Way cool. That sure would be fun to go to. Wonder how many Jeeps you could fit in a shipping container?

Looks nice. That rig will go quick because of what and where it is.

Actually I believe Admiral Yamamoto of WWII fame came to the conclusion (long before any bloggers did) that any Japanese invasion of the US mainland would be facing serious resistance from the civilian population who was well armed with hunting rifles. I think he said "there would be a rifle...

Military has been using that idea for years. When I was in the service in the 90's I trained to recover Hummvees using that concept. My late 60's Jeep M-715's are equipped to do the same. I think I have seen some military Land Rovers that were set up for it too.

Oh why did you have to go there. Totally uncalled for. Have bad mental pictures now.:Wow1:

Go for it.

You going to be able to get the Cummins in the right RPM range with those axles? And still run some sensible tires? I will have to take a closer look at your build on IFSJA site.

Looks good. I was going to say it looks like an Airporter expect its missing a few doors.

I remember watching this rig come up on GL and drooling over it.:drool: Nice to see its going to a home where I can watch it get built.

If it(Dana 35) ain't broke don't fix it. But if it is broke or breaking then go for the 8.25 rearend. Especially if you plan on loading the Jeep down and towing at the same time. The 35 was marginal at best but you work them much and they go breaky.

After eyeballing that camper again I found something I don't like about it. Its not in its natural habitat, need some pictures of it roaming free in the wide open range.:elkgrin: That has to be one of the sexiest pop up/fullsize truck campers I have seen, ever.

WOW!! Me likey:drool:

You are 110% right on it being cheaper to fix the problems now rather than on the road somewhere in BFE.

You picked the right things to have your mechanic do. Oil pan is messy and much easier done on a lift, if you don't have a garage to do the oil pan in then you really made the right decision. The lock cylinder takes a few special tools and techniques, probably not something a beginner would...

I currently own a 96 K3500 with a 6.5 and manual trans and owned a 93 with a 6.5 and auto trans. You put much of a load on them and they are gutless going up hills. They go, just not fast. I think the first gen Dodge Cummins gets better mileage and has more power but the entry price is more...

I am partial to the NW-OR, WA, ID. I really like CDA in the ID panhandle. But there is lots of pretty country to choose from up there.

You know the saying about the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. Tell the wife to get a second job to support your "habit". Now here is the required warning to go along with this suggestion. It may lead to you sleeping on the couch or in the doghouse. Could lead to...

Wow that thing would look good parked in my driveway. Come on lottery ticket.

Supercab is the way to go, lots less work and it will look more finished without lots of body work. You can just shorten the stock bed or put your own custom flatbed on it.

I have installed a few Jasper engines, trans, and t-cases. Only had a problem with one of their engines and they took care of it, no problem. One of the best companies to deal with on waranty issues. I would't hesitate to use them again at all.
