I can't see the pic. Is it the same as the one at the bottom of the forum? If so, I think it would be pretty cool. Sort of like the Gladiator concept a few years ago. I've always had a thing for long wheelbase Jeeps, like the CJ6,8 and LJ. I wanted a Scrambler SO bad when I bought my YJ...

Hahaha, thanks Bryan! I'll hopefully post a new pic tomorrow. It's a bit dark at the moment. I'm gonna freeze on the way to work tomorrow! It will still be pretty cold at 9am. I loved the Dukes of Hazzard too. A few of my friends called me Daisy in high school because of my Jeep. I hated...

Any updates? I've always preferred the look of a CJ dash myself. I'm a little chicken to attempt something that big, though. Are the YJ dashes flat behind all that plastic? I've never had mine that far apart, although I'd like to replace my front speakers. Doesn't look like a fun job...

No way! I love this forum. I've been pretty busy lately, so I haven't been online as much. I hope that changes. I was working on the Jeep today so I was inspired to check in to the site. I've been sitting here going through all the threads I've missed. Thanks again!

Nice! I look forward to the pics. I nursed a Puegot trans along for at least 60,000 mi on top of the 100,000 that my Jeep had when I bought it. I didn't baby it, but I finessed it off road. It finally stuck in fifth gear and I junked it for an AX-15. Just like your 44's, if you take...

Man, that looks like a fun rig! My buddy has an '88 XJ that's similar and he takes it on all the hardest trails without worrying about damage. He put one of those cheap Smittybuilt winches on it and welded the axles. Otherwise it's bone stock with 29" tires. All the guys with highly modded...

Here's mine. 1988 YJ 258 with Weber AX-15 trans 8.25" rear from '93 XJ D30 front(stock) Warn 8274 TJ rims with 31X10.50 BFG A/T's Bestop seats Cobra CB I modded her where I thought it counted. I like a stock looking sleeper. In the driveway... On the trails...

Dang! Those are big tires for D44's, but it sounds like you've made it work. I'd love to see some of those trails. I've only been to Arkansas once, but it looked like a nice state from what I saw. I'd really love to move to Tennessee, though. My job's got me tied down, though.

Jeeps are supposed to be loud! :patriot: Nice tires man! I didn't like them at first, mostly because I'm a die hard traditionalist. But like the JK's, the new Mud Terrains are growing on me. These will be going on my YJ when my All Terrains wear out. I had MT KM's before, and I wanted...

A Cherokee/Grand is just like any other SUV. Of course it's going to be more top-heavy than your family sedan, but they're perfectly safe. Obviously you're not going to be taking it out for a slalom or anything. It's going to be no more likely to roll over than an Explorer, Tahoe, Blazer...

I'd say stick with the CJ. It's not the best daily driver, but it will appreciate in value(unless you're one of those guys who like to cut fenders and repaint flat black etc.) where an XJ will be worthless if any major component fails. I love XJ's, but they're just not worth much used. I'd...

After the rainiest spring I can remember the sun's finally coming out! It's supposed to be nice all week, so I took the top off the YJ. It's nice to have a garage to store it in and just take it out on nice days. The goal is to keep the top off until at least October. I'm so excited to...

Damn, that looks wicked! Are the axles stock? What size tires are those? Nice winch bumper, too. Looks like Arkansas has some nasty trails!

I've always liked them. I looked in to them before I bought my Yukon. I think they're really cool looking. Unfortunately, they're just not in the same league as a Yukon or Tahoe. The GM rigs have a lot nicer amenities, and a real frame. Sorry, Jeep, but I'm not going to buy a unibody rig to...

Those are awesome pics. Reminds me of an old Rick Russel vid I had a long time ago. Someday I will go to Moab. Call me a wimp, but I'd have to trailer my YJ. Oregon to Utah is a long drive in a Jeep! Plus with my luck I'd break something and have to fix it before returning home. I'll be...

It sure looks better now! Keep it and restore it! No offense to Cherokee guys, but CJ > EVERYTHING. CJs are king!

Nice! Makes me miss my old Wag. If you swap that 14 bolt in to the rear it's going to be WAY wider than the front. It will probably look silly unless you swap the front as well. Maybe out of a Ford, since Chevs have a passenger side diff in the front. Personally, I don't like the look of...

Welcome! Cool Jeeps, too. What locker do you have in the 8.25?

Looks pretty hairy to me too! If you knew you could make it up every hill before you tried it that'd take the adventure out of it!

I'm getting frustrated. I've been trying to find some replacement parts for my YJ, and I can't source some things I need. Seatbelts - I have to go aftermarket because you can't just buy a female end for the driver's seatbelt. :pp: Rollbar padding- Bestop apparently only makes this in black...
