    New here, 97 CTD with a 69 8' OpenRoads camper

    haha, i read your whole build thread a few weeks back, when i became active here on ExPo. Our trucks are identical except i have 4.10s and you have 3.55 right? I read about you considering the H2 wheels and i started to laugh, thinking how close our trucks would have looked. the machining really...

    here you can see the new lights better. They are Rigid Duallys with amber filters. they make great day time running lights with the filters on. i think my skid plate needs a few big holes drilled in it. my truck was getting warmer than usual on Sherwin grade going north out of Bishop

    i was VERY impressed with the Timbrens. they installed with a ratchet, 2 sockets and about 30-40 minutes. i put the TC on and the back sat 1.5-2" taller than before. i honestly forgot about them most of the trip, the truck drove so much nicer it was amazing. looking up Toiga pass, the pass into...

    I have been busy with the truck. I will start a build thread in the full size forum soon. The camper is off, I bought a camper shell last night. I'm driving to LaPaz in a few weeks for the Baja1000 I decided against the airbags, I didn't want to rip them while wheeling it. I bought "Timberens"...

    My 95 Cummins Expedition project

    oh ok, it raises the axle side, that makes a lot more sense. thanks for going to that trouble for me. Have you played with your P-pump at all? GSK? my 34" tires and 4.10 gears make my truck really spin some rpms on the highway, my cummins guru friend says a 3000 GSK will move my fuel curve up...

    Another jeep xj build from zephyrhills Florida

    Welcome! Looks good, very similar to my wife's xj sport Get out and camp as much as possible! I added a set of driving lights early on in my build and use them a lot. The jeep headlights aren't great. I run a set of 7" pro comps and they work well for the money

    1999 Ford F250 4x4/Lance ES3000

    why do you put your zj on a trailer? i have trailered my XJ on a 20ft trailer, but i want to set it up to flat tow. i don't want the additional tongue weight with my camper on. i figure flat towing will eliminate the tongue weight. also my 20ft trailer is a bit long/bulky fear of death wobble...
