Jeeps Let's see um
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.

Re: Jeeps Let's see um
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.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Very nice OS! Almost bought a Rubicon several years back but can't remember...do they come stock with the straight axel?Old Syko wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 6:58 pmGuns and Jeeps have gone together since 1941 so there has to be some Jeep owners here other than myself and BigAl.

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.

Re: Jeeps Let's see um
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.markiver54 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 9:58 pmVery nice OS!

Re: Jeeps Let's see um
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

Re: Jeeps Let's see um
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!

Re: Jeeps Let's see um
My first Jeep was a 1953 CJ3B I restored long ago.
It is now owned by a friends' son in Eastern Oregon.
