I figured for that price if they suck, I'm not out much. But they have held up well for 4 years. I used a small amount of blue thread lock cause I foud over time the clamp loosens with vibration.

Thanks! Its been a great rig. Its going to our daughter now. I got a gladiator. But the WJ is staying in the family.

04 WJ, has been all over the country from east to west. Did awesome. It has the v8 with enough power for a trailer in the Rockies and Appalachians

If you have a smart phone, my wife and I use an APP called PDF maps. Its free for both I-phone and Android. Look for national forests along your route by going to this web site: http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/ohv/ohv_maps.shtml . You can search Motor Vehicle Usage Maps (MVUM) for...

Thank you Gene! You, McGregor and Boorman are getting me lots of furrowed brows and eye rolls from my wife as she looks over my shoulder at my computer and sees for sale ads on BMW GS's. Also, It's my belief that the best way to honor a loved one is to tell their story. By you sharing Neda's...

Day 7 YES, I'm going to finnish this trip report if it takes all year. And they way things are going it just might. "Down time" is in short supply it seems. Sorry all. The end of day 6 left us at an Applebee's in Sault St. Marie. We hung out there for a long time. When it was time to leave...

I'll add another 2002 WRX. It's mostly stock with the only real after market part being an all aluminum radiator. Playing around with HDR. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I did kinda like tis pic for some reason.

Your pics are great! and I love your jeep. It's what I wanted mine to be like before I got rid of it. looks really clean as in not the standard rusted rockers and wheel wells you see here in MN. I'm a bit jealous of where you guys went, looks like it was fun. For sure going to have to get back...

Day 6 Day 6. After the usual routine, We left camp and headed out. You cant be in the area and NOT stop in at ROAM. So, we headed down to Wetmore. I wanted a hat and the Mrs. wanted to see Forward Frank (ok, I did too). We showed up and interrupted TJtoytech from his job and awkwardly did that...

From Christmas we went to Munising and made our way up along Pictured Rocks. All I can say is WOW! That area is amazing. Every place we went was just unreal. If we ever move to Michigan the Pictured Rocks area is where I want to live. If it has to be in a van down by the river... so be it. We...

Day 5 Day 5 We woke up and checked out of our camp site. The temp was warming up already by the time we got all packed up. We wanted to check out the city of Marquette and some of the sites along the lake. The day turned out to be awesome.The clouds broke, the sun came out and it was going to...

We loved that area a lot. Its a bummer to hear that Mandan Rd has become what it is. But on the flip side.. I can see it being a blast with the right equipment. I think I may have pressed on if I had different tires. The washouts I was fine with. if you pick the right line or stack logs you can...

Day 4.5 Day 4.5 After Mandan Road we wanted to go to Gay Beach. After I pouted for a bit about being back on tarmac, we headed down 41 to Lac La Belle Rd. We followed that to the Town of Gay. The drive was still a good drive (for tarmac ;) ) We came across this ski place, I thought it was...

Day 4- Something felt different as I was laying there in the tent starting to wake up. The red and gray world in the tent felt.. brighter, As the fog of sleep wore off I could make out shadows on the top of the tent. The shadows were tree branches dancing in a light breeze. "Shadows?" I...

Day 3 Day 3 We woke up after a night of weathering some pretty good rain and were in for another cloudy wet day. I'm glad I sprayed on 3 layers of camp dry stuff on the tent and rain fly. Although I'm thinking I need to add more on the walls... They were a bit damp on the inside. But otherwise...
