A week ago I went to move the Jeep off the street for trash day. The battery was dead, so I went to pop the hood to jump it and the hood release handle came off in my hand. A pair of vice grips on the release cable, a lot of pounding, and nothing worked. Then I finally got it open and found out...

Is that a Rally Fighter? Looks like it was a great trip!

I'm assuming you already had the Canon glass and that's why you got the adaptor for the Sony? How did it work out for you?

Drove it to work! The BMW has a bad tire and I'm waiting on a set of new tires. So, the Jeep finally got driven more than just moving it out of the way. I forgot what an uncivilized beast it is. It also helps that the front left speaker no longer works. Something is going on in the driver's door...

You're insane, dude. I'm going to keep watching just to see how insane you get ;) In all seriousness, as soon as I saw you were doing this on the Book of Face, I got a bit jealous that you have the balls to actually do it and a wife who is all in as well. It'll be an amazing adventure for you...

Wiper blades are designed for no more than 1 year before the rubber starts to break down. It's not so much they are designed to only last 1 year, but the rubber compounds usually used to keep it pliable in the cold mean it breaks down relatively quick, as well. Plus, if you live where there's...

Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche, XJ...One of these is more awesome than the others. That front bumper looks similar to my Rough Country front bumper.

Very cool shot. I almost want that hanging in my office.

After driving it with the dog to get coffee, I decided to give the inside a thorough vacuuming. It really needs a good wipe down, too. It's better than it was, though. My parents are coming to visit for a couple weeks to spend time with the baby and my dad is insistent on using the Jeep even...

Me too. You have a built in moat! The city keeps denying my permit application for a moat.

I didn't know about it until just now. How rad! We're hitting the Keweenau this summer on our camping trip, so I'll be sure to put this as a must see site! Maybe bring an Estes rocket to set off from there.

What a great thread. It's giving me plenty of ideas of places to explore. Here are a few I took several years ago. I was working at Kennedy Space Center and one of the guys took me on a sort of "behind the scenes" tour to places the general public may not even know exist. Launch Complex 34 -...

Thanks for sharing your adventure! I just read through the posts and now I want to make my own TAT adventure. Maybe when the baby is old enough to appreciate it...

Where did you order them from?

Picked up the XJ from the shop after getting some maintenance work done. (That's what I did.) There was a Saab 96 (I'm guessing 1965ish) sitting in the lot. I began thinking of all the adventures this thing must have seen in its life. Saab 96 (1965ish) by engineerd, on Flickr

I have your Jeep's twin, though mine has grown up a bit differently. On the home stretch by engineerd, on Flickr

Have you looked at Michigan's UP? Lots of trails/forest roads to explore. Check out UP Overland (http://upoverland.org/).

Great looking XJ! I love seeing a well-built Cherokee.

Thanks for the feedback. I have looked around NAXJA and Jeep Forum a bit, and I know RAM makes a floor mount for the Cherokee which uses the passenger seat mounting bolts. The problem I see with a lot of those solutions is a) it affects my passenger/navigator and b) they seem to take up a lot of...
