I was under my 99 WJ today looking at the shocks to get an idea of the needed tools and noticed the the passenger side rocker panel is rusting out badly. I know when I had my ZJ it was recommended to cut the rockers out and add some 4X4 square steel in their place. Is this something that can...

try to get the rust under control now if you can. I just started trying to clean the one I got from the junkyard. All I have to use is a grinder with a wire wheel. Spent like and hour or two and have maybe a third of the inside of the skid clean. Once I get it all cleaned up I am going to...

Well since I got no reply I figured I would add what I found out in case anyone else needs the info. I also posted this on another forum and found out the the WJ gas tank skid actually holds the gas tank in place. So I went to the junk yard and got a new one. I just ned to clean it up then I...

So the skid plate on my 1999 Grand Cherokee is rusting out badly. From what I can tell in the Hayes manual the gas tank is held up by the skid plate. Does anyone have any experience with this? I know enough has rusted out that I can get a jack directly on the gas tank. It looks like it still...

Thanks guys atleast I have a starting point now.

I live on the Iowa Illinois boarder along the Mississippi River and our search and rescue crews seem to short handed. I have inquired before about if they except volunteers and was told no. What I want to know is whats the best way for someone wanting to get versed in SAR to possibly start a...

The wife and I are looking at getting rid of her grand cherokee that seems to be falling apart piece by piece. We are very interested in getting a subbie for the MPG and offroad ability. My question is outback or forester? It will be daily driven, taken camping,canoe trips, fishing etc... We...

Hopefully I get a little more help here than in the photo/video forem. I am headed to the Boundary Waters this summer and want to take a video camera to record the trip. I was thinking about getting a Go Pro Hero 2 HD outdoor but thought I'd see if anyone had a better suggestion. I am not...

Hey guys I am headed to the Boundary Waters this summer and wanted to take a video camera to record the trip. I was thinking about getting a Go Pro Hero 2 HD outdoor but thought I'd see if anyone had a better suggestion. I am not wanting to spend more than about $300-350 on it and would love...

Yea the good old Iowa rust claimed my gas tank skid the other day. Wife leaves for work and there is a big piece3 of it laying in her parking space. So I am going to get a replacement and see about getting some others as well them coat them all with bed lining right away to hopefully slow the...

Yea I was thinking about just doing a mild say 2" lift or so using new springs. I figure the stockers are probably sagging anyways. I have seen OME kits, BDS has a 2" kit with springs and shocks or again the Iron Rock 3" kit. I know OME makes some of the best stuff out there, the BDS has a...

See we thought posting here would give us suggestions based on what works not what looks cool. All the info I have seen here is about making a vehicle solid and reliable for long trips offroad. That why I asked. I was looking at a couple good kits and wanted to good information. It was...

We take a lot of trips and enjoy camping so the lift will help get to more backwoods camping spots.

My 1999 Grand Cherokee was just paid off and my wife wants to lift it some. The biggest stipulation is it has to ride as good as stock or better. She does not want a rough ride at all. It is her everyday driver and will not see anything really crazy, only mild trails. I was looking at the...

Thanks for the info. I will look at Paddling.net and look into some places in Chicago that I may be able to get a lesson or two. Either way I guess i didn't realize it should be so easy to pick up on. Thanks again

I was thinking about a canoe but keep reading and being told to take a lesson to learn the basic strokes to control the canoe. So far all I can find are kayaking classes so I figured I would ask. I have been looking at 17-19ft canoes for the long trips. I know I am in flat corn field land :)...

I have very little experience in a canoe, most of it was when I was like 6 and once or twice since. We both like the challenge of learning a new sport and are more than willing to get lessons in either, if we can find them. We both enjoy hiking and backpacking and want to experience all nature...

My wife and I are wanting to get into either canoeing or kayaking. We want to take multiple night trips and maybe even take a week up to the BWCA. My question is would it be better to get a canoe or would two kayaks be a better choice?

That sucks that ARB is selling bumpers like that. I was thinking about getting on for my Tahoe but now I think I am going to have to go a different route. It's just too bad they felt they had to sell them that way. I hope you can get it worked out. Your truck is lookin good though.

I have the Cabelas Deluxe Kitchen, though it is nice it is big and rather heavy.
