Sorry for the late announcement. Haven’t been on for a long while. We are having a Vintage Jeep Rally up here in Pocatello. This weekend. Sand dunes and rocks Friday, Scenic trail and Jeep Show Saturday and a lava rock trail Sunday. There’s going to be some great vintage iron coming. Also check...

91 to 95 YJ then.

Super duty has the intercooler, and i think the interiors are more comfortable.

Heres the homemade sliders, this was the first tubing i've ever bent. This is the trunk slide/organizer we built, it works great Tire carrier, wasn't so easy since the bumper was designed to be tight to the body and not have a tire carrier. Made the gas can carrier removable since most trips...

If they do make a truck with a diesel and the nukizer front clip I will be camped out at the dealership waiting for the first one off the truck. However jeep likes to tease us with awesomeness then let us down.

I added some fordyce pics. I need to clear some space on photo bucket to do some more.

Just to fill your mind with more good ideas, my friend has a 97 CC PSD, with axles and suspension from a 2008 super duty. It rides like a dream, couldn't be that hard to do on a van....

That's the Maverik in my hood! Needless to say anyone who has been watching roadkill has had the same thoughts. How bout a supercharger on the v6 until it blows up? At least give us a burn out video with the little tires before you swap them out?

I have no idea on WJs but this trick does work on XJs and ZJs. When the alarm is acting up use your key in the trunk to lock/unlock the vehicle.

Fordyce is a tough and awesome trail, the Stranger Danger Ranger didn't get to go, and the Dude Magnet stayed in camp. Ill work on getting the picture up in the next day or two.

An XJ set up right could do better than 15 mpg and still be a capable wheeler. Mine with a manual transmission 4.56s and 33 10.50s would get near 20 mpg running between 70-75 mph. You should be able to get a pretty nice one within your budget. Just my 2 cents.

You could run from one end to the other in a day with a couple of decent rigs. However it really is worth taking your time. We were on the trail for three days to run from Tahoe to loon lake and back. Next time I would like to take four days.

Onward to Fordyce, for Sierra Trek we set up camp at Meadow Lake that is basically at the end of Fordyce trail. The trail is roughly 12 miles, to get from camp to the trail head was roughly 50 miles 20 on dirt . We wanted to be in the front of the group and decided to gas up in Truckee on our...

Heres old sluice, at the top of the picture is how far i made it. I was doing just fine until i heard a very heartbreaking "BANG". After some keen observation it was determined either a c-clip broke or the axle shaft broke, seeing as my tire was an extra foot out the driver side...

We finally got the chance to head to the famed Rubicon trail we headed out from the Lake Tahoe side with 5 rigs. 2 CJ7s with SBCs 44/9s 37s locked etc., a YJ 7 with a 4Bt 44/60 open/open 35s, My dads stranger danger ranger jp30/8.8 locked rear 33s and my craptastic Cherokee 30/8.25 locked rear...

You can always tell who doesn't work on their own Jeeps.

Sweet van you got it just in time for cheap diesel. Dream vehicle for me. We have a 97 7.3 CC and love it. We run a Banks down pipe, no cat, AEM cold air intake and an edge CS tuner with pyrometer. Seems to be a good combo with not much smoke.

I prefer vehicles that have links on the front and leafs in the back. They do well in most conditions as long as you control wheel hop. With links front and rear it requires a lot of math to figure roll center, anti squat etc. (all of which is over my head)

Anyone else from RME heading to the Rubicon or Sierra Trek this coming week? We will be running the Rubicon from the 2nd to the 4th. Then we will be doing Sierra Trek on the 6th and 7th.
