Jeepers

[Adawg38]

Just curious if there are any Jeepers on this forum. Post pics of your rig or your Jeep doing something cool.

Oooohhhh.... my heart skipped a beat when I saw this thread :)
Love Jeeps. Would totally have one by now if I could truck around all 3 kids at once in one. Had to settle for a Silverado 1500 (which is still nicer than any car I've had, so I'm not complaining).

[Jefe's AR]

Used to be. Been a few years since I sold it.

I don't have a Jeep but I might have a picture somewhere of me on an ATV pulling one out of a stream after the yuppie driving it hydro-locked the engine trying to get across.

[ray1970]

This is an awesome picture. Did you have one of those stickers on it that says "If you can read this, flip me back over."?

See you still have your Jeep, what happened to your Wife's????

[Goodburbon]

I think it was a yellow belly marmot that snuck in while we were eating our picnic, and yes I still have my jeep. We sold hers and bought her a new F-150. I had put it up on Naxja and didn't get any interest. It was armored up and locked, we just didn't drive it enough. She put it on consignment so we didn't have to mess with it and someone in Canon City picked it up at almost double what we were asking.

Thanks Guys! Picked it up for free, been trying to fix it up with what little money I have. Just took the top off for summer cruising. Most people don't know what it is or call it a scout!

Finally found the photo I wanted to post. Best action shot of the jeepster so far.

[rondog]

Coolest thing my '56 CJ5 has done so far is sit and wait patiently for me to get around to fixing it up. Sat right there for 30 years. Still waiting for me, I really need to get off my ass and finish it. The chassis is nearly done, I just need to install the brake m/c and bracket, then plumb the brake lines, and find a place to store the chassis while I work on the engine/trans/t-case. Put the drivetrain into the chassis and back into storage, and the bodywork can commence. I really need a bigger place where I can work on it. This photo was in my dad's electrical business shop, back in OK. My dinky little 18x18 garage just don't cut it.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b150/rinselman/1956%20CJ5%20all%20together/storage21.jpg

It's really in damn good shape for 56 years old, I'm trying to restore it back to 100% new condition and nearly original, but with much better brakes, steering, and electricals. Also have a brand new white Kayline top just like this one, still in the box. Bought it from some guy that was cleaning out an old Jeep dealership in CA, it had been sitting on a shelf forever, Kayline's been out of business for many years. And I have a steel halfcab for it too.

Got some original seats, including a rear seat, and original 16" steel wheels. Going back with skinny 6" tires like they came with, it's just going to be used for scenic trail rides, you guys can have the rock crawling stuff.

Brought it to CO at Xmas, 2004. This was its first bath in over 30 years.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b150/rinselman/1956%20CJ5%20all%20together/clean1.jpg

Also scored this ultra-cool and uber-rare venting windshield for it. These things are damn hard to find and big bucks! I got it from a guy that traded me even-up for my stock windshield, because he was tall and this was hard for him to see out of. Needs restoring, but it's not rotted, rusted or damaged, and I've already got new rubber gaskets for it. Just needs blasting, painting, and new glass.

Man, you got a beautiful classic rig there and it's just sitting there? You'll get her up and running eventually.

[van7559]

Had a Geo tracker and a sidekick. Definitely can take a beating. Ifs and lack of aftermarket support kills them. My 95 tracker lsi had a calmini 3" lift and was locked front and rear. For only havingg 31" tires it was pretty beast

Harsh.

It felt like almost a roll on Fireman's Hill, but I doubt it would have rolled. You might have been thinking about my comment about my buddy's Rubicon that went just before me. He didn't have a chance to straighten out as much as I did, so we were pretty worried about him rolling.

I was only temporarily stuck in the mud pit. I backed up there to move out of the way of someone else and got stuck. Right when that other truck pulled up to get me off, I managed to work it loose. I miss that truck, it was much better than the one I have now.

[rondog]

Thanks for the vote of confidence! So far, the frame's been blasted and powdercoated, same with axle housings, axles all rebuilt, front D25's been replaced with a '72 D30, all new 11" brakes all around. Plus I've got a buttload of all kinds of new parts and correct vintage parts stocked up. And a neighbor waiting to do the bodywork and paint. So, I've got a good start, just need a good kick in the ass I reckon.

