Jeeps Let's see um

Post by Old Syko » Tue Jul 09, 2019 6:58 pm

Guns and Jeeps have gone together since 1941 so there has to be some Jeep owners here other than myself and BigAl. Here's my '14 and no it isn't a mall crawler. It's been everywhere from the Carolinas to Moab Utah and we still have a lot of years and miles to do together. This is likely the most sensible and usable vehicle I've ever owned and by far the most fun.

If... if we add a third vehicle later, I hope to find a decent used jeep, 4wd of course, and do the necessary restoration work myself. Then paint it in Marine deployment livery. Always wanted a jeep, always had to have trucks.

Very nice OS! Almost bought a Rubicon several years back but can't remember...do they come stock with the straight axel?
Looks like that's what you have on there. I know they have a great crawl ratio amongst other great things but forgot that part of the research I did at the time.

The JKUR comes with Dana 44 axles both front and rear with electric lockers and a 4 to 1 reduction transfer case among other upgrades. All other models have a 30 front axle, a lighter 44 rear axle and a transfer case with much less reduction. Ordered mine as close to the way I wanted it as I could get then replaced all the suspension with AEV parts and replaced bumpers, sliders, tires, wheels, and so on and so on. Hacked the can bus to add about 10% more horsepower and ran a bunch of wiring to upgrade and bypass certain systems. Altered many other things to make it mine also. It's all part of being a Jeeper. Jeep advertised a saying sometime back "It's a Jeep thing you wouldn't understand." I own one and I don't understand either but I truly have enjoyed this thing more than anything else I've ever owned and I've owned some wild stuff. ;) One other thing I added as I have with many other vehicles I've had was the decals on the side. I figure if he's riding with me, he's not looking for me. 8-)

my first vehicle was a '65 CJ5 and my longest kept vehicle was a J10 (24 years) .... I'm really enjoying the Jeep pictures posted in this thread .... sadly, we don't have any digital pictures of them .... other Jeeps I've owned include a early 50's Willis, a '69 Wagoneer, a '70 Jeepster, and a '75 Cherokee Chief

Not a Jeep but a cousin. Just sold my little Samurai. It was nice for puttering on the farm

There's quite a following with the little ' Sami's '. At least there was several years ago when I belonged to a Toyota off road club.
Nice!

My first Jeep was a 1953 CJ3B I restored long ago.
It is now owned by a friends' son in Eastern Oregon.
