? Me too, I’m not happy about going from a custom tarp to a hardtop.

Some of you remember my ill fated attempt at fitting a LJ hardtop onto my build so I could measure for the cage. Needless to say it didn’t end well. Fortunately I have since been lucky enough to find another hardtop, so here we go Round 2. It needs a little love, but should be good enough for...

Man, looks like it’s performing great. Sorry I missed you at TH, Friday night was the only availability I had. Looking forward to Vernal, hopefully the weather holds out.

Oh man, that looks fun! I’ll have to make the next trip.

Yep, I was surprised at how affordable they are for the entire assembly with joint. Hopefully they are a significantly more robust assembly as well.

Thanks Tim, I agree the lights really helped finish the front. I also found someone to make the sections to close off the back of the front fenders. I was checking out his work on a couple of other builds and I think they will work great.

For EJS we ran Rusty Nail and Pritchett Canyon. Rusty Nail was a fun day, I was able to walk up everything for most of the trail. Then Jeff Stevens served me a slice of humble pie on a line he easily climbed, it took me several attempts to clear the obstacle. Obviously guilt ridden about it...

At the end of March my kids and I returned to Moab to assist on another trail project. This time the trail project was Pritchett, this would be a great opportunity to run the trail, while also offering a helping hand with the project labor. The jeep performed excellent on the trail, only being...

This sounds like great fun but I cannot join that weekend. Judgement Day is on my short term wheeling goal list.

Beginning of March I took it to Moab to help MFFW with a trail project on Metal Masher. The day before the project my wife and I ran the Pickle, it was fun because I talked my wife into driving it through a portion of the trail. Metal Masher was wet, so “denied” was the theme on the...

After the trip to SH for Winter 4x4 Jamboree I needed to do a little clearancing for the steering. I also mounted hydro bump stops in front and limit straps.

Nice work Tim! Your going to love the additional wheelbase and improved departure.

Very nice, sounds like it will be capable, comfortable, and fun! I watched a supercharged JKU at Sand Hollow that was having a lot of fun in the sand. He could roll up to the bottom of the dune and then rip up it. Whereas my 5.3 I needed to carry some speed and have the rpm’s before hitting...

Thanks guys! I agree, this photo is great! Well deserved photo credit goes to LJTim.

First trip to Sand Hollow for me, what an amazing place! I was quite impressed with the event, well organized, very capable trail leaders (at least for the trails I was on). We arrived late Thursday missing the rainstorms. We ran the new trail Fawlty Towers and John Trail which were both...

Thanks Greg.

It was a lot of fun! Thanks for showing us the trails, impressive seeing you drive all that stuff without a spotter.

Day two of the event, most the worries have passed. I'm still getting a feel for the balance and width of a new rig. I made one big climb, but it took several times rolling up on it before I felt ok with the balance.

I was really anxious the first morning of the event. Excited to get it on the trail, but couldn't shake the concerns of how it would perform. First day went very well, gaining comfort and confidence with each obstacle. There was a brief period of panic when I cleared a obstacle and a 1/2" lock...

Big push prior to Winter 4x4 Jamboree to get it ready. Winch and recovery points finished. My wife found some booster pads for my boys that fit nicely in the PRP seat. Gets their shoulders up in the harness better. Not enough time to figure out my hydraulic bumps stops so I threw a...
