I couldn't help myself. I just bought a very decked out 2014 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon in the color "dune." Or, as the guys here at work call it: "Baby vomit." (Obviously, they're just jealous :) )...
Removed the 30" LED light bar from the grill and reinstalled the HID's I removed a few months ago. (Did this all last night)
Although the LED bar is fantastic, I...
A) was never crazy about...
Here's version 1.0 of the platform/ramp setup. The 6x6 felt like it was going to flip forward as it climbed that plywood step-up because the rest of the machine was still on the tailgate ramps....
One each, Max II, amphibious 6x6.
Here it is, still sitting on the truck after picking it up from 3 hours away.

Yup, Breaking Bad... Walter White's DEA agent brother-in-law Hank drove a black Commander. If I remember, in one episode, that XK got shot up pretty bad too.
On sci-fi movies in general, I love...
It's still there and I flagged it myself... as the 'best of' CL. Notice also that the gas gauge is down to 1/8th. Somehow that just strikes me as funny 'cause it just fits in with the rest of this...
It's all good now. Don't know why, but I ain't gonna ask. :D
It's a quick change oil valve. You put it in place of the drain plug. Use a short hose, and there's no more mess.
Welcome.
I love that photo. Now, that's what Jeeps are supposed to look like!! Plastered in filth!! When you can't see the headlights anymore: job = complete.
Firefox here, and...
Over this last weekend, I remodeled the storage area. I figured it out too, ever since I bought the X-Jack, I've ended up with the under-the-floor space AND a storage box on top. I've HATED it for...
That's Jack, my "micro coyote." (He's a Pomeranian, with "wolf sable" coloring) He has to supervise what I'm doing. He'll bark at the shop door until I let him in.
I used the rest of the pipe and...
Solved my Foxwing awning support pole storage problem.
I was getting tired of the poles laying crossways behind the seats, always in the way when the seats are folded down. Built a tube with 3...
I just bought a Nitecore TM26 from this eBay seller: http://www.ebay.com/sch/rocketcityknives/m.html?item=271211788721&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
He has one left,...
Okay, I lied... it's not my XK actually, but the 300 instead. I added a "stealth" LED behind the grill. This one is a 20 inch dual row light, and it's BRIGHT! The light was supposed to be here today,...
You'll love 'em. Liners contain the melted snow and mud. I've had mine for years. They're color matched Husky, back floor included. They have a diamond plate pattern.
Swapped out my halogen "alley" lights on the roof rack with Totron 27 watt flood lights. At only 2 amps and a daylight output, they'll also make great campsite lights. The 50W halogens were okay, but...
Number 15. :)
Had my 60,000 mile transmission service done today... at 67,000 miles. (Shhhh, don't tell anyone I waited so long)
U-Joint angles have been an issue with lift kits since William Shakespeare was still writing plays. :p
Just about EVERYTHING changes with a lift kit, even a 2" one. You need to install the kit,...
You may have to come here and work for us! :)
Those Ram ball mounts are heard to beat, and they tend to stay put too.
You'll have to paint that bracket flat black to match, I hope you know. :p
Not so much what I did TO my XK, but what I did WITH my XK today. (Well, actually yesterday, and in 99 degree heat)
I yanked out two dead juniper trees/bushes. Two out of several others just...
Well, I have bad news. I've been holding off 'til the last minute to see what happens, but the time to call Red Mountain finally came. (to give them enough time to rent out the space to someone...
D Day is almost here! (D as in drive!)
From what I've read about Black Bear Pass, my palms sweat just thinking about it!
By the way, how many are going to be there? I've lost track trying to go...
