This looks nice , but why is the black one so much more expensive? Is it gold plated and then powder coated black, or is this an error?

That's a crock So if this is the case why are there a gazillion YJ's and XJs still on the road, 20 years old and older many with well over 200k miles? I've owned 4 Toyotas and two Jeeps, and yes to be honest if I had unlimited funds and was building an expo rig for world travel I'd likely...

I opted for the Willys Wheeler I really couldn't afford to get the Rubicon unless I'd bought a used one with the anemic 3.8L engine. Then who knows where it's been and what's been done to it. I got the Willy's Wheeler about 2 months ago and I'm very pleased. I did a fairly tough local trail...

I agree this is a great bag even better at 50% off as I got mine for. I had a warranty issue on a very old Kelty product no longer made, since they couldn't replace the item, they gave me a great coupon and I was able to buy a couple nice items at half price. Kelty was a great company and...

Looking forward to Colorado Water is pretty low so I'm mostly leaving the trout alone to hopefully survive this summer here in SoCal. I did get a quick trip in to the Kern River in the Southern Sierras in early July. I'm really looking forward to a guys trip with three buddies in late Sept &...

Here's my large box......still sort of small This is the box I have just completed, the pictures are when near complete. After this I added, pegs in the right side door to hang utensils and for little bungees to mostly hold and silence the utensils. I may make some little boxes to hold smaller...

Doing pretty well with lift and mud terrains My new 2014 JKU just got 19.1mpg from Eastern LA County, in So Cal up to the Southern Sierras and back. I didn't get to high elevation but went up and down to about 4500 feet 2 or three times. I was fully loaded and kept the speed to about 70mph...

Disco night with the boys So last night was enlightening. My son and another high schooler and I installed my JKS sway bar disconnects. It was easy enough once we got the correct tools sorted out, a combination of metric and standard was needed. REALLY Jeep!? I guess that explains why some...

I got lucky I was initially looking at the 2 door but since I was replacing both my GMC Sierra 4x4 with a shell and huge storage and my YJ, the Unlimited checked the essential boxes of room for 4-5 adults, reasonable gear capacity and 4WD. When I decided the 2 door wrangler would meet that, I...

This picture makes me look like a moron Seriously.... I didn't put that big rock down the middle of my Jeep. This rock that looks poised to take out my front differential didn't, because from the uphill side it didn't look like this. This was at Cleghorn 2 weekends ago. The day after...

So with 2000 miles on the JK and about six weeks, I can catch up a bit and share what I've done to the Jeep and where I've taken it to date. I sold my YJ a couple weeks after buying the JK. My wife had designs on much of the proceeds, but I managed to save out enough for a lift and some...

So my intent is a modest expedition build. I know a lot of the high dollar, super nice rigs started out that way so we shall see what happen over the next few years. I started with the Willy's Wheeler JK Unlimited, because it already had some of the stuff I would have added right away if I had...

The wife's former rig 2010 Outback This was my wife's rig and our family trip car for several years. The resale was so high we sold it to pay off some bills and leased a 2014 Forester resulting in a net monthly savings of over $100, plus a bit better mileage. The Outback was great and was our...

Differential skids and lighting upgrades So in the last couple weeks I tried four DIY upgrades and was twice foiled by defective or incorrect parts from 4WheelParts. The Putco LED interior lighting kit worked until I tried to turn on one side of the front dome like a map light, that made all...

What's the true market?

Nice XJ, a great start for an Expo rig Singlespeed 92, That looks great did you use plasti-dip or some other black paint for the black parts? I used plasti-dip for the mirrors on my YJ as a test and it held up and looked great for a year. I've sold it now, but it's amazing what fixing up some...

My JK got lifted last Friday After much research I installed an AEV DualSport 2.5" lift on my JK Unlimited last Friday. Since I haven't put a lot of weight in the form of bumpers and winches, etc. I got probably 3"-3.5" out of it. As promised the handling is dramatically better. I'm very...

I got my first 20 scratches Well my new JK Unlimited Willy's Wheeler is 10 days old. I just took it off-road for the second time, this time I was on some pretty rough trails. I got my first application of Arizona pin striping from some California mountain manzanita. I was only a matter of...

I'll have to get a build thread going on my GMC. I have one going for my Jeep on Jeepforums, if you care about Jeeps. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f22/4xcampers-95-yj-1585761/ frankly I can barely afford to build up one vehicle at a time. The Jeep is almost as done as it will be for a...
