    All Terrain Lube Storage Solution... Bengels Juice Box

    I really do like your design and I would take it over the quart crate. I do like the quart crate but for my needs i don't need that many quarts of fluid on the quick trips I make.......4 qts will do my engine and the trans specs 10w-30 so no real sense of carrying six + quarts. Plus I don't have...

    Running Gear Question

    Same vote here too..............I helped install two of their kits and I was not particularly impressed with the quality and fit. In all fairness this was several years ago and they seem to have revamped their line. I dont like to bash on companies but it seems that they had some quality...

    Looking for good family sized thermos recommendations

    I cant comment on anything offered today but I do have a larger thermos that is circa 1950 -1960 I got from my grandpa that works better than anything I have seen on the market today. It is lined with some sort of ceramic lining and is rather thick. It keeps coffee warm most of the day long. I...

    drawer/storage system for Jeep Wrangler

    Excellent point! Its not of much use to you if its not readily accessible. Not to mention the jack gets dusty/ muddy/ greasy if you actually use and maintain/ oil it like your suppose to. I use to keep mine inside....for reasons previously stated now it resides outside, well oiled with a rubber...

    drawer/storage system for Jeep Wrangler

    Good to see another YJ coming out of the woodwork! I just wrapped up my storage/ kitchen slide out in my wrangler today. I haven't really had a chance to get out there and play with it however I am already totally in love with it. I made mine semi-permanent but it would be super easy to make...

    VW People....Check in!!!!

    I have always had a soft spot for anything VW built for the offroad......I think I watched my Herbie tapes too many times, does that count?:sombrero: I have had my eye on a Manx thats sitting in a yard near my house for years now. The pan is rusted through but most of the rest looks...

    Pipe Benders

    Honestly buying a bender really depends on how many bends your planning on. A bender can run from a few hundred to easily a few thousand I personally just purchased my second bender from Affordablebender.com @ http://www.tjdieselperformance.com They work great for the $300 that they cost. They...

    Presenting at Sundance Film Festival

    I am going to see if I can get some work off to make this! I really enjoy looking at your pictures from your GSL project. Plus it would be nice to meet some local EXPO Utah members also. If anyone from points farther north (coming from Logan area) is interested in a ride shoot me a PM.

    show me your flex

    I do agree that flex is overrated. Old rig was extremely flexable and went pretty much over anything you pointed it at. Now days I am in a stock wrangler on bald tires with the swaybars still connected! I an 100% positive it would flex out on a curb. I still drive the same trails i use to...

    mods you wouldnt do again ...

    100% without ANY type of a fan!:Wow1: We ran a powerchoke with some cardboard in front of the radiator when it was really cold out to warm her up a bit but I never heard about eliminating the fans completely.........maybe Idaho is colder than I remember! (I ought to send you my buddies...

    mods you wouldnt do again ...

    I have got to say I kinda have to disagree......HF tools certainly has its place. Some of their tools are pure garbage from the second you open the box some are flat awesome for the money. My $0.02.........for ~$20 bucks you cant beat their 4" angle grinders. Yeah they are significantly louder...

    Manifold Cooking

    That is the perfect spot! I am gonna have to copy your set up. (if thats ok of course) A piece of exhaust tube a scrap of angle iron, simple yet effective! We usually took a nail and poked a hole that just barely pierced the can. The hole is just big enough to equalize the pressure but not...

    Manifold Cooking

    Never tried a hotdogger on a bike, but i cant see why it wouldn't work! We used them on our sleds all the time. As long as you can find a spot on the exhaust that will fit it your good to go! The muffler might not get quite as hot on a bike since its farther from the motor than the pipes on a...

    Roof top tent cover repair

    I have the same problem with my cover. A local upholstery shop quoted me like $25 to redo the stitching and reinforce the corners to keep it from happening again. Pretty reasonable in my book!

    External Table mount

    That would work so great for a tailgate table for a jeep! Looks like its a really strong extrusion and reasonable too. I wonder how stable it would be for a 13X26 table with no other additional support?

    Post vids of your 4.0 exhaust

    I had a flowmaster 40 series muffer on my 4.0 L Grand Cherokee and I regreted absolutly every single moment of it. It resonated in the cab too much for my liking. Kinda hard to explain but it felt like the extra noise fatigued you more when driving on the freeway. It was nearly as loud as the...
