2:1 Flatfender Jeep Project
27238363 Posted Today 07:05 AM by Jp Editor

  So I winched my new pile up on the trailer with a cordless Warn Pullz-All. It makes pretty quick work of loading non-running Jeeps on a trailer. I got flattie #2 home and gave it the once over. The body is garbage....

 So we're all moved into our new offices err...cubes, in El Segundo California. It went way smoother than I anticipated. My computer was up and running in minuets just as usual. A few of the guys in the building were...

Too windy for rockers?

Build Your Own Rocker Protection
25941476 Posted November 15 2009 11:33 AM by Jp Editor

A couple months ago I had some spare time and tubing so I bent up and tack-welded a pair of rocker guards together for my '73 J2000. The main tube and supports are 1 3/4-inch .120-wall DOM and the add-on bars are 1...

Early Jeep Winch Mount

Juggy to Glamis
27038311 Posted November 9 2009 05:42 AM by Jp Editor

 I took my never-ending Juggy project to the Glamis dunes over the weekend. After 6-7 years of working on it (very slowly) was it worth it? You bet. I've never owned anything with that much horsepower. It scoots!

Another long-term product review for ya. I've been kicking these JP Cooler soft-sided coolers around for a couple years. For me, they're a zero-to-hero product.

Overkill Engine Mounts

PreRodder Project
26789635 Posted October 23 2009 05:03 PM by Jp Tech Editor
