    Moab on the Bike

    Thinking of heading down to Moab next week for a little dirt bike trip. Weather looks nice and I need to get out. What's your favorite trail on two wheels?

    5.3 Swap to CJ7

    This motor is a drive by cable. It was not my original intention to put a 700r4 behind this 5.3. The 700r4 was purchased for my original 327 that I was going to build. When the opportunity came up for the 5.3, the 327 was sold.

    5.3 Swap to CJ7

    I will more than likely keep everything stock. Depending on what happens at the machine shop that is.... I have done a lifetime of research on these engine and swaps, and yes I did know about the adapter for the 700r, thanks. After I opened up the engine I was very disappointed in the carbon...

    5.3 Swap to CJ7

    Thanks Greg, I git interrupted before I could finish my post. I'll be running a 700R4 and the D 300. Jeep is too nice to do any "hardcore" wheeling, but it will see some trail use. That is great to hear that Wayne does some harness work, I wounder if he can flash also. Most 2002 were not drive...

    Machine Shop

    It's time to drop the 350 into the CJ7, but before I do I want to make sure the engine is perfect. Anyone want to recommend a top quality machine shop that they have had excellent service with?

    Sand Blasting

    I have started rebuilding my FJ40 hard top and have a piece or two that needs a little blast cleaning. Anyone have any recommendations to a good local sand blasting company? I know armor coatings blasts to coat, but I don't know if they blast only. Thanks,

    Forest Lake Outfitters

    Forest Lake has been abused for years. There are those that see it as a way of testing out their junk and there are those that want people to stay out. Unless someone says otherwise, is there any signage around the lake that says "stay out dumbass"? If you are a young, uneducated kid trying to...

    AF Single

    Interesting statement. To me, it seems that the challenge of riding is removed. Isn't half of the battle of riding the challenge of riding using a clutch? I'm 50+ years old, I just picked up dirt bike riding in January because my boy wanted a bike. I'm not unfamiliar to riding or offloading...

    AF Single

    So I have a buddy that tried to sell me on a recluse and I get why they are so cool. But, not using a clutch and shifting gears just seems wrong to me. Before I go back I want to put a lower gear on to make it easier to navigate. I also need to add some bike protection. My son went down hard and...

    AF Single

    So we hit the AF Single on Saturday and I can honestly say that I was not expecting a ride like we did. That was one of the funnest, exhausting, technical, beautiful and educational trails I/we have ever done. I can't say enough of how much we appreciated Von showing up to guide us around. His...

    Rzr or jeep

    Remember, there are those that can't afford to spend this kind of money and there are those that can. There is no problem spending 20-30K on a toy if you can afford it ;)

    Rzr or jeep

    So what most of you are saying really isn't related to Jeep vs Side by Side because if you own a true Rock Buggy the pros and cons are the same. SXS and buggies need to be trailered, have no heater or AC, etc. So really, isn't the debate on what you prefer to drive? This post could go on for...
