Even though it was probably one of the clunkiest setups I've had, There's alot of good memories in this setup. This was in early 2014, In the woods in Flagstaff. I was a volunteer at Overland Expo that year.
Although it's a messy setup, the things that make it so memorable is the fact that...
I spend a lot of my free time on YouTube, when I'm not out doin' my thing in the Jeep, I'm wishing I was. The nice thing about where I'm located is, I'm a hop-skip-and-jump away from anywhere in Arizona, and most of Nevada and California. I like watching wheeling videos, and trip videos. Pretty...
I've been curious about fitting a panel or to to Pegasus, and have done a TON of research. I'd like to set it up on a "reverse charge" or, charging the secondary battery first, since it takes the beef of the useage when she's parked. The one major thing that I've found in my research is that...
So, today I popped the headlight assemblies off for the fifth time this year, to finish the LED swap. Everyone interested in swapping to LEDS, I reccomend checking out superbrightleds.com , their quality is excellent, and usually their prices (although they charge per bulb) are generally much...
No. I have the Wi-Fi only model, so I cache everything to my MicroSD beforehand.
While I'm at it, I'll throw all the app links in. I know you were asking him to link his, but these are handy anywho.
CopilotUSA (they have different versions for different regions) It's worth the $35(?) bucks-...
I feel ya. I'm not much of a fan of having 40 different devices which all do different things, so this seemed like a natural evolution from my phone, which I already used for music. I started with a 2012 Asus Nexus 7, which was...alright I suppose. Many people will tell you that the 1st gen...
I agree! I've owned an 88 XJ, and a 94 ZJ before this rig. This is my favorite because it is overall very rigid and durable, but also very comfortable without sacrificing capability.
It's a beastly little tab. I run Google play music and Torque most of the time, but for maps I use 2 apps: Copilot (on road) and Gaia GPS (Off Road) Both are solid GPS apps. Copilot uses a vectored GPS-esque map that only downloads once (and you can load it to your SD CARD!) and Gaia has plenty...
I am working on getting all of the marker lights moved over to LED. Hopefully that'll be done sometime tomorrow.
I was finishing up my taillights, converting them over to LED, adding the resistor to the blinker circuit... or so I thought.
You see those 3 wires sticking out of the bottom of...
No we are to only recently. I began the crusade to relocate the washer fluid bottle. On WJs, it dangles down in the wheel well, asking to get messed up or ripped off completely. I know in Utah last year I pulled the pumps out of the bottle by flexing, so it would be wise to relocate the bottle...
My 44a skit arrived! I did something Cheeky to it:
Now, you are probably thinking, "Why would you do such a thing?" It's actually something of a joke I'm going to play on NAU 4x4 when we go to Moab in a few weeks. Someone always sicks a GoPro in "The Wedgie" on Poison Spider Mesa, and you get...
So, shortly after, I set off on one of the most nerve racking mods I've ever done. Trimming, and folding the fenders. Oh boy. Quite a 2 day job. First you cut relief cuts, then bend 'em in carefully. Then you seal them in, which helps make the fender rigid again, and paint the bare metal...
Now, you've seen on other pictures that I had my spare up on the rack. Truth is, I hated it up there I HATED it up there. It's difficult to get to, and could be really dangerous if it ever got loose. For Christmas I received a Fabcore tire carrier. I paired it with a JKS license plate mount to...
Then, other, less planned things happened! I sold the BFGs to a good friend in need of a new set of tires, and jumped larger myself.
I went with Kanati Trail Hog A/Ts at 265/75/16.
So far, pretty impressed with these.
Both now have well suited tires!
Meanwhile, my Headlights were foggy and useless, and the bulbs were failing. I made the decision to upgrade to a projector style assembly, and try to convert all bulbs (including high and low beam) to LED. Normally the projector style assemblies are for HID bulbs, but the idea of re-directing...
Getting into shenanigans with NAU 4x4 in my neck of the woods made me realize that I should probably invest in more armor. I already had IRO's super-beefy T-case skid installed, but the V8 WJ's have a Dana 44 variant, the 44a, in the rear. this version uses a mushy aluminum center housing. One...
Then after a long, adventure with Offroad Passport to Safford, AZ, and Mt. Graham,
(Pictures at 9,000Ft!)
(coming down the mountain)
(tablet in non-nav mode, working well!)
Anyways, after an adventurous trip, Pegasus got herself a pair of Quick Disconnects for the front sway bar!
This is the part of the build where things take an... interesting turn. I replaced the Jeep's stock, dying infinity amp with a Rockford Fosgate Punch 300x4 Supercompact 300watt amp. With the doors powered by the amp, I had the dash running off of the Head Unit. I still had 2 channels not being...
