@tpetrone - is that drone on auto-pilot?!

Drove it to Dirty Parts and didn't spend any money!!! I was just there to trade in a dysfunctional ARB Tire Deflator that had a slight bend in the piston rod (Found that out comparing it to @FrankRoams identical deflator).

Thanks first of all, for the clarification, or explanation of the general idea that anyone can do this. That's what I love best about the community. Also, thanks for giving a glimpse into your friend David's talents. I'm gonna be buying some of their music now. Really liked it. Hope it can...

Very cool, congrats on the new job and welcome to the WEST! -Chris OB# 3276 CP TACO

Shoe Goo is kinda pricy compared to a caulk tube of quick drying silicone. Keep that in mind. You'll also have cleaner application using the fine tip. Check your local hardware store. I can 3rd the Pelican lid dividers. The zippers are all YKK, and the mesh will hold up, as long as you are...

Really enjoyed reading thru this. Super well thought out build, and more function than flash. Keep up the great work! -Chris OB# 3276 CP TACO

Could anyone chime in on how they went about choosing their bracket mount locations, and how they executed it? Did you do anything to make the hole water resistant?

Probably could. Just practice caution, as this is an upright pole free design. If you add extra weight to the aluminum extensions, it could do some bending you don't want. Could be a good idea to add aftermarket uprights, in order to add any weight.

@shoredeamer - looks like you made it out before the sky cracked open again. -CP TACO OB #2376

I had some friends go up there a few weekends ago. They were all blown away. I gotta make it out there soon, before the flora melts.

Never. It never stops. :D -CP TACO OB #2376

Good thing I did my search fu, before starting a new thread. I got my ARQ90 in a few days ago, also sans that cool little laser cut hardware box. But all my hardware was accounted for. The brackets are atrocious, and I'll definitely be using something totally different. Probably gonna switch...

Hahaha, no - but that's funny to picture. Now I'm realizing I typo'd and wrote YJ instead of ZJ. Whoopsie. I drove it into a water crossing that was a bit out of hand after "El Niño" back in 2005 (I think). Apparently "Chief" was thirsty, because he guzzled up some water half way through. I...

Howdy! Cool 80! Edit: My dog pressed send. Lots of options for those 80s - and lots of inspiration here on the forums!

Welcome to OB! Your trip sounds great, and I think you've got a good idea on places to visit. There may even be some GPX files to help you in the downloadable routes section of the forum!

Welcome! Have fun with the build!

This is great! Post up a build thread, if you haven't already. Solid work!

It's a wonder you were able to get stuck at all. Very cool Jeep! -CP TACO OB #2376

This past weekend @Frank'sRoaming, my brother, a friend and I jumped into the desert for 65mi of off-road fun. The plan was to meet at the General Patton museum off the 10 at Chiriaco Summit Rd. at noon, then jump into Red Canyon, and hightail it to The Bradshaw Trail - an old gold road. Old...

I know about the worst stuck. This is the latest. More along the lines of "what was the last thing you did to your rig?" -CP TACO OB #2376
