    AEV JK rack is up on Quadratec

    I was reading up on this rack on AEV forum. They stated you can remove the freedom pannels with it on. and one of the resons to keep it short is it keeps the front of the rack out of the wind and it keeps the noise and drag down. I was looking at this rack and a few others. I want to haul a...

    Vintage Jeep/Willys Question

    I have restored many Willys MB/ Ford Gpw. I love them. and I love them stock. There is just somwthing about the smell of the canvas, the whine of the engine and tranny. The fact that you go 50 max makes you take your time to think and look around. Since I don't drive freeways I get to find...

    aev worth it?

    I have seen accident reports and pictures of arb bumpers. but this is the first I have seen pictures of AEV with accident report. First off I love AEV's products. the fit and finish are second to none. I got lucky and got most of my AEV products second hand off craigslist. But they are worth...

    2011 Wrangler rollout this summer

    easter eggs on the windshield? that jeep grill is not what the grill looked like on the origional 1941. nor any wwii jeep for that matter. even the jokers at jeep don't know what they are talking about. The origional 1941 willys mb grill was a slat grill. Ford invented the 9 slat stamped sheet...

    My Bantam Trailer Build

    The rims on your trailer are combat rims. Don't just throw them out when you replace your wheels with modern tires. A WWII jeep restorer will kill for those wheels. they are hard to find.

    Classic jeep resto: CJ5 or flat fender?

    if you like the military, go for a WWII jeep. if you are looking at keeping it 100% stock that is. they hold their value, fairly well. There are lots of resources for parts. I do have to say the m-38 is a really nice jeep. may be alittle odd ball. but you can source parts for them just fine...

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    I did not like the 12v plug on the back of the fridge. tye are cheap and break easily. I replaced with a powerpole connector. These are some of the highest rated connectors on the market. I have some that have been in use for over 15 years and still work. You can pick up powerpole connectors at...

    From the origional build spec in an article in 4wd and sport utility this jeep used a 2" spacer with the mopar steel wheel. This is the same thing you need to do if you mount 35" tires on the stock rubicon wheels. from what i have come up with. The Jeep in question is now running AEV savegre...

    Lunette Needed

    I don't trust the strength of the cast repro. especially on a Dump trailer that will haul rock and has zero suspension. all that shock will go into the lunette. a cast lunette made out of steel from who knows where doesn't sould like a good idea. $200 bucks for that seems steep.:sombrero: I...

    Trailer Lid idea

    I'm interested in a lid. I have a Cnd M101 I will measure tonight. I have been playing with making a lid for it and moving my tent from my WWII Bantam to the M-101. thing is it has to be removable and support a RTT. I use my trailer way to much on the weekends hauling stuff from home depot. But...

    jk pop top?

    I think you need to provide 3 acess points. 1 in the back, 1 over the drivers side rear seat, as that can be folded down and cargo in back can be left intact. and possible ladder from outside. I always liked this camper. but it is not on a jeep. if your camper top looks and functions like this I...

    Diesel Wrangler in 2010!

    I am disapointed that we can't get a diesel in the wrangler. I love my 2007. and doubt I could afford to upgrade. I know I couldn't but I had hoped that if they came out with the diesel, when my 3.8L finally went I would replace it with the diesel out of a new one and be able to get it legal in...
