local park just 20 minutes from my house had its grand opening this weekend. they recently came under new ownership and made vast improvments to the park. some pics from the day. and yes i know i have a bogger on one side and a MT tire on the other. wasn't 10 minutes after i got there i...

your k1500 is a Full size truck is it not? the 8.5 is a full size, the 7.5 is not.

Bill's 491 Offroad is celebrating its grand Opening under new ownership the weekend of aug. 6-8th. saturday the 7th there will be a mud bog and obstacle course for trucks as well as drag races and tug-o-war for UTV's and ATV's. park has been open for about 3 years now, but recently came under...

also, a popular full size swap is a ford 9' and HP44 out of older ford F-150's. same side drop (drivers side) as jeeps. with proper upgrades both can be built into formidable axles for strength. upgrades can be found everywhere for both axles and are pretty easy to source from a junk yard near you

mgiht want to add the exploder is the only real upgrade, as the ones in teh rangers and stangs were the weaker 27 spline version and not much of an upgrade over the d35. and they are a factory spring under so new perches must be welded on. 97+ also have disc brakes. also may want to note that...

upper arms are only tweaked slightly, and as it is a trail only jeep, i am not overly concerned about them. rear leaves are my next major concern. might either build some new bastard packs or just man up and buy some off the shelf springs and shackles

Update on the Heep! Finally got all broke parts replaced and ready to rock and roll again.....kinda. final tally of broken Chit. both lower control arms, front and rear drive shafts, np242 T-case, 1 front shock, and both UCA are bent but driving on them anyway. pass. side LCA driver side...

Tcase only took about an hour or so from start of taking old one out to new one in. the control arms took lik 2 hours simple because one bolt was froze in the bushing and with the UCA's bent the LCA's did not want to line up correctly. broken parts are always a good reason to upgrade. next is...

last trip i wheeled the Heep, i got stuck at the badlands in attica IN. what started out as this stuck then adam (squeaky3) hooked to me to pull me out after many yanks trying to pull in through the hole, it was not goin anywhere. Demonstalker ended up pulling me out backwards the way i...

some decent front and rear tow points are a must for sure. you can buy some, or make some. rear you can just get a hitch, front you need some plates that bolt to the unibody, factory hooks will not do if someone has to yank on it to get you out, like how you had to yank on my bumper last time...

dirty turtle is a great place, well from what i have seen of it. i used to ride ATV's there on a regular basis, back when it used to be Bucks Run MX park. for only being 270 acres, there seem to be alot of nice trails or nearly any capability range. once i get my junk back together, i am...

guess i'll give it a shot. 1990 jeep XJ. 4.5" junkyard lift 33x14-15 cut boggers out back, 33x10.5x15 swampers up front. welded rear chrysler 8.25 29 spline rear, open d30 front with vac. disconnect removed. hacked up roof (done by the PO, not myself) NP231 Tcase with HD SYE, custom front...

sounds like a pretty good idea IMO. i think it would work well, allow people to show off their rides, and get people more involved on the site.

well i am tall at 6'1", but other than that a rather small fella only tipping the scale at 170, i don't think the cage will take up that much room. an exo would be cool and all, but much more $$$ to build or have built and i don't need the body protection, i could care less about the sheetmetal.

just gonna make a driver out of it, or what are the plans? looks like a fun project. i miss my 77

i am pretty sure i am gonna leave the stock stuff out, and remove the parking brake assembly, as it is not used anyway, and do the ammo box thing. and i'll get pics up as soon as it quits freaking raining.

probably just gonna use some of the same 1/8" plate i am using for my floor boards to build a small box. then make a little cup holder stand, use like a 3" hole saw to but holes in teh plate, use the part i cut out for the bottom of the holder, then weld on a few supports to hold it up, that way...

well i was only gonna patch it, then i saw the scrap sheet steel at work, and just cut out what i needed whatever length it was, and it turns out with my pattern, i lack all of about 8" of covering the whole floor. so yeah, pretty much just replacing it all. trying to decide how much of the...

cut out my new floor boards today. go from the front of the cab (flat part) to about 8" shy of the rear seats.

i am waitin on my tax check to actually order the cage. but i do have most other parts to fix it, everything but shocks. gonna try to get teh t-case together and in next weekend, and the control arm should not be to hard. so it should move under its own power by the end of next weekend i...
