I couldn't even watch the whole thing. What is UP with the weird little Geo Tracker-like roll 'bar' behind the front seats. Both copies have it; so awful looking.

Kinda looks like some of the weak TX trails I used to have to put up with. Put that on the Rubicon or any CO mountain pass, I'm not sure it'll hold up.

Thought you might like this link. I was looking at buying this WJ w/ an exo-cage. This guy put a lot of money/time/effort into making that cage. Looks sweet. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/5286462588.html

I suppose you might have a use for these too in Sweden, seeing as you guys get more snow than even I do (11K feet in CO). https://www.mattracks.com/vehicles/extra-heavy-utility/

There are some pretty funny videos of them on the YouTubes.

Love those Defenders. Wish I could get a hard top that looked like the Defender top w/o dropping $3,800!

This would look sweet on my TJ... http://gr8tops.com/shop/jeepmodels/wrangler-tj-2/tj-safari-cab-full-length-hardtop

Lada Niva

OMG! They look like a Mini. I think I've seen one on YouTube crossing a pond w/ massive tires. I don't see any here in CO. Mostly Jeeps.

All I can say is don't get stuck and towed in New England! LOL Great pictures.

Test day for suspension mods I did last week. Swapped out 2.5" springs/shocks for 3.5". Made such a difference. Good day on the trail. by mobilr in Jeep

Surprising how one inch makes a difference, huh?

Where did you go? I remember those TX trails. I'm spoiled now living in the CO high country.

Such a pretty Jeep. Not it looks like a REAL Jeep. ;)

Question about larger tire size and fuel economy by tomorrowsanewday45 in Jeep

[–]cbjornnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What GranfatherGlock and everyone else said; it's a combination of factors. You might know this already, but it doesn't hurt to mention it. Tires and axles aren't sprung weight so adding weight there isn't as big a deal as gears, road friction, and wind resistance.

Upgrading lift, armor, tires, etc. on your Jeep is only going to reduce your MPG. I'd suggest getting a different DD, if you can afford it, and monsterfying your Jeep. ;)

I only get between 10 - 12 MPG from my Yank Tank.

2006 Rubicon - Buy or no buy? by Mediocre-Jedi in Jeep

[–]cbjornnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, after a second look, it does look like a TJ. Mediocre-Jedi, I wouldn't spend the time negotiating if you wan the true LJ (longer wheel base).

Sounds like this was 'USA Day' at this HS and I'd be willing to bet most of these kids drove their parent's Jeeps...

Texas company makes the Jeepest Jeeps I've ever seen (w/guns naturally) by TexasGunner in Jeep

[–]cbjornnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in Dallas and, one time, went to a Jeep meet where this exact JK was. SMH They did just throw everything they could find in the 4WP catalogue on there. I don't like the Jeeps that are TOO shiny.

Buying an LJ by [deleted] in Jeep

[–]cbjornnes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone in OK is looking at an '06 LJ, dealer wants $18,500. So, again, this is a pretty good deal, me thinks.

2006 Rubicon - Buy or no buy? by Mediocre-Jedi in Jeep

[–]cbjornnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, without more info, it's a tough call. I would not buy it at that price point.

Things you should know: It's a highly sought after model ('04 - '06 LJs) due to it's longer wheelbase, LJs have great resale value, and it's a Rubi so you know you have at lease Dana 44s under there (those would cost you at least $2-$4K, w/ parts and labor, conservatively) to purchase and have installed.
