    TEASER VIDEO : HEART & SOUL - A Moab Jeep Vacation

    Crap. It ended. Well, at least I've got time now to go get popcorn before the full-length feature comes out. Looks to be a 5-star event! My guesstimate, 2-part feature. 1 being 27 minutes, the other 23. :)

    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    Garmin 590LM I've been using Garmin for 11 years now. Currently I'm using the 590LM. If you have a Garmin unit already, they have a great upgrade program for existing owners. If the Sales team doesn't have your model on their list, contact Support--they have a longer (older) list. In my case...

    Jeep dogs!!!

    Tigger! Quick shot of Tigger this morning. She's a real crowd pleaser. Need to make some more photographs with her and the Jeep. She goes everywhere with me in it on the weekend. I've not taken her on any wheeling though. I've been concerned, big dog, how much she might/not enjoy it. I've...

    WIN a FISHBONE Jeep JK or TJ/YJ Front Bumper!

    What Brought Me: Videos | What's Kept Me: Group's Value Howdy Folks! Definitely could use a new bumper :). This past week, ground the front right bumper against a pretty good-sized boulder, and, it just doesn't look the same any more. Next round of major upgrades includes bumpers and winch...

    NEW Jeep JL Wrangler SPY SHOTS - Removable Hard Top Panels & Side Steps

    Yet Another JL Cloke-of-Stealth Driving north on I-75 around 9a, yesterday, heading to Rocks & Valleys. I have to hand it to FCA. Normally when we're this close to a release, there've been photos already, and pre-production units are seen in the region without covers. We're just ~3 months...

    Longer Sway Bar End Links

    I put a leveling lift on last year. It'll be later this Summer before bumpers and winch go on, so instead of raising her front 2", it was 3" effective. I went with the EVO links, 7.5"-8.9"7.5-8.9", fully collapsed to 7.5". When the bumper/winch go on this season, I expect I'll have to go down...

    Hi Lift Jack

    Reading thru the thread, I'd forgotten about bumper jacks. Only saving grace was you didn't have to get on the ground to use. Never liked using them though. Had to jack the car to Heaven before the wheel came up even in good conditions. Just made the decision for me. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Not All Brake Lines Are Alike

    Wasn't sure anyone would be interested;) Here's my wife's new pup, Freyja: Tigger, the large one, and my baby, just turned 7.

    Not All Brake Lines Are Alike

    About a month ago I installed stainless steel brake lines, sourced from Rock Auto. I wasn't impressed with their 'wimpy' appearance, but they seemed Ok enough. There were 3 particular concerns I had. 1) the front lines were 1.5-2" shorter than OEM. Having installed a leveling lift it was a...

    Suggested Sources for Stainless Brakes Lines?

    Howdy, Did a google search of the site, didn't find anything. Curious if there is a recommended source for stainless brake lines? I installed a set from Rockauto. I have a '15 JKU w/ EVO leveling lift. So no drama in brake line length. However the Rockauto set was about 1.5-2" shorter than...

    Sno*Blind 2017 Kicks Off

    Thanks for asking. Been so busy, I stashed them away...had a blast...didn't take a whole lot. With this one, we struggle with the classic 'flattening' of the slope when taking a pic. Coming toward us it ramped up to about 30 deg incline while doing a 90 deg turn. I ended up losing my own rear...

    Fords rock the desert like no jeep can

    This sort of thing just leaves me shaking my head. Must just be me. I hate needlessly abusing my equipment. Almost weekly, literally, one of the groups I belong to has a shot like this one. Sometimes the same person more than once. Mud is cool they say. They dunk their jeep (this pic is before...

    VIDEO : CALAMITY JANE - A Calamity No More / Our Jeep CJ5 Renegade Completed [Part 7]

    Top drawer production. Had been waiting for the final edition. Even having watched it, still hard to appreciate it really is the same CJ-5. Thanks for sharing :)! Of course, I really have to just shake my head and wonder about the 7 folks that did a thumbs-down on YouTube. Just goes to show...

    Coworker's Eyeballs

    There're two of us with Jeeps at work. A coworker of ours is big on these jiggly things. Not uncommon for someone to come back from lunch/vacation/bathroom, and find their office covered with them in different sizes. I think you'd call it a fetish. Well, yesterday he nailed my buddy's Jeep...

    JK Stock Right Rear Fender Falre

    JK Stock Right Rear Fender Flare Somehow, last weekend, going through a ravine I managed to stuff snow in the right-rear door handle, completely peel off the right-rear fender flare as clean as if I'd gone in with tools, yet not touch paint. So, need a JK right-rear fender flare. Somewhere in...

    Sno*Blind 2017 Kicks Off

    As night falls, about a dozen rigs in the lot. Dodge Rams are clearly tow vehicle of choice for those who trailered. Registration couldn't have gone smoother. About 106 rigs expected and 220 for the dinner events. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Sno*Blind 2017 Kicks Off

    Sno*Blind, hosted by Mud Chuggers in Michigan, is about to kick off. Arriving early, have grabbed a seat in the lobby to watch, greet, chat with folks. This is one of my favorite parts of an event, meeting new folks, greeting others, and watching what parks under the portico. Shucks, even...

    4k & jkx

    Consolidated from two conventionally res'd, but mismatched computer monitors today, to a single 43" 4K TV. Already does wonders for screen real estate and photo editing. It, also, does wonders for watching JKX vids. The TV upscales the already high-quality JKX vids very nicely. Have to say...
