I tried a jack shaft opener, it was was more trouble than I wanted to deal with. One of the major drawbacks is it does not pull the door down, so if it does not have enough weight in the vertical position it just unwinds the cables from the pulley. I tried the spring pushers mounted to the track...

These JLs drive great. My ‘23 was a Sahara and it was a smooth ride (for a solid axle suv). That was until a TRE wore and gave me death wobble. Once that was replaced it was back to smooth. As great as the ‘23 was, my current ‘26 is just amazing. It is a Moab, so the larger wheels make it even...

Tommy Lusco? @Jeep Addict

There are freeze plugs, I don’t recommend removing them though.

For context, the 392 JL does not use the 4:1 transfer case gearing because the brakes would be to weak to stop it. That was one of the reasons given by a engineer on the development team. Having too deep of a crawl ratio can be bad as well, depending on the use case.

Fairly sure that one went thru Dennis Collins’ hands at one point. @Jeep Addict was that your postal at one point?

You don’t have any metal recycling places around you? I accumulate my steel until it is time for a trip to the yard. Usually get at least a tank of gas out of the scrap each time. My best load was around $7,000. But that was when prices were way up and I was cleaning out the remains from a...

I always catch more hardhead than anything else, but most of my fishing was around surfside.

Surf or flats boat? Love some fresh red fish or snapper.

Pretty sure they applied the undercoating after the full assembly. Got that stuff all over the Overlander. Axles, brake lines, fuel lines, wire harnesses. Like a rubber asphalt mess.

I use a gastapper. It was not a cheap option, but it has come in very handy. It is noisy with the click-clack pump. It comes with all kinds of adapters to allow bypassing the various tank fill restrictions. https://www.cycleworld.com/sport-rider/review-gastapper-standard-siphon-pump/ Once...
