Voyage of The Black Gypsy

Nice looking Axle.

Thanks! Truss was welded on by Harley at Twisted Off-road and sent out for sandblasting & powder coating.

Installing the half doors was straightforward as I’d hope. Now I can drive to Moab with them on and easily pull them off before hitting the trails. Waiting for the upper doors to be shipped.




I know it doesn’t make sense to remove the hardtop and doors to be stored away for the upcoming winter but hey, I drive a Jeep!

Got the upper doors today

They still need to be fitted. Ordered a fuel transfer pump to empty the gas tank so I can start installing the tank skid. When that’s in, I’ll start on the rear axle.

After siphoning the gas from the tank, I was able to lower the rusted out skid and support the tank with a strap. There was enough dried mud and sand trapped by the skid and tank to almost fill a 5 gallon bucket


Now that the new skid is in

I can start installing the rear axle
