That'll be awesome when it's all together, I couldn't imagine mine with roughly double the HP and torque of stock.

What are you estimating for HP and torque? And do you think the 44's will hold up or will we see some custom width ProRock 60's on it?

Are you guys returning on highway or the LoLo motorway?

If you are running the Addco HD sway bar watch the mounts pretty close. It doesn't take much wheeling/flexing to have the mounts start to tare out. I didn't think I was wheeling mine hard enough to have that issue but after 1 season of off road and trails mine started to rip. It starts to...

Are you running adjustable lowers in the front? Mine are adjustable upper and lower and I pushed the axle forward a bit and it gains you a tiny bit more to play with while setting angles ( driveline angle) and some clearance at the back for bigger tires. I think I started with +1" but that was...

Thanks, it's been a process getting it where it is now. I should have just bought a long arm lift from the beginning but I tried to be cheap and run a small lift for a short while then it snowballed into seeing what I could make it do with short arms. It does surprisingly well on the current...

Always good to see another WJ getting built and looks like you have a good start on yours. For the money they are a great platform to start on, super capable and fun to play with. There are a few other guys on here with build threads going for WJ's so a lot of knowledge and ideas if you poke...

I think I have ran into every scenario you mentioned at some point in time, never been a big deal just adds to the adventure when you have to find a new route. Now if you are dead set on making a through track somewhere and there is no other route it's a bummer. That's why I like to check...

Another place to check is the National Forest Service site, while not a great tool for guidance it is good for checking road/trail restrictions. Some roads are open to everything year round while some stuff on the maps have width restrictions or high clearance warnings or seasonal closures...

I liked the ride I had with the 3" IRO coils but I felt they were too soft when full loaded for a weekend of camping and sagged too much. I switched up to the 4.5" Clayton springs and it's great now. Rides nice on the road, carries a full load of gear without too much saggy butt and flexes...

Trip up to Little Naches was a success! We got up to Lost Meadows Thursday afternoon and stayed until Sunday. Went up to Ravens Roost around 11:30 Thursday night to try to see the Aurora Borealis but no luck, great view of the stars though. Friday we ran Naches pass trail from the Far west end...

Good to hear from you, I was starting to wonder where you ran off to. Sorry to hear about the health problems, hope you get it all sorted so you can get back out on the trails. Wish I could make the Darland loop run but we're already digging potatoes so between that and other things planned I...

I haven't been up there since Memorial day weekend but I would think it is clear by now. There was still drifts when I was there but they were melting fast and the weather has been pretty warm. Most years when I've been up it's clear the whole way by 4th of July. Are you planning a day trip...

If you are on a budget, buying a DIY kit and taking it to someone to weld up might your best option unless you have a friend that can do the custom fab work at a fair price. Not that fab shops aren't capable of building badass custom bumpers but at an hourly rate you will be paying more for...

I've never been to the actual Jamboree but have been in the area when it's happening, seems like a lot going on and would be a good time. The park where it's held is nice and tons of trails in that area, everything from mild forest road cruising to tight technical stuff to rock crawling. I...

The size of the wheel well opening on the WJ is a big downfall when trying to run bigger tires. Currently I have 4.5" springs on short arms with 33's, both axles are pushed out about 1/2" and with a lot of trimming I still rub at full lock when flexed. If you think a fender trim is in your...

Anyone looking to get out into the Blues there is still a decent amount of snow in the shaded areas and north slopes. A friend rented the Godman Guard Station for the weekend and I ran up to stay Saturday night. Skyline road coming from the north to Godman is open and you can make it about 6-7...

While looking for ideas for a trailer build I came across this folding table and thought it might be handy mounted to the side of a trailer. Not sure how sturdy they are but I have a few of their triangle toolboxes on farm pickups and they're built plenty stout.

I've built some things in the past and had them get messed up from water getting in so wanted to spare you the headache. Another idea I had looking at your build and this one might not be as good. You could cut down your 1 1/4" legs a little bit, cap the ends and find a coil spring to drop...

Nice build, I'm looking at doing something similar in the future so seeing stuff like this is great for inspiration and ideas. One suggestion though and you might have already done it, is to drill a hole in the bottom of the 1 1/2" vertical tube for your telescoping system. It will collect...
