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? <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=607263"/>

Not exactly an expedition post but the left side tan one is our expedition rig with airbags, lift and many many other mods. We tow a popup cause we aren't true tow and camp on the trail. We are a camp and take a trail family.
Well today we finished off the family of JK's by my oldest getting his first jeep. The middle blue one is his. 2009 and came with a lot of extras for a great price and only 72k miles. Just wanted to brag a bit about it. Orange on the right is my wife's. Hers is a blank canvas for now. And the blue one will eventually get lifted etc.
I follow this group and have posted several times. My tan rig is a do everything rig that's why it's not heavily modded except for the paint job. It's our travel off-road rig mainly.

Mine was good until it rusted, and was tough as hell to close. Then when I told Teraflex about it, they wanted to charge my card for a new one, while I wait for them to ship it to me, and then ship mine back. Only after they got mine back would I get my money back. Pretty poor customer service if you ask me. I can understand wanting to charge while they wait to get mine back, but the full price of a new one? No way. Also I would have had to pay for shipping back to them.
Sucks that you had such bad experience from them.

This has some potential for the overlanding community. Not all Jeeps, but that is the nature of overlanding, isn't it?

Alright guys I need some help. I've been saving up for the Gobi Ranger and I have enough cash now, but thanks to this thread found myself looking at the barricade offered by extreme terrain. I need a rack to move my kayak and one day a roof top tent. Both succeed in doing this so it comes down to style and price. I like that the Gobi already has a basket but I'm not sure I need a basket. Any input from anyone is appreciated but I'd really like to hear from people who have a Gobi or a barricade. Thanks guys.
