I would like to be able to wheel a few days atleast.
    I didn't realize a Propane set-up ate so much. Well that sucks. Yeah I can see where it would be handy to have a refill station.

        Awesome! 3 phone calls and I have an address and phone number for the Badin Lake General Store at 2496 Blaine rd in New London NC. 15-20 min from the Outpost! 336-461-2066. I'm putting this here so that I will be able to find it later.

        Thank You very much Customcj7!

          Well Propane is about 110 Octane. There is a little bit off mileage loss when put on a stock vehicle. When I rebuild, I will build to the 10-11 to 1 compression or so to take advantage of the octane rating. Plus I run 2 10 gallon tanks and you can only use 80 percent of each tank. That only equates to about 15-16 gallons when the stock GW tank holds 19. Plus I had to rewire my TFI coil to get rid of the resistance wire. The TFI coil needs a full 12 volts to fire properly. This should help in the mileage.

                My OX is on order... it will go straight to the guy with my XJ D44 and 4.10 gears for set-up. Then I have to drive the MJ over and have him weld new spring and shock perches onto the axle and help me mount it.

                I also have to get a new t'case shifter, and I am considering running turning brakes!

                I *might* do some fender trimming and run 33x10.5 TSLs.

                No travel trailer yet, so it's either sleeping in the bed or a tent. Depends on whether or not I go solo.
