I'd like to see a heavy duty, off road capable jeep, ala Rubicon running gear, mated to a stripped, bare bones interior/exterior. Do away with all the darn plastic. curvy junk and give me a JEEP. Why the Rubi packages include all the bells and whistles instead of just items that make it a more...

Had a great time yesterday at the new Big Creek trails owned and operated by Uwharrie Offroad Training Center. Scott Fields has put together a nice business training people (from newbies to Special Forces) how to drive off road. If you visit Eldorado Outpost on the way to the Uwharrie Nt'l...

This may not be it, but worth checking out. Pull your console and see if, with your modifications, the 4wd engagement lever is free to move where it needs to in order to fully engage. There is a gold in color metal piece that guides the lever, has kind of a "z" shaped slot that holds the lever...

More snow fun this week... makes for a long work week, but had some time yesterday to get home before dark... The sled ride The monster... literally The compound Is there a house there? Making for a long week at work, but was lucky enough to steal a few minutes yesterday afternoon.

Wow.:bowdown: That is some shooting.

Right about that. We enjoy squirrel on a regular basis, mostly in stews. My wife's favorite is our Henry lever action 22 with a cheapo scope... where we live she can walk out the kitchen door and bang off enough squirrels for a good stew... good times and as you note, great practice.

Awesome. Living it. Great truck/camper. John

We had head gasket go on my wife's 2002 Subaru. Had a local mechanic do it for about $680... look around cause we had quotes from other mechanics for twice that. So it is not the end of the world... I know heartbreaking, but you can recover and still have a great vehicle. john

Our other activity today (non expo related) was to head to Raleigh to watch our older son play Rugby for UNCW. They beat NC State. He is a freshman and getting good playing time on the A squad... Seems like he took his wrestling and his football days and just mashed them into one sport :)...

Installed new tie rod this morning. I went with this upgrade. I have heard good things about Jody Treadway and his work, here in NC, so went with this set up. Included upgraded rod ends also. http://www.nc4x4.com/forum/index.php?threads/zj-xj-mj-and-tj-tie-rod-upgrade.139608/ Install was...

I have run a warn hs9500, a mile marker 10k and on my current jeep have an old Superwinch S9000. The warn sits on my son's jeep now, the Milemarker was sold with the LR it was on. The warn has survived year after year. I bought it used in 2004 and it took us through many adventures. I had it...

I often comment on here that I use the jeep for other things around the farm. today was absolutely beautiful in NC. Sunny, warm and we got a lot done outside. I am almost finished with our livestock fence, got all posts in today and have about 1/3 of the fence itself left to go. Also tackled...

This has me laughing this morning:) Nice LJ and nice pic with the kiddos in the woods (where all kids should be). John

You and I are of the same mind and experience on this one. I will update my thread once I get the new tie rod in and mounted. Thanks for the advice. John

Are you doing anything with the drag link? Reason I ask is that I too am upgrading the tie rod and wondering if there might be a way to sleeve (or something) the draglink and call it done? Thanks, John

Just sold my old shocks. took that $ and just sent money for this: http://www.nc4x4.com/forum/index.php?threads/zj-xj-mj-and-tj-tie-rod-upgrade.139608/ First step to upgraded steering. I looked at the ZJ steering as described earlier in several posts and all in all thought this would be the...

Grill turned out excellent! Nice work. Really stands out nice on the silver.

Got the uppers mounted today. Went according to plan, although my Skid Row engine skid plate caused a few more skinned knuckles than usual. Of course I could have removed it... but no... I was down with the struggle and have the scars to prove it:) Test drive went great. More of the same...

Nice! Could you get into the back of the jeep without removing it? I am looking at building something similar for my son's jeep...
