I Let The Smoke Out

Wasted '07 JK Wrangler Driveshaft
10515494 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...

Big steel small truck

No more space

Sloppy Seconds: Round Two

M38A1 Frame
10474898 Posted August 20 2008 02:49 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...

Later Sunday/ Monday pictures

A few more fire pictures
10771146 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...

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.

10426364 Posted August 15 2008 05:35 AM by Willys

So what was it... 3 nights ago I didn't get home from work until 2 am?  Today I decided to head into work at 2am.  Yep, I'm just like that sometimes.
