I'm looking for some opinions from the overlanding guys on the D30 strength on 35s w/ a LSD.

I have a chance to upgrade to a D44 w/ e-locker or just putting a truetrac in my D30. The price difference is the price of the snorkel that's on my wish list.

Am I nuts not to immediately jump on the D44 and push the snorkel until Xmas? Will the D30 hold up if I don't? Anybody gone the D30 LSD route then regretted it?

This will be interesting to read what peoples view points are on this?

I'm running an Auburn Ected e-locker up front with 35s. It is also LSD. My D30 is pretty modified. Chromoly shafts, 4.88 gears, sleeved and gusseted. It has worked for me for 160K miles. To see where, suggest you check out my videos: DigitalByDoiron. Especially Kinta 2. I used the front locker more there than anywhere else.

I'd wait for a D44 w/4.10s if you're going to run 35s, or plan for a regear later. And do you *need* a snorkel to get to places you currently can't, or do you just want one for aesthetics? If the latter, then I'd wait...but that's just IMHO.

4.10s or 4.56s just aren't in the cards for me. The jeep budget only gets funded by Xmas and bday. My bday was in march so it'll be awhile. Trying to make the most of the $1400 I have in the jeep fund.

A snorkel would provide some peace of mind. Mud holes around here turn into ponds this time of year.

Flip a coin, catch the coin cover it up. Just before you look at it think about what you are hoping the coin says, do that.

Thanks for the compliments.
It's a rare 06 Fleetwood Neon.
Fridge is an Edgestar 43qt. They're $470 new and I was happy it worked as advertised. Underside of bed is 19", but fridge is 20" tall, so no fit. Rear seat in a 2dr Wrangler must be removed for fridge to fit there, which is where it used to be placed, but I don't want it there anymore for more room. Back to a cooler. $350

Hello everyone, I am new here and new to the JK though I have owned several Jeeps in the past. I love the expedition set ups that you guys have and I would like to slowly work in that direction. I purchased the Jeep used in September of 2014 it is a Silver 2 door 2012 COD MW3 Edition Rubicon.

Here is my starting point:

Year:2012Model:RubiconColor:SilverTransmission:Aut omaticSuspension:TERAFLEX 2.5" Coil spring Lift Kit w/ Shock Extensions and stock Rubicon shocks, Front Lower Long FlexArms, Rear Lower Sport FlexArmsWheels & Tires:Black Rubicon MOAB wheels with 35x12.50x17 NITTO Trail Grappler MTsBumpers:AEV tubeless Front bumper, AEV Rear bumper with tire carrierArmor:Stock Rubicon Armor, AEV Front Skid plate, AEV Rear Differential Skid plateDrivetrain:3.6L V6, automaticWinch:Smittybilt XRC8Performance:Superchips FlashpaqLights:PIAA 540 windshield mounted lightsAccessories:VIAIR 400C Air Compressor mounted in engine compartment

I want to slowly make additions to the Jeep and would like suggestions from you guys. First I would like to get proper length shocks for my lift (I am thinking Blistein 5100's or Old Man Emu). Next I want to add some armor. I am mainly interested in engine and transmission skids and maybe an evaporator skid (is this needed?).

Now storage, I need help here since this is a 2 door. I am hoping to do small weekend camping trips for now with my wife and six year old son. The long range, hope is a Gobi rack and maybe a roof top tent or an off road trailer but those options are several years out. For now we will be camping in a dome tent. I have a SmittyBilt hard top (added after the photos) and want opinions for mounting a basket type rack to it (what brands and models do you recommend?). Also I do not remove the top since I need to be able to lock it up. The other option that I am looking at is one of the basket type racks that mount to the spare tire carrier (I have the heavy duty AEV rear bumper with swing out tire carrier so it should handle a good bit of weight.

The advantages that I see to the basket racks that mount to the spare tire mount are lower cost, and the ability to easily remove it. If I install a roof top basket it will be a permanent install and effect gas mileage even as a daily driver.

Here are a couple I was looking at:

Olympic 4x4 Products 904-404 - Olympic 4X4 Products Sierra Rack in Rubicon Black - Quadratec

Surco SJ4319 - Surco Spare Tire Rack for Jeep® Vehicles - Quadratec

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Welcome to the forums! The rack I have for my 2 door is the Barricade one from extremeterrains website. I got it Black Friday for around $240 and I think it's around there now. For the price it's a very sturdy rack. Haven't had any problems with rust throughout the winter (on since December) and was very easy to install.
