    Cluthch and brakes quit working at the same time

    I was pulling the neighbor's car out of a little mudhole the other day and while clutched in waiting for him to hook up the tow strap, my jeep began to crawl forward.

    Do it for the "Gram": How social media has ruined overlanding

    The "support me on patreon" crowd with every social media profile they have stuck all over the side of their vehicle make me want to leave an area if they're there. A travelling gear sponsor basically. Crawling around bivouac sites trying to talk you into the latest overlandy gadget.

    Rough idle after highway use

    No code. Or no visible code. It’s like one of the cylinders isn’t firing. But only for 30 seconds or so. Then it clears itself up. I’ll try the insulation fix as well. I think I saw a tsb about that somewhere.

    Rough idle after highway use

    After an while of highway use 55-70 mph my Jeep idles rough for a few minutes. Usually if I stop for gas or whatever. It goes away but I def have a cylinder misfiring after startup. Could this be heat soak? I’m changing my plugs today to see if it remedies it. 2002 4.0 119,xxx miles

    Roof Top Tents

    Still using it. Nothing but positive experiences with it so far. The trailer is a must. Because once you get there you don’t have to de rig your tent to go explore.
