    Printable 5-Tire Rotation Card

    Had a very frustrating experience with the "Tire Experts" who have been rotating all 5 of my tires for a while now. Basically, they refused to rotate in the spare on my brand new set of tires because of some reason that was indiscernible. After a short discussion, the manager suggest I provide...

    Adventures of Ben's Willys

    Hey y'all, been a while since I've been on here. I had a Tacoma that I was building up, but sold it and I've been driving a Crosstrek for the past four years or so. Wanted something a little bigger and more capable, so the other day I went out and bought a new 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys...

    World's First Flat Pack Vehicle is Made for Off Road - OX

    Did you guys see this? It's the Ox. The famous formula 1 designer Gordon Murray designed it. It's the world's first flat-pack vehicle that is designed specifically for use in developing countries that typically have bad (or nonexistent) roads. It's FWD and powered by a Ford 2.2l diesel (100hp...

    Adventures of the Little Blue Taco (TRD, 4x4, Off Road, etc)

    Soooo, I purchased a new 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 DCSB TRD Off Road (whew) back in May. I've taken it off road several times already and I'm really happy with it. I've never owned a new car before, so it was really neat for me to experience that. I wouldn't normally consider purchasing new, but...

    Am I getting old?

    I love my new truck so much, I don't want to do anything to it! I mean, I'm looking for a way to mount my winch, and I am in the market for a RTT and bed rack, but you'd think I'd want a lift, bigger tires, etc, but I don't. Feels weird, but I seriously don't want to mess with it. Any other...

    FOR SALE Free Overhead Console for Jeep XJ or ZJ

    Bought this on eBay a while back with the hopes of installing it in my 99 XJ, but never got around to it. It's from a ZJ (the original XJ one attached to the visors). People say you can install this in the XJ though. There are a few articles about it. Supposedly the wires and harness are in the...

    FOR SALE Surco S5072 50" x 72" Safari Roof Rack

    I'm selling the roof rack that was on my 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ. It's an awesome full length aluminum Surco rack, with a flooring kit and four gutter mounts per side (very sturdy rack and mounting system). If you were to buy this exact rack from amazon now (as I did), it would be about $700. I'm...

    Rig Names

    After seeing @jordanbrooks name his new Jeep according to the results of the poll (I totally voted for Blue Steel), it got me thinking. I've always just called my vehicle "the Jeep" but that may change. You see, I first bought a CB radio... then I watched Big Trouble in Little China... I think...

    Anniversary Trip to Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest

    My wife and I typically try to get away this time of year for a few days for our anniversary (we got married on 12/23—not a great choice in terms of timing). So this year I thought it'd be fun to take the Jeep out for its first real trip since I started building it for overlanding. Thirteenth...

    Southeast?

    I've seen a few members here in the SE. Would a Southeast section work? Maybe GA/AL/TN/NC/SC/FL? I'm in N. GA, and most of these areas are within my "reasonable distance" for short weekend trips or whatever. I'd love to do some meetups over here.

    A Simple Jeep XJ Overland Build

    So this thread will document the progression of my 1999 Jeep XJ – ideas, modification, and general thoughts. I suppose some backstory would be appropriate here. I purchased the Jeep in early 2010, with 130k on it. Here it was when I got it. I paid $3,500 (you'll find I'm fairly cheap and like...
