It's hard to beat a Suburban or Yukon XL for Overlanding space and comfort. Gotta love the 2500 version as well for stouter parts you can depend on as you add weight. -TJ

Very cool machine, but I can't say I have any specific ideas for a bed build-out. I'd say watch a bunch of YouTube to see how others have done it, especially various Aussie "Tray" beds as suggested above. Make a list of what your NEED and what you WANT to have with you. Are you sleeping in/on...

We have a WK2 in addition to my WJ, but I don't see us doing too much Overlanding with it: Still, I love seeing an off-road WK2 build. They're actually very capable and I think under-rated/estimated too often. -TJ

Cool build, I actually dig the new Cherokees. And I believe it's the same color as our WK2: -TJ

That console build is amazing, not many people take on an overhead console from scratch! Oh, and Tara is too cute. -TJ

Personally, I think the whole "old engines had so much torque" but newer engines don't have torque is largely a misconception. Yes, the Powerglide 2-speed was the only auto-trans available in the 'vette for some time, in fact the first 2.5 model years of 'vettes ONLY had the 2-speed Powerglide...

Most of the new high-gear-count transmissions give you "the best of both worlds" as in way deeper lower gears, and way taller overdriveS (plural, as in many of them). The gear spacing is also tighter, meaning the engine can be kept in it's power or efficiency ranges better. It's really a "have...

Wow, that rear build-out/kitchen/batteries/electrical is crazy impressive. Any idea how much weight all of that has added? -TJ

You don't see a lot of the mid-size Blazer builds. Bummer on the trans. A SAS would be cool... and obv I'm a solid axle fan (WJ myself) but I suppose it depends on how you intend to use it... -TJ

That's one mean looking Lex! -TJ

Really nice looking Titan. It's always nice to see some of the less-common builds. Great color too. -TJ

Obviously I'm way behind... but WOW that looks amazing. Also, love the 3rd Gen 4 Runner, they're still one of my favorites and I considered one heavily when I got the WJ. Great build-out. -TJ

Damn, sorry about your first one, it was a really clean, good looking build. But that green one is a super cool color, and in a PX4 if I'm not mistaken? I'm sure it'll be as bitchen in no time... -TJ

How is the rust underneath? The good thing with the platform will be the abundance of parts available for it. -TJ

Cool build, and tip 'o the hat to you for knowing what you wanted, and finding the right platform for that. I'll have a look at some of your vids this evening! -TJ

That. Looks. Amazing. -TJ

What a great write-up! I couldn't agree more about the WJ's inherent strengths, or "claim to fame" being that amazing balance between on-road performance (smooth ride, yet somehow sporty on solid axles) and some serious off-road capability (flex) in stock form. It's nice to see somebody...

Just noticed this thread started in '17... either way "howdy" from just down the way in Lincoln. Awesome FJ40! -TJ

I get the warning... but I think we're all respectful of private land already. In this case though, it sounds like it started at a campground (not private land) and then went to a trail (not private land). The deceased's family has made a statement clarifying he was not on any private land...

My understanding was the altercation started at a campground where the first 2 victims were shot, then the suspect fled on/in a stolen OHV (my understanding is that it was previously stolen, not stolen at that time). Suspect then came across the father and son in their Jeep, shot and killed the...
