    1990 Jeep YJ

    I know it’s been awhile but its been one crazy year! Hope y’all doing ok. Thought I had the Jeep running but it was still running rough, found antifreeze in the oil so next I’m replacing head gasket and hop it fixes the problem. After I get it running I’m going to build a small camper trailer...

    Rig Photos

    All nice rigs you got/had there. Big fan of first gen broncos! Tried to get one before I found my Jeep but prices were to high for me.

    1990 Jeep YJ

    Well new battery in! Drove around the block, but "Ol Patton" ain't running to well. Having an issue with idle, going through check list to fix it. But on the bright side running and got a box of goodies. My friend sent me a ham radio kit to install.

    Ham Radio License

    I have enjoyed being a radio operator and all the money I have into it, is my Icom IC-T7H handheld and the few new batteries it's needed over the years. I have talked to people from all over the world just by knowing other operators with the equipment to do so. So it doesn't take much investment...

    Do you do all your own build labor?

    The reason I bought this old Jeep was to do as much work myself as I can or call up a friend to help me. Now I'm not knocking anyone who has it built for them, to each their own, I just prefor the satifaction I get from doing it.

    Down (yet another) Rabbit Hole

    I like doing the work on my Jeep myself as it gives me the knowledge I'd need out on the trail. And ya youtube is great. The dipping looks cool but not my cup of tea, hope you have fun though.

    Where to start?

    Like was said do some car/tent camping someplace local so you can get an idea of what your family needs plus if things go wrong you can head home easily. As for the gear don't go overboard at first, look at what stuff you have at home already you can use, like for me I would love a RTT for my...