Looks like some rigs are setting up a run this Sunday at Red Cone. Anyone from here want to go?

[glock21]

Where is that. Im a newbie byt im game.

[T-Giv]

It's up Hwy 285. Go to traildamage.com it's a great website to see all the trails in the state. It looks like the tentative plan is 0800 hours meet up at the Conoco in Morrison just off of 470.

http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=9

[Irving]

Make sure your tranny doesn't pop out of first gear as you won't be using your brakes on the decent. Red Cone is kind of wet on the way up as well, so new rubber would be a great idea. I did the bottom part of Red Cone at night one fall, but it was a blizzard up top so we didn't do the descent.

^ Second that. Your tires are looking a bit rough. The bottom of Red Cone is very steep. Should be a great time. Looks like as of now we are 5 rigs for the trip. Who else wants to go play in the mountains while it will be a scorcher down in the metro?

[blacklabel]

Ohh, Red Cone sounds like a good time. I'll have to see if I can get free for that.

[Irving]

I want to do Red Cone again, but I don't think the low gear on my Amigo is quite low enough. It is only something like 2.5:1 and I wouldn't feel resl comfortable taking my family down. Plus, my wife would probably be scared into a literal comma, or scarred for life.

Come on it will be a swell ol' time. [DriveBy]

[glock21]

Yea my tires arent the best. I may have to pass till i get new rubber.

[T-Giv]

You got a few days son get r' done! [Beer]

[glock21]

Haha i wish tires were cheap enough.

[LeJerk]

Yea my tires arent the best. I may have to pass till i get new rubber.

Check out https://www.treadwright.com for tires. They are retreads, but they are SUPER cheap compared to new name brand tires, and a bunch of people can vouch for the quality.

If I can find the tire size and wheel size combination I want on there I will definitely get a set when my current tires are worn out.

[T-Giv]

Also check Craigslist. I have seen multiple sets of 33's and 35's with 50% tread or more for very reasonable. You could always postpone a new set for a while with one of those and go wheeling! Red Cone was allegedly closed but I just confirmed that it opened officially on the 15th so we are good to go!

[glock21]

Yup been on craigslist all day

[T-Giv]

Ah Craigslist. I can't even count how many great things in my life have been purchased from Craigslist.

Here's one:

http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/2964222198.html

You could probably beat him on price pretty good if you hit him with a cash offer, and they are new!

[T-Giv]

Where as I just looked at a new 37'' for my JK to add a matching spare and if I'm lying I'm dying it's $612 per tire only. Cool ain't cheap and fast ain't free.

[rondog]

Coolest view I've ever seen of Red Cone and Webster Pass.

[T-Giv]

Epic vid!

[Zundfolge]

This thread is killing me ... someone really needs to buy my Porsche so I can get a Jeep :p

[glock21]

I had a nice wrangler 2 years ago and sold it. Ive been wanting another since.

[rondog]

Epic vid!

Cool, ain't it?

[Irving]

Didn't watch vid at work. Is it the one with the R/C plane doing flyovers?

[rondog]

Didn't watch vid at work. Is it the one with the R/C plane doing flyovers?

Yeah. Has a camera mounted with a cockpit view, cool as hell.

[Adawg38]

Wish I could check out Red Cone. I need to get out and play with the toy soon but I'll have the little one all weekend plus I got crap to do all over the house.[Rant1]

[Irving]

Yeah. Has a camera mounted with a cockpit view, cool as hell.

I checked it out. I think I posted it a few years ago. (or someone else from here posted it, and I posted it on another thread). That video is awesome!

What kind of tire?? At that price does it come with the ten foot pole and no lube[Coffee]

When I had the truggy, my 37" red label krawlers were only $400+.

[rondog]

I checked it out. I think I posted it a few years ago. (or someone else from here posted it, and I posted it on another thread). That video is awesome!

Who knows....I think I've posted it here before too. Came from a member at Colorado 4x4.org, he made it. Damn, could I have fun with a plane like that! Until I lost it up on a mountainside or something......

[glock21]

Well i found some near new 33s and i just picked up a hi lift for 30bucks.

[T-Giv]

Dude come on man you are going to regret it! [Phone] your buddy and tell him that he needs to make time. [Wiggle]

[glock21]

Haha ill see what i can do. How long is the ride.

