Hey everyone.

So my wife and I went on a little impromptu jeep run, while out we decided to stop and make some rice and coffee with the fire.

So, just some random pics to take a look at, theres a saying that I believe fits this forums to a T.... "some come here to sit and think, some come here to stew and stink, I come here to scratch my parts and read the Bos Taurus excrement on the walls"

Enjoy. :D

Nice pics. :D

As a fellow "Jeep Guy", how about a pic of the Jeep?

I'd say a Jeep certainly would qualify as "Outdoor Gear, Survival Equipment & More". :D
 
I like the quote! I worry about what I fall under....pweew! Shit and stink I guess. :)

I totally agree with you, any vehicle is a part of your kit.

The front bumper is the Rugged Ridge XHD (modular.)
In addition...
Warn Winch HS9500i and I just added 3/8"x80' Amsteel Blue Synthetic Line, Warn Fairlead/Neoprene Cover
OME 2" (2.5") Lift (plus .75 front spacer because of winch)
JKS Front/Rear Track Bars
Currie Front UCAs
Goodyear Duratracs 285/75/16
ProComp 7089 wheels
A to Z Sliders
AEV Procal
...and a bunch of straps, chains, snatchblocks, tools, etc.,

I prefer not to think about how much money I've spent on it. :D

Nice Rubi, by the way.
I'm thinking my next one will be a Rubicon. Haven't decided on a 2 door or 4 door yet. My only complaint is the lack of cargo hauling capability with the 2 door. I've been looking into a roof rack system, but they don't come cheap for the JKs. Come to think of it, nothing is cheap on the JKs. :rolleyes:


And just to show I'm not afraid to get it muddy, another gratuitous pic...

I used to have a cold air intake on mine until the first time I took it off road after installing it I hosed it with mud and water and ruined the filter and almost sucked water into the engine. Cold air intakes are a no-no on an off road jeep. The stock air box gives the jeep more than enough air flow and it protects it from mud and water. I learned that one the hard way.

Oh and I've snapped both my hood latches twice as well :)
 
With a very thurough clean, I have had no issues, that said im not a huge 4X4'er, just enjoy the odd offroad trip.

I have a snorkel on my short list of mods yet to be done. In the "muddy pic" of my Jeep above, you can see the results of a misjudgement of mud/water depth. It looked much worse on the front. I nose-dived into a deep puddle and I don't know how I escaped hydro-locking. The passenger side front was swallowed by the mud. :D That was before my winch and other mods and was lucky to get out of it as my rear tires were submerged as I pulled my way through. And for the record, the Jeep was completely covered in mud by day's end. :D

So far, I've had good luck with the hood latches. When I first got the Jeep, I installed a Tereflex spacer/leveling kit. It really pushed the front up in comparison to the rear and I had A LOT of hood flutter on the highway. Felt like the hood was going to rip off at any time. I replaced the leveling kit promptly.


VTguy17,
How are you liking your OME shocks? I can't believe how nice they ride.

I hear ya, I've escaped hydro locking death many many times and I don't know how, someone is watching over me. I have a bad habit of saying "I can make it, hold on" it must be a jeep thing lol. The countless times I've had the jeep face first buried in a mud hole....ohh the memories.....

I love the OME shocks there great. I've had them for about 2 years and I find them a little stiff on the road but there amazing on the trail.
