    Busy day today. Picked up the flex joints and was able to get the front lowers in. The rears I'll tackle in the morning. Soft top is on, wheels and tires are on. Toning down is pretty much complete. From my original to do list the only thing left are the bumpers and I'm not as concerned with...

    I regret to inform that taking the LJ to Baja to meet the in-laws was nixed because I didn't notice that my front track bar was hitting the diff cover until the day before we left. I'm super chapped about it. We all 3 piled into the econobox and are currently in central california about to...

    Tire sizes.. oh the possibilities

    Duratracs will probably be my next set but I got too good of a deal on the MTRs to pass up. I like your JKU by the way. It's got a nice middle of the road feel. Most of the JK's I see these days are bone stock or running D60's with 37's.

    Tire sizes.. oh the possibilities

    Wound up going with 285 75 16. Relatively common and easy to replace. Here they are compared to 315 75's

    4" springs finally went on today. I'm kicking myself for not realizing the rear axle was too far back after i had already left the shop. Now that I'm back home with limited equipment I'm fixing to do something really dumb with my winch to remedy the situation. The lower height rides ALOT nicer...

    I know, ultimately decided we'll be taking my jeep. Leaving it at her cousins north of the border and renting a car to go to mexicali. I'm still uneasy about it.anyhoo here's the new cleats. Hopefully I can get the Moab wheels here and mounted before the trip!

    Military welder/gen trailer in Utah

    Just found this browsing through today. I personally don't have 8 grand to drop on something like this but I'm sure someone out there does :) http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=29188984&cat=&lpid=&search=jeep&ad_cid=1

    So I'm picking up some fairly new MTR's on Monday. Getting all 5 for a really good price. Getting rid of the hard top for a soft top and moab wheels this week as well. With all of that said, we're taking a trip to California to see some family soon and will be dipping down into Mexicali for a...

    Whoa. Most places do AD discount but veterans? That's cool. Was it significant?

    Strange, I didn't think pre-production cars had vins.

    Tire sizes.. oh the possibilities

    I think the 255 85 16 may be a winner winner. I've done some eyeballing and with the 5.5" springs replaced with 4" around the same time I put tires on it should actually fit about perfect. It may turn a little higher RPM but that's why I have 6 gears right?

    Mountain Biking in Hurricane, Utah and Grafton, Utah Exploration

    Amazing photos! I'll have to put this on my list of stuff to explore this summer. How far of a drive is this from say Lehi/provo?

    Tire sizes.. oh the possibilities

    I've noticed ALOT of 17" JK wheels going up for sale around here lately. I should have tires and brakes by the end of the month when I get back from Indiana. I'm keeping those as an option but I'm budgeting $1200 for tires out of my bonus so we'll see where I'm at with that, maybe I can snag a...

    I know his brother has a JK and he had mentioned starting building JK stuff last summer. When I get home I can look up his number. HOWEVER I've discovered that the bushings don't like to be abused much and the paint didn't stand up very well to road salt. I'm looking into throwing metal cloak...

    Between now and late march when I buy tires and brakes here is my daily carry on. I'm a minimalist by nature so when I'm not camping I don't carry much more. I seriously recommend carrying at least all of this. I've used everything at one time or another from witnessing several crashes to...
