Love those old GMT400's! I seem to remember, on the generation of Chevy truck just prior, maybe 70's through late 80's, that there was a factory option for a second gas tank complete with a factory rocker switch to flip from one to the other. A friend of mine had this set up in his. It might...

If any if that sounds good to you, I can put you in touch with KOLAK from the Jeep forums. He is an IRO dealer and knows his stuff

I know it's not a JK, but my 99 Grand Cherokee is solid axles, separate coil springs and shocks, so similar in that sense. I used a simple 2 inch lift using Iron Rock Offroad springs, Crown Automotive perch isolators, Pro Comp 9000 series shocks and some Moog sway bar links. In my case I...

ROBBIE thanks for starting this thread, because: OUTDOORDOG and GRUBWORM, I plan to be in Montana early to mid October and want to check out Yellowstone sometime before or after the 10th. USSTRONGMAN thank you so much for all of that information. I may not have a lot of time to spend there...

Well, I've not thought seriously about getting a HAM, but that may change. What I am planning is to also pick up some FRS. Having more than one communications method sounds like a better practice. And at the very least, my CB has weather with alerts, so I get to be scared pantsless when the...

Must've been a ghost that advised me just this past January in Georgia, I guess. I dont deny there have been "better" modes of communication these last 20 years, but it seems to still have a place

I was headed northbound in Georgia just this past January when my cell phone GPS suddenly sent me in what seemed to be a completely random direction. We've all fallen victim to something like Wayze, who sometimes sends you on a convoluted route to save 30 seconds of drive time. So I checked the...

There's not a lot of CB traffic here in the Northeast. Mostly it was replaced with cell phones and FRS and GMRS about 15-20 years ago, at least for 4 wheelers. But I will say the CB came in handy for trips to Florida. A lot more people with a lot more to say in the air from Pennsylvania on...

I've got a Cobra 29 with expanded frequency i bought used, but no weather. Maybe I'll take extra frequencies out and replace with weather, put it in the GMC Sierra and put the 25 into the Jeep. Up until hurricane Irma, I was receiving folks from the deep south and Puerto Rico all the way here...

Cobra 25 LTD Classic with weather. Mag mount at center of roof.

An older one, but a good one...

I've always had Beagles going back to the 70's when I was a little kid. One Brittany Spaniel mixed in. So meeting my girlfriend's Yorkie was a shock that she was smaller than many cats. Like 4 pounds. I had been without a dog for years. Well she is just an amazing dog, so we bred her and had...

Roller, My girlfriend has two Yorkshire Terriers and they hike right along with us and my Beagle. I was never a fan of little dogs until I met these ones. Amazing creatures with a lot of heart. And fearless! They just love to be outdoors whenever possible, they are great at alerting us to...

Lind of like the old Jeep CJ 6. Saw a guy in Boston had one in the 1990's. Pretty cool

LJ = Long Jeep. It's a designation they used for a slightly longer body that was in use for a while before they finally decided to make 4-door Wranglers, I think

Beautiful dog! All beautiful dogs in this thread! Looking at those Alabama Hills I expect to see 1960's Capt. Kirk and a lizard man locked in mortal combat in the background

This I kind of like! What about some sort of clamp that has a tab into a slot on one end, flexes or bends slightly around the handle annd then has this sort of screw/ thumb bolt on the other side. That way you wouldnt have to drill through the tools. I'm sur eim not using the correct name for...

Right, that top single joint is really tough to get to. I've not gone there yet. The lift on my WJ is 2 inches, so it's about at the limit where I dont have to modify control arms or sway bar links or pitman arm. But I'm pretty sure after 20 years, that rear center control arm joint is probably...

One of the WJ's limitations has to do with a triangular, three point control arm at the rear. I havent even touched that yet. And being in ew England, every process that begins as "unbolt the..." here usually starts with "due to corrosion and rust, use your torch or sawzall to remove the...

Wow. Full weight? I would not have guessed that just by looking at them in the picture. That's pretty impressive. Dont get me wrong, I'm not able to just throw money at all of my solutions and have been known to come up with a few "off the cuff." Obviously this is more substantial than met my eye.
