    Better brakes for the LJ

    I first saw this upgrade over at Cherokeeforum.com a few years ago. I've gone back and looked into it a number of times since. But it is quite nice to know someone LOCAL has done this swap and that it works as expected. Lucky me, I have the early XJ knuckles in question, on hand. I've never been...

    Roger's 95 ZJ, what's next?

    So I cut the bumper down to fit the ZJ... I own a welder, I'm NOT a welder. I'm a decent grnder though. get a lot of heat into things, but I have a tough tie making things look "pretty". I have a gas kit for my welder, a 220v Clarke 180EN. I just haven't gotten around to getting the gas...

    Roger's 95 ZJ, what's next?

    As it was from when I bought it in Sept of 2006. First trip to Rattlesnake Jan or Feb of 2007. ZJ is an Upcountry Laredo package, 4.0. Came with aftermarket wheels on 235/75-15s. After ths trip on Rattlesnake, I decided that 2' of lift and 31s would be perfect. Being a cheap Jeeper, and...

    How do I flatten this skid plate section

    I hadn't considered that. Unsure if that would create an edge that could hang me up. But I will look into it.

    How do I flatten this skid plate section

    I do not have a weed burner or a big sledge hammer, nor patience or a strong back or blacksmith's arm (torn right bicep that has retracted). I had considered just that partial cutting, flattening, and laying a bead. I will need to add a small amount to the driver's side once flattened. And fab...

    How do I flatten this skid plate section

    I recently bought this never mounted JK front bumper, despite the branding, it is a Poison Spyder Brawler full width bumper. I intend to put it on my ZJ, and it was too wide. So I cut it down. For the $100 I paid, including the skid plate, it didn't really "hurt" to cut into the shiny new...

    Wanted ISO 22 rifle

    Felt the need last year for a .22 to plink with, snagged a Mossberg 702 Plinkster for $120 at a pawn shop. I just have not had the time to take it out yet. I also grabbed a little .22lr handgun, Phoenix Arms HP22A. Tossed 50 rounds with it so far... Kind of fun...

    Phatfoto --- The man of steel

    Changing things, yes, well familiar with that. My left knee has been a great thing, I have more Range of Motion now than when I left therapy, approaching it's design limits. My other knee... Well. Had it scoped last summer, and gel injections recently. Doing a bit better but I can upset it. I...

    Phatfoto --- The man of steel

    Last week, Scott Henderson crashed his MTB bike. Broke his right collar bone into 3 pieces, and a handful of ribs front and back. He had surgery Thursday, outpatient and is home recovering. Same day as Scott's surgery, my wife fell and broke her right collar bone as well. No surgery needed...

    The Proud American comes to Utah!

    I love hearing the stories of the guys that ran those trucks in all flavors. I had the pleasure of knowing a gent years ago that was a gunner on a truck with an M45 quad 50 cal mount. I was working where there were modified M45 mounts used for tracking aircraft, not shooting them. So knowing...
