I've been keeping an eye out for a truck the past few months. As much as I love my Jeep, I'm not driving that thing 8 hours to and from school a few times a year for the next 3 years. I've been mainly looking at first gen Tacomas, but holy shit are they expensive. Who is paying $12k for a truck...

Recently decided to upgrade my backpacking sleep setup after 5+ years. Ended up buying a 15 degree Mountain Hardwear bag, and tested it out elk hunting this weekend. Nighttime lows were mid to low 40s. I wasn't necessarily cold, but definitely colder than I should've been in that bag. My guess...

Woke up around 10 today and decided you know what I want to do on my day off? Change my diff fluid. Ya know, something easy that needed done and wouldn't take more than an hour or two. Spent the next couple hours chasing down some gaskets. Finally got everything I needed and back home around...

Well I was just driving down I-70 when all the sudden it downshifted and won't shift anymore. I can't get it to rev over 3k RPM now. Is my transmission done or is something else going on? I'm also kinda in the middle of nowhere.

Anyone have any experience with these Bulldawg tops? They look pretty rad but I've never heard of them before and can't find much on them. https://www.bulldawgmfg.com/shop/Highlander_TJ_Hard_Top-26-2.html

Trying to figure out if it's my alternator or battery that's starting to fail. I know I can get my battery tested for free at O'Reilly's, but would prefer to be able to diagnose stuff like that at home. Is a battery tester worth it and if so any recommendations?

Need a new power steering pump. Are there any that I should avoid or that you recommend?

What rear bumpers w/ hitch recievers do y'all recommend? I have some ancient rusted out Drawtite reciever currently. Not a fan of how it messes with my departure angle and clearance and not sure how much long its gonna last. Not gonna be towing anything, but I'd like to have one for a bike rack...

I've been noticing a gunpowder smell when driving for a while now, but haven't though much of it. Today I noticed that it was extra strong and more consistent. My guess is that it's the cat but that was replaced a few years ago IIRC. Any ideas?

I've been thinking about some more upgrades to make my Jeep somewhat more practical for me. At least as practical as a Jeep can be. My short term plan as of now is to make the best rig possible for what I love (fishing, biking, climbing, hunting, offroading, etc.) A big part of that is solving...

This week I'd like to get my fender flares and mirror mounts looking good again. Anyone ever restored the mirror mounts before?

Planning on regearing in the next couple of months. All of the videos I've watched people have done it on lifts. Is it doable without one and just gonna be a PITA or would I be better off taking it to a shop?

Another thread made me think about the future of carbon in the offroading world. In other car stuff it seems like its everywhere these days. Coming from mountain biking as well, everything is carbon now. It's getting stronger and stronger. It saves weight and does things that metal could never...

Anyone used RainX on their back window to keep snow and ice off?

What's y'all's go to wheeling music? This so my playlist from last year and need some music to add to it.

The thread about a hunting rig made me start thinking about fishing season. Got a couple of lakes I want to wheel into this summer. Anyone built their rigs for fishing specifically? I pretty much just throw my rod in when I'm hitting rivers close to me with my top off.

Noticed a bunch of cracking on the sidewall of my front left tire today. They're well within their life expectancy so really not sure what to think. It seems like it's a pretty common thing. Anyone else ever had this with KO2s and is it something I need to worry about?

I have no idea if general discussion is the right place for this thread, but I'm sure someone will yell at me if it's not. I'm working on building a Jeep bag. I hesitate to say bug out bag but I guess that's what it is. I'm just trying to build something where if I ever have to hike out of...
