one of the first major trips with this jeep was the mojave road: first time it rock crawled was Woodpecker: that was also it's first carnage... haha, nothing in comparison to what would come eventually: one of the next expeditions was to the Anza Borrego area, where it got it's first...

the jeep is currently sitting at Lost Offroad / Absolute Offroad getting axle swap and a few other goodies. i'm swapping axles basically for more reliability. as soon as i upgraded to 35's with that ARB and factory 30 in the front, i started becoming much lighter on the pedal. the consensus is...

general specs she's a 2003 Limited Grand Cherokee WJ in "Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl" with the 4.7 HO V8 engine. It has every option that the Overland had except rain-sense wipers and adjustable pedals. price back when new was nearly $40k, but I picked her up used with about 75k miles...

i've got a build thread on pretty much every other forum that i frequent, so i thought perhaps it was time to do one here to. i won't be repeating every little detail, instead i'll just highlight the major mods and expedition related goodies - as well as post some pics from the better trips! my...

sound like you are getting equipt to go 'splorin pretty well! a few thoughts for you... i didn't see anyone mention bug-out-bag: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/bugoutbagz/ http://www.offroadpassport.com/forum/showthread.php?t=573 i saw you've already been discussing a basic toolkit - here...

yeah, i got mine there, it was $50 cheaper even - they must have been selling well because they raised the price back up!

so not really an expedition/adventure bike - just something to ride around neighborhood and take with me camping sometimes. i sold my trek like a year ago as it had been neglected for quite some time as i hadn't ridden in years... then suddenly the 5yo goes and ditches his training wheels the...

has worked well - knock on metal - no issues, even with some pretty overloaded trips. i just put some threadlock on each bolt going into the nutserts when i installed it, no other waterproofing.

what are we talking about?

awesome to see someone really commit (cutting up some of the interior) - cleanly done though! on the window templates - what about just tinting the side windows black since you don't really need them? and then just have to deploy the rear block-out. maybe make it out of that plastic sign...

yeah, no other editing was done, it's just a random pic that i took around the block from my apartment when i was testing out the new camera

i played with a little HDR in Photoshop a while back... here was the main exposure from the auto-bracketing: this is where i stopped that to me still looked somewhat "natural": but it's funny, i pushed it to unrealistic for fun and the average person out there likes this one better...

something a little smaller than the usual "random rig shot"... ;)

from Optima's site: and from Odyssey battery: so as i said - not normally ;)

my understanding is that AGM style batteries do not off-gas except in extenuating circumstances - such as severe overcharging or if they are pierced. i put mine in the old spare tire well in the rear of my Grand Cherokee. i got plenty of naysayers warning me not to do this though... so if i...

suprised no-one else mentioned it in the alternatives list yet, but i personally use a $5 oil-filter wrench: if you want something nicer, get the $20 one:

your 100% right regarding not widening or creating new tracks to avoid water or mud. however he's referring to the higher speed splashing, not the fact you crossed a creek - the idea is to "minimize impact"

aux light in rear hatch works fine on most trips: more info: http://www.offroadpassport.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7019&postcount=246 FYI, you can get an inexpensive remote control relay for your light from autozone like this: Amazon.com: Pilot Performance Lighting PL-SW29 4 Channel...

yesterday i did a little presentation on Tread Lightly for Brady's kindergarten class. they have recently been learning about natural resources, recycling, and animal habitats - so the teacher thought this would be a good topic for them too. i talked to them in the classroom first and made...
