Nothing new on the project other than occasional use around town. This past weekend the trailer was attached and the whole rig was put into a parade. We had a good time. Plans to hit the dirt is coming up in a couple weeks. Heading into the Gypsum hills of southern Kansas for a haunted tour...

I took a little trip to Nebraska this weekend... in the Subaru. The ride up was gorgeous, the ride home was rainy. And as much as a whirlwind trip as it was, i successfully avoided the interstate and had a great (short) visit. Kansas sunrise by Tim, on Flickr Street side.. by Tim, on...

Cool!! Got pix?

Always keeping an eye out for great rigs, we happened to pass this beautiful setup in Pawhuska Oklahoma over the weekend. 20180811_194834 by Tim, on Flickr

Spent a couple hours on Saturday fixing every odd noise the jeep makes by installing a new stereo and speakers. 20180812_153052 by Tim, on Flickr it sounds so much better than the stock stereo with blown speakers, but now I need to address the failing headliner. Thinking of pulling the board...

Go figure, I rush to get the trailer usable for the weekend (no pix) Sit all day in a car show... (no pix) And spend the evening camping (one pic) 20180804_203138 by Tim, on Flickr It towed wonderfully, and I've got a list of things that need improvement, or finished. The jeep performed quite...

I knocked some of the webs off the trailer project over the last few days. My trailer, Scrappy (named after being built primarily out of scraps), is based off a Tractor Supply 4x6 tilt utility trailer. I did a spring over swap, added wheel adapters to run 5x5.5 rims (to match my previously...

Hey Smileyshaun, are those Toyota axles?

Took it for a joy ride over lunch. BD

The 3" lift netted something closer to 4. I don't know for sure because I didn't measure before and after. Regardless, the lift created some severe drive line angles that needed to be addressed. If it were a matter of the shaft slipping off the output, i would have left it alone. Especially...

Very nice! What are your plans?

Taking advantage of a sunny evening with nothing planned, i was able to extend the front sway bar links. 20180524_173855 by Tim, on Flickr Recycling parts left over from my CJ, I cut the links and added some heavy duty tubing, welded it up and made it shine. IMG_20180524_192927_590 by Tim, on...

Lifted it! 20180520_171815 by Tim, on Flickr

Nice looking setup! A couple friends and I got together yesterday to install the Zone Off Road 3" lift, now that all the parts had shown up. Amazingly there were one 2 broken bolts... one on each of the upper back shock mounts. 20180520_145550 by Tim, on Flickr "Cheater" lift in the back...

Thanks. Nice! Got pix of your rig? I'm still debating on the drawer system. Not sure I want to add a bunch of weight in the name of organization, and compromise it's capacity. Internal debate... it goes on. The lift kit arrived today! The box was ripped, but everything was in it. Good...

So... after a parts conundrum, the lift should be going on this weekend. Last weekend after a crazy work week, I finally got time to install the lift. Popped the boxes open only to discover the leaf springs never made it here. Email after email bounced back and forth, and finally the...

I am a very lucky man! My lovely wife of 26 amazing years is supporting (enabling) me in my jeep addiction. My new lift will be arriving this week! Pix will happen when I get a chance to install it! It's good to be loved (enabled)! ;)

For the last 9 years my club has been putting on a food drive for local churches and organizations who serve the homeless of our community, called the Flex 4 Food. Basically we break out a RTI ramp and run people's rigs up. Food is provided by When Pigs Fly BBQ and we all hang out and have a...

I can't help much with the fitment... But I can give some advice on things to look for. 1999 seems to be the best year. Last year of the ignition using single coil w/ distributor rather than coil packs. Front axle is still high pinion non central axle disconnect. Stay clear of the NP242...
