    Western UP

    Last week, my wife and I took a trip into Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In 4 days we covered just over 1,600 miles, with about 150 being off-road. Michigan's DNR ORV site is a real aid for those not familiar with the area. There are about 60 state ORV routes documented and provided in GPX, SHP...

    States You Can Rock Without Doors...

    Michigan. Don't know about specific legalities. Requires two mirrors here as well. Never had an issue going doorless nor heard of anything. So, G2G!

    Where did your Jeep take You this Week?

    It was a work day today. Stitch took me to my photo shoot. It's something of a game. If I can get away with it, I like to have Stitch show up somewhere during the shoot. Most of the time it doesn't happen. I try to park down the street or out of site. For commercial properties, Stitch is 'just...

    Busy Warranty Period - 1K To Go

    At 34.5K, just about out of warranty, ended up with a few things pop up following my Drummond Island trip. Figured, better get into the dealer pronto. Nothing obvious happened to cause it, but the steering wheel ended up getting cocked to one side. Jeep still drives straight w/o pulling. That...

    Posting Pics in New UI

    Howdy, With the forum's new user interface, I seem to be missing how to add photographs to a post. Suggestions? Tried searching, figure I'm missing something obvious. ?

    Drummond Island

    This past week, made the opportunity to visit Michigan's Drummond Island. We were blessed with comfortable temperatures and rain forecast that never materialized. Much like the videos you may have seen, once you're off the pavement, you tend to either be on rock, or in trenches (filled with...

    Jeep dogs!!!

    Tigger! Quick shot of Tigger this morning. She's a real crowd pleaser. Need to make some more photographs with her and the Jeep. She goes everywhere with me in it on the weekend. I've not taken her on any wheeling though. I've been concerned, big dog, how much she might/not enjoy it. I've...

    WIN a FISHBONE Jeep JK or TJ/YJ Front Bumper!

    What Brought Me: Videos | What's Kept Me: Group's Value Howdy Folks! Definitely could use a new bumper :). This past week, ground the front right bumper against a pretty good-sized boulder, and, it just doesn't look the same any more. Next round of major upgrades includes bumpers and winch...

    NEW Jeep JL Wrangler SPY SHOTS - Removable Hard Top Panels & Side Steps

    Yet Another JL Cloke-of-Stealth Driving north on I-75 around 9a, yesterday, heading to Rocks & Valleys. I have to hand it to FCA. Normally when we're this close to a release, there've been photos already, and pre-production units are seen in the region without covers. We're just ~3 months...

    Longer Sway Bar End Links

    I put a leveling lift on last year. It'll be later this Summer before bumpers and winch go on, so instead of raising her front 2", it was 3" effective. I went with the EVO links, 7.5"-8.9"7.5-8.9", fully collapsed to 7.5". When the bumper/winch go on this season, I expect I'll have to go down...

    Not All Brake Lines Are Alike

    About a month ago I installed stainless steel brake lines, sourced from Rock Auto. I wasn't impressed with their 'wimpy' appearance, but they seemed Ok enough. There were 3 particular concerns I had. 1) the front lines were 1.5-2" shorter than OEM. Having installed a leveling lift it was a...

    Suggested Sources for Stainless Brakes Lines?

    Howdy, Did a google search of the site, didn't find anything. Curious if there is a recommended source for stainless brake lines? I installed a set from Rockauto. I have a '15 JKU w/ EVO leveling lift. So no drama in brake line length. However the Rockauto set was about 1.5-2" shorter than...

    Sno*Blind 2017 Kicks Off

    Thanks for asking. Been so busy, I stashed them away...had a blast...didn't take a whole lot. With this one, we struggle with the classic 'flattening' of the slope when taking a pic. Coming toward us it ramped up to about 30 deg incline while doing a 90 deg turn. I ended up losing my own rear...

    Fords rock the desert like no jeep can

    This sort of thing just leaves me shaking my head. Must just be me. I hate needlessly abusing my equipment. Almost weekly, literally, one of the groups I belong to has a shot like this one. Sometimes the same person more than once. Mud is cool they say. They dunk their jeep (this pic is before...

    Coworker's Eyeballs

    There're two of us with Jeeps at work. A coworker of ours is big on these jiggly things. Not uncommon for someone to come back from lunch/vacation/bathroom, and find their office covered with them in different sizes. I think you'd call it a fetish. Well, yesterday he nailed my buddy's Jeep...
