Will do. Eager to get started once the lift is done.

One thing I really like about flat beds is the storage boxes underneath. You can put a lot of stuff in there that you wouldn't want inside the camper. Because I didn't want the expense of a flat bed plus the extra weight I am thinking going with side boxes like these and then building a popup...

Saw your truck at the shop today. That thing is a beast! I think the ultimate setup and will serve you well. Mine's in there getting a CST 6" lift (you can see it behind yours in the second photo). I mounted 315/70-17's on the H2 wheels but had rubbing issues. Plus got sick of the rock hard...

Cool! I'm in G-ville a lot although not with the Jeep. In fact, have to go there and Carson tomorrow. Do you do much local exploring? I'm in the Sierra Stompers 4x4 club.

After polishing did you paint them with a UV resistant clear? I did mine about a year ago and they are still holding up. Before painting with clear and just polishing they would only last a few months before fading out again.

Thanks. Yeah, I was going to start building my half ton pick up into an overland rig but started adding up parts costs and decided it was much cheaper to just keep the Jeep and change a few things on it. Wanted something with more interior room so may convert one of my utility trailers into an...

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of the NAXJA. Just checked out their site and will join up although I'm a little concerned about this photo on their home page! Hope this isn't their typical trail ride! o_O:p Decided to keep my Jeep. Had it advertised in a bunch of places but no replies...

Any interest in trading for a Jeep? https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/1998-jeep-cherokee-xj.201589/

Would also consider trade for a van.

Hey, I was in Elko last fall for an EMS conference. Hope you weren't affected by the Lamoille fire. Yeah, XJ's are a great platform. Mine is a little over built for overlanding and more of a rock crawler. I'm done with the whole crawling thing and now prefer to cover more distance on milder...

Location: North West NV (Smith Valley) about an hour south east of Tahoe/Carson. 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ, 4.0, AX15 speed trans, NP231 Transfer Case, 33x12.50 BFG KM2 Mud Terrains with matching spare, 8.25" rear with Detroit Locker, 4.10 gear, Dana 30 front with ARB Locker and 4.10 gear, G2 diff...

So some time has gone by and I got my new tires and flairs on. Spent a couple weeks camping out of the back in CO and it was okay but want more room. There are a few pop ups for sale locally on CL that are pretty fairly priced so that is tempting. Also really thinking about going with a flat...

Did a little color change. May change all the white to OD green.

Did a little local run today. Mild trail but very nice.

Beautiful! Got any build photos?

The van can Dodge obstacles.....or Ram them!:D

I have a Chevy 2500 crew cab truck with a camper shell that I had intended to use as my overland rig but also need a pickup with an open bed for working on my small ranch. So instead of buying another truck I figured I'd pull the shell off and use the truck I already have and get a van instead...

I've had 5 ZJ's, 2 WJ's and a WK so a big Grand Cherokee fan! Although I have two XJ's now, been thinking about getting another WJ and doing a mild build for running around locally (I have a bunch of parts for the WJ). I did a Grand Slam in AZ, not sure of the date but seems like 20 years ago...

You should probably post this in the Regional (Four Corners) section for local advise. I am in that area quite often but not enough to recommend any trails. Hopefully some locals can get you the info. I'm assuming both your rigs are 4x4s? Which one are you taking out? My recommendation would be...

Ara is doing okay but has a few health issues that prevent him from riding. He will be getting surgery soon and hopefully that will help him. He sold his place in TX and bought a nice little home in NM closer to health facilities. He has been going up into the mountains in his Jeep and got...
