Nice welding and thanks for the explanation re: departure angle. Beauty of the jeep IMO is that you can build as YOU need. Nice.

Son sold his 2000 TJ today. Sad to see it go but best decision for him, as I let him keep whatever he could sell it for. He is happy and has our 2002 banged up Subaru Forester to drive until he is out on his own. Can't help feeling like an era has passed. He is a good kid and I am hoping...

:beer: Best comment on the thread!

A few small changes to the jeep. Turns out my son is selling his 2000 TJ. Decent jeep with ARB's front and rear. When I gave it to him a few years back, he also got my excellent Warn HS9500. It is in need of repair, but I will get to that.... and the winch is now back in my hands. It also...

Looks great so far.

I have been chasing a significant squeak, grinding noise from the front end when turning left, particularly at parking lot speeds. I had settled on the steering box going bad, but a friend on another forum pinted to the track bar frame side attachment. I shot an email out to Metal Cloak since...

Nice

Nice find and great post by Robert. I am finally getting started on my own Bantam build and this topic came up just at the right time.

Looks like an awesome trip and an even better way to pay for it! Well done.

The half doors on the back and running with the hard top off like htat is one of the best looking simple mods I have seen. I can honestly say that as far as looks go and "real world" use, you are making a strong case for the JKU and a mild build. Nice work. John

Just a quick note that I have put the Engo 9000 winch (newly purchased) to work around the farm in the last several weeks. It is noisy and a bit slow, but doing well so far. The controller is a POS, so I spliced in a Superwinch controller I had from the last winch. Works like a charm. Only...

Knot Knormal - congrats on helping your son like this. I have a fair amount of left over stock parts from over the years. Make a list of what you'd like for him to have along on his trip and I'll dig and see what I can help with. I am only about an hour or less south of you, so logistics...

I have not boiled it down yet, but from what I am reading as I research it looks like most are going with a 3500# axle in teh appropriate width for their trailer. Not sure that I need the 3500#, since the trailer only weighs about 500# unloaded, but better to go heavier I suppose. Just a bit...

How is the dexter working out for you? Are they considered a quality name? I see them advertised and can get what I need for a reasonable price is why I am asking.

I am at the very start of a trailer build/rebuild/restomod kind of thing with my Bantam TC3. I would like to pull the axle and mount an axle that has matching lug pattern to my 2005 LJ. I have read bad reviews on the axles I can pick up semi locally, from Northern Tool and Tractor Supply -...

Beautiful work. What material do you plan to use for the pop up portion? Also, having built several plywood skiffs (essentially your camper is an upside down boat :)) I suggest taping the seams with at least 3" fiberglass tape and using a thickened epoxy as the glue... tape both side of every...

Beautiful. Congrats on the move and pending wedding.

Hard to beat the look of the ARB. Nice work.
