Welcome! I'm right down the road in Gonzales/Prairieville. It's a bummer that there's really not much good wheeling in these parts

If my wife wouldn't kill me for doing it, I'd love to take on a similar projects. She's got it in her head that I can't do both a frame-off restoration AND rebuild an XJ. Something about we need to be able to pay for groceries. Also, I love the headliner. Dang slick!

Dang, that sounds like one heck of a fun truck! Quite a sleeper until you cold start it I bet lol

Welcome back! I'm enjoying having the time at home with the wife, just spending a little too much time staring at the jeep plotting out my next mods. How's everything on your side of the boot?

Looks like a pretty fun trail! How many permitted areas does it pass through? From what I understand Elgin requires some sort of permit, but I've never been so I don't know the ins and outs of it

My buddy in college was super into backpacking and invited my now wife and I on a trip to the local national forest. After that, we were pretty hooked on camping in general and got a bunch of the superlight camping gear. Probably did that for about 3 years or so, then I started getting into...

I convinced my wife that starting a YouTube channel was a great idea and bought a Pansonic G9 to compliment our G85 and lenses that we already had for it. Also grabbed me a new Viair 300P and one of those Android head units with the huge screen so I can run GaiaGPS without a tablet. What's...

Sure enough, that was probably me! I think I was there to pick up either a cabinet or an air compressor, and I definitely rushed a hearty hello to a OB member in a 4runner. I also tend to see your rig on 44 on my way home from work fairly often I believe. I've got some parts coming in that I...

You could give a hitch mounted tire swingout a try, or if you really wanted to spend some coing you could get a full rear bumper. Not sure if they sell them for the Cherokees, though. I know the Grand Cherokee market is pretty dry for bumpers, and the ones that exist are both expensive and not...

Looking good! Before you plan too much on putting the tire up on the roof, you should probably try to lift it up over your head first. I was planning on doing that myself, but it was 100% a 2 person job to do it. Then again I'm 6' and 150lbs, so it wouldn't take much to be able to out lift me...

Hey y'all! I figured its high time I started keeping track of what I'm doing to my JGC somewhere, and what better place than here! I've named the car the Sola Grand after my YouTube and Instagram pages, Sola Outdoors. Vehicle: 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 (WK2) Tires: 275/70R18 Cooper...

Good to hear, I've got a couple spots marked for easy riding that I'll hit up. My usual wheeling buddy is in danger of a lay off so he's sitting this one out. I'll chock it up to another reason my wife needs to let me get a winch lol

Has anyone ran through Kisatchie since the quarantine hit? We were planning on headed out there this weekend to take advantage of the weather. Kind of worried about there being somewhat of a crowd with everyone trying to social distance in the woods

That's an interesting problem, hadn't considered that as an issue before but will soon be for me. Do you have a drawer system in your vehicle or only the Molle panels? I ask because I think it may be easier to build a small partition in a drawer with a non-skid mat from a tool box under...

Phase 1 is complete! I installed my Phoenix radio and have it tweaked to about 85% of how I want it. The stock GUI that came with it was pretty bad and couldn't be customized, so I ditched it in favor of FCC Car Launcher. I was planning on flashing a different ROM to it, but there is no support...
