    Land Use: Practical Observations

    My last trip up American Fork Canyon was riding my KLR650 with my good friend on his. These are the ultimate Utah exploration machines and we had a great ride up to Forrest Lake. This gave me the opportunity to watch a non-RMEer, a non-BRCer, and non-U4er, but a great guy who loves the Utah...

    "The Best Part" Commercial

    Thought I'd mention that my cousin and his friends produced this commercial for the Doritos Super Bowl ad contest. Now they're in the final 5 that get to go to the super bowl and see if their commercial is picked to be shown during it. Then, if theirs shows, they get a chance to place in USA...

    M101 Aluminum Trailer Lid

    This summer I designed and built a hinged aluminum trailer lid for a local FJ40 owner (who hasn't succumbed to RME yet) and thought there might be some interest if I posted it here. His posts about this project can be found on expedition portal. You can see more pictures and comments there if...

    FREE "Drive-In" Off Road Movie Night

    XJ parts on Mythbusters

    Just a weird thing I noticed on a recent episode, Crash and Burn, was that they used an XJ gas tank to test what would happen if you completely squashed a full tank of gas. They tapped a couple boxes of strike anywhere matches to the top so when the large weight fell on it, it would ignite the...

    Pizza Pie Cafe - Provo

    This is a pizza place that just opened a few weeks ago. We powder coated their door hardware for the grand opening, and I've been meaning to try it out. My wife went there with some friends and said it was pretty busy, but the food was good. They have a salad bar, pasta, and pizza. There's one...

    Primary or Back-Up(Oven)?

    Would any of you use this as your only source of baking for a multi-day? Seems slightly easier than the dutch oven process. No charcoal, no smoke, etc. They say it will work even on an overcast day. Has anyone seen one work? http://www.sunoven.com/

    Tool Sharing Network

    I remember when I was starting out building stuff for the XJ how "fun":rolleyes: it was to have to cut steel or to join parts together. I DREADED the thought of having to cut or drill any piece of steel that was thicker than 1/16". Anyone else? I remember my cousin, Kendall, and I would borrow...

    I bought 2 joints before I bought 2 joints...

    ...and then I bought 2 more. Went to Summit Machine yesterday to get front end joints for the ExJ. I went with Mike's recommendations on an XL Flex Joint on the frame end of the radius arms and a large poly bushing on the axle end. For the lower end of the upper radius arm link, I'm using the...

    Which Weighs More?

    One of the front wheels of a standard 4x4 (let's say a TJ loaded with passengers and gear) or one of the rear wheels? So, if you could put a scale at the top of an RTI ramp, drive up it forwards or backwards, and weigh the wheel that's on the ramp, would it be a front tire or rear that weighs...

It doesn't look like the guy just painted it (illegal) - It looks like it was made that way. It looks like a vintage plate, especially because...
