    Tire warranties

    When I bought my last Jeep it came with some oversized tires and fancy rims. Due to having no lift on the Jeep (Grand Cherokee) I couldn't turn the wheel all the way without rubbing so I went back to boring stock tires and rims. I have the tires on KSL and even though the tires are basically new...

    What made you realize you weren't young anymore?

    Last night my son and I went up to see if we could find an elk for his limited entry permit. Last Saturday we had so many other people show up that the big boys left the area. Last night we were the only ones in the area and he got one, a 5x6 that wasn't as big as the one he saw Saturday but...

    Wanted CJ or YJ Windshield frame.

    I need to look for the sales slip to figure out what I paid for it. If I can't find the slip I'll try to come up with a reasonable amount.

    Wanted CJ or YJ Windshield frame.

    I have a YJ windshield frame that I picked up as a spare for my CJ but found out I would have to cut defroster vents into it. It is a new frame with new glass and painted red.

    Trip Report Problems in Price

    You have too many connections at the battery all going through on bolt. I would run a beefy wire from the battery to a large terminal block where the load can be handled better.

    Jeep trailer plug enable

    I took the Jeep down to the Jeep dealership on State Street and 21st and asked what it would cost to program the plug. They said to pull it in so I did. When I asked what it cost they said nothing, kudos to the service guys.

    Commando Crawler Build

    Have you tried to put the tub on yet ? Commandos have dual body mounts (two mounts per frame location) and won't line up with the TJ mounts. Fun to see another 73 build, my 73 Commando build is here on RME as the family commando build project...

    Jeep trailer plug enable

    Just picked up a 2017 Grand Cherokee and put a hitch in it for towing. I am now finding out that the factory trailer wiring and plug have to be enabled by the dealer. I did go online and found guys using a certain scanner and optional software to allow them to turn the function on but of course...

    Backpacking chair for the obese?

    I have never carried in a chair when backpacking, I just sit on rocks or logs. I am old and scrawny so every ounce matters.

    Uncovered damage to my grandsons Jeep

    I found a guy on KSL parting out the exact same Jeep and picked up the front axle for less than the junk yards wanted. He even let me cut out the damaged unibody section we needed.

    Uncovered damage to my grandsons Jeep

    My grandson was leaving High school the other day and another kid pulled out and hit his Jeep. The other kid told the police officer that it was my grandson's fault but I don't think the officer wanted to deal with the problem since he said "there's not that much damage and you both were at...

    New cars are worse than old cars

    I learned how to drive in a 68 Camaro and wheel in a 59 Chev Apache 4x4 so the new stuff is nice but I like the old stuff for its simplicity and the memories that come with it.

    Watch out for mailbox thieves

    Yesterday around 5:30 AM my son and I both heard a truck driving slowly up our street. I went to the front door and saw a full sized pickup in front of my neighbor's mailbox but it drove away before I could run and get my phone and take a picture. Once it got light we could see that all of the...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    I fixed the leaky shower fixture this morning, I figured it would take most of the day running around looking for the valves for a nearly 40 yr old fixture. But Englands had them. The fix went so well I went out and lowered the front end of my Jeep to level it out. It looks much better now.

    Funny, personal story...

    When I was 12 we were up fishing at strawberry and I caught a nice fish. When I was cleaning it I tossed the guts out in the lake without looking. I heard my older brother who was sunbathing in his kayak start using my name in vain and coming faster than I have ever seen a kayak move. He was...
