I did it again, spent the last year driving a VW instead of a Jeep.  I never did feel just right.  I went down to the dealer to just look and drove home with a 2016 Jeep Wrangler 24S in Hydro Blue.  Plans will change I am sure as the Jeep gets a few miles on it.   Long term I plan on picking up...

I acquired a gently used 09 JKU frame today.  Slight tweak to the drivers control arm mount and a 9mm diamond in the rails.  Easy fix for me.   My plan is to modify the frame, install the LS swap, a pair of Dynatrack axles.  Then buy a drivable JKU along the way and swap the frame and drivetrain...

Anyone here know anything about Home AC systems.    My air handler, inside and where the filter sits.  

Well, after a Year and a month, we are finally under contract to buy.  Yes, it has a 2 car extra deep garage, 3 bed and 2.5 bath.   It's in one of those gated communities down here in Florida, so not so much work going on in the home garage.  At least it will fit the Jkrew once it's finished.  ...

Jeep beach is just 2 weeks from today.  Who's going and what days?   I cannot go till Saturday which is a bummer, but being so close I really feel like I have to.   [beard]    

For the longest time I have wanted to build things.  In this thread I want to give examples of the shop equipment I would buy if I was to start up a fabrication shop.  First off Baliegh has some of the most affordable options.  http://metal.baileighindustrial.com/bead-roller-br-18e-36...

I want to begin the planning stages for a trip in Dumpster.  I would like to drive her to Moab and back.  I do not want to deny myself this experience if I did decide to sell the Jeep one of these days.  The trip will also give other people a chance to check out the rig as I make my trek up...

Who's got them?  What do you love about them?  Are they a single or tandem?  Which do you like best?  How do you haul them?  Diana and I are planning on buying a tandem very soon.  We were just wondering how everyone like theirs.  What you use it for?  Plan on hauling a tandem on the top of...

Painting the Accord to get it ready to sell. 

Well guys exactly 4 Mondays from now I will have finished my first day at my new Job in a new state.  I am no stranger to Florida, but it's been almost 9 years since I lived there.  I am ready to have one season again.  You guys can have the cold,snow, allergy season, and crazy storms.  They...

Here it is guys.  I am always tired, hurting and overall just miserable.  I have had a few stints of depression.  I think it all points at my unhealthy addiction to Red Bull, and processed foods.  I don't eat much fast food at all, I eat 3-4 meals a day.  And I drink way to much Dr pepper and...

So, I have to plan for my future.  I can't tell you guys how many times someone has asked or commented on my TJ truck.  Everyone is always asking " Do you think you would be interested in building this kind of truck for the public?"  Yes, I think about it all the time.  AEV is going to stop...

This is the place for all those little or large Jeep projects or ideas that YOU never got to do.  Post up ideas you want to share of things that you can't afford , don't have the skills , or just don't have time to get to.  Maybe someone else could use the idea or project to help them in...

How about something in the near future?    Harlan Windrock Flats Anyone want to add to this list of suggestions?

I thought up this project in 2011 while looking at the tub and frame I purchased to take the AW4 out of it and scrap the rest.  I acquired a 1997 TJ project that had been abandoned by a few previous owners. I felt like the TJ needs another chance to make it out of the garage for good and not...
