    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    Always good to see more flat fenders on these pages. Newest Jeep I own is a '69 Commando. Not exactly a flatty

    Florida to Moab` completed

    What you are doing is part of the adventure. You end up where you are. I've been through a lot of that area and have also slept under the PU tailgate in the rain by the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Tales you can tell.

    The PDXJ: Project 2001 Jeep Cherokee

    There is a reason I carry both metric and SAE tools in my Jeep. I'm not quite up to some of the British stuff. It's good you got it going.

    Dilemma : Keep Modded XJ or Get JK Rubicon

    You need to be a bit philosophical about your vehicles. A friend had a work Toyota and his new 4X4 Toyota. Both must have been 1979 vintage. He was out polishing his 4x4 every weekend. Doing the Armorall on the dash. It was spotless. His work truck had dust and papers on the dash and he rarely...

    Dilemma : Keep Modded XJ or Get JK Rubicon

    Simplistic answer, Keep both of them.

    The M~D~U Report: A Thousand Miles of Dirt in Utah

    Weeeel, there is lots of stuff out there and I know of places in WY and CO and UT that I don't talk much about. Up from the dugway is Sheiks flat and Bullet canyon. Good places to take a hike from down to the Grand Gulch Primitive Area. Native structures, old corn cobs and Tee Pee rings. A good...

    The M~D~U Report: A Thousand Miles of Dirt in Utah

    At least you found the Moki Dugway and Valley of the Gods. There are good camping areas North of the Dugway. There is an Indian Creek West of Blanding and on the outside of the Needles District. I thought the trenches in the hills looked familiar.

    Wow, somebody that will actually admit they screwed up instead of blaming it on some someone else. Walk with pride.

    My 2016 in Pictures - Share Yours Too!

    Adventures happen when they do. I was on top of Mt. Elbert on July 3rd in 1976. We got snowed on.

    Wandering Wyoming on 2 wheels

    I never went to Flaming Gorge until around 15 years ago. A couple times. I rode around on my old XT 550 and in a matter of hours you are in a totally different terrain in that area. It rained and we never caught any fish. Just more adventures.

    Converting a factory JK/JKU hardtop to modular

    I've spent some days in an office pushing papers around or going over plans to estimate costs for projects. I would rather be out in the weather and get something done or run several thousand board feet of wood through a mill to produce a product. Just me...

    Converting a factory JK/JKU hardtop to modular

    You do nice work. I've done boat repairs and Olympic sized swimming pools. At the end if the day I looked like a character from a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Big clumps of fiberglass stuck to my shoes and gloves and we don't want to speak of where the dust from sanding will end up.

    1973 Wagoneer - Full Size Camping Goodness

    Sorry for what happened to you. What can I say? Crap happens to people. You can take it several ways. You can run over to the corner of the parking lot and jump up and down and scream out foul words or you deal with it and continue with life. It is always fun to watch people that are screaming...

    Brake issues

    If your Mitsu is as old as mine, dual anchor brakes are a mystery. I learned in my old MB Jeep. There is a correct procedure for them. I was driving through town a few years ago and I locked up all of my brakes at an intersection with my Jeep pushing me through the wet intersection. At least...

    So... anyone ever break their cab roof?

    I never felt the need to mount anything on my roof. Everything is in my dash or mounted underneath.

    The M~D~U Report: A Thousand Miles of Dirt in Utah

    We have gotten full sized pickups out to the Confluence and through Lockhart Basin. Wear your skinny tires for the squeeze and fold in the mirrors. Actually the Kid had an easy time on Lockhart in his F350, crew cab, long bed, 4X4 diesel. His wheelbase was so long that he avoided most of the...

    Repower a Fuso FG639

    A few years ago I thought about changing the motor in my Mitsu. ******, I'm on my vacation. I get there when I get there. More chances to see what is going on by the side of the road.
