I Let The Smoke Out

Wasted '07 JK Wrangler Driveshaft

Posted August 25 2008 05:41 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...

Take one 40 year old 17-ft long M715 that likes to overheat. Drive it 20 miles across the 95 degree desert (which means 110 degrees in the truck)- all to pick up a piece of 20 ft long steel to be used to modify the...

Sloppy Seconds: Round Two

M38A1 Frame

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...

A few more fire pictures

Posted August 19 2008 11:48 PM by Willys

So, I didn't want to inundate the blogs with all the pictures at once. Fire equipment was all packed up and gone (or 90% of it anyway) by late afternoon yesterday. Here's some additional pictures I shot and...

Fire at JPete's place.

Wildfires Strike

Posted August 18 2008 10:16 PM by Willys

Instead of pulling an LT-1 out of a Caprice on Sunday, I got to pack up what was most important to me and load the 715 for evacuation due to a wildfire within a mile of my house.
