Beautiful pics funrover, I saved several to my screen saver directory, they switch every 10 seconds, thanks:)

I don't know how set you are on having a hard case on the roof, but I've found this pack http://www.karstsports.com/loscreekmont.html is an excellent way to store recovery gear. The gear does not need protecting so a hard case may just take up more room than necessary. I have a standard tag...

At first, spend your money on getting the rig into tiptop mechanical conditon. Belts, hoses, tierod ends, brakes, etc. Once that is done, drive it and see what you think you need. I have a equipped rock crawler that really only use for light duty wheeling and camping.:(

:Wow1: NIce pics, that water crossing looked crazy:clapsmile

I thought I recognized that screen name but couldn't remember from where. I used to post on JU a lot. Glad to have you here. I like the trailer.:)

I am having a Blair Witch flashback:)

I thought that was just an east coast thing:chowtime: I am watchng this thread with great interest, me and a buddy are flying out and renting a jeep next year, take lots of pics. We're figuring ~$1500 each for 4 days, you locals fully suck:)

Agreed, I looked hard at the head swap b/c I was afraid to pull the engine but the water jacket, timing issues and machine work scared me off. I can find strong running 4.0s for ~$500 around me, so I went that direction. My understanding is that the stroker motors use the 4.0 block with it's...

My yellow lab likes to sleep under the jeep, she is an amazingly good dog for me in the woods. I never tie her, even at night and she never runs off. The only down side is that she usually manages to get oil on her back fur.

I know pictures never do a situation justice but that stuck doesn't look bad???

There is a lot of dinking to do a head swap onto a 258 block. You would be farther ahead time, money, and power wise to just drop in a complete 4.0 from a 91-95 cherokee. The odbI motors are very simple to wire. I only had to splice 6 wires into my harness. Fuel injection rocks! Another...

That's the one I want if I ever loose a hand.

Didn't think of that, thanks

I just picked some army surplus wool blankets. My problem is that they smell like moth balls (insert joke here). I washed them in hot water and hung to dry, with no luck. Any suggestions?

I saw a winch get taken in broad daylight at Paragone. The guy was parked watching the rockcrawling comp. Sad thing is, the thiefs were fellow off roaders:( . I've since welded my winch nuts to the underside of the bumper and I just now realized that you could easily steal the whole bumper...

Welcome and nice truck, my buddy has been bugging me to build him that exact rack. Do you have any pics of how you mounted it?

I rode motocross bikes until 23, then dual sport until 25, then a crusier for a year, now nothing. My daughter was born when I was 23, so I gradually drifted away from bikes. I don't miss them until I see a pickup loaded with dirt bikes heading out. I'd give my left arm to get her interested...

Thanks for the link, that's perfect. I'm just day dreaming, we bought an 01 new as a grocery getter. My wife has 180K on it, the thing is a tank, but it's time for a new rig for her. I'm considering keeping it rather than trading b/c it's not worth much now. I have the new warn winch but...

Has anyone seen a winch bumper for the xterra that would hold a dual force winch? the winch is very tall.

As I read thru the first 3-4 pages of this thread I get the impression that most feel you are giving up ride quality by going SAS. Forget all the other advantages/disadvantages. A properly set up solid axle suspension can be plenty cushy. I am SOA on stock full size wagoneer front spings. My...
