He showed up with some door sill guards. Then my crafty wife put some paint on them.

Did some shooting the other day. Winter was long so not much shooting over the winter. Ran a three gun course a couple times that my bud set up. After that I had some ammo left over so I worked on grouping with a pistol. This is group was shot at 15 yards with my Springfield Trophy Match. I...

Michigan is in psycho weather mode. It was warm last week so the top and doors came off and the Jeep. It has since snowed twice. I woke up yesterday to this. Later in the day it was 50 degrees and should be 60 today. I am tired of the snow and winter weather. I traveled a lot in the...

When I first started reading this thread, I was not impressed with the way the mods handled this. I pretty much thought it was being handled like a bunch of 12 old bullies hiding in their safe space behind their keyboard. I did not think this was in the best interest of the web site or the...

Looking for a 2 or 2 1/2 inch lift for a JKUR. Basically want to clear 35 in tires. Also what kind of back spacing should I run for the wheels. The off-roading will be mild, and the Jeep is a daily driver. What would you suggest for a lift and backspacing on the wheels? Looking for a...

I have had a bunch of ATVs over the years. Like fourteen of them + dirt bikes and 3-wheelers. I started the kids on dirt bikes at the age of 3 and they basically grew up with dirt bikes and atvs. I used to teach atv safety classes, lead the group rides for the Michigan ATV Association and...

Just a couple sunsets pics from the other day.

Looking for a programmer for a 17 Rubicon so I can adjust the speedo for tires and use lockers in 4 hi.

So I think I am clever and build a custom air hose system to air up all four tires at the same time and air all four tires down at the same time. The air hose I build will also balance out the air pressure between all four tires. The air hose is nothing special, one hose into a splitter and...

Has Metric, SAE, driver, spoke saw, opener, prey, and measure..... Pretty cool, not very useful, but still cool. Anyone else got one or seen one yet. I got it at a Jeep event down by Detroit.

Soon I am going to install a Rancho 2 in lift on my White JLUR. I am thinking that I want the coil springs to be red like the front hooks. Have anyone done this? Got picture of your Jeep with red coil springs? I was thinking of powder coating them, or using farm implement spray paint.

My wife talked about getting into mounted horseback shooting. So, I order her a set of single action 45LC revolvers to surprise her. The only place within 200 miles that does mounted shooting burns to the ground before the pistols come in. She did not tell me. So I give her the pistols and...

It is a matching 1941 decal. The decal was made to match the Rubicon decal on the side of the hood. This is the guy who did it for me. Stickin2it Custom Decals He has been super great to deal with. I asked him about it. He designed it, made it and shipped it with in a day or so. It is...

My 19 JLUR The MIstress. Lift is going on soon.

For a first bike I would look at a Versys 650. They are a great bike and have been bike of the year. Will fit a bigger guy well. Have plenty of power and more refined than the KLR. People do put dual sport tires on them for adv riding. You can get them for a cheap used with low miles. I...

Normally I would not be out on the trails right now because of snowmobile season. But in Lower Michigan, the snow has been real light. We had one good storm and then it warmed back up. So yesterday was about 30 degrees and blue skies, and blue skies in Michigan this time of year is rare. So...

So I have a son in California. I flew out to Cali from Michigan and we drove to my other son's house in Fayetteville, NC. My wife flew in to Fayetteville to join us for the holidays. So we stayed up on Dec 23 and drank bourbon and whiskey until 6 am..... We started with this. and finished it...

I am flying out on Monday to Los Angeles California. My youngest son (25 years old) is moving to Japan for three years. He lives in just north of LA. He will pick me up at the LAX, and we are road tripping across the US for three weeks. He is going to leave his truck (F250 diesel 4x4) and...

On the bridge I build to get across the mud bog from the past. It makes it easier to get hay wagons across now.

Just a quick pic of our son and wife by the fixed 1980 CJ5.
