    Where it started

    A few might remember the photo I shot of our families Jeeps for our son that joined the Army. We got to head to Georgia this week for his boot camp graduation ceremony. After the ceremony, we had the pleasure of touring the National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning. Really cool museum. While...

    Slabs and stock tires

    They are 17x9. The build sheet says the factory wheels are 17x7.5. Really don't have a problem waiting although I do believe walking across the living room now and then they are secretly taunting me. Only complaint I had was out of 5 wheels, I got 1 valve stem and 2 hex wrenches to remove...

    Slabs and stock tires

    Tried finding an answer but seems I cant find it or not bright enough to search correctly. Anyway, picked up a set of slabs and I only have 14k or so on the factory 255/75/17 tires. Would these tires be ok to mount on the slabs? If it's going to look goofy/odd/whatever, I will wait since I'm...

    Upgrade speakers with a cage?

    Factory sound system is Ok, but have thought about upgrading. Only problem is I have the rock hard cage installed. My concern is the lower front speakers. With the side cage pieces, there is no side access. Is it possible to pull them out any other way? Just afraid the cage will have to be...

    Bump stop question

    While looking over the Jeep tonight I noticed that the bumper on my front shocks were not solid but damn near all the way down. This got the wheels spinning and wondered if I am in danger of damaging my shocks. Please bear with me as I try to explain everything I measured. (Was a fire marshal...

    Body mount tire carrier and winch

    Somewhere back I read an article in a magazine about how they mounted a winch on a body mounted tire carrier. Can't seem to remember where I found it or find the article. With my back the way it is, this is something that I am looking at for future mods. Bear with me as this may get a little...

    What was done to your rig this week?

    Decided it was time to change the look of the front end. Chopped the bumper off and re-used the factory ends. Didn't have any door trim around so for now used some split loom for wiring to cover up the cut ends. Next thinking about chopping the fenders but cant really afford the 35's yet...

    Granted I haven't gotten to do a lot of mods yet but this has been the best one so far. Oldest will be leaving about a month after graduation for 6 years. Will be a big change for mom and I but could not be prouder!

    CB radio mount on JK?

    This was on our '10, used a couple insulated cable clamps and 2 small angle brackets bolted to the CB bracket on the center footman loop. Held it up above the rear view mirror. Not the greatest image but I think you can get the idea. The '14 we have now I used a KC roll bar light mount and...

    Looks like we're a Jeep only family now

    Was time to look at replacing my truck. Ended up at the Jeep dealer and the wife fell in love with a new 4 door Jeep. Ended up coming home in it. It's the Sport and pretty much plain Jane for now. We looked at the Rubi and Sahara but she decided that eventually she wants 37's and D60's and...

    My DIY doors

    Well I ended up going a different way after trying to figure out the mounting where the door is angled. Instead of having sticky velcro strips that I figure will come off over time, I decided to make it square more or less and have the vertical strips velcro to them selves wrapping around the...

    My DIY doors

    I need some opinions. Have initial coat of black on and will still need to finish painting, but working on the netting. Not sure which way looks better. Option 1, 5 vertical with 2 horizontal Option 2, 5 vertical with 3 horizontal. I only had 7 strips made up so I had to pull one vertical...

    My DIY doors

    Got the other hinge pin welded on and everything adjusted. Still have to finish sanding down and touch up a couple welds but I think its looking pretty good. RMC2, they really don't way more than a couple pounds currently, the tubing is 12ga so it is fairly light. Once its all done I'll...

    My DIY doors

    Well after seeing a few folks making their own tube doors, I thought I'd give it a go. Using rectangle tube as I had a bunch given to me. Its 1" x 2 1/2", pretty rusty but it cleans up. Sat down with my CAD software and figured out the angles and lengths. The hinge pins are 7/16" x 4" bolts...
