    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    I don't have a link handy, but if you search here on the forum I remember seeing a really great guide someone wrote up for rust proofing our Jeeps.

    Man don't think that thought hasn't crossed my mind either haha :ROFLMAO: From the standpoint of someone who does a lot of camping with their Jeep, an LJ would elevate things a lot comfort wise lol

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    That's kind of where my mindset is right now. It's been a frustrating back and forth in my head, sometimes I even jump to a scenario where I have 2 TJs....I'm a wreck hahah

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    This one was patched together and repaired from a bucket of rust to be what it is now, and don't get me wrong it was done well by the people I got to work on it, but it's all the little imperfections, and all the patchwork that can be seen underneath. For me it just comes down to not having...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    I've gotten stuck in a bit of a limbo with the Jeep atm and what it's future is going to be. I've come into a decent chunk of disposable income, and have a property selling next month. So it's had me contemplating the Jeep and possibilities and now I'm toying with the idea of finding a nice...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    Thanks guys! I have a blast driving it lol It's just something that puts a smile on my face every time I'm in it. I honestly never expected peoples reactions around town to be as big as they are. Seeing kids reactions is priceless, especially if I'm just driving in the middle of nowhere, I...

    I haven't really done any work to the Jeep to warrant any real "updates" so to speak. I'm running 2WD right now while I wait for a driveshaft replacement. But it seems as good a time as any for a random pic dump because as we all know...This thread is worthless without pics lol Nothing too...

    Recovery gear vs. security gear

    I'm sorry me having a discussion with people and pointing out social differences in parts of the world seems to have struck a nerve with your insecurities 🤷‍♂️ Hope your day gets better lil fella.

    Recovery gear vs. security gear

    It's not "leftist drivel", there's nothing political about my comment, I was just pointing out the social differences based on where people live. Most people just don't care about guns as much here. Don't get your stars and stripes all in a bunch Super Trooper.

    Recovery gear vs. security gear

    I gotta say it's always blown my mind people's need to carry a gun in their car lol Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that you guys are able to do it, it's just always interesting to see the contrast when it comes to what people are concerned about/need to be concerned about. Where I'm...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    I'm semi-undecided at the moment, if I do they'll probably be gold like on the movie Jeep, or black, something to break up the color scheme a little bit. I'm assuming you mean on the side by the front fender where JEEP is stamped in? haha I was wondering after I posted if anyone from there...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    No fun changes to the Jeep lately, just been driving it and enjoying it the last couple weeks. I really only have 3 things on my priority list. - I need a new back window for my soft top - I need to attach the glass to the mirror on my passenger side - and I need to get my fog lights wired...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Installed my Trektop today. This top came with the Jeep when I bought it so I expected to be missing some parts but it wasn't too bad. It didn't come with the proper door surrounds, they work fine, they just don't have the section to clip in the center bar or the hinge function for the trektop...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    hahah I was wondering the same thing but if you look at one of the pictures of the rear tire carrier, you can see they actually cut the license plate so the tailgate will open.

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    I'll try the lube tomorrow, I'd be a happy camper if that helps haha I was keeping the idea of dropping the drive shaft if I need to depending on how much of a hassle I'll have getting a ujoint tomorrow. We just went into another 2 week lockdown here so trying to get things done right now is...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I was just checking that out, that's really cool. I've always wanted a RHD, even if I think it would give me a headache trying to get used to haha

    Not a ray of sunshine to be found this week or the one coming up but I did manage to get enough of a dry spell to get the door decals put on. These were made on a friends Cricut machine, and admittedly aren't 100% perfect, but I mean that's absolutely fantastic IMO for trying this for the first...
