New total after all the sells and buys lately its still slightly under 6k

Total: $5950

 

Got her cleaned up today. and I am really happy with how the doors turned out. I wrecked my Tow rig a few weeks ago and it won't be ready in time for our next ride so my buddy is gonna pick it up to tow it for me tomorrow.

 

Had our trip to the ORV park. It was an absolute blast. No real damage. My rig had 2 beads not hold but tires were not harmed. Started day with 10PSI and I guess that was either not enough or they lost some. Buddies XJ had CPS issues but we were able to get her going good enough to finish the day. I told them it would proly start when it cooled down so the poured cold water on the CPS and it ran. Had to do that a few times but It was able to finish the day. We ended up doing mostly level 3 and 4 trails. I pulled cable once for me as I was awful close to edge of a cliff and it wanted to keep sliding. Second time was to get it to top of the hill to fix the tires. Also used mine to pull red xj off the rock until we could get cps to cool down and running again. The Smitty 9.5 gen2 proved and earned its worth.

Best trail of the weekend.

 

Havent been on in a while to update.

As you can tell I have not updated in a while. Mainly because during hunting season I forget about wheeling.

Its that time of year again to get back on the trails. Since my last update I have gotten a few things done.
Pictures to follow.
-Exo Cage build is under way. Its going to take me a little while to finish the way I want it. Hope to have it done for Memorial weekend.
- Have got my rock sliders installed and a my rear bumper 90% done. The rear bumper will be an air tank getting the plumbing done is the 10% I am still lacking.
With the bumper and the sliders on. The foundation for the exo cage is ready.
- I done the V8 zj tire rod upgrade, Durango steering box, and the WJ ps pump. I also plated the outside of the frame rail to fix the cracks at the gear box area. This makes a huge difference in steering.
-installed a tranny cooler
-pulled tranny and replaced front pump. (blew the bushing on old one)

Exo Mock up








Changing is so I can keep doors when I want them.

Where it was cracked

built these stiffiners for inside and out. replaced with 99 v8 dodge Durango gear box


Last trip to ORV park. (not a good day. I had installed a locker in the front and it would not work so I only made it this far on the first trail.)



Bought a 42 inch cheap light-bar. I am happy with how bright it is and hopefully it will last this riding season


little oops while going to deer camp. had the track bar bolt fall out while going down the road.

 

Rear bumper- All it needs is to be plumbed for it to be an air tight tank.

Finally got me a good welding setup.

Got stuck. This time of year in the delta it dont take much to sink. pulled cable and got out easliy


She is ready to go to the ORV park this Sat. I may not get to go. The weather is not looking like it will cooperate.

 

I enjoyed going through a couple of your threads, nice work!

 

Thanks. I guess I need to update this. I am now running 36 inch Iroks. I am going to try to work on that in the next few months.

 

Its been a while since I have updated but not that much has changed. I have made very little progress on the EXO install just due to time. I have replaced my T-Case chain and upgraded to a yellow top optima. I love the 36inch Iroks and really have just been wheeling it a bunch. I don't have that many pictures. I don't seem to take that many anymore. I have purchased a new house and my plan is to have my shop done by winter. After that there will be some big changes coming. I have retired the Jeep from the deer camp duties that is the broncos job now. I am thinking about choping it and caging it. I wont make up my mind until I have the proper work space for it.


I messed up the Tow rig butt...


I used the smitty built to fix it


Pleased with my $250 total cost repair.


My son is now 3 and loves riding so we do that often.


This is really the only progress I have made on the cage and that was making it fit with the doors.

 

I guess I can add a few videos of some of the passed rides and bloopers. Some are several years old.

 

great video's Thanks for sharing.

 

Nothing to really update to mine. Its has been neglected alot lately. All of my clubs rigs have been broken or sold. I don't have the heart to sale mine as I just have to much time in building it.

I went on a good ride in the spring and everything came home in one piece. I have a Ujoint ready to throw. I am using it a little at my deer camp until my bronco gets trust worthy.

 

Nothing to update. I still have it and use it around the house for the winch. last year we bought a house and moved and done a remodel of the house we purchased so not a whole lot got done to the jeep. This year we plan to use it much more than last year. We also bought a camper so we will be going to the lake a bunch this summer.

 

I got her under the car port and torn apart. Just checking everything out. Planing a weekend ride April the 8th at HSORV park so time for mainince. I know its a Dana 30 with 4.56s and 36" iroks and I tend to have a heavy foot however I ordered another lunchbox locker. I went with a powertrax again. Maybe I will not grenade this one since its built for the Dana 30 haha. Other than that I just have to check ujoints and get my alignment up a little better.
