  1. Spend 3 of my vacation days in the Shaverlake area of Northern California.

    The Sieras are such a nice piece of nature and the area has some pretty nice trails to boot. On top of that it was nice to escape the head wave.

    15 degrees Celius during the day instead of 40 is a big improvement.

    3 degrees at night instead of 30 doesn't hurt either.

    We camped several nights at the side of different gorgeous mountain lakes.

    Golly life is good. The wheelin didn't disappoint either.

    Life at 3300 meters just isn't so bad every now and then

    Watching bats at dusk, skimming the lake to try and snag insects before the lil trouts jump out of the water to catch the insects is pretty cool.

    All in all a great time with some good 4 wheelin thrown in

  2. Headed up to Big Bear today to have a lil offroad fun, nothing to drastic

    Ran Holcomb, white mountain and John Bull. JB muched one of my old krawlers, so in the next couple of weeks will have two more MTR's on my pup put Jeep

    White mountain has one really nice climb, steep with some small ledges and all loose rocks, like trying to climb up a hill with ball bearings :D

    Was the best part of the day

  3. Somebody invitied me to come out for a lil play time on a stretch of blm land/ trash dump

    That is one of the coolest forgotten pieces of desert, just out of town if I ever seen such a thing.

    To bad people consider the desert a trash dump.

    Loose rocks, big rocks, steep climbs it has all kinds a playground stuff. No canyons, so you can just wander around boulder fields pretty darn cool.

    Loose rocks with sand in between make it fun and challenging.

    I hope Steve took some cool pics of my lil put put Jeep.

  4. De dingen die je met een brood mes doen kan

    Have been wanting to fix up my lil yellow Jeep for a while now.

    Since the windshield is cracked and the frame is the wrong color, that was a good starting point.

    Dug out my trusty bread knife and went to town, didn't even add another crack to the glass.

    Took about 30-40 mins of elbow grease to get that critter cut out

    On to welding some small holes in the frame shut, add bondo and then give er some pretty yeller paint

    Good thing windshields are cheap both my Jeep wanted new glasses

  5. if you want to win more clearance, try the tunnelaxles, like the ones from unimog
    Unimog portals are a terrible choice. diffhousing is to big, up to high ,makes for a way to tall Jeep with almost no uptravel in the suspension. What it showes is that there is no more than 1/4" difference between the 14 bolt with 37" tires and a Dana 44 with 35" tires

    Dana 30 with 35" tires and Dana 60 with 37" tires same diff clearance.

    The bottom of the 14 bolt has been shaved a bit, do not care for the shave kits, takes to much strength out of the housing. Michel for mudding just roll some 40's or 43's under there, you got more than enough power for some serious mud dogging/ bogging

  6. Here is something for the high diff clearance crowd, which axle is under which Jeep and what has more clearance.

    Did some measuring today and thought this was interesting

    35" tires versus 37" tires, all at 30 psi. Stock axles versus versus D60 HP and 14 bolt. Which is which? Where is the diff clearance advantage?

    Y'all tell me where the big advantage of weaker axles with less gearing choices is?
