    98 Jeep ZJ "SHTFV"

    Wow, thank you very much!! It was awesome to come in this afternoon and read your compliment. RE: banging up a vehicle on hard trails: This used to be fun for me, when I was in to conquering obsticles. Truth be told, it was a lot of fun, when everything was working correctly. The problem lies in...

    Dash Bezel I finally went out to take a few pics of the bezel installed. While doing so I realized my camera is in the midst of epic fail mode, and has a large chip out of the lense :( This means my pics will likely suck until I get it sorted out :( Sorry for the poor quality images, but here...

    Why I love the JEEP name.

    I got one for ya, I drove my Jeep all the way from San Diego to Moab Utah for Jeep week last year. It started making a wierd clicking noise about 200 miles from Moab. When we arrived in town we stopped at the grocery store for supplies. When I started the vehicle the clicking noise got worse and...

    sPOD custom dash bezel I was in a bit of a hurry to get the next steps done, as the wife was hounding me to go on a little vacation with the family. I tried to take as many photos as I could, but I was primarily focused on just getting the job done. I decided to make the bezel out of .090 5052...

    S-POD mounting In my last post I tried to show you some decent shots of the sPOD unit. I spent a lot of time debating on where to mount the components and finally decided on the spot. I have been having problems with my cruise control, and frankly never used it anyway so I decided to yank it...

    98 Jeep ZJ "SHTFV"

    They do not have a specific mount for the ZJ, but he spent some time with me debating mounting options as well as supplying me with a 7 switch panel that I get to make a bezel for :) So far, I spent about $450 on the system, and I am of the opinion that it is worth every penny :) I will start...

    My new ZJ Expedition Rig

    I like your chuck box man. I am regretting not going with aluminum for mine. It gets pretty heavy pretty fast. To be fair, the majority of weight is what we put in it :)Depending on how far you are on the roof rack, you may want to remove the factory rack in its entirety and just use the...

    My new ZJ Expedition Rig

    That's really cool! My ZJ is having the same effect so I know what you mean. I often go hang out at Ranch Muffler where there are a lot of Jeepers working on repairs to their rock crawlers. I forsee a lot of these guys moving away from obsticle conquering and getting into Expo adventure. Keep up...

    98 Jeep ZJ "SHTFV"

    As you guys can tell, I am very excited about this addition to the ZJ. If I was a wiring wiz, I may have tried to do my own but my expertise most certainly isn't wiring :) I am floored at the quality of this piece. Makes me feel confident installing my electronic goods. I only hope my portion of...

    time for "The Source" Hi all, I have been very busy with work as of late, and also been saving my pennies for the next round of upgrades! We recently took a 2 day trip up to Big Bear for some "Yellow Post" camping. When we were up there we dropped by All J's Jeep shop as we heard they...

    Thanks Jon! I will be keeping an eye for sure. I am told it will likely be next Thursday before it shows up. I am going to work a little this weekend to make an extended dash to hold all of the radios/gps/switches/gauges. It will likely take me a bit to get it built though. I have been nudging...
