Got the suspension under it and dialed in on Saturday. Found out that my aftermarket track bar mount that I installed 2 years ago was not far enough forward for the front stretch. Cut it off and welded a new one on at work last Monday on my day off. In order to get it on the trailer to get to...

Got the front axle under the Jeep yesterday. It went in easily. There are a few clearance issues I'll have to address, but otherwise it fits nicely. Hoping to have the rear axle installed in the next day or two. In this picture the control arms are almost fully extended, the final resting...

Hope all is well with the family! Im getting excited to take it for a spin. It should come together nicely. I've been very happy with the welds. I'm surprising myself. Thank you. I appreciate it. The build is coming along nicely. haha. Thanks. I've been around welding most of my life...

Well, I've now passed the point of no return. I am hoping that over the next few weekends I can get things buttoned up so that I can have some shakedown time before EJS. This last Monday I was able to finish welding the frame side control arm mounts, weld the new coil mounts for the 1-2" front...

One of my goals is to get out on at least a couple trips with RME this year. I'd like to explore Vernal, return to the swell and run the Devil's Racetrack, and spend some more time at Sand Hollow. Being that 5 Mile Pass and AF canyon are close and easy access, I've beat these areas to death...

Loved reading the thread. I admired your camo LJ, and like where you're headed with this new one. What was your process with your front stretch? Is it just a matter of new coil buckets on the axle and moving the track bar mounting on the frame forward?

Nice iteration. That may do just the trick. Is the magnet anything special?

A few updates to this: Since originally posting this I grenades my NP231 w/ Teralow 231HD. I was wheeling at Sand Hollow returning to the highway from Milt's Mile and must have over revved the planetary gears because it started making noises (more than it already did) and upon inspection the...

Nice to see pics of your build now that we've been chatting it up lately regarding suspensions.

I work for Equal-i-zer hitch. I have a solution for you, and prevent you from dragging the shank through gutters when using it. Contact me if interested. You can install the hitch ball roughly 2" higher than the coupler, and still get it to function correctly. We'd only need to get you...

Input on my plan for installation? I bought a Poison Spyder Trail Cage Kit. Plan is to weld sheet or expanded metal between the the 2 center stringers that run from the "b-pillar" up to the a-pillar, then mount both the CB and ham in that location. Should I be worried of overheating with...

Part of Christmas this year included a Poison Spyder trail cage for the TJ. I'm looking to get it installed in the next couple months. After getting it welded, I'd like to take the entire cage to sand blast and powder coat the cage. Who do you recommend, location? Hard to tell exactly, I...

Thanks for the clarification Dempsey. Still figuring out my understanding of antenna 101. I'd like to position it at the back of the Jeep either at the top of my tire carrier or if there's a way to do it using one of Teraflex's behind the brake light antenna mounts, I'd consider that as well...

Unfortunately, I have not. Still deciding on mounting location, and finding a good NGP antenna. I know that's not ideal particularly for propagation, but that's the route I'm headed. Input on NGP 2m 1/4 wave antennas?

HA. No comment. I’m on borrowed time with an HP30. Fun to experiment in the loose stuff, don’t think I’ll be trying that on slickrock.

Thank you. I try to keep it in good shape. It’s got a manual. I’ll have to give that a shot next time I’m in the Jeep.

Had the day off today and went out to Rattlesnake / and parts of Constrictor and Sidewinder. It’s a complete DUST BOWL out there, as expected for the dry year. Driving through Fairfield, I spotted over 5 dirt devils going at the same time as well as a herd of speed goats. There’s all sorts...

I had already planned a trip the same weekend with my father and brother. Plan already was to do Golden Spike on Friday, then Moab Rim and other trails on Saturday. What time do you usually head out for the day? I wouldn't mind wheeling with you at least up til Where Eagles Dare on Friday.

Well, I succumbed to a labor day sale on Ham Radio Outlet. Bought an FT-2980R for $130. We'll how it goes, if I still want 70cm for wheeling, I'll put this in the tow pig.
