XM818 1971 5 Ton Kaiser Jeep Saw this on the way to Smith Mountain Lake in VA. It used to be a 6x6 but has been bobbed.

I just finished a minor upgrade to the Jeep. Every so often I have scraped my spare when going over ledges and I have always worried that a hard hit could bend the tire carrier. So I built a skid plate that attaches to the hitch receiver so the tire won't ever be hit again. Here it is. Also...

That is the question. I never wanted to cut my fenders because I have seen so many that have been cut too much and I don't personally like that look. I like the stock look. However when I put 37's on, modifications were necessary. I had chosen wheels and tires to minimize the amount of stick...

Yes, that is a grease fitting. It looks like those are Synergy ball joints. The synergy joints come with 2 different types of fittings. The one that was installed and a standard Zerk type fitting. If I were you I would remove those and replace them with a standard fitting. It will make it...

I did this on mine. It makes for a very clean install and hides most of the winch. It works well and keeps a lot of dirt and crap off the winch and line. The plate is made of 1/8" aluminum so the holes were easy to cut. Hidden in there is a Warn M8000 winch. Here is the best pic I have of...

It really was a great time. Here is a photo of you and your rig Mike. Less than 1500 miles on the odometer and with a brand new ding on every corner. Still has a smile from ear to ear.
