    Default Hey, I'm new. Bored in OK.

    Hello, just introducing myself so I don't get comments about introducing myself. I am very particular about the gear I use and the fire arms I own. I do alot of practical research and train with all my equipment often. Last but not least if it's not a Jeep it's not allowed in my garage. (Real Jeeps not Jeecars)

    Welcome home. It's fortunate I didn't ask to park my off road vehicle in your garage. It's not a jeep but it does pretty good offroad. I'm sure it would squash your jeep. I have the stereo hooked up to some hydraulics. It can even dance!

    The dump truck is total overkill I love it. As for the tank can't drive and shoot solo so it's a go preceded by a no.

    Cool So....

    Let me ask you this, are you talking about the "REAL" jeeps, or the "Knock-offs" made by Chrysler? Myself I'd prefer a military Humvee over the later model Jeeps, they turn over way to easily, although my Granddaughter in Oklahoma has a red Cherokee!

    Being Military and having used this piece of scrap to depend on for my life, I think the HMMWV is junk to many issues between the drive train and suspension. The newer turbo diesel engines are a vast improvement I admit over the old standard M1025s. I love old flat fenders, Ford MUTs, and CJ 7 & 8s (CJ 5s are garbage) but in my humble opinion the TJ 96-06 is the most capable off road vehicle made and the after market support for that particular model is larger than any other vehicle in history. Designed by off roaders for off roaders. Most Jeep roll overs are caused by idiots lifting it for looks. Ground clearance is all based on tire size vs diff housing, not lift and most don't get that. True crawlers want droop over lift. Lower COG with wider, longer wheelbase = stability as you probably already know. My TJ is stretched slightly, long arm lift with triangulated front and rear coil suspension on 37" x 12.5" Pitbulls. 5:37s in twin Dana 44s w/ ARBs. 4:1 transfer case ratio w/ a custom 2 LO selection to free up the fronts but have the high torque grunt making tight turns/maneuvers posible on the trails. I like to think it's almost survival capable. My other Jeeps are also similarly equipped/built. Truth be told, my BN has a habit of calling me in my POV to come get HMMWVs out of messes that they shouldn't be in.
