    It’s a non powered ice chest not a fridge unfortunately. That would have been really cool to use one of the rechargeable dewalt 20v to run it or something similar. It’s a gobi rack, no drilling, I have an optional removable panel that covers the front part of the top but without it installed...

    Project: Redneck Ram I decided to really make this drive well and protect the steering box offroad it really needed a ram assist. I didn't do this work myself. The shop that makes and sells the Redneck Ram is close to home so I just dropped the jeep off a few days and let them do it. It was...

    Project: Shovel/Quick Fist Mount This was a minor project I did early on and I am no totally happy with it. Its still sitting in the shop but it felt a little like a solution looking for problem rather than a real solution. None the less i kept it on the jeep a while. It uses wing nuts to bolt...

    Project: Engine Skid Still being on the low end of jeep cash but with my resources and skills at work I designed and built an engine skid that worked with the RK long arm front crossmember.

    12/31/2015 we had our third child and I knew the days were numbered on my TJ. There’s just no way to fit 5 people in one with car seats and all the stuff. We took a trip to Moab in March 2016 and had a blast finally having made it back to Moab after years of not going. It was great last trip in...

    So I’ve always called this jeep plain Jane. It’s black, 3.5” lift, 37s, yada yada. It has a lot more to it than that, but the rest is sort of under the radar as far regular non keep folks go…except the roof rack it’s sort of in your face but I am thinking I might take it off and hang it up in...
