10991301 Posted September 23 2008 08:33 PM by Jp Editor

Today Chrysler and it's ENVI organization introduced three production-intent electric vehicles. And not the kind of ugly electric vehicles that true automotive enthusiasts would turn their noses up at. Two actually look...

Odd Ball Jeep Rod Front Suspension

Reversed Transverse Leaf Spring
10950642 Posted September 16 2008 08:26 PM by Jp Editor

The rest of my front suspension parts came in earlier this week. So with the rear suspension pretty much wrapped up I mocked up the front suspension.

Welder Weekend

Jeep Frame Repair
10935639 Posted September 13 2008 05:24 AM by Jp Editor

Most of my coworkers decided to hit Pismo Dunes this weekend. I even had another offer to go to the desert, although I think it's still a little too hot for that. So instead of wheeling, I spent a good part of Friday...

Flat Rod Jeep

Sloppy Seconds
10591925 Posted September 9 2008 07:36 PM by Jp Editor

A couple days ago my 36-inch MAS hairpins came in for the Flat Rod project. I kinda needed to fit them up before I bought some more parts to finish out the front suspension.

Laser Bore Sight

I'm a Puss
10589543 Posted September 9 2008 01:58 PM by Jp Editor

Yeah, sure, I'm a wuss. My new 30-06 rifle kicks my ass. And before I bought it I actually considered a .300 Winchester Magnum. Had I gone that route I surely would have had to leave my arm in the desert.

JK On the Rocks

Taking Our 2007 Wrangler Over the Rubicon
10901451 Posted September 7 2008 11:36 AM by Jp Editor

Last week I took the Jp Magazine project JK over the Rubicon trail. It was a relatively uneventful trip since the Jeep had plenty of clearance thanks to the 3-inch Black Diamond lift and 35-inch BFG MT KM2 tires on AEV...

Saving the day...again

Junkyard Jeep Parts
10827366 Posted August 26 2008 05:15 PM by Jp Editor

I Let The Smoke Out

Wasted '07 JK Wrangler Driveshaft
10515494 Posted August 25 2008 04:41 PM by Jp Editor

I knew it was gonna happen. The stock JK driveshafts are pure crap. Especially when you lift your Jeep. I mean on paper they sound awesome since their design pretty much eliminates the vibrations associated with standard...

Sloppy Seconds: Round Two

M38A1 Frame
10474898 Posted August 20 2008 01:49 AM by Jp Editor

I didn't like the old flattie frame I planned on using for my Sloppy Seconds hot rod Jeep so this free M38A1 hand-me-down frame from Hazel will go in its place. It set me back a little since I had already started...

Burning Metal
10474883 Posted August 20 2008 01:39 AM by Jp Editor

Is this for real?

Bigfoot Dead?
10693188 Posted August 13 2008 12:56 PM by Jp Editor

I just read about the found dead body of a bigfoot-like creature. I'm curious, is it real, or is it yet one more hoax? CLICK HERE
