Here's Glen on the Billings ledge. Making it look easy...like he did all weekend! https://vimeo.com/216427608 https://vimeo.com/216428421

What a great group! What a great trip! What great trails! Thanks, Greg, for taking the time to show us the way, running the entire time taking pictures and posting the report! Looking forward to checking out more trails in the area. Rock Junction is definitely in my sights. I have video of...

You could certainly add shackle points (for d-rings, I assume). I didn't. I just use the receiver that I welded in. The loop end of a tow strap fits right in and you put the pin through. No clanking sounds while you're going down the trail. Obviously, I added a "landing" point for the non-hinged...

Here's a picture I found on my phone from when I was building. Not great but it will give you an idea. I'll try to get some more soon. I took the Blue torch fab idea but used a 4x6, 1/4" rectangle tube as my bumper/rear cross member. It's the same width as the the frame so I cut and welded...

A little too late to take pictures now but my jeep is very similar to what you are describing. CJ look on a YJ tub and frame, swing out tire carrier for 40" tire and stretched as far as i could (110" wheel base) When you say " outboarding" front and rear, what do you mean? I out boarded my...

As mentioned earlier, air pressure makes a huge difference. Last year my brother thought he was stuck in the sand at Lake Powell in his Suburban until we dropped his Highway Tire's pressure down to about 20 and the Suburban floated right on top.

Wise move! He'll be money ahead. Either way has its share of modifications but in the end he'll have a much better drivetrain.

Then I would definitely suggest he search for the iron Duke 4 cylinder bell housing used in 1980 only. It will have a Chevy block pattern and the Jeep transmission bolt pattern. Found mine on eBay but that was years ago. I have read the same about strength. So, it should work...For a while.

I agree. Better to upgrade the transmission. Chevy nv 4500 or sm 465 would only require adapter to t-case and allow use of the Chevy bell housing. I run a tbi 350 and t-18. I was able to find a 1980 amc iron Duke 4 cylinder bell housing to adapt the transmission to the engine. This was a one...

Good! (because that was a cool truck and I have too many projects)

I am planning on wheeling in Moab April 27-30 with a group over car show weekend. I have tentatively planned on May 5-7 for GJ since we talked earlier in this thread. (I know, rough having to wheel two weekends in a row) I just need to know a definite if and when so I can make arrangements. I'm...

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I'm talking about 21 road and other Grand Junction area trails.

I have others that are interested but wanted to clear it with you. 1 to possibly 2 from Salt lake area and had mentioned the possibility to a couple from Moab Friends for Wheelin'. If you're game for a group or, as Greg suggested, make it open invite. You say, it's your trip, I'm just happy to...

Jinx, are you still planning on this? I can make it work but need to know if we're serious so I can get things scheduled.

Like others on here, I don't worry about my own vehicles because I maintain my stuff for my family's safety. I do, however, worry about the many others who simply don't know or care and the hazzard they pose. Many that fall in that category will be the type to not care about insurance either.

I had to type in 1.21G Otherwise, I got unexpected error.

Let me guess... ended up with with a Kawasaki?

Just think what it could be worth if he new how to turn right too...
