    Hiding/concealing license plates

    Hi all, Here's a question. I see it quite frequently. Folks shoot pics/vids of their Jeep, motorcycle, autocross car, etc etc, but they blur/hide/distort the license plate. Why? I mean, I drive among thousands of other vehicles a week and they can all see it, so it's a pretty public thing...

    What was done to your rig this week?

    Jam nuts

    Hello all, I'm about to upgrade my rear suspension from a Rock Krawler 2.5" Max Travel set-up to the RK X Factor. Here's where I need advice. The jam nuts require 200 foot pounds of torque. Any tips on tightening a jam nut that tight without ruining the finish by using a vice? Kevin Sent...

    show your sunrise/sunset pictures

    I DID NOT TAKE THIS! haha George Kalilikane, of Nanakuli, Hawai'i took this one (if you ever visit O'ahu, look him up. He offers free lessons for Stand-up Paddle board in Waianae). Anyway, I thought this was one of the best pics I have seen in a long time: However, I DID take this one...

    What did Brown Santa show up with today..

    I told the driver, "You know, the entire Jeep community calls UPS driver's "Brown Santa" because you wear a brown uniform, drive a brown truck, and bring us stuff!" LOL And here's what he brought! King Bump stops and rear UCAs. Now I gotta get with Da Runt about how he pushed his rear axle...

    Peaked and tuned CB

    Maybe why the dude here has his on a Suburban? The entire interior of the thing is ripped out and it's lined with batteries. Pretty beastly, in the CB world anyway.

    Peaked and tuned CB

    He said I could with my Jeep. He sold me a Monkey Made MM-6 antenna and said he could work on a Cobra 29 for my Jeep to make me talk to California and Australia. It is an awesome concept and a temptation (calling for emergency help in an area with no phone service almost makes it worth it)...

    Peaked and tuned CB

    There is a dude here who does that kind of stuff to radios. He can sit in his Suburban and talk to Australia. From Oahu. It's nuts. Anyway, he said that very few radios actually transmit 4 watts out of the box. He does tune and tweak radios to bring them up to that limit and to keep it...

    Sitting pretty and flexing shots with stats....please

    I'll play even though the pics in this thread make me feel like a freshman! haha This is when Li'l Green was christened as such: Then, the name became a bit of tongue-in-cheek: And the requested flex shot: As for specifics: RK 2.5" Max Travel Bilstein 5160s 2" spacers Pro Comp XMT...

    Am I being too sensitive?

    I know I can count on you guys to shoot straight, so I have a question. A couple of times on the island, I have had guys in well-built Jeeps overtly blow me off. The latest example: I was on an exit, saw a well built Jeep a couple hundred meters behind me. He quickly made his way through the...

    Had a thought about the "My Rig" tab on profile

    Hello! Is there a way to enable a picture to be uploaded under the "My Rig" tab on our profiles? Granted, several of us have pics as avatars or whatever, but for those that do not, it would be a cool addition, I think. Then, when I stalk people's profiles, I can see what their Jeep looks...

    Who are you?

    So, what do I look like? That's the question, right? Okay. I realized how very few pictures there are of me taken recently in which I'm not wearing a scuba mask, so this actually took some digging. :) Here I am "rescuing" my buddy during the PADI Rescue Diver Course Here I am with two of...

    (Besides Jeeps) What else are you into?

    I'm pretty into scuba diving (I'm a rescue diver with one specialty left to get my master certification), hiking, sitting on the beach, and running. Most of all, I like hanging out with my wife. We've been married for almost 27 years. I do other things to burn off stress, but she's the center...
