    The corners were made by a guy here local. They are a full length 3/16" sheet with the jeep curve bent in them.

    The rebirth of my Jeep and the return to Moab!!!

    Some of you know that my Jeep went through a nasty accident nearly 5 years ago. Well, we were able to finally get it together and out to Moab and boy was it a great trip! We ran Hell's Revenge including Hell's Gate, Moab Rim at night, Rusty Nail, and the Pickle with my wife driving before...

    ATV trip to Moab, questions

    Some of you might be familiar with my nasty accident while towing my Jeep home from Moab last summer! Well the Jeep is not done yet, so I am having to change my Colorado/Moab tip around a bit. . . A buddy and I are heading to Moab for a couple days, this coming weekend, and I was wondering...

    Need some help for a wife of a deployed member

    We test drove a chevy pickup and the speedo was not working. The dealer told us that it is common enough that they had the cluster on hand to replace it, so I would be that it needs a whole cluster assembly!

    What happens when someone pulls a u-turn in front of you at 85mph

    We were in the left, she was in the right lane. 3 car lengths is an estimate because I was not the one driving and was not doing calculations. She headed into our lane at an angle to get into the approach in the median to turn around. There is no way for her to turn 90 degrees to make the...

    That orange thing is my slip joint off of the front output CV. My buddy that rebuilt my last driveshaft thought it would be funny to paint it all orange!

    I did not want to exploit the other party's incident, but here is one shot of the van: Otherwise, feel free to disscuss the cage. Ifeel bit held up pretty well. All the 1 3/4" is stuff I put in. "X" brace in the main B hoop, dash bar with braces, and rear halo over back seat.

    What happens when someone pulls a u-turn in front of you at 85mph

    I do not have the heart to tell Kent about it! I still have not recovered my heart from my feet. Right now I am not even sure if rebuilding is my option. I have only had the thing for two years and was dead set on taking great care of it and keeping it forever. . . I never foresaw this!

    Still workin on the insurance stuff! We had full coverage on everything, but we will see what happens. Jeep was strapped using ratchets. It appears that once one broke, the other 3 were able to slack up.

    What happens when someone pulls a u-turn in front of you at 85mph

    What happens when someone pulls a u-turn in front of you at interstate speeds I didn't know where to post this up, but after a week of wheelin in Moab and Montrose, it was time to head home to Nebraska. About 10 hours into the trip we blew a tire on the trailer. Fixed it in record time and hit...

    Frame stretch questions

    I would love to claim that I did the work on mine, but my 5 was stretched 22" behind the door and in front of the rear wheel well, then the axles were pushed as far forward and back as was necessary to have a 110" WB. I thought it was a 6 when I first saw it for sale: I do not have access...

    First trip to South Dakota!

    I do not have any maps. This was part of the glory of meeting Brent and Cory there, they go a few times a year and know their way around. I ran the GPS while we wheeled, but have no idea how to transfer that to a map. The trails that we were on are all in the camp 5 area about halfway between...
