    Well now...I got enough initiative to actually do something. The front of my camper previously looked as such: Judging by the fresh chips in my paint, and the way the thin aluminum sheeting looks like it was actually peppered with bird shot, i determined that this is from 30 years of having...

    Its actually a bit strange to me.... Lately, i've just been driving the jeep, not working on it. This is pretty much the first time since owning it that I haven't HAD TO do anything. My brakes are groaning/squeeking (I probably overheated and cracked the shoes) and the drums feel a little...

    thanks for the comments and suggestions. I've been told about the great advantages of the old stock motorcrafts. They also have automatic altitude compensation I believe. Everybody says they are great off camber. I should have jsut not switched over my 4bbl intake onto this engine and picked...

    IT'll eventually be addressed when I do the axle swap. The tab held on strong for like 38 years, the only reason it broke is because I jumped the damn thing and had the front end 3' in the air haha. It held up fine on the pretty rough parts of the trail we just did, so im not worried for the...

    The coolest part about goodsprings is the world famous Pioneer Saloon. Oldest bar in Clark County. Pretty much the only way to drink PBR is from a Mason Jar.... Bullet holes in the wall where a man was shot in 1915 The 'Carol Lombard Room' Anyway, after a beer or two we packed up and...

    Well, I'm at it again. Hadn't driven the jeep in a few weeks so pulled it out of storage Friday night. I had a buddy who needed to do a shake down run with his 56 Willys (with a brand new GM V8 under the hood) before going out to Hump 'N Bump next weekend, so we gathered a few other jeeps and...

    well, with the ABILITY to fix anything on the side of the road, comes the NEED to fix things on the side of the road, haha.

    my exact thoughts, pretty much anything could be fixed side of the road, and parts are more or less plentiful.

    As I was driving home that sunday afternoon, I realized something. This trip was the first time I was able to use the jeep for EXACTLY what I had originally bought it for, with no worries, and absolutely no problems. It took me 2.5 years of work, thousands of dollars, and 16 stitches (along...

    Well, It's story time. I'm sure y'all know how I like to tell the tales of my trips I take....so, here goes. A little back story. You may remember about 13 months ago I loaded up my girl, and my camping gear into the waggy and headed north for Ely, NV on a hot weekend to get out of the desert...
