I've had good luck with a hi-lift and the winching kit. dragged my 3000lb 4x4 straight sideways through the mud.

One (of the many) of the things i miss about my Cherokee is the awesome under seat storage.

Here is my little Jeep. 500 dollars and a little elbow grease and now is the daily driver.


Here is my other on on 35's the day I bought it.

I posted a pic of the 2005 TJ a few pages back, now I have a little video of it actually doing it's thing. This is our offroad club's first annual club race at our leased property. I took my digital camera and electrical-taped it to the CB on my dash. It did surprisingly well for as low tech as it was.

And if anyone doubts that a TJ with only a few inches of lift, stock motor, stock tranny/tcase, stock axles (with lockers added) and 33" tires will go like a scalded dog... I placed first and brought home the trophy. Against rigs with 3/4 ton, 1 ton, and even 2.5 ton axles, big block V-8's and such... I think that ain't too shabby.

(Yes, at 11:37 in the first video I misjudge a turn and hit a tree head on at about 30MPH. I bent the crap out of my front bumper doing so. You can hear me ask my girlfriend if she's okay.)

Finally got my lift on today, next tires, TC drop and bigger front coils to even it out a bit.

Thank goodness that Wranglers come with drain plugs, but their a pain to find in brown soup.

I only put the drain plugs in my Iltis in in the winter. As soon as it's warm enough for liquid water, I pull em.

[KILLERtj]

My drain plugs have been out ever since that incident. Learned the hard way, but its always a fun time!

i figure if i need drain plugs im already in way too deep of water anyway. that same logic is why i havent put a snorkel on anything yet either

My drain plugs have been out of my '05 TJ since '06.

The TJ is fun and all, but I've began to yearn for something a little bigger. So I started buying up parts a little while back. Here's what I have on hand so far:

2.5 ton steering Rockwell axles front and rear
5.3L LM7 V-8 engine
700R4 transmission (3 speed with overdrive)
NP203 range box
NP205 transfer case
Northwest Fab Doubler adapter
PSC rear steer joystick
2 steering rams
a lot of little stuff like rod ends, rear seat, coil springs, steering column, steering column mount, transmission cooler, steering cooler, and such.

So far I've got about $5200 in the parts. It might not go fast when it's finished, but it'll climb over pretty much anything. Plans are for a 4-seater custom tube chassis with room for a slide-out tool tray under the fuel cell/rear seat.

yeah i know what ya mean about rockwells, i had a 2dr explorer on rockwells on 46s , hell just had $10k cash in parts and labor into the truck, but it was a monster of a mover

[Unlimitedx]

You ordered parts from USA6x6? And actually GOT THEM? Wow, I've heard a lot about that guy.

I'm building mine knowing full well that it'll never be able to see street use. No way I'd ever be able to get the buggy tagged or even within a mile of being street legal.

[mob]

yeah before his business demise, i actually got my orders in full and even got a discount most of the time, i think i may of spent around $3k with him, he custom made those rims and they came with the tires, all shipped by pallet, i also ordered the wheel brake kit and some ujoint conversion kits from him.

[Sniperkage]

Here's mine:



2k TJ, 2.5" lift with extra .75" spacers in the front, 8000 pounds and 400 watts on the front bumper, 4.56s, and a few other things. My gear guy is working on an 8.8 and bolt-on 3 link rear suspension right now. When it's done and on I'm swapping the 31s for 35s. Still need the overhead gun rack, bedliner for the tub, and a bunch of other stuff.

heres my 1993 Hummer H1 In Action at one of the many air-soft scenarios I wrote and produced a few years past.
Basically its unstoppable in its stock configuration it will climb steep hills drive backwards diagonaly on a rocky slope. Great in snow, mud, water, sand, rocks, steep terrain. Turns on a dime and not to 60 in about a minute.
15-18 MPG diesel. People flip me off when I drive it but what ever little do they know my daily driver is a Hybrid...
These are from Operation Fallen Angel in case anyones into air-soft...I used to be and it was a great prop to bring out.








Currently it has the 6.7 in it but as more and more surplus engines from the waris come back im thinking about throwing a 6.9 in it just for the heck of it.
