When I was tearing the front end apart to do the front LSD and gears this past weekend... Found out I needed front pads as well, but I thought i could stretch it out a couple of days. Turns out I couldn't, LOL. A couple heavy stops in traffic yesterday helped make that super clear, so now I'm...

I installed a new front gear set and true-trac to replace the front gears that went KPOW in my jeep. Holy hell its a lot of work. But got a good pattern n backlash after hours of swearing at it and taking it apart, and putting it back together and taking it apart and putting it back together and...

So, kind of a late follow up to this but I've been putting together a stitch and glue kayak for the past couple weeks now... I'll grab some photos when I get home, but I've finished the interior fiberglass and I'm getting ready to start on the exterior glassing of it. Its been a SUPER cool...

The lockers on it moves it to the "maybe" list for us. The downside is the stupid spool shocks. Not sure we'd replace them right off the bat, but they're not good enough justify getting another set after they die or start losing performance. What is nice about this vs the Raptor or TRX is that...

@Pi_Baker lets do it!

I'd look into replacing the fan coupling with a new unit when you can, the power losses coming from having the fan fully engaged all the time are often quite large. Additionally if the fan is overcooling, it can hide other symptoms that might still be occurring in the system. Oh, i see you got...

I bought my JKU brand new, It had like 3 miles from being driven around the dealer lot. Its sneaking up on 176k.

I've been sealing up these plano boxes in the same way for a few years now to keep dust out, it works AWESOME. Glad to see that others have been doing the same thing! :D

yeah, there was supposed to be a link along with it, LOL. https://www.outriggercanoeclubsports.com/canoe-racing/ Hope this helps!

I've ordered fabrics and insulation from a site called "ripstop by the roll" before and they have a HUGE range of high performance fabrics, insulation, notions, etc. Its a great great place to get raw materials from

Here's a little history on the ocean going canoes and their cultural significance in Hawaii. It also has some cool run downs on the canoes themselves and the history of them, as well as the construction/methods they've used over the years. For yours in particular, the twarts on yours might...

That looks like an awesome canoe, I've recently gotten into SUP but I'd love to have a canoe again. They enable some REALLY cool multiday trips. Personally I wouldn't bother with much in the way of spray skirts/outriggers/etc on a small canoe like that. The exception being of you wanted to stand...

That looks like a nice morning. As a fellow 'always up before the sunrise' person, getting to see the sun come up daily is pretty awesome and its a nice calm way to start the day before the daily insanity starts.

The Jeep got some new driving lights, BD squadron sports... these things are awesome. I'll be replacing the spot beams in the bumper at some point as well.

Oh those kit kubes are awesome, Saving that link...

Its actually quite a bit softer than the OEM swaybars... so far its been a HUGE improvement in ride quality on road and performance off road has been awesome. I loose a little bit of flex vs no sway bar but it's a TON more stable during high speed shenanigans

Of the options I ended up looking at, I'm going go with the Garvin rack if I ended up getting one. BIG if on that one, however. Even 70lbs for the rack itself up high on the jeep would be really noticeable.

Lots of this... So many of the bits of gear we need/use on trips is built up over time based on where we go, how we use our trucks and cars and what our experience levels are... I always suggest to my friends that they get a half decent portable air compressor and something to deflate tires...

Jeep got some new stuff... Power steering cooler to because it was boiling the fluid and a new front sway bar because doing the axle truss and new trackbar bracket on the jeep made it so my sway bar disconnect could no longer disconnect...

You see it to an extent as well with newbie jeep owners who just go out and buy a rubicon wrangler and then either tear up trails or break the jeep or roll it... Luckily a lot of times those folks get educated and stick with it, but there are similar groups of idiots in all outdoor recreation...
