    Uh. About 87,000 on the truck when I bought it, about 03,000 on it now. That makes 23,000 miles, plus whatever (1000-2000?) the previous owner put on them in the few months he owned them. Multiply that all by my CONSERVATIVELY incorrect speedo reading of 8% (used to be way more than that). Lets...

    Only if I can cross the border into CA to do it (no offence to you....) But then again enough of CA is on fire at the moment.

    She sure does. 6 years of desert sun have taken their toll. 6 years is a long time for ANY climate. Will throw away the 1 worn tire, keep one for a spare, and maybe keep the other 2 or sell them as spares. Anybody wanna lend me $700 bucks for a set of BFG AT's? lol.

    I've put over 1000 miles on the jeep this past month. Not really any wheeling, but had a 460 mile road trip in the beast over Labor day weekend. Rolled the beast out to June Lake, CA on that Friday. Made it out there fine. On Saturday we rolled up to Virginia Lakes for some fishing, up to nearly...

    I wish it was that simple. I have a suspended bow style headliner. A kit would be about $250 shipped if I chose to try it on my own, or multiple shops have quoted me between $400-600 for just the headliner because they need to be custom matched to the existing one. Gonna go get a free board...

    Back before Rick started offering the headlight harness, which came before the tailgate harness, I did the mod on my own. His is amazing quality and its literally plug and play where as I had to splice into factory wires. Mine has been trouble free for a few years though so I'm not too worried...

    Woop Woop! The side channels are kinda funky, they are different than the 1973 ones i removed and are really tight. they make the window really stiff to move up and down, moving it by hand even required a good bit of force. But anyway... modified tailgate switch Fraction of an inch of...

    One of my favorite cheap beers. When it's hot and I'm working in the garage I don't much feel like an imperial IPA or Belgian triple

    not much going on lately, just been trying to put on some miles in the dirt. Other than that I have recently torn into my tailgate because the window was being funky. It would quit on me randomly and then start working again. I ripped it open and the 40 year old motor still works when...
