I picked up a S.Y.E today for $400 bones. Time to throw that in and get everything working like it should again.




Also finally got my led's in my switch panel. Who needs heater vents when you can have switches instead?

AW4. I had a AX-15 in my MJ and I really like having an auto way more for 4wheeling. I miss having a stick pretty much everywhere else though. I guess thats what my integra is for.

I have yet to get in a lifted vehicle that still rides smooth so your guess is as good as mine on something that rides really nice lifted. If money is no object I'm sure its doable though.

Well come to find out my bushing is coming out of my harmonic balancer so I have to replace that this weekend. It had a small wobble in it for a couple days so I just kept an eye on it but yesterday the rubber started hitting the fan blades so I decided parking it might be a good idea. My vacuum also started working in the front axle randomly so now I'm stuck in 4x4 until I either fix my current t-case or put the new one in. One of the two...

We tried to get up to jenny creek trail saturday to play in the water a little bit and found out that rollins pass isn't even open yet. We made it about 5 miles up and got stuck in the snow drifts. If you hit it first thing in the morning it would probably be hard enough to drive over but we hit it around noon and I sank like a rock.

Looks like that wrangler in the last pic made some good contact with that rock. Did he roll the bottom of that fender?

No damage or anything. He pretty much rolled his tire over it and then the front wheel just sank in the snow. It scratched the bottom there when I pulled him out and thats about it.

Default More of the jeep.

I have been pretty slow about posting lately but I finally got my welder so I can start working on the bigger stuff that needs to be build/fixed. Here are a few of my more recent fun/fix pictures.

Fixing the 4x4


Nap on the roof


Found on the hood when we stopped


Too much flex


Found a little mud


Ill post some more later today. My camera is currently syncing so I can get the rest of the photos until it finishes.

For the axe and shovel I used these -
Amazon.com: QuickFist® Clamps: Home Improvement Amazon.com: QuickFist® Clamps: Home Improvement

For the Hi-lift two U bolts mounted to the top of the roof rack. It takes a couple minutes to get it down if you need to use it but it holds really solid so Im happy with it.

I think we have the same stereo deck. Pioneer DEH-110, right?

In your first post, I see you've got Chiodos showing on the display screen. How'd you get it to display the artist name? All I can get is the time in the song, or the clock.
