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.
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.

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

This is Frosty's Jeep. He just had it re-wrapped. He loves his JEEP. Little mods, bumbers etc. http://www.douglascountyfirearms.com/jeepwrap.jpg
That wrap looks pretty sick!
Sweet!Quote:

Forgot to post this up in here. My wife's new Jeep. We are now a 100% Jeep family!

Oh and I forgot. I just got my spare 37 in and can't wait to get it thrown on the tire carrier. It's as tall as my Motard!

^^^ Looks good. The front stinger isn't my style but to each their own! Is this a lubricon or standard JK? Looks like the axle is a D30? That's some serious axle gussets, better paint them up before the moisture comes. Overall that's a sick jeep and I wouldn't be embarrassed to wheel with it.........Im a toyota guy though[Beer]
Yeah it's a D30. I'm just going to play with it until I bust it up and drop the 60 under there. No reason to waste money on a 44 when I'm moving to a 60 anyways. The stinger on the front wasn't my style either but eventually the plan is to add some lights and tie it in with the flares and a headlight surround or even my cage. It's large but it's growing on me. Overall I am pleased with how everything came out. His prices blew away all of the "major" brands. I am all about supporting local business so I tried it out. Now we really need to get some wheeling done!
Sounds like what you have planned will work well with that stinger!! I sold the truggy a few years back but I'll be a spotter whenever[Beer]
That is way to sick T-Giv! I hate seeing bigger Jeeps than mine...it gives me a complex.
-Can you open the back gate?
-Can that front stinger support the weight of the rig if it needed to?
Yes the rear carrier is anchored on the sides with quick disconnect pins. Pull the two pins and the whole carrier rolls down and rests on the ground so that the gate is accessible. My wife can even do it by herself. As far as the stinger, probably not. If I put it up on its nose now it would bend. The plan is to anchor it with a hood hoop and potentially my cage down the road. It's a little big anyway but it doesn't look as big as it does in the pics.
Looks like glock21 and I are trying to get a trail run together for next Thursday. Is anyone interested in tagging along? Something relatively mellow and close would be ideal as my buddy is potentially brining his stock Tacoma.
it looks like big bird visited your truss :P
[ROFL2] Indeed it does! Artec is the company who makes it and from what I gather it's so that the truss doesn't add an excessive amount of weight. It's the best truss I've seen so far. They make one for the rear axle as well that I may have to add on too.Quote:

Glad I noticed this thread. 89 YJ, 350, SOA, caged, 35s. When's the next run? Thursday? I've got no heat and cooling issues, but am dying to get out on the trails. I'll post some pics up when I get home.
We are going Thursday during the day it looks like. I have a Doc appointment at 0930 and then we will likely head out. Maybe meet at the gas station over by 285 and run something up that way?
^ Nice TJ! You in for next Thursday? I don't believe I've met a lot of the people in here so that needs to change! Anybody in here have a good tool set dialed in for the trail? What about on board air? I am in the process of getting my tools set up and I haven't been able to budget on board air yet. I just dumped a ton into the fab work, spare tire, and paying the rest of the Jeep off so I need to work some more OT!
thanks! I like it too. I'd be down for Thursday... but I have to work. Hopefully another time though.

If anything we should all try to get together some night with the Jeeps in the drive and parked on the street enjoying a few beers bsing about whatever. [rockon]
^ Sounds like a plan. My days off at Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday though so it will be have to be before 2000 hours because I start work at 2040 hours.
I have to work Thursday too. :( Won't be home until 5pm. How about another day next week/weekend? Anybody up for a run?
I can prob Sunday!Quote:

Edit - Looks like they closed a lot of the North Canyon trails on the 1st. :( It looks like it's going to be tough to find somewhere to wheel in NoCo.
What do we think about Slaughterhouse for Thursday? I keep meaning to get over there and never have.
Whos going?
