1947 CJ2A: AKA "Bigdaddy's Jeep therapy sessions" While I mulled this project over before purchasing, we came to refer to it as the "McDonalds Jeep on Craigslist", due to the mixture of Yellow, red and white patina which reminded us of our former lives when we used to frequent that...

I hadnt considered those. Thanks for the link!

Yeah, i like that rig. Having had a vehicle stolen, i'm all about that "don't bother stealing me" look. :)

To each his own - my wife doesnt like the idea either...lol. All four of my current aluminum wheels are knackered. Do you have a source for the new or new old stock wheels you're talking about? Not looking for used wheels... I MAY end up going with used spares if needed but then, most spares...

4 of these, basically...

Isuzu aftermarket rims are either not my style or more money than i want to spend. I'm going to be rocking 235-85r16's most likely. How about spare steelies for that cheap price, thin profile and cool NATO look?

Hey Jeff, you know i have NOT found the switches, thoughi have been scouring wreckers and Ebay over the years. I agree the one i do have gets used a lot by my wife as its in the perfect spot for map reading, etc... I'm working on some very low profile, minimalist awning mounts for thule bars...

Welcome from sunny San diego, ca. The expo is a very well read, well travelled site, so i'm sure someone will come along with the answers.:)

Thank you, sir, much appreciated from someone with as extensive a garage as you have, and I agree. I have had almost zero trouble from the this vehicle, and was QUITE surprised at how capable it is in its current form. The two vehicles I was with most of the time over the Anza Borrego were: ZJ...

Up and over Definitely some pucker-factor My wheeling partner for the weekend. Nice rig. 1966 willy's body, 80's blazer frame/drivetrain

Sorry for the lag time on pics. :) my crew for the day view from the top

The next had us out adventuring for most of the day...This was one of the high-lights for me, as I creeped around Shell reef.

Great idea!

Ok, here's some pics from my adventures in Anza-Borrego - Ocotillo wells, specifically. . So my dad an I had been planning on this weekend for a while. We were joining a big group of other dudes out in the desert for an event called D.I.R.T put on by Hume Ministries. Basically a weekend of...

Thanks! Yeah, I had a 2door 1988 trooper in high school that I beat the living crap out of and probably should have kept. It was slower than molasses, but MAN, it was tough as nails.

OK, thanks for the vote, dude. I think that's the way I'm going to go. Having been out all over Anza-Borrego two weekends ago, with good results, I really think my OME lift and an inch or two of tire are all I'll need, too. I DO want to maximize/focus on upping my ply rating for durability, as...

Can u take pics or describe how you are sleeping 5 in your RTT. I have a family of 5, too.

I rocked a 1992 XJ for 4-5 years. Towed a small 4x8 trailer at least once a week, which was usually loaded to the gills and I completely agree. Not a rig i'd want to use to tow something that heavy for an extended period of time.

Ok, so I'm noticing a trend, when I look at online stores like discount tire, America's tire store, etc. - I'm seeing a serious lack of 255/85R16 options. On the contrary, I see a metric butt-load of 265/75R16 options that run the gamut as far as style, ply, load range, etc. Is this the...

I'm thinking about leaning towards a 255-85R16. Was just reading about the size. Very narrow tread width, and about 33" tall. Exactly what I was looking for, AND it fits on 7" rims. My plan involves grabbing 4 steel spares and putting the new tires on them. Trooper stock rims and spares are...