[T-Giv]

I'm not even sure. It's just over 6 miles so depends on a few factors including how many rigs, if anyone has issues, how many stops we take, and if we encounter any other parties on the trail. I'd figure 3 hours of total run time but who knows?

[glock21]

My hi lift mounted haha. Cost me $3.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac298/davidcordero/20120621_122153.jpg

Ok so i got 4 new tires and it cost me 80 bucks. I love craigslist.

[glock21]

That cj is badass. You should go with us on sunday. Oh yea T-giv im going too lol.

[sp1tty]

What time are you guys heading up on Sunday?

[glock21]

Looks like meet up @ 0800 in morison at the conoco.

[The Heretic]

Appreciate that Glock. What trails are you hitting Sunday?

[glock21]

Redcone pass. Ive never done it so its gonna be fun. Im taking my swat buddy with me see if i can scare him a bit lol.

[The Heretic]

Outstanding! Maybe I'll see you guys out there

[T-Giv]

That's a deal. What were you able to find?

Seriously where did you find that? That's a steal even for Craig's!

Oh and for those coming along on Red Cone Sunday. The time has been moved to 0900 at the Conoco off of Morrison and C470. I so far have 4 Jeep JK's confirmed as going so we should have a nice group to play with for the day! Would like to meet some dudes from here as well. glock21 you dirty dog I knew you would come along! Looking forward to some fun in the greatest state in the US of A. Anyone have a good camera that they want to bring along? I'm sure this is not the last of some great trips with the COAR crew.

Heretic, solid CJ amigo!

[glock21]

Haha i couldnt pass it up. I think my buddy has a nice camera. Ill ask him to take it.

[The Heretic]

Thanks T-Giv, she's my girl! Well, besides my firearms! Maybe I'll see you guys Sunday, if I can't make it this week keep me updated on future trips. Grazie!

[glock21]

I cant wait till sunday. Wheeling comes second to motorcycles for me.

[T-Giv]

Also pretty excited for Sunday! Anyone here who has run Red Cone how long should we expect? I am trying to set up a meeting with someone up near Fairplay and am wondering what time I should set it for?

[blacklabel]

I'm tempted to drag my Frontier over it but I'm not sure how it would do. I've done Pierson Park Road and Pole Hill but I'm not sure my truck is up to the task in its current form.

I appreciate the encouragement guys but I'm not sure that the old lady would appreciate any trail damage. How often do you guys see stock (Nismo edition so it has skids and a rear locker) trucks on Red Cone?

[opie011]

You'll be fine. Only trail damage you'd get is either dirty tires or if you slid off the trail and plummeted to your death[Flower]

I also want to run Black Bear at least once too. Hell, this state's covered with cool trails.

I had a few pucker moments on Pierson Park Road and she didn't even bat an eye although she doesn't like big drop offs and she hasn't seen anything similar to Red Cone.

I can't commit now but depending on how productive I am tomorrow, I'll try to make it.

Dude, if you've got a rear locker, your truck won't even bat an eye at Red Cone. Plus, with all the other guys there, you'll have plenty of people to spot you on obstacles and/or extract you if you do manage to get stuck.

[T-Giv]

Precisely! I'd be happy to give you a bump if you get stuck. [Beer]

[T-Giv]

Bump for some trail fun today! I am running on 4.5 hours of sleep after working last night but I'm up and running for some wheeling!

[glock21]

We made it back alive. I had so much fun. The bad part was i had the smallest jeep lol. $$$ need a second job now.

[Big Wall]

Pics?

[T-Giv]

I've got some and they will be up in just a few minutes. On another note I think I spun a bearing on my motor on the way home. Bummer too because the motor only has 7k on it and has been babied. I will be contacting a dealer tomorrow. Hopefully they take care of me under warranty.

Oh no. Did you make it back home ok. Your jeep is a freaking beast. Best looking one out today.

Yeah I just got home. I wasn't sure I was going to make it. I'm pissed! 7k pampered miles on the motor and this happens? Here is a vid....any motor gurus that can diagnose what that sound is?

I also wasn't able to get any action shots/video on the first part of the trail that was rather intense. I was very surprised. I would wager that a stock SUV wouldn't have made it.

