    Wow! That pic really shows how much the Jeeps have grown over the years! I knew that the JK's were the largest yet, but wow! That really puts in perspective. Great to see you using your flattie! Casey

    The Pack hauler, formerly Big Girl.

    Nice Rig! A few years ago I purchased a '93 ZJ with the 5.2L for only $175! It had 295K miles, and didn't run due to a bad fuel pump. I replaced the fuel pump and she ran pretty good! I lifted it 4.5" and put on 33" Super Swampers: Made a great trail rig, but was too worn out to be good...

    Frameless top

    Thank you sir. The weather is cooling down, so I'll be putting the hard top back on soon. I'll be thinking and saving up over the winter for a new spring time top, I'm sure! Casey

    Frameless top

    How long would you say it would take to install and then remove? I currently have a hard top and a safari top, no soft top. I've been wanting to get a soft top of some sort so that I can drive the Jeep more often in uncertain weather (with the top off, it usually stays parked inside if the...

    Daystar Spare Tire Fuel/Water Cans

    I was excited about the fuel cans, but couldn't figure out why nobody had any in stock until I finally came across this: http://www.daystarweb.com/news/red_fuel_cans.html Casey

    Aux gas cans - TJ

    What is everyone doing to haul around extra gasoline on their TJ's? I love that my Chevy Tahoe has a 30 gallon fuel tank to carry around my diesel fuel... I like being able to go out for days at a time and not worry about fuel levels when everyone else with me needs to stop for gas. However, I...

    2005 Rubicon LJ

    I put the RC 2.5" kit (plus their .75" spacers) on my '97 TJ over three years ago. I've been really happy with the springs. I was not happy with their Performance 2.2 shocks. I got their first generation shocks, and they were way too stiff. They have since updated the shock valving, and I...

    Camper shell lights???

    When I used to have my pickup, I had a 5th wheel trailer that I would tow occasionally, as well as a camper shell. Since I had a recessed 7-way trailer light plug in the side of my bed, I made a male 7-way plug that came off the camper shell and plugged into the 'charge line' of the camper...

    We just went back to Devil's Den this past Saturday (Feb 18)! Here's some pics from that trip: Let me know when you head back this direction! Especially when you hit the Mark Twain trails. I've only been once, and I have a hard time finding anybody around here willing to show me...

    My 97 TJ My 97 TJ: 2.5L :eek: 5 speed, 4.10 gears, 31x10.50 Wild Country MT's, 3.25" lift, front locker. More of a toy right now. An underpowered toy! Here I am trying a little mud puddle near Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas: Going for a swim: Climbing some rocks at...

    What should I offer for this Suburban?

    I would doubt the 35K mile claim. The odometers in those particular trucks only had 5 digits, so it would roll over after 100K and start over at zero again. I had an '81 that I watched roll over a couple of times! That being said, the 6.2L diesel engine is actually a pretty reliable platform...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    The later 6.5L's use a cap in the valley that still drives the oil pump, but allows you to remove the vacuum pump. I deleted the belt-driven vacuum pump off my 6.5L as well. As has been stated, if you don't need vacuum for the transmission or HVAC controls, then you can ditch the pump. My...
