    Jeepagon 3.0

    Its been a hot minute since I have posted. Fall/ winter graced us with the birth of our first kiddo and working on adopting siblings internationally during covid has been a sleep deprived emotional roller coaster to say the least. I ran the propane lines for the furnace that we are using...

    219k miles? Even with a new motor that's setting a little long in the tooth! $6k on my neck of the woods gets a really nice Dubya Jay

    Jeepagon 3.0

    Been slacking on updates........ Raptor lined the jeep! (Yes I oversprayed all over the windshield, already peppered it with weld boogers too) Rejuvenated the faded black plastic bits, burned on some brush gaurd bars from dirtbound offroad. Now I need to wrap up mounting the top and show...

    Need ideas for rebuild

    Nice Resurrection of an old trailer! Just the right size to be multi -purpose. FYI , Having run into rims that look like yours if you run into some weird tire wobbling issues check that the rims spin true. Those specific rims are for agricultural applications (the square holes in the rims are...

    1999 jeep cherokee 4x4

    Looks a lot like my Cherokee! Mine was a City rig as well, they used it to drive up a gravel road up the canyon to a chlorinator. What did you use to paint the flares? Mine have gone all gray too!

    Second Row Seat Delete, Functional for Daily Duties?

    With the wifeys minivan we tossed the 3rd row bench seat since its just the two of us right now. It felt like we were constantly taking it out to haul different things Dint realize we would need it so often until it was gone. Like 2 or 3 times a month. How much stuff do you really need to haul...

    Jeepagon 3.0

    Got the basic frame pretty much in place The front header is welded down to the windshield frame structure and the door frame structure. The front front lip is glued down with some windshield adhesive. This piece created the flat spot for the front hinge to land. I was a sloppy and got a bunch...

    Jeep XJ Pop Top Camper Build

    Hey getting out is getting out 'cold' or not! Thats middle of the summer mountain camping weather in utah! I am sure a jeem np would hold the heat way better than a tent. Although with our pop tops there is still a fair bit of canvas. Glad you tested my proof of concept. It's gonna take bigger...

    Jeep XJ Pop Top Camper Build

    Nice! I am stoked to see my hair brained idea in action! It lasted you most of the night on 6ah! Did you notice how often it cycled? The two 9ah batteries I am thinking of using may do the trick then.

    Who makes the best rims?

    That said I like OEM wheels on my rigs. Except my willys the factory 4.5 inch wide rims dont work with 13.50 wide tires!

    Who makes the best rims?

    "Best" is so suggestive without any background. What are the rims being used on? What is the intended purpose? If I was outfitting the same vehicle as rock crawler, overland build, service truck, lifted big or even lowered or a daily driver pavement princess they would probably be three very...

    Jeepagon 3.0

    We are a bit spoiled here in the high deserts in the Intermountain West. I imagine the 2 door I scrapped because of rust would be considered a mint builder up north!

    Jeepagon 3.0

    Not much work done on the jeep on the last week, life getting in the way. Went down to St George to visit the grendparents. Went out on a 100 mile drive into the Arizona Strip. Re-ignited the drive to crank it out and camp! Drivers seat is upholstered and looks new.....I was a doofus and left...

    How often do you disconnect?

    A well tuned suspension doesn't really need swaybars. Track car is probably the exception ....Unpopular opinion in some circles I am sure.

    How often do you disconnect?

    Always! Threw the swaybar away. Daily driven too! Did the same on my IFS chevy hightop van as well.
