    Differentials and lockers: experiences and recommendations

    I've owned several off road vehicles over the past 40 years with pretty much every option of traction added differentials. All I can comment on is my personal experiences. Detroit Lockers: I've had them in my Jeep CJ 7 as well as a couple of my past Early Broncos. Harsh but tolerable on...

    Camp Photos!

    I'm in the market for a new tent. The shiftpod looks like it's top notch. How do you like it?

    Biking while overlanding!

    I'm a surfer and a mountain biker first and foremost. To me, that is what makes overland travel so great as it gets me to the awesome places to do what I really love doing. I carry my bikes on a receiver mounted Yakima Rack. Check out www.bikesdirect.com They have several decent entry...

    Show me your kitchen slideout setup

    My company makes a line of extremely high quality pullout kitchens which are a universal fit for SUV's and Vans. If you're looking for vehicle specific units, I highly recommend Goose-gear and Pullkitchen. Both are top notch quality and given what goes into each unit, are priced extremely...

    1984 CJ7 Build - My new project

    Update... I spent New Years weekend swapping parts from my old rusted out Jeep to my new rust free jeep. Swapped out the good hood to replace the dented hood, took the hard top and doors and moved them over too. Next week it all goes to the body shop for paint!

    Thanks for the update Jesse. I'll be towing a military trailer behind my CJ-7 (giving the Bronco a rest this time). I hope it's up for the task!

    Mojave Road 12/27-30

    I'm considering doing the same trip around the same time. Do you think there are any concerns in regards to the current "Stay at Home order"?

    1984 CJ7 Build - My new project

    Blue Jeep: I'm going to pull the Roof, Doors and seats and maybe a few small items this week. The 4.2L Howell injected engine, T-18 trans, 300 transfer case, front 30 and rear 20 will stay on the frame. My buddy is going to lengthen it and put his old Willy's Overland Wagon on it. Prior...

    1984 CJ7 Build - My new project

    Rainy day... what do you?? I got busy in the garage and installed my new wider fender flares. My goal was to contain the tires within the fenders to give it a more old school tucked look. Success! Also purchased back my old CJ7 that my wife and I originally purchased brand new in 1985. I...

    Nice forum - planning Moab>Rubicon trip in June 2021 - Jeep JL 2dr

    I just checked out your website (Blog). Nice build and awesome trips!! I've been through the Rubicon over 60 times.. My recommendation for sustainability (specific to the Rubicon) is pack like you are going backpacking. The lighter you keep your jeep the easier it will be on your...

    1984 CJ7 Build - My new project

    Back to my roots... I decided that it is time to give my 68 Bronco a much needed rest and save it more for weekend trips to the beach and get a jeep to tow behind the motor home and overland travel. Here is my new to me 84 Jeep CJ-7. It's already well equipped with the venerable 258...
