I will as well. Hell, my newest vehicle and a daily driver is a nearly 28-year-old Jeep XJ ha. My oldest is a 76ish year old CJ2A. I'm not getting rid of them anytime soon. But I wouldn't mind an affordable little EV to get back and forth to work in.

Replaced all the radiator and heater lines. All still marked with "DOM 05/95". I can't believe these things lasted almost 30 years without failing and needing to be replaced.

Mostly agreed, but we are seeing those advancements, regardless of how they're coming about at this point. There's not much I can do to control what the gov is doing past what I already do at the ballot box and the emails I send to those I vote on. I think one of our biggest hurdles now is...

How much had we invested in battery tech between then and now? We've really only started to push for advancements in battery/power storage tech at the consumer level in the past 20 years or so, and that conincides with our expanded increase in reliance on technology that needs to be portable...

I use this analogy all the time. Our refueling infrastructure didn't pop up overnight. It took decades to get to the point of having a gas station on nearly every corner. It will take a similar amount of time (probably less in reality) to get electric infrastructure to that point. It's...

Troubleshot the 4wd indicator on the YJ. Everything I can test checks out. Bulb is good, vacuum switch is good, power at the connector and ground is good, trying to think of how I would test that circuit in the gauge panel itself, as it has that paper thin printed circuit thing on the back of...

Got the blower motor working. It's been inop since I got the Jeep but with winter here, I figured it's time to get'er done. For whatever reason that I couldn't find, the blower/ac fuse on the fuse panel is not getting power. Everything I could think to check is where it should be, but for...

Pretty much wrapped up on the YJ's cargo/sleep platform. At this point, it's just testing and tweaking as needed, and maybe a test sleep one night. I also added tie downs to the fender boxes for the "house battery" and the folding table. The folding table is the reason the box is offset...

If you're having to scrub your cast iron that much after cooking, you're doing it wrong.

I love dogs but I feel like taking them on trips is like taking small children. They can't feed themselves, they require constant looking after to make sure they don't wind up somewhere they shouldn't be or lost, and it kind of sucks the fun out of traveling for me. However, if you bring a dog...

I use a cast Iron griddle but have thought of doing just 2 small 10 inch cast iron pans with the handles cut off for storage purposes.

No pictures today. Welded in 21, 1"x1.5" tabs to attach the side panels to and support the lids. And cut the side panels with some plywood I found in my attic. Not enough plywood to cut the lids yet and I don't have the hinges for the main portion of the box. The front portion will not be hinged.

Extension done. Now to put some hinges on main portion and mount the plywood lids, and sides........as soon as I can get some plywood

Started a cargo box/sleeping platform project on the YJ. I'd like to be able to take this out on solo trips comfortably while also cutting down on some of the gear I carry, such as my large tent. Got the frame and mounting tabs for the cargo portion done today. Tomorrow I'll build the frame (if...

I put both of mine in there, separated by a "/" You can see the whole thing by hovering your mouse over my HAM callsign,

Not today but 2 days ago I replaced the worn out OEM seats in the YJ with Corbeau MOABs. I was hoping that they would work without fuss on the factory seat brackets. The passenger side works great but the driver's side while they bolt to the stock brackets/rails sits far too high in the thigh...

Pulled the lunchbox locker out of the D35 (Previous owner installed) and installed a new set of open diff spider gears.

Limit strap. Or an XJ style bump stop that goes through the center of the spring.

Did the ball joints and U-joints on the YJ's front axle. Was a 2 part project due to finding the u-joints absolutely trashed when I went to do the ball joints and I only had one spare 760X ujoint on the shelf. When I completed the job yesterday I found out I must have not been paying attention...
