Sweet. Build thread or info? Just sounds great, regardless of SHTF. My simple 18hp diesel in my little farm tractor is just as simple as you describe. rock solid durable and reliable. Love to hear more about your conversion.

My wife and I are considering moving from our pop up into something like this. She asked where do you sleep? and how many will it sleep? Can you post additional pictures to help show her? Thanks! John

I put on my first synthetic last fall. I have done one serious recovery with it and a bunch of work on the property, namely skidding logs, helping take trees down in a controlled manner, etc... It is SO much easier to use. Talk about safety, weight, etc... all you want...what I have found is...

Jeep to the rescue once again... On Friday evening I got a call from my wife... who rarely gets riled up... and in the very short yet severe storm at about 6pm we lost 6 trees near the house. We live beside a creek and as that water got flowing, plus the wind, plus the shallow roots of the...

I have experience with Warn HS9500, Superwinch s9000 and Milemarker. The Milemarker I had limited experience with. Owned for a short time. Did some pulls but nothing strenuous. Seemed solid although slow. Does not matter much to me anyway. The Superwinch is a solid winch. Also fairly...

Cool to have you chime in Ian. I love your show. It si not that I can afford to build or have the skills to build what you guys do... but ain't that the point? If I wanted to watch what I can do... well, I guess I'd be up in my barn building it... ;-) What I like is seeing the crazy stuff...

Nicely done. Care to share specks on lift/armor, etc?

They are fixed. I would think however, that you could bend some flat aluminum (?) strips at an appropriate angle and blot them in place on the sides of your scrambler. John

So I chopped it up a bit but I agree with Jeep Dreamer 100% BAck in the day when Humvees replaced the jeep, I worked for a stint with 2d marine division schools. Always got a laugh barreling down the sand trails of camp lejuene in my AWESOME Dodge Omni... packed to the gills with MRE's fro...

Great info here. Thanks for posting the measurements. John

Sucks. Is it just a matter of replacing the ujoint? Hard to tell from the pics.

Check with Haggis's LJ thread, he has done a great platform. You could consider a stretch on the LJ, such as the one from Genright and push the front out a couple inches and the rear out 3 or so and be pretty darn close to your 110 desired wheelbase. I love this concept and will be watching to...

Tell us about these rims. They look like stock steel cherokee rims that have been painted to match. If so are you using wheel spacers? Looks great. John

Your rigs look great! If we were sitting around the campfire right now, my wife Ann would be cussing you guys out :-) Silvanus, are those jeep steel rims painted to match your jeep? If so did you use wheel spacers, such as spidertrax? I definitely like the 33x10.50 size and had them on my...

Blast you Jack! That looks good. Do you not get any rubbing with the 2" lift?

OK, so need some help... perhaps wisdom... Went to the URE opening day this weekend. I have been going to URE for 20 years or so. I can do pretty much anything there with no issues in this jeep. Locked, armored and on 31's make for an easy driving rig and let's face it... i am not hitting...

Ditto and well said. Be careful. Be aware. Help when you can/should. Consider safety and worst possible circumstance if you choose to stop.

Just noticed I don't have a pic of our pop up deployed but here is a pic from a trip this past summer: It is a Rockwood 1640ltd. empty weight 1200#. It is very basic, no frills, no stove no sink, etc... basically a place to sleep and a table to sit at. Would love to modify it someday for...

Welcome James! Congrats on an excelletn idea and for bringing it to market. I have shown this to my son for his 2000 TJ and he is considering it for part of his HS graduation gift. I will let you know. John

WELCOME HOME! :wings: and thanks for serving! One question. What paint did you use on your XJ wheels? One comment... Uwharrie National Forest is only about 5 hours away, so when you are ready to head down here let me know. I am 30 minutes from the trails. John
