had to go before the crowds

No idea what I did to make the pictures not show in the last post. Anyway, made one last stop on the way home to check out a big tree, sadly the jeep was too big to fit through.

Time to contribute to the destinations thread. We didn't anticipate picture logging every single thing so the pictures are a bit scattered, I apologize. Gotta love California, when a fall storm rolls into the foothills you can escape the rain by heading to the cost. A couple months ago we set...

Headed to florida for a week, I have been all over the east side but not the west side. Anyone know of fun places off the beaten path the explore/see within 2 hours of Sarasota other then the beach? edit: wont have jeep, so thats why its posted up in the pub

Time to hit the easy button and get some opinions. I have changed u joints countless times and all has been well except for this go around! this is on a 1310 tom woods double cardan cv front shaft. Swapped out all 3 joints like I normally do for routine maintenance, bolted the shaft back up...

Looking to find a new insurance company but it seems hard to find one that will cover all the after market parts on the jeep especially when the parts are greater then the value of the jeep. I heard AAA might, but thats the one company my insurance broker does not carry so I'm not too sure.

looking for a buddy, pm me if you have something. needs to be a stick and 4x4.

anyone want a daily driver? I am the second owner, this car was a lease return which I had the 3rd party car dealer I was working with acquire for me. I have owned it for 6 years and all but this past year it has been kept in the garage. It had the 50,000 miles bmw factory warranty. It is a...
