    Well, I'm single

    I was very hesitant to post anything here because honestly, I didn’t know if anyone would wanna hear it or even just tell me I shoulda stuck it out for better or worse. It’s absolutely the hardest thing I’ve ever went through and she has destroyed my self worth. I tried so hard to be a good...

    Well, I'm single

    The fighting is hard but I learned to just say in my shop and avoid her. It's the constant feeling/thoughts that you are treated to be something you're not. So many times were ruined by her accusations. Standing in a roller coaster line at Disney World with our kids and being accused of staring...

    This is what I do for a living

    Great work everyone! I worked in IT for 24 years and was the regional IT manager for one of the countries largest aggregate producers. I started up a contracting business 5 years ago doing general home maintenance and it exploded on me and allowed both my wife and I to quit our careers. In two...

    Well, I'm single

    I know that y'all don't know me very well as I've not been a member here for a really long time but I plan to be. We all share one big hobby. I've not been on here for the past few days because it's been a sad few days... Last week I left my wife. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to...

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    Sounds like it'll be a great setup. You'll have to post pics of it when finished and everything is mounted.

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    And if you fish a lot, you can set the kayaks up so effectively.. power poles to keep you exactly where you need to be, anchor trollies, inside hull storage for your rods, tackle, or batteries. Many of them have removable pods that allow you to mount a fish finder in the pod with the transducer...

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    And most fishing kayaks are sit on top, so you dont sit inside of them like the old school stuff you're thinking of. And way more stable than a canoe!

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    I've got sciatica so bad that for 3 months I was forced to lay on my stomach only, ate meals on my knees because I couldn't even sit. I'm slowly getting better and have back surgery scheduled in 3 weeks. But even through this, I still kayaked. You should take a look at a Kaku wahoo, or Zulu if...

    Would you pay 27k for this Unlimited?

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    Go rent a nice kayak for a day and you'll have all the answers you need. I spent a lot of time in a canoe and now could never go back to one. The kayak is just so nimble and way more comfortable than a canoe could ever think of being. Plus it's so easy to stand and fish in a yak. But they're not...

    Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

    My brother in law was here today so was picking his brain more on the jeep. Its not only got the the Hellcat engine but has a magtech supercharger in it. The data 80 axles were custom made for him by Dynatrack, has a custom twin stick 2SPD transfer and full billet 400 tranny. The entire jeep is...

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    I've got three different trailers but certainly don't want to have to haul my fishing kayaks on a trailer down some of the gnarly trails I go on. That's why I'm wanting to roof rack them. I use to haul a 16' canoe on top of my cherokee so I'd think a 12' Bonafide ss127 kayak would manage on top...

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    Yeah I'm not a fan of drilling into the body either. Most of the ones I've looked at appear to mount to the door hinges. I could deal with that.

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    I was just googling it and came across of a couple different racks that would work and don't look too bad. May end up going that route.

    Kayaks on the Jeep

    Anyone here haul a kayak on top of the Jeep? I'm definitely gonna need the ability to haul a 12' kayak for my fishing obsession.

    How to build a trail ready TJ Rubicon for under $12,000

    This one was lifted on 38's which didn't help. Plus he drove it like it was a mustang. The very first time his tranny went, he talked his grandmother into having it rebuilt for him and she put like 4k into a fancy performance rebuild. The very day he got it back he took it mudding really hard...

    When Jeepin' goes bad (aka why we have good roll cages)

    About 25 years ago me and 3 buddies were out wheeling with my best friend in his YJ and rolled 2.5 times down a very steep embankment and came to rest on our top all hanging by our seatbelts. We all came out unscathed just covered in beer. We rolled it back on it's wheels and made our way home...
