Ya it was a great time. Hoping to get in on next year's run too but I will have to see!

Well, I have been busy doing everything but working on the Jeep lately. we packed up the house and moved, had a hard time getting internet so my wife's plan of working from home has shifted slightly, I had to find a new line of work, and had a lot of issues with the house when we moved in that...

Look into old man emu or just do a spacer lift at 2" height. That way you keep all your stock components if that is an issue. That should give you the clearance for that size tire.

The big question would be what size tires are you planning on running and where o you plan to take the Jeep. I am a firm believer that a modified vehicle can be as good or better than a stock one for overlanding. It isn't needs to be done right. I probably run close to the same for weight in...

ya I have slowly ben working on mine too. I sound deadened the interior and put the carpet back in which helped with noise a bit. It's got a driveline vibe that I haven't been able to track down yet, may be the front shaft... may just be gears. My wife kinda hates it lol.

Storage is my main problem. I haven't had the back seat I this thing in years and it's been built around solo trips basically. Me a a passenger head out for a few days and get off grid for a bit and come home lol

was thinking of this myself over the last few weeks. wife tells me I cant have more than 1 toy and 1 daily, and I'm growing out of my current daily fairly quickly! ( wife, dog, 1 year old and all his stuff and our stuff for camping piled into a compass is getting a little tight.) I figure if i...

I am assuming with all of the armor on y Jeep that once I load tools, spares, food and gear I am likely over the GVWR. It does have upgraded brakes ( big brake kit designed for a JK since I have JK axles.... ish) so it stops well, the only issues I run into all of the time with the Jeep is that...

Ya I never really though about gvwr. I really should weigh my the lol. It's probly close when empty lol.

Ya I will have to do the same. And get used to taking things a little slower too.

I had a 1500 blazer and a pathfinder before I got into Jeeps. That was probably 15 years ago almost. I miss having the space but the Jeep was able to tackle he trails I wanted a little better. Now with a growing family I think I need to get back into a full size rig.

Hey Full size peeps! who's got what? what would you change and what do you love? I may be looking at building a full size rig down the road but likely not for at least a year of 2. That said it will likely end up much like my Jeep and be able to tackle a moderate to difficult trail ( middle of...

I look at it slightly differently. I wouldn't take it out Rock crawling in bashing the hell out of it but when I buy a vehicle I gave certain expectations of it and I know that I will be taking it camping. This said I've never had $65,000 to spend on a vehicle but the ones I have bought new, I...

Great place for someone with this hobby. Building off road rigs every day. Too bad I had to quit. Relocating to be closer to family so we have some support for our kid since my wife about ready to get back into work.

I used to bring a rooftop tent mounted to a trailer to events I was driving my Jeep too. Nice thing was I could set up and drop it for the weekend and wheel the jeep. But I really find it awkward to get in and out of and have fallen off the ladder getting out of it in the morning. It's just not...

Assuming the end that looks like a tie rod end is on the frame side, yea that's normal.

Well if there was a sensor and not a distributor originally there wouldn't have been a drive gear to start with.

I've never heard of that before. Not sure why they would step back in time on a recall like that.

Something doesn't add up there. They go in the same spot but if it was a camshaft position sensor they took out and added a distributor the vehicle would have 2 sets of ignition wires and the computer would fight itself trying to figure out what was going on.
