    Jeep lineup in the next few years

    Isn't that supposed to be... "one of these kids is doing their OWN thing... One of these kids is not like the others..." :)

    Dumpster find/table idea??

    Actually I think its the lighting/camera... the top is actually smooth. Not sure why it shows up that way... maybe that's the welding showing through? This will be a fin thing to play with... just need more time to get all the projects from the in box to the out box! :)

    Rebuilding an XJ 4.0--in Hemi Orange!

    Funny... I just got done putting mine all together today! Couple of notes... Make sure you look for the little decal that shows the proper routing of the serp belt. I did mine about ten different ways and thought I was gonna have an aneurism! If you don't route it correctly the belt will never...

    xj rear tire carrier

    Not trying to be a jerk but you mention that a swing out carrier reduces departure angle... you don't think a full on, stand alone receiver hitch doesn't??.

    Jeep Cherokee XJ - Contender for the Overlanding Crown?

    I would say the quality was not to dissimilar to a lot the ChyCo was putting out at that time period. Not sure why but they have always been known for poor plastic. Ask any Dodge pick up owner from the early 90s on and you will hear tales of woe about entire dashboards disintegrating into...

    Rebuilding an XJ 4.0--in Hemi Orange!

    Custom Storage Cabinet for 80 Series

    Wow! Nice design and execution! Whats the thing under the amp that kinda looks like a...uh, Geroge Foreman grille? Sorry... don't know how to describe it better. :) And which model inverter is that on the drivers side rear? Guessing that doesn't go with the box either? Just curious so maybe this...

    Leica Rangefinder

    I think that is very similar to what comes as basic issue items with the Army's new grenade launcher (M320). If it is, its a good unit and worth someone picking up. Good luck with your sale roamin'! :)

    Dumpster find/table idea??

    So I'm not sure where this should go so I just kinda dropped it here. If its in the wrong place, I'm sorry and please feel free to move it-move it. :) I was visiting the recycling center here on base in Germany and I found some cool stuff (as usual). What applies here (I hope) is this unusual...

    Jeep lineup in the next few years

    Lol...That is one of those Jeep related statements that will forever be a contentious bone needing picked. :) Personally, I look at Great granddady Jeep as the bench marker. The MB and early CJ2a are Jeeps, the 2a included since it was their first step into the civilian side of the market. Any...

    Jeep Cherokee XJ - Contender for the Overlanding Crown?

    History and "things"... Thought I'd toss up a couple pics I've had one here now and again. The tan XJ is the free trade one I got that made the trip west and back. Lift was ACOS w/Grand cherk springs and the rear was AALs and shackles. The roof rack, bumper, and paint were all done by...

    99' XJ: Slowly Going Down Under.

    Yeah... My RTT is mounted on my CJ8 Scrambler right now. I'm 6' but the jeep is SOA on 35s so I don't worry. Now once it goes on my stock XJ I will be inspired to start lifting it I'm sure. :)

    Rango.....1942 Willys MB

    Did you even try and balance them monsters? I suppose you could take them to a real tire shop and see if they can "true" them on the wheel... or maybe add some ballast (I hear Airsoft pellets work?) to help with the tire?

    99' XJ: Slowly Going Down Under.

    I like the color of the mattress in your tent. Sure wish mine didn't have some motif borrowed from a Granny's yard sale. :( Its a camping tent... Why does it need floral print or stripes? Do you have to squat much to walk under the tent when its opened?

    Rango.....1942 Willys MB

    Sta-Bill...Stay! Adding a stabilizer may be worth a try if you have one laying around. IIRC you got those tires used, right? I would be inclined to think your wobble is in them more than anything. Plus it hasn't seen a lot of pavement time, has it? Driving on hard stuff may actually help the...

    Jeep Cherokee XJ - Contender for the Overlanding Crown?

    And to expand on the interchangeability and cost value... I needed an alternator since I snapped the POS wire stud off mine. Went to the junk yard on the main post (I'm in Germany) and found one sitting and waiting for me in a 96 Grand Cherokee. Same Alt and I got it free! :) I've owned Jeeps...
