So i just got back from camping/exploring for the last 8 days. I put 350 miles on my rig w/o touching the pavement and saw some beautiful country. Will have pics up tomorrow as i need to download them all. My JCR sliders were here waiting for me when i got home. Hope to have em installed this week along w the IRO belly skid. Will put up pics before and after. Please stay tuned.

Good for you man, I cant wait to get out again !!Oh ya. There are several thousand miles of dirt roads and 2 tracks up here in Maine to explore and awesome fishing, camping to boot. I try to get out as much as i can which is why my zj isnt finished. Oh well are they ever? None of mine have been. We might be adding another zj to the stable this week. I will letcha know.
So i went and looked at a 1996 ZJ today and came home w it. Its a really clean rig w no body rust. Has a Rubicon Express budget boost w shocks, new Prothane bushings from front to rear, fully loaded/power everything incl drivers seat, 31 ats, alot of recent new parts. Its got the inline 6 and the part time/full time t case along w full skid plate package. Its been completely undercoated. I can fit my 32 in Swamper Tsls w/o rubbing. So needless to say shes goin to be my new expo rig. Its also got the orvis interior. So now i get to change everything over and install my sliders and other armor. I will get pics up hopefully tomorrow. Please stay tuned. And its got 60k miles less than my current rig.

New jeep looks sweet, that is my favorite color too.
I added another shelf to my cargo/storage area along w a softcase that holds 2 20oz water bottles. I also used 2 atv rack gun mounts and modified them to mount to the wall of the cargo area behind the rear seat to store my awning and tent poles. The awning stores in a bag under the poles. It all came out alright. Here are a few pics. Also a few pics of the engine.

Hey love the new zj! Neat rig, like the idea of the 4.0 over the 5.2. Both engines are great none the less. Can't wait to see where this one goes! You should swap the bumper from yer silver zj ove to this one.
