    Ultimate Alaskan Camper Trailer Build

    The offroad trailer i built out of a Jeepster with the RTT felt very top heavy until installing some high quality shocks on it. This simple mod made all the difference. I understand the desire to reduce the weight, dropping just a few hundred pounds makes a big difference in how it pulls...

    Moab hot rod show last weekend in April!

    Went to this a couple years ago, what a great event. We were driving down the main street while everyone was cruising. We stopped at a light where a bunch of people were watching hotrodders burnout. I asked the crowd if they wantednto see me "light it up", the shouted, "lightnit up", so I...

    Some people have got guts

    The picture of the Hurst on the cover page of Jp was suppose to be of mine but didn't get the pics to them soon enough. They ended up using a friend of mine, Russel Whitkup. He bought the stripe kit and hood scoop from me, I bought the hood tach from him

    What if? An Alternative to a Dual Battery System Concept

    Sounds like you have been following me around. This is pretty much how we camp, minus the massage chair but add in the projection/dvd player for movies under the stars. We carry a 60 watt, (or is it a 60 amp, never can remember which it is), foldup solar panel. This will comfortably recharge...

    Found a couple of pictures of the trailer hooked to the Jeepster. The tow bar does not stay on the front of the Jeepster, had it on right after the build was finished. Since I did the work, didn't trust it not breaking down.

    Restoring headlight lenses

    The clear headlight lenses on a couple of our cars have been slowly degrading and turning yellowish, almost to the point you think one light must be out due to the deminished birghtness. I've noticed offers around town to restore the lenses from $79.00 to $125.00. My brother told me to use...
