    Can you name that trail

    Not quite, the trail does go up to an old mine but is one mountain range farther west and north of Jacob City.

    Can you name that trail

    Yes, any ideas on the others ? Hint they are all in the west desert.

    Can you name that trail

    Here are a few that should be a challenge. Most trails don't have names so I'll settle for mountain ranges or canyon names.

    Hope this wasn't someone from here.

    So it was an Excursion .... I guess I don't know my Fords very well. When we went by I paid most of my attention to the rolled trailer and 4Runner. The emergency crews were in the way of my view of the SUV.

    I agree they shouldn't have been towing what they were. My son in law had seen them at the Tucker rest stop and was worried. I found it odd that they made it all the way through Spanish Fork Canyon but lost it in a flat, straight mellow area.

    We had a group of six jeeps my son's red Comanche, my brother's orange Rubicon, my late brothers yellow Rubicon, my son in laws white XJ, my nephews white XJ and my niece's black Grand Cherokee. We would have been there about that time.

    Hope this wasn't someone from here.

    Yeah I hope no one was hurt. We had planned to be in Moab till late Saturday however life took an unpleasant turn this week. My brother (and embabe's dad) had been battling cancer and was looking forward to going down for one last jeep trip. We rented a house and had lined up all of the things...

    Hope this wasn't someone from here.

    On our trip to Moab Thursday for our annual family Jeep trip there were two rollovers that we saw on the way down. One was a pickup just outside of Moab and the other was a fellow off-roader just outside of Helper. The rig that rolled near Helper was a triple rig, they had an Expedition pulling...

    Its a sad day at the Beck household

    They must really like big exhaust stacks in Richfield, the last time we were visiting the kids down there we saw an ATV in a guy's yard with a big diesel stack sticking up in the air.

    Fab shop in Richfield? Is it worth opening one?

    Maybe you could help get my son in law who lives in Richfield to finally finish his Jeep project so he doesn't have to bum rides to Moab.

    XJ Custom Long Arm Fab

    It is hard to see from the pictures but the upper mounts come off the top of the crossmember and aim up near the floor about 5 inches in front of the crossmember. I patterned it after the BDS XJ four link long arm kit. If you look at their web site you can see how they do the upper control arms...

    XJ Custom Long Arm Fab

    I built a custom long arm setup for my son's MJ, it is a four link and there are a couple of pictures of it in this thread: http://www.rockymountainextreme.com/showthread.php?t=63572&highlight=monster It has worked out very well, wheels great and rides very nicely down the road.

    Yet another LONG build thread

    I built up a 72 3/4 4x4 and drove it for many years. Wish I hadn't sold it. I used to have lots of spare parts for them but gave most of it away.

    Jeep Xj Engine

    Watch out for the direction of rotation on the water pump some of the serpentine belt setups turn the pump in the opposite direction and I don't remember if the xj is one of the oddballs. On my CJ when I put in the 4.0 I used the front brackets and accesories from a TJ which had the fan in the...

    Jeep Xj Engine

    The ECM on a 90 is mounted inside the jeep and on a 92 the ECM is in the engine compartment so there would be alot of wiring changes. I would think that swapping the 92 long block in while keeping the wiring, intake, and exhaust from the 90 should work just fine.
