I would pick up a good portable air compressor and air pressure gauge, in the event that the Moab driving requires a reduction in tire pressure for better traction.

That reminds me to send you a few pics of my Honda CRV hybrid traversing a particularly-rugged Wendy's drive-thru...I kept tire pressures up to 32 psi and just sent it...

When we rented the Jeeps, they were always aired down to about 15psi or so. When rock climbing or driving on sand, it does provide more traction.

Cheap air compressors do not have the CFM or duty cycle to pump up 35"s unless I want to take 2 hrs or so to do it. The units that can do it run in the $400 range. Right now, since we work, we are looking at 3 or 4 trips a yr so We dont think its worth it. When we rented, we drove on the road for 15-20 miles (with the rental companies permission) to get to the trail head. He said as long as you're not going long distance its not an issue. So getting to a gas station with air after we finish the trail should not be an issue.

I would love to have an ARB dual piston compressor and do an under hood mount but then Im looking at close to $1k for that set up. That might come down line after we retire an we start doing this more often. We have started looking at property in the St George area.

I would rather put that $$$ toward a toy like this.

Just had the passenger tail light replaced. The reverse light did not work. Advisor showed me the dealer invoice...$2400 for a tail light. That is just not right. Glad its under warranty.

That is insane. They had to drop the engine to change the blinker fluid?

Funny part is the labor was "only" $115 or so.

Same issue on the F150s, very expensive to replace. I have seen some dtories where vandals are ripping taillights out of parked f150s for resale. I think those also have load or weight leveling indicators in them as well. The issue is sealed/full unit LEDs so ford can control pricing on it.