Bump to the Jeepers thread. I spent a few hours detailing my rig thoroughly. I did a full motor detail as well as undercarriage. Of course a plush wash and full wax. Looking better than it did when I picked up off the showroom floor. The Jeep is taking a few weeks off and will be doing garage queen status until the next trip is scheduled!

I'm thinking of getting one for a winter daily and I have been looking around on Craig's. There are some solid deals out there!

I did the wheeling thing for a while, but got tired of wrenching on this old girl:

Nice, same as mine then. I'll have to snap a pic of my J20 after I go to the dump to get the shed out of the back of it.

Do you ever visit the CO Full-Size Jeep Assoc. yahoo group page? (CFSJA) It's a been a bit quiet lately, but a bunch of those guys know their stuff over there. There hasn't been a get together of FSJ's in a while either.

I'm down to run that one if some of the other dudes are. I think we are looking for something more mild on this run though because I know I have a few stock rigs that want to get out. Who has a more mild recommendation?

[glock21]

Im up for any trail. I just need to get out.

anyone here run msv/coney flats this year?

I have not. Hopefully someone chimes in who has. I'll continue to research a good option for the next run and glock21 post up where you decide to go this Sunday and take some pics!

[T-Giv]

I vote Slaughterhouse Gulch. I've never been over there. Let's establish a head count! Looks like meeting at the Circle K on C-470 and 285 will be perfect. What time works for everyone? 10:00?

[glock21]

Next sunday right? Ill me you and we can roll together. I didnt get out today.

I vote Slaughterhouse Gulch. I've never been over there. Let's establish a head count! Looks like meeting at the Circle K on C-470 and 285 will be perfect. What time works for everyone? 10:00?

I'm gonna talk to the wife and my buddy who has a Jeep as well. Maybe me and him will roll too. Is Slaughterhouse difficult? What's the rating?

There is the link. It's not difficult really but it has some opportunity to play. I am still tweaking on my suspension stuff so this will just be a fun run not a bash em up trail. I have another buddy who wants to bring his stock Wrangler up there and I've seen stock rigs playing up here so should be good to go.

EKJ you are more than welcome to play! Your rig looks sick and great video! And you posted that link seconds before I did! [Beer]

Looks like lots of mud! [Tooth]

[T-Giv]

Yeah I don't think there will be this year though with how little snow/rain we have had. Mud isn't my thing anyway. I'm much more of a play with boulders kinda guy. If that's your style have at it!

[EKJ]

Thanks for the invite! I was in Penrose yesterday. I will be to busy for a wile to do much of anything.[Mad]

[970TJ]

Just noticed this thread. Here's a few of my "cookiecutter" '98 TJ, 4" lift, 33's, among other things. I'm on the other side of the hill though, so chances are I won't be able to play with you guys. No west slope love?

[GilpinGuy]

Damn! Just saw the thread. Any plans for another run before the snow flies?

[T-Giv]

Absolutely I'd like to make another run. Something close and a shorter trail run would be great.

[Adawg38]

I'm thinking the same. A friend and myself were thinking about doing Pickle Gultch on the weekend of the 8th & 9th. There is suppose to be a Ghost Town up there somewhere as well.

[EKJ]

Spring creek is pretty close and has some good rock crawling !

[The Heretic]

Pickle Gultch is fun! Im in!

[T-Giv]

I'd be in for either option, depending on day/time.

[Adawg38]

Just talked to my 2 buddies. I guess 1 will have his Chevy Truck because his YJ is being worked on and the other has a Hummer. We were thinking Pickle Gultch next Sat but we are not sure on a time yet.

[T-Giv]

Post up a time and I'll see if I can join. I work graves so my schedule is all jacked now.

[Adawg38]

Haven't heard from my buddy yet about Pickle Gultch so I am gonna call him tonight and be like WTF? Hopefully I can get a time posted even though I am pushing it. Also wanted to say real close to the trail head is a nice shooting range.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's a D90?? Friggin' sweet rig[Beer]

[blacklabel]

Great looking Land Rover! Awesome pictures to boot too.

[csnell]

Thanks. It's a 1994 D90.

