Why not? Gutter mount roof rack/rails and you should be good to go.

I took out about 50 of those furry rats last year. I have a great system worked out. The squirrels started it. They made an enemy of Varmint #4 (the dog). They would sit just out of reach in a tree next to the deck and taunt him. Well, that has cost them. Varmint #4 barks to alert me to...

Suffer? Perish the thought. I love it. I don't know what else I would do with myself.

Put a "NO PARKING" sign on the post. Then everyone will ignore it.

I hate to break it to you, but this is changing. The SoCal junkyards are slim pickings anymore. Other markets are just a few years behind.

I like the 4.0, but I can't quite say it is the best engine ever built. That accolade belongs to the 5.9 Cummins 12V. But it is worth noting they are both inline sixes. The ZJ doesn't need apologies for its unibody construction. The XJ seems to perform fairly well on a weaker unibody. Jeep...

Ignore? What does that mean?

You will want a full day (or more) for Arches. You will want a full day (or more) for Canyonlands. You will want several full days for trails. Oh, and there is also Dead Horse Point State Park. Oh, and Canyonlands? That is like three separate parks, requiring three separate entrances if...

My messiest was when Varmint #1 spent all his time studying a map while on a winding road. He learned the hard way that he needs to pay attention to the world around him.

We will put that in there with the running the car into the wall idea.

My father was not at all mechanically inclined, but we had lots of things that needed fixed. And we lived out in the sticks. We didn't even get electricity until the mid '70s. I learned out of necessity. Largely the hard way. But I also learned that I could overcome just about any obstacle...

Yep! This is the sort of information that folks need in order to make better decisions. If you don't like to be informed to this degree then skip right over it and move on to the next thread.

Shafer trail, down the White Rim trail (permit required for that--check with Canyonlands for availability) and then down Lathrop Canyon. That will take you all the way from the top of the mesas down to the bank of the Colorado River. Nothing likely to give you any rock rash. The top of...

Road is spot on. Get out there and camp. You will then discover what YOU need. Don't worry about what everyone else has. There is a percentage of those folks who are just into what looks cool, but they hardly do anything with their toys. The accessories do not equate with the experiences...

No problem. Snorkel and a life preserver ring for the rig. Swimming lessons for the kids. Swimming vest for the dog. He will be all ready to try this again next year.

People. Not likely to be the fault of the vehicle, regardless of make. Not even if it were an SUV.

QFT! I am getting into building my own axles now. I have a D30 project sitting on a couple of sawhorses right now. Plans call for truss, gussets and an Ox Locker. It is getting to the point that about the only things I don't do are AC service, automatic transmissions, injection pump service...

How nice of him to plan ahead and video it. That is how we get good parts in the junkyard.

Sounds great. But the site doesn't seem to open for me.

There is very little I don't do myself, but that is me. BillieBob is somewhere around here, and there is very little he does himself. That is him. Both approaches are potentially viable. Your own skill level, finances and comfort level will dictate your decision.
