Awesome setup! Hows the Grand do pulling the trailer?

 

Thanks man. It does awesome! I installed a nice trailer controller in it so it stops great too. The V8 under the hood does a great job also. It does way better then the old Ram did. And it has heated leather seats. Luxury tow rig lol.

We talked about wheeling this spring. Want to hit up Rocks and Valleys with me on Easter? It's a bit farther then Bundy, but its awesome wheeling.

 

Its clean for once:

 

just wanted to say how awesome your jeep is i want to take mine in a similar direction as yours. I've been following the build for some time and i hadn't looked at the pics from when you first started in awhile. i almost didn't recognize it as the same jeep. haha

 

I can't make the Easter wheeling. Thanks for the invite tho. I'm wheeling the Badlands March 3rd, and doing another trip that soon is not in the budget. However, I'm moving 4 hrs further north in Indiana in about two weeks, so wheeling R and V this summer is a great possibility! I will also be about 2.5hrs from Bundy. About 4.5hrs from R and V.

 

Thanks man! It's amazing what a sawzall and a welder will do to a rig lol. I was looking at the old pics the other day too and was kinda shocked haha.

 

Ok man, no problem. Awesome on the move news! We'll have to hit up Bundy then. When you thinking?

 

Might be August or so. Not too sure yet, need to get on my feet up there. It will happen though!

 

hey sweet jeep. well have to get together this summer and do some wheelin. i actually work in middleville for the next 2 weeks at least. were plannin on r and v for easter.

Thanks man! That's awesome!!! I'll be there Sat. morning. It starts at 12. When are you rolling in?

 

I am making a new tranny x member/ tranny/ t-case skid. Just have to weld in some 3/16" plate to the bottoms of the skids (the hoops) then mount it up. I don't like the angle plate on the sides tho, so the ends will bend up to a flat plate then welded on the plate. It will slide over rocks better that way too.

 

that looks good, what size tube did you use?

 

Thanks. It's 1-3/4 x .120 wall.

 

Well I finally finished my crossmember/skid plate:

 

That is a good looking Overland.
The 4.7HO is a very nice motor.
