The Jeep thread

[FatTireGoose]

I picked the wrong winter to pull the motor on my '63 Willys. Logic was; the cold months would be good down-time to do the work...who knew we weren't gonna have a "winter" this year.

All these 65deg days in western NC and I coulda been out playing.

My god. I want that.

Or one like this:

[MTSHANK]

mine is mostly stock...I do have a 4" Alcan Leaf lift and done a D30 disc conversion.
I will be redoing all of the wiring this summer/fall and getting it repainted

I need get a rack for it to haul my bikes to the mountain

[Garagemonkey]

That OD one looks a little like my old '73!

A picture of my TJ from 2 years back. I've changed a few more things since then.

[JeepBoy]

Well since I can post pictures now..

When I first got her:


Then she got some paint and a rack and doorless mod.


Then a 4.5" lift but was still rolling on some 225..pretty funny looking.


Then some nice 31's to fit her nicely. Once day she's going to be an expedition rig. And the sides got some protection as well as some rust repair.


Then a snorkel. And thats my bike I was given the other day for 20 bucks. And I took it out for a quick ride..Needless to say its going to get bastardered up like my Jeep. - I did everything on mine. -


There she is. 4.5 bpack with tbird coils, everything was done by me, made by me. & just like my Jeep, I'm looking forward to doing and learning and not going to a shop to do my repairs.

[jkirkpatri]

DOZER!!! Colour looks more orangish at night, and definately brighter yellow in the day. Crush was just way too orange and the wife is big on the name - DOZER! Our vanity plate actually says DOZER (wife's choice as it's her Jeep)

Got a 2010 Rubicon last year. It's my third wrangler. Had to get the bike rack and kayak rack on there first.
Have big plans for lift, tires, bumper, armor, etc!!

Got some new shoes for mine this weekend. You can only spot the steering wheel in one of the pics, but it's still on the wrong side. :

Actually your whole front end steering linkages are backwards as well.

[CommuterBoy]

^^ Not just backwards. You have no idea how hard it is to find an adjustable double shear track bar for this thing. Iron Rock Offroad for the win!

Oh and the windshield wipers go the other way too.

I hear good things about those Duratracs.

[CommuterBoy]

^^ Awesome reviews. I drove them in the snow for the first time today, and I'm completely impressed. Crazy traction in the snow. I had Maxxis Bighorns before, and these are WAY quieter on the pavement, way smoother, and WAY better in the snow. I realized that I do way more snow than mud, and MT's suck in the snow. I live up a dirt road in snow country.
They truly seem to be somewhere between an AT and an MT... I think Goodyear nailed it with these. For a weekend warrior that will see pavement as well as get abused on the trail, I can't think of a better tire.
Only a 2-ply sidewall though, so we'll see if that becomes an issue...

[jkirkpatri]

Duratracs on the Jeep and Duractracs on the Taco, both C range. Excellent tires!

[pyrotyro]

My friend poked a hole in his duratracs... on the way to the trail haha

[CommuterBoy]

^^ Let's hope that's a fluke.

My commute this morning... I'm impressed with these things!!

[bmxerben2000]

Anybody headed to Moab Easter Jeep Safari? Bringing the bike too? I know I am!

[pyrotyro]

I am! I was planning on doing some MTBing... but probably wont due to recent injury

[Irongrave]

My pile of parts 92 Wrangler YJ, its like the bike dose not see paved roads

[magarnigel]

Love the Metalcloaks. I have them on my Jeep too.
