Buy a winch and a sand anchor (like the pull pall) if your doing a lot of solo desert adventures. I can't answer the first since all my jeeps are old.. :) But the same rules apply when off road in sand. Your correct, its usually the axles (differential) that starts to plow first unless you "nose...

Are you sure the AMC 258 will work? I know the IH V8s are very different animals than the AMCs...?

So how strange would it look to stretch it another 8 inches or so to allow a full sheet of plywood to fit inside? Hmm... guess that would kinda put it out of the jeep sized realm and make the top to difficult. So one other thought I had would be to maybe find someway to incorporate some tie down...

I like the idea but wonder how big a can of worms that could be? One of my gripes about my Scrambler (and my Bantam trailer too) is trying to carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood. I don't know the measurements off the top of my head but do they really have to be so large? Is there some other way to...

I always wonder what and where some of my old jeeps ended up. I had a near cherry 85 Scrambler that I stripped down for a rebuild when I was younger. Ran out of $$ and ended up selling it as a non rolling frame and super clean body. A pair of guys drove down from somewhere to Georgia and hauled...

:( Thanks sloow. I'll wait and try the phone method later...hopefully they speak enough English to understand me. My German is near non-existant. lol!

Or a quick place to sit then? Maybe if you had an awning off the side of the jeep it could be on the back wheel and save needing a chair? :) And while its not very likely to happen... maybe add a strap that goes underneath while its serving as a cargo rack. A "WOW, that was a huge bump" saftey...

Nice work snake... I was a little busy today and couldn't look into it. I just sent them an email to see about custom size boxes so maybe I will hear back from them next week sometime? Their manufacturing plant is a couple hours south of where I am stationed. I'd really like just one big box...

THis I like! Neat idea JS... and one more use would be maybe you could slip it over one of your "in use" tires to act as a step to reach the roof/hood??

X3 on changing the oil...Run an off the shelf (don't need fancy or expensive here) and a really good filter. Run it gently about 100 miles then normal for another 100... change the oil. Repeat the process again but go about 500- 1000 miles. This time run a good synthetic and a top shelf filter (...

Hey guys... I went for the first time to wonder around a store here in Germany called OBI which is sort of like the German version of Home Depot/Lowes. I mostly just went to browse around and see what kind of stuff people use in Europe for construction etc. I also had to pick up some little this...

Poo.....Corporate POO Too..! ;) So I wonder what would happen if someone bought a diesel on in Europe, fitted it with a camper like the Pheonix or ?? and had it brought into the states as an RV? Wonder if that would work...

Welcome to the nightmare...! :)

not going commando... I don't know JS... For some reason the Commando top doesn't do it for me? And I own a 67 halfcab 'mando so I like the look. There is just something about the way it sits on the TJ/LJ that doesn't seem to jump out at me... maybe the lack of slopped rear jeep to match? Not...

Wow... your right! It does lend a great finished look to the trailer (and the LJ!). Are these for the GR8TOPs TJ halfcab only or would they work on a Scrambler too? I assume there is some sort of chanel at the bulkhead/halftop to seal out the water too? They look great! Handy that you work off...

An evening with stumpy..! dang stumpy... I just spent my entire evening reading through the entire post! And I don't even own an XJ anymore, lol! Great work! When I started reading the thread I got excited since I'm stationed in Germany (Grafenwoehr) and headed to Ramstein for two weeks for...

I never saw (and just re-skimmed the thread) where you worked on the tonau (spelling, ACK!) cover for the trailer. I know you have skills but I just can't see you sitting at a sewing machine zipping one out! lol! Did you have it made custom or graft a couple ones together or..? How did the...

deep dreath... Once you replace the "zombie" for despairate human trying to survive following the economic crash you may see how not-out-of-line these threads are. I'm not one of the consp. theory guys or the doomsday is coming folks.. I just prefer to be prepared. And since the US's economy...

thanks for all the feedback! I'm likely going to be either in Afganistan or still here in Germany for the next couple years but this show seems a must do. I have a 50s era Bantam civy trailer that will be getting a make over whenever I make it home. Been making really slow progress on my expo...
