Yep, went to Uwharrie National Forest yesterday and messed around. Didn't scrub once. It's only about an hour and a half from me, so it's always a good trip.

Broke down and did a factory fender flair trim. Debated long and hard about it, but got bored so went with it. My concern was with the factory mud tires it would be too much fender well. I think it looks okay, until I get my 35s. Better than stock anyways! I used plastidip inside the...

Added some headlights today. Amazon LEDs. Got em cheap, so hopefully they last. Need to get some fresh black paint on the shackles and those headlight bezels next!

Did a little work today on the JK Willys! Smittybuilt stubby rock crawler bumper, Smittybilt X2O 10K winch, and Hella black magic driving lights. Pretty happy with the results so far.

Thanks! Im not sure how much it will actually support. You're right though, the old boot lace is definitely the weak point. I've sat a full 12 pack of beverages on it, and it stays nice and level, with no scare of it breaking or stretching. Honestly, that's about as much weight as it will...

I wouldn't think so. I'm no expert, but my willys edition came factory with 32" mud terrains, and the spare mounted on the stock carrier. I wouldn't think a 33 on an 18 would be much different. Did you order steel wheels or alloys?

So I got the itch last weekend to get offroad. The only legal spot that's not closed for the season right now is The Gultches offroad park, right outside Laurens South Carolina, about 2 hours from me. So I loaded the kids up and off we went. The willys jk did well! Didn't do anything...

I just thought this was pretty cool for those of us that bought our jeeps used. I found my window sticker on the mopar site. The screenshot gets blurry when you zoom, but on the site it stays clear. Now I know a little more of exactly what I have!

I did. I believe the plywood was birch, then I hit it with a walnut stain.

Thanks! Haven't got to use it much, but come spring, summer, and tailgate season, I'm sure it'll see its use. I just couldn't justify the prices companies are charging for these things.

Accidentally added a photo of my Sammy. Gonna leave her in it just because.

So I searched, and couldn't believe I didn't find anything about a tailgate table on this forum. (Maybe i overlooked it) Anyways, here's mine. 3/8 furniture grade plywood, piano hinge, an old boot lace, a few screws, some dark walnut stain, and a magnet. I'm pretty happy with it, and costs...

Welp, I know this is an old thread but, I experienced my first "flutter" today. MIne too was more of a lift than a flutter. It's the first time I noticed it, and I was running about 75 behind a semi. I'll say this, I disliked it enough to move to the slow lane and I'll be looking into...

New member here from just outside of Charlotte, NC. I recently bought my second jeep, a 2016 Willys wheeler. I previously owned a 1989 yj about 18 years ago. Glad to be back in the club!
