I wish I had a big shop so everyone who wanted to help with this project could show up. We would have a big party! Thanks for the offer.

If all goes well with the shop I am going with I will let you know for future reference. Macco was one of the places I was told that would still take on a complete car. I did not even try with them, knowing their reputation. At that point I would just try and do it myself.

The saga continues...

Signature Rock. Day 1 Part 1 Day 1 Part 2 Day 2

Day 1 Part 2 of the Signature Rock trip is up.

Well we finished up what we could of the West/East Route this last weekend. Everything was going good till we hit a private property sign 62 miles in. This is what happens when you get deep into these desert areas. At one time you could drive these roads, but with people not respecting the lands...

That is too bad. Sorry to hear that. Good body style on those. Luckily it was just a engine fire on mine so it is salvageable.

There are a few more trips to document before the fire. Then it will be the XJ till I can get the FSJ back up and running again. Thanks for watching!

Two videos out.

Big difference for sure. I though having only two doors it would be difficult to get people into the back seat. Having that extra width made a huge difference. I almost think it is easier to get in and out of the back seat with the two door than it is with the 4 doors.

Me too. I have owned two 4 doors, but found them to be difficult to get in and out. Always wanted to try the 2dr, thought they looked better too. Took a long time, but I found this one for a price I could not pass up. Plus being a 2wd I knew it did not see any rough trail use. Pretty tight unit...

This is my '91 Sport. Started life as a 2wd. Just converted it to 4wd. This is a 5sp also. When I added the front axle I also replaced the rear axle with axles out of a automatic. changed the gearing from 3.07 to 3.54. This lowered the gearing enough to be able to add 31" tires without changing...

It will give her some experience.

Could be dangerous... Glad you guys are coming along!

SW Idaho Overlanding West/East Idaho Overlanding Route. This is something that I have been thinking about for a few years now. I know about the IDBDR that runs North/South, but there is no West/East route. Although the IDBDR is there, it is really just a lot of forest and back country road...

Well, it is finished. We did the trip last September; it turned out to be 7 hard days on the trail and 1 day spent on a trailer recovery. I finally was able to finish the video series, what a task that was. Way more involved than I was expecting. 3 minutes of video equal about 20 minutes of...