[Adawg38]

Doesn't look like Pickle Gultch is happening this Sat guys. I guess that's just how it goes when you have kids huh? Sucks, I really want to get out before winter hits. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.[Rant2]

[birddog]

That D90 is awesome. What kind of mileage do they get? How many miles do you have on that thing?

[Snowman78]

Yep, super cool D90!

[Goodburbon]

I'm an XJ guy, but I'd rock a D90.

[csnell]

That D90 is awesome. What kind of mileage do they get? How many miles do you have on that thing?

Thanks. It only gets about 12 MPG and runs on premium. I have about 130,000 miles on it so far.

[csnell]

Anybody interested in doing an offroad + shooting trip in the NF before winter comes? I was thinking about camping up on one of the Sawatch passes and shooting at BV.

[T-Giv]

I would be in depending on when. I work weekends so I'm not sure I'd be able to tag along.

[glock21]

After this weekend the xj should be ready to roll.

[csnell]

I was thinking about the weekend after this upcoming weekend, the 22nd/23rd. I have the gas tank out right now, waiting for this weekend to finish installing a new fuel pump.

[glock21]

I might be able to swing it. I nedd to get the jeep out again this year.

Now that is what I am talking about!!

I just bought a jeep last week. Nothing special, but it is going to do what I want it to. Not a huge fan of rock crawling or mudding, I just like back country trails, hunting, camping stuff like that so this will do perfect. I am thinking of putting a 4" lift and 33's on it, but I will wait a while for that.

How've you been, Keith?

[revor]

Biz is slow... That's good, means I get more time for shooting and fishing!!!

Small world it is!

[T-Giv]

If anyone on here is looking for some basic JK parts I have a few laying around. I have a stock spare tire carrier with all of the wiring, rubber grommets, etc and a stock non-nav head unit. If you are trading your rig in these are great ways to not give up your expensive aftermarket stuff!

[csnell]

If anybody is interested, I'm going to camp up by Taylor Lake next Saturday night. I plan on leaving COS early Saturday and driving over Tincup or Cottonwood pass down to Taylor Park. From there, it's a drive up a rocky stream bed (http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=118) up to Taylor Pass and the lake. If it's not too crowded up there, I hope to set up a few targets and do a little shooting.

This is all weather-dependent, of course.

[Danimal]

Back story: The guy that owned the jeep before me heard a tapping in the motor. To he got the head rebuilt. The engine still tapped so he bought a new one. When he was putting it in the indexing pin was not aligned and the tab where the starter mounts broke off. So he sold me the whole package. I put the old engine in and tried to get the tapping to stop, but I am pretty sure that it is either a flat spot on the cam, or a ruined lifter. I might rebuild it later, but for the time being I figured that I could fix the new engine and put it in.

Henpecked hooked me up with a good welder here north of Denver that did the welding. Thanks!

Here are the pics.

After the motor got back from the welder the whole thing took two days and a shit ton of permatex, but there is not a drop of any fluid anywhere. And other than a hose clamp malfunction ahem... resulting in an immediate coolant dump all over the garage, the whole thing works flawless. I cant wait to get out and hit some trails here soon, but I will have to break in the motor for another 1000 miles or so before I do too much with it.

Nice work!

Very nice. This is what I call a "green vehicle". Why send a good truck to the junkyard? For a couple of days of work, you have a very nice new motor. Congrats!

Anyone in the Springs area heard of a company called Off Road Armor? I think they are located out East. I have been in contact with the owner regarding some custom armor work that my rig needs. He states that his armor is every bit as strong as Poison, Off Road Evo, etc.

[T-Giv]

I also just ordered my Artec industries front truss kit and C Gussets. Anyone have any experience with those? I did tons of research before ordering mine and they appear to be the best in the biz. We need to get a wheeling trip set up with some shooting involved. Looks like glock21 and I may be setting something up for next Thursday. Anyone in? Here is a link to the Artec stuff if you haven't checked them out.

https://artecindustries.3dcartstores.com/Dana-44_c_170.html

Also, I'm all set up to leave my rig with Off Road Armor for a few weeks next month. He is going to design and build a rear bumper/tire carrier, front bumper, sliders, flares, skid plates, etc. My rig will look night and day different and I can't wait to test the stuff out on the trail!

[T-Giv]

Anyone with a JK want to buy my cut flares and cut bumpers? They look great!
