Jeepers

[hurley842002]

It has the 10.5s on it. I think the 12.5s look a little too balloon like on the ZJs. Sucks gas but it drives nice.

Even better! Hard to tell from pics. I always thought 10.5's were a much better size than 12.5's.

spent three years building this with my then 15 year old son, sold it last year, he never liked the off road we switched to Duramax, you name it, it had it; built axles, lockers, custom built transmission, oh yeah and a supercharger

Nice Jeep.

Here is a much younger "the dude" in a YJ I built with my Dad. Obviously, lockers help! This is Terminator trail just North of Phoenix.
It makes me sick to think about what I traded it for. Not quite as built as yours, but... Tera 4:1, Tera SYE / short shaft and therefore new driveshaft, F/R ARBs, then Ford 8.8 with discs and another new rear ARB, warn winch, synth line, warn alloy front axles and warn manual hubs, PSC front cage welded in, custom lock boxes, custom 4x4x1/4 rockers, TJ flares with cutting, etc. I don't know what else and don't want to think about it.


I once drove it cross country from Charleston, SC to Moab and back. (Ouch)
This is why I bought a CTD and a tow dolly. Eventually, my wife wanted to get rid of it for a new 4 door JK, which I obliged. The JK was the worst vehicle I've ever owned and after 6 jeeps, 4 of which were lifted, I hate that the JK made me hate jeep, which used to be my favorite thing.

Couldn't agree more. I did not like my JK at all after owning a nice TJ! Sold it off quickly after dumping 7k into RK lift, armor, 37s, etc. Would love to build a Cummins CJ or an LJ in the future. No more JKs for me!

I read through the first 30 pages of this thread the other day and have been meaning to pm you and ask how things were going with the Jeep, and in general. I'm not real Jeep knowledgeable, so you'll have to remind me which chassis style your white Jeep was.

Anybody else going to EJS in March? 50th anniversary. Quite a cluster trying to get a group trail booked this year.

Standard reply:
Wild horses couldn't drag me to Moab that weekend.

A local friend built an FJ40 with both of his kids (son and daughter). Both are excellent builds and the kids still talk about building with Dad.

Club trip through the Prairie Divide Road over to Lost Lake north of Red Feathers. Most of the snow had melted but there were still some big drifts to bust through.



















The ice was a little thin in at least one spot. Took two winches with both vehicles anchored to another vehicle.
