Project "Thanos" Build Wooo- it's been a helluva fall/winter. Things are finally starting to settle down which means more time to update the thread! I'll keep things chronological, starting with this post to wrap up the CO visit. Here's a few more shots from Wheeler Lake taken by my...

Flexin' up at Wheeler Lake this past Fall Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Howdy folks :) This past week I was vacationing up in CO in Breckenridge, and while it was primarily a non-wheeling vacation, we did manage to get out and hit a couple of nearby trails (Wheeler Lake & Crystal Lakes). Unfortunately, the GoPro footage for Wheeler was non-existent (config error)...

Few more action shots from wheeler that my folks took: Reunion stack w/my buddy Chuck (last time we wheeled together was 1.5-2 years ago in TX while we were still on 35s) Nature shots from a 6mi hike we did yesterday: The moose that keeps coming by the cabin: And finally some shots...

Colorado: Wheeler Lake Didn't end up leaving for CO until Friday as they made enough progress on our house that they wanted to squeeze in the pre-drywall construction meeting, so that happened at 10:30, lasted until like noon, so we didn't hit the road until 3pm. Drove straight through and...

The battery did get installed but I couldn't find the box for the sPOD, which means it probably got out in storage on accident. Oh well; Colorado next week!! Will post pics!

Love the Mud Grapplers

Today I picked up a 34R-PC1500T for the Colorado trip next week since my stock battery was starting to show signs of unreliability. So this weekend I'll be doing an instal of it and the SPOD I got a great deal on- will take pics as usual. Finally, an actual Jeep project!!!!

Project "Thanos" Build As promised, here are some shots of the new place in progress! Here's the earliest shot I have of the lot (65') The roughed in foundation. I think I'm standing roughly on my porch; Just before the foundation pour. It was interesting seeing the floating...

Ever since the Jeep Experience in May, Thanos has been stuck in limbo. See, while summer was just ramping up for the world, my wife and I were headlong into the process of selling our house and building a new one. With a July target for getting our 20+ year old home updated and on the market...

Not super sure if I can directly link to the article, but drivingline.com put out the Jeep Xperience recap article and a mega-gallery for the Memorial Day weekend event. Folks familiar with my build will detect a wee bit of writer embellishment in my photo caption, but it's all good and I'm...

Thanos is about as ready as he can be - this weekend is the JX in Hidden Falls, so I'll be out there rock crawli.....er..... fording water and mudding all weekend. Looking forward to seeing Mel & folks :)

Poison Spyder Crusher Flare Inner Fenders Poison Spyder Crusher Inner Fenders May, 2016 This weekend I finally found the time to install the inner fenders I've had rolling around in the trunk for a month. Part of the reason for the delay was a lack of time but another was that the prescribed...

Flexin' up on "Mulezilla"

Bump Stop Swap Best laid plans... Didn't get much off my list accomplished. The shop was bangin so the only available space left was on one of the smaller no-lift bays, so while I had access to air tools, I was confined to floor jacks and jack stands which makes flexing out suspensions less...

Loaded up and heading to the shop in a bit despite wanting to head out to the trails instead on this gorgeous Friday here in Austin. On the docket: * Poison Spyder Inner Fenders for the front (need to mock up then paint) * sPOD (don't judge, got it below cost since it had the air gauge on the...

#FlexFriday and #TBT all in one, when Thanos was still on 35s trying to keep up with the big kids :driving:

Update on my buddy's progress, tonight he finally got the rear under the jeep and partially mounted. They need to measure for driveshaft length and square everything up for the upper arm brackets, etc

Yesterday was my birthday so I went through like 6 rags detailing Thanos to then head to a bday bash at the local water in' hole :)

New Adams/Dynatrac Rear Maiden Voyage Boy, have I got a story to tell. First, a quick before-after wash pic from this weekend, where the name of the game was taking the new XD60 rear out to the trails and, for the first time, having a fully lockable jeep since Thanos started his life as a...
