    TJ BRUTE Buildout

    Looks great. I managed to get one of the last kits. Mine went on an 04 Rubicon. I swapped in a 6.0 LS2 out of a wrecked G8. I also used the 6L80E transmission from the same car. After the initial trial and error phase it's dialed in and is a good combination. I drove from Kansas to Moab...

    Any chance there's a FWC Sparrow out there?

    I'd be interested in talking with you if you happen to have a Sparrow you might want to sell. Thank you.

    2010 Jumping Jack Trailer

    I will volunteer for free transport from Rockford to central Kansas. Working in Illinois about an hour from Rockford and living in Kansas. Make the trip approximately every other week. If you two can work out the deal, and if getting it to Kansas helps you, I'd do that as long as your patient.

    Moby1 XTR For Sale

    Moby1 XTR For Sale

    What size tires? What bolt pattern on the hubs? Do you know what the weight of the trailer is as it sits with everything on it? Did your trailer have any leaking issues? Any water damage? Thanks

    Ideas, suggestions, do/dont's for an overlanding TJ

    Yeah, I had the same thoughts. Maybe lowering it and 33's is an option. I will say that while it was still a TJ, the 6" lift and 35's was a handful. Converting it to a Brute and extending the wheelbase helped ALOT. In my opinion, it rides and drives better now than it ever did as a stock TJ...

    Roam About with "Big Hank"

    I've thoroughly enjoyed following along with your adventures. Honestly it kinda kicked me in the butt to start planning my own. Thanks for all the pictures and stories, what a great country out there waiting to be explored. BTW it looks like we live right along your route on I70 in kansas...
