    Snow wheeling 31 mile road

    Went wheeling in the Santa Fe National Forest with @TJ Starting and @Desert Roamer today. They live in Texas, but @Desert Roamer met me when he came to buy a set of beadlocks I had for sale. He mentioned how he and @TJ Starting wanted to do some snow wheeling, and I told him if they ever wanted...

    XJ cold weather electric issue

    I have a 99 XJ that me and my son have been working on for a few years to get it ready as his first vehicle. He has a learner's permit, and it's going great. I have 1 recurring issue that I can't seem to resolve, largely because I hate electronics. 🤣 when it gets below freezing, his radio loses...

    What are you cooking today?

    So a bunch of us seem to like food pics, but there's not a thread on it.

Honestly I Hate cooking this meal, because it takes soooo much...

    Tub Drain Holes

    So I took my doors off in preparation to wash out my tub. Lots of dust and grit in the floorboards. There are round plugs in the front floorboards, but they are not in the drain channels. The rear footwells dont have any drains at all. What is in the drain channels is some kind of sealant...

    SOLD (4) Steel Trail Ready beadlocks

    I bought these secondhand last year with clapped out 33" BFGs on them. A buddy wanted the tires for his farm truck, so i traded him the tires for the "cost" of removing them from the rims. Ran them for about 2 months while saving for the rims/tires I wanted. If I was keeping them, I'd probably...

    Mud and snow near the Pumice mines

    I was texting with @WHBNM a couple weeks back and told him that I heard of some wheeling prospects near some pumice mines. He said that he knew where I was talking about, that the Pumice mines were on Pueblo land, but there was some pretty trails out that way. Nothing technical, but worth a good...

    Son's first ride! 99 XJ

    About 2 years ago, I picked up a 99 XJ with 155k for $3500 (prices have gotten stupid since then!). It needed a bunch of little maintenance stuff, but overall was in really good shape. It's a 4 door with the 4.0 and the AW-4 tranny and no rust issues. It was a good start. My son was 12 at the...

    Forest Road 144, or 31 Mile Road

    Thursday me and @WHBNM were emailing back and forth. I invited him to join me wheeling next weekend, but he has other plans scheduled. Instead, he told me he had been thinking of taking forest road 144 (known locally as 31 mile road... I don't know why, because it was around 56 miles long) from...

    Tom Wood driveshaft lost a weight

    I was under my jeep this morning checking my Johnny Joints, and I saw this. Anyone ever seen this before? I'm not blaming Tom Wood, I know they make great parts and take pride in their work, but this has happened since I last checked the driveshaft, and I haven't done ANY wheeling since then. I...

    V8 swapped TJ, $12k, Northern NM

    Local ad on Facebook. I don't know the guy, but a coworker knows him. I believe he works for the National Park Service. Coworker says his hobby is building up vehicles. After they get finished he tends to get bored of them and sells them. I'm not sure of the quality of work, but it looks like a...

    Craiger Nomads

    Anyone else a fan of white "wagon wheels"? Gives a nice old school feel in my opinion. Just got these in and hope to order a set of BFG KM3's in 35x12.5r15 in the next few weeks. Plus, they'll look great when I'm towing my trailer! 😆

    Whine under mild acceleration

    Hey all! So, I just did an axle swap with 4.88 gears, 4 inch lift, new steering linkage, new TW driveshafts, and SS SYE. I also put some really worn out 33's on it I picked up for cheap. Obviously I'm getting some road noise from the clapped-out tires, but I am also getting a weird whine that...

    Grizzlys on my XJ

    I gotta say, the Grizzlys I took off my TJ really look great on the XJ. No real substance to this post other than enjoying my "other" jeep.

    SOLD The least desireable TJ axles for free (ish)

    Dana 30/35 complete axles. Geared to 3.07, from a '97 TJ. They did fine for me, but I upgraded to 44's, and these are sitting behind my shed. I doubt anyone WANTS these axles, but perhaps someone NEEDS a set to get their rig running. If that someone is you, come pick em up for a 12 pack of...

    Air locker help

    Hey all! While tearing into my axles to run a gear pattern, I ran across an air locker in the front diff of my Dana 44 I'm rehabbing. While not necessarily a problem, I was told by the guy I bought my axles from that it had an e-locker in the front and an ARB air locker in the rear. He may have...
