    Some pics from Raush Creek. My buddy who I went with has an 06 Rubicon and some Raush experience. Jeep did great on the 2 hour drive each way and wheeled all day including a few black trails.

    This thread is going to be a work in progress as I find more pictures. I'm going to be editing and fixing this as I go! I just wanted to finish out the tub and paint work, but at the same time we were working on the tub we received the mint frame from the Southwest and were working on that. I...

    Hi all! I'm going to start making my build thread for my father son build from four years ago. Meant to make a thread as I was going, but was too busy working! Haha. In 2015-2016 my Dad and I rebuilt a 1998 TJ 4.0 5speed with a rotted frame, tired motor and burnt up Dana 35. Below is what she...
