    skinning a lid

    Planning on making a lid for my M416 once I finish up some projects on the Jeep and am curious how you guys have actually skinned your lids. I'm planning on a 1"x2" exterior frame (2" vertical) and 1"x1" cross bars with a 16-18 gauge sheet across the top. Are you guys just cutting the sheet to...

    quick moab trip

    Pam and I went to Moab for the holiday weekend. Didn't do any real wheeling but checked out some scenery. Baby Lions Back Little bit of ice/water on the backside We tried starting out on Fins, but being by ourselves and not aired down or anything it wasn't going too well, but we did see...

    Tour de Colorado 2009

    I've been wanting to do a big trip like this for a long time now, and was finally able to make it happen. We covered a lot of miles, a lot of sweet trails, and had an amazing time. We were all exhausted, and quite smelly, by the end of the trip. Noah (rubbersidedown) and Justin (ColoradoXJ)...

    tweaked a-frame/tongue on M416

    So last weekend we took our M416 out on its maiden voyage. It worked freaking great. Couldn't be happier with its performance outside of the smoothie it made out of our cooler, that was mostly my fault for putting the cooler in the wrong spot and really pushing the trailer. Anyways, towards...

    coolers/fridges in trailers

    What do you guys do to keep things from getting bounced around a lot in the cooler/fridge besides going really slow? We had our Coleman steel belted cooler in our M416 this weekend and it ended up making a slushie of ice, beer, soda, chicken, brats, and eggs that ended up coming out the top of...

    Big Dave's M416 Build

    Big Dave's M416 Build (stage 1 done, w/ pics) Well, I did it. Wasn't really planning on it, but found this rust bucket on CraigsList for $350. Everything's straight and relatively unmolested as best I can tell. Fair amount of rust up top, but looked very solid underneath. May have to patch a...

    M416 vs M101 vs ????

    Found a trailer for sale on CL locally, very vague description but based on price I doubt it's an M416, but something along those lines. I'm hoping to go look at it tonight after work since the price is definitely right as long as it isn't a rust bucket. I don't have any set plans for a...

    Quick Fists to hold axle/drive shafts??

    Anybody tried this? The majority of my wheeling time is spent on trails where breakage can and will happen and I was thinking Quick Fists could help me keep my spare shafts from flying around all over the place. I currently keep my spare shaft stuffed kinda under the backseat in my ZJ, but...

    my rig(s)

    Here's my ZJ. Originally had it going down the road of dedicated trailer queen and was building towards the upper end of rock crawling. The hard stuff is still fun, but I really enjoy the exploration aspect of where a vehicle like this can take me, so some things have been getting changed to...
