Just got some Quadratec hardrock wheels in gun-metal-gray (going to 35x12.5R17 somethings) and next up is the Vector OffRoad JKE-Dock, Teraflex 1.25" Body Lift, KC Cyclone LED Rock Lights, kargo-master Congo Sport Rack & Roof Pac
Moak, It's all good.. OP asked about "on the trail" so I was just giving an alternate view point. as you said that rig was built to be a play toy and cost wasn't ever really a factor in anything I did with it ... hell it's first set of tiers, put on with only 4K on the odo, where a set of...
price per mile or how long will they last or road-manners are all kind of irrelevant running these (revers mounted 35x10.5 boggers on the rear and custom cut tsl's q78's on the front).. but dam near unstoppable on the trail
Seeing all the I had to learn and be able do most all of myself because I couldn't afford to pay anyone else when I was younger is sooooo me yet at the same time it only made Me vehemently detest "having" to do it and thus I never got any satisfaction or enjoyment from it .. no garage, no...
yes and no .... I actuality do have one and have carried it around in my pack but only ever set it up once, in the yard when I first got it ..lol (was planning on doing a lot more hiking at the time, then somehow got seriously sidetracked and ended up getting a lot fatter instead).. so the last...
Rightline Gear side storage bag and roll bar bags
Front Runner drop down table for the tailgate of the JK and their cutlery set.
Next up Zeon 10s and arb twin compressor
Making My own aux-electric/power boxes for each side in the back of the jeep
Keep Me posted, sound interesting and would be great to get out and meat some new folks .. I'm about an 1.5hr north-west of the there (depending on where/which side or the rez where talking)
Time/Money but not in the usual sense, yes building a rig take time and resource but slowly that all comes together if you make it a priority and I can easily do "weekends" or a few week trips (and have for years - it the normal career/vacation cycle)...
My issue is I have gotten to the point I...
keep mine cheep and simple .. biggest down side is I should have used marine grade hardware as I needed to loosen the turn buckle to open the hood which is why I eventual stopped running them (well that and I got to the point where I cared less about body damage)
Here is how I made my own recessed Xterra roof rack .. about $50 in parts from Lowes .., and I have a pair of take-down shotgun cases that I keep my Colman stove and camp-kitchen stuff in ..both of which fit side by side and still stay under the factor rack line so as to not get hung up on trees...
Does this count ...
My 46 CJ2A .. needs a LOT of work ..
It was on the property next door to where I grew up, and I use to play around with in it as young 10 year old kid
fast forward 35 years, to when I bought the property, a few years ago, and it's now mine
Yes the old jeep well get a full...
Bit of a dead thread revival but I found looking threw the post here neat,
My first (back around 1988 or so) was a 77 Chevy vaga wagon, with posi trac rear and I used studded snow tire when in the woods .. with the judicious use of the skinny peddle think I ran most every trail in the woods I...
not saying there aren't very valid reasons and many great benefits to ham
Perhaps it is in part an east west thing (thou My cb worked fine in both Colorado and Moab being we always kept the truck in front behind of you in sight) or more a where you travel most commonly but for the most part we...
depends on how you define "better" ?
overall CB .. it is the most basic, easiest to use and most accessible to anyone/everyone and good enough for most trips
and thus why it's been the required form of communication on most every trail run I've been on in the last 20+ years.
Add in a cell...
It's hard with the continuing push for mass globalization and companies using parts sourced from all over the world but generally I'm ok with stuff made in and from other first world countries (US/UK/EU/Australia/Canada/Japan/etc) especially for safety equipment or tools or vehicle mods or other...
