Nah the east side is alright. Just seems most members are located over there.

Someone not from the east side of the state. Greetings.

Keep this in mind if you think about doing the interior. https://raybuck.com/bed-liner-inside-truck-cab/ it could give you health problems.

Ah the fresh snow today makes it a memory game driving to work as it hides all the craters in the roads. :expressionless:

All those young jeeps with those new fangled removable tops and doors. :grin: Back in my Jeeps day they had 9 foot beds and a 3/4 ton rating factory. 1958 Jeep FC-170 (in progress)

Heat and A/C mounted up now I know what space I have for the center engine cover and tunnel. I can't wait to get all the metal work done and have the cab sandblasted.

You need a really loud ticking wall clock in the shop. Works wonders for not letting you lose track of exactly how much longer something is taking than you thought it would. (I have one) :grimacing:

A second thought is possibly have them with front facing adhesive so they can be installed on the inside of the window?

Make sure on the UV resistance or they will fade out like the first round of overland bound stickers did. I second the gray or darker colors .

Glad no one was seriously hurt. Had that been me the Raptor driver probably would have been pulled from his wanna be baja rig and give a few extra bumps and bruises just to make sure he doesn't forget that he was endangering others lives with his stupidity. :rage:

Either a Jeep Cherokee (for solid front axle) or an older chevy suburban for the additional interior space. Although my early 2000 (small body) dodge Durango has been a good dependable daily and weekend excursion vehicle as well. plus 3rd row seating is handy.

I was thinking just a flat surface for the tent and then I can use totes underneath the surface for storage. Now if I can just kick this cold.

Finished up the bed sides and tail gate, slightly heavy but turned out decent. :grin: Just have to finish up the gooseneck hidden hitch access hatch. Its progress and I'll take it.

Beside the fears already said I would say mine is more of a worry. It is that I'll spend all day heading out to a certain spot only to get there and find 30 other people already there in my place of calm and quiet nature.

I scraped up enough energy from being sick all week to take advantage of the 60 degree weather last night and got one of the side racks completed. Slight progress but I'll take any I can get.

A thing to note on escapes the 1st gear is 2.89:1 vs reverse being 2.31:1 . You are better off towing in first to utilize the best possible gear ratio. As for a front tow point , just get a front mount reciever hitch like this one. https://www.etrailer.com/fmr-2005_Ford_Escape.htm

Anyone go old school and try something like the 2 door AWD AMC Eagles? Excellent ground clearance, low center of gravity and short wheel base, not sure on mpg though. or the 4 door version Yeah I am an stuck in the past :(. My 1958 fc-170 build in progress is a 103" wheel...

Sitting on the floor in the store admiring the excellent deal? :grin:

A work in progress and not sure if it fit the full size category with only a 103" wheel base (same as a jeep compass). But in its day it was rated as a 3/4 ton and it has a 9 ft bed.

Baring something coming up I am free to attend.
