    Anyone running a UJoint roof rack?

    I have the UJOR corners and rack mounts. Used my own rails. They work great!

    UJOR Build Thread

    Went to the dump and the box truck almost finished out, is just under 7k. I'm thinking finished in the 8k range, full of water / gear. Is that still light enough for the 5.4 progressive springs?

    Holley Sniper EFI is on the way. New tank installed that will have to come back out for the EFI setup lol.. Installed new tail lights, front turn signals, and side amber lights: New tires: I'm fighting with tuning, and I think I have a stuck lifter. I pulled the valve cover and all...

    Jaleo 2- Building a 2012 E-350 4x4-Third time is the charm

    Yellowstone was busy? I went the week before Thanksgiving and there were maybe 2-3 other people camping there. Yellowstone is nice, but you're right, the Tetons are better. The Badlands was the coolest. Devil's Tower is up there too.

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    I've been looking for one. I might order the MR 252 Manual. I ordered new tail lights. front turn signals, sending unit, and gas tank. I pulled the tank, which was new before it sat for 10 years. But now, the bottom was covered in rust. Sending unit is a good example what was in the tank...

    The wheels are too far gone. Will be adding new Cragar Nomad wheels ( the OEM Wheels), and BFG KO2's 235/75R15.

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    Thanks! I don't plan on getting too crazy. I just wanna drive it. Nice Jeep! I am keeping everything I can. And try to make it OEM looking as possible. My father in law had a guy install a new engine. And a new gas tank. As I'm working on this thing, I'm finding a lot of shortcuts that were...

    Got the Jeep home. Even tho it will be dragged back to Louisiana in a couple months. We bought a house there. 3 of 4 walls are in. Installed the on demand hot water heater and bought the water tanks. The propane line from the back wall mount to inside the cabin. The back wall is...

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    "Hopefully" make it look like this: Ever since I met my then future father in law, I have been wearing him down about this Jeep. Everyone is excited to see what I'm gonna do with it. They are the best! Cheaper than a truck, and I'm converting it to a RV. Thanks! They put in a new engine...

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    After a year, I finally brought the Jeep home. Even tho it's from my father in law, it's basically a "barn find". I am the second owner. The only thing that has been done is it has a new hood after a accident about 20 years ago. It's in ok shape. Good bones. Zero rust. Parked at the...

    I haven't been doing much due to the holidays, but I managed to squeeze a few days worth in. Ceiling insulated and taped up: PNW Cedar ceiling: Framed in the shower / bathroom. Below the mini-split is the fridge, and a sink will go there as well. I'll save the shower for last. Next up...

    2013 Chevy Express 3500 10' Cutaway Build

    I think when you replace the o2 sensor you should go ahead and add twin turbos. Just a thought. Love the build. I wish I would have went Chevy instead of Ford just because how easy it is to add horsepower. 4wd conversion ends up being about the same price too.

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    I was really tired of looking at the 2 tone walls of the box truck. You could still see where the original FedEx decals were. Not real excited about the amount of labor involved, but 2 days of buffing, and I'm finished with one side. Before: After:
