Does anyone know of Jeep Clubs, and off-road areas in the Tyler/Longview area of Texas? Also, maintenance and repair shops? Thanks

Going to San Diego after the Calif 300, and planning a stop at Pismo/Oceano Dunes on the way back home. Can you still drive on the beach/dunes? What are the best options for off-roading? Any other suggestions for the area? Thanks

Anyone using Garmin Map Share? If so, which device is it paired to? Is it reliable, what are the major complaints? Thanks

Anyone set up a dual alternator on a Chevy 350/383? If so, which mount - bought or built? Thanks

I tried - unsuccessfully, to post a video of an old Hit & Miss engine running at my nephew' yard sale. Don't know if anyone would be interested, but it's a cool old engine and it sounds great. I could email the video if someone is interested in either seeing or posting it.

OK, here's the details and pictures of the roll-over on "High-Dive" this past April at Moab. I was on the trail "Behind The Rocks" with a group of very experienced drivers, extremely capable rigs, and an excellent spotter. This was my 3rd trip to Moab, and honestly I had avoided this trail in...

The Good: "Hey, your jeep is kinda cool - has anyone done an article about it?" Those were the words of photo-journalist Mercedes Lilienthal, when we met at Moab this past April. The result of that meeting is a multi page article in this month's issue of "Tread". Complete with pictures, it...

I am looking for either an M38A1 or early CJ5 windshield frame. My Safari Windshield took the brunt of my rollover at Moab; and though we are considering repair, the quickest solution to returning to the road would be a replacement. All offers will be considered. Thank you

I have a set of auto-deflators, but they don't always hit the preset value. There are quite a few devices available, both auto and manual - which one would be the best? Thank you

I have a rebuilt/modified - new gears, upgraded motor - 8274 mounted on my jeep. The jeep weighs approximately 5,000lbs. I slid sideways off a fire trail when a section of the cut broke away. We got a chain back to one of the dozers to keep my jeep from sliding the rest of the way down the...

Thinking of going to Death Valley over the Thanksgiving holiday; any suggestions on trails or any organized runs? Thanks

The boys in the shop either figured I was getting too old, got tired of watching me climb up via a tire, got concerned I'd break another leg getting out of it - or all three; but they replaced the tube rock sliders with electrically actuated "concealed" steps from Rock-slide. They look good and...

Safari windshield rebuilt and installed on my 1953 M38A1.

The end to a years long search draws near. Since seeing one years ago, I have been searching for a Safari Windshield. I understand they are also referred to as an Export or Ventilated Windshield. Through the generosity of my friend Frank E., I was given a (mostly) complete restorable example...

With the transition to 40's and off-set wheels, practically the entire width of each tire is completely outside the fenders/body. I stay off the freeways, but still have the occasional drive by encounter with local police, sheriff, and CHP. Although I have not been stopped, I figure it's just...

We are experiencing some issues with a Holley Sniper system and are wondering if anyone else is having the same problems. The Sniper is installed on a Chevy 383. The two issues are: (1) erratic idle - the system will work fine, then when you release the throttle the idle will not return to...

Well, after 4 years of modifying, trial and error, "Why didn't you this?", and education - so I could answer "Why didn't you do this?" I think I am at the end of major modifications. I will not rule out changes to creature comforts. The latest changes were: engine - out with the 350, in...

I decided to try Maxxis "Sticky" Treps, so we put a set on for this year's EJS in Moab. All I can say is - wow. Those things stick like glue. Once you get them up to temp - you feel like Spider-man. Of course, they stick to the highway and garage floor as well. I was going to leave them on...

I am currently running 37" Treps on Hutchinson bead locks. I air down to 8 psi for crawling on hard rock. At Rubicon, Fordyce, and Moab - I experience the same problem - sliding on off-camber sections. I am considering going to creepy crawlers. Has anyone had this same problem? What did you...

Any suggestions/advice - do's or don'ts, for roll-bar mounted lights? Thanks, g
