    Jeep Cherokee XJ - Contender for the Overlanding Crown?

    Mine I feel your pain ADK XJ... but as a fellow jeeper and XJ owner I am actually a little glad our rigs don't get the credit they deserve. While I will doubtfully ever be able to go plop down (or be ever willing to finance) 30-50K on a Jeep, Our XJs always seem to pop up for sale at a...

    Bearing slide DIY...Help?

    In the attempt to begin planing to build my rear slide out I have a question about bearings. Specifically the ones used to make your own super HD drawer slides or fridge slide. Can anyone post some pics of how they did theirs and their thoughts on this kind versus more traditional ball bearing...

    Help finding latch part number...

    So I've been trying to find a part number so I can order a latch similar to these. I owe all the credit for the idea to the folks at Poison Spider for coming up with the idea. Reece (SHTFGrand Cherokee build) showed that style latch is more adaptable than just one design (and did a great job of...

    Rango.....1942 Willys MB

    Nothing is shorter than the 420 brotha! Is there no way to adapt it differently or use a Dana 20 or 300? I know you'd lose the rear offset but its kinda 6 one way, half dozen the other? The 465 and 435 are both physically a good deal larger transmissions. The T-18/19 maybe a little less so...

    XJ remote oil filter

    Sub! I don't have any actual helpful idea but I'm gonna watch and learn! If your adapter replaces the leak prone factory adapter, that will be a very good thing! I have two XJs right now (91 and 2001) and both are leaking from there! Try searching around on the Jeep Cherokee Forum or NAXJA for...

    Cool XJ tool box repurpose..

    yeah... That's where I saw this (and stole the pictures. He has a neat idea IMHO. Downside to an idea like this is if he stops making them, anyone else can. I don't want to steal his thunder and fully give him all the credit. I do think I will be modifying my own tool boxes I scored for free to...

    98 Jeep ZJ "SHTFV"

    Nah... I kinda understand since they did the R&R to develop it and its kind of an exclusive to their bumpers. I do think they are missing out on selling it as a kit but that's their decision to make, not mine. :) Ted Z... Thanks sir!!! That Does look very similar to the latch... hmm... Now...

    Cool XJ tool box repurpose..

    That's what I was thinking. I haven't heard a back story on it yet but I hope to. I can imagine finding one at a garage sale or Harbor Freight or whatever, cutting it up to fit and there you are. Cheap, more secure than a plastic one, and all DIY. I'm thinking along the same lines based on some...

    98 Jeep ZJ "SHTFV"

    Got a reply from Dusty/PS today. He said they don't sell it. He did give me a link to a manufacturer of a spindle portion but I'm more interested in that latching mechanism. The spindle part is available through several places... Oh well. Guess I'll keep head scratching and see what I can come...

    Cool XJ tool box repurpose..

    Yeah... I remember the plastic factory ones. Were not all that great like a lot of the AMC era factory offerings. This just strikes me as a neat idea...and since over a hundred folks have looked and we are the only comments I suppose we are the odd balls.?. :)

    The Grey

    charming AND cute!?! Your a lucky man! :) Wish I would have known about the show/event... I may have been able to make that one. And now I actually have one working XJ, one being operated on, and the Scrambler that just sulks in the parking lot being grumpy with me. :)

    No swinging... Hey, Its cool! I appreciate you trying. I sent a PM to Dusty (PS Vendor on Military Jeepers) but haven't heard back...Guess those guys don't want to talk to me? *shrugs* Oh well... I'll either look into fabricating my own ideas or plagiarize some of the many I have been looking...

    New NATO fuel cans in Atlanta area

    Yeah... I wasn't intending to sound harsh.. I was just poking fun in my own lil way. :) On a side note/thread steal... How do you tell which O rings/gaskets work with which fuel types? I stumbled across about 10 or 12 in a package being thrown away here and wonder what they are for.?.
