March 2007


One of our Jeep buddies got him self stuck this afternoon so Philip and I tracked him down and drug him out of the mud.

If was a fun impromptu Jeep’n afternoon.

Went through a little puddle that turned out to be a deep mud hole on our way to find our stuck Rubicon.

It was a very narrow area, but we managed to un-stuck the stuck Jeep.

We didn’t know it at the time, but a stream with high banks on both sides was on the way out of the woods.

The Ruby went first.

I took the TJ in next.

The TJ made quick work of the bank.

Not a bad way to spend an hour or two on a Saturday.

Rather than pay $900 for a hefty rear bumper and swing out tire carrier with all the extra goodies; I made my own for about $200 dollars.

For project details you’ll need to visit the CARTEL.

If you want to know who if someone is a friend ask him to help you install a jeep lift. If he does he is not just a friend but a great friend.

Saturday Philip, Zach, and I with the help of Matt and some spectators installed a 3” suspension lift on my Jeep. We also installed new 33” tires. The lift installed fairly easy aside form the teeth grinding wrestling match that was the lower control arm re-installs.

Zach was the MVP of the project. He was kind enough to lend us his expert Jeep knowledge and basically do the front suspension install himself.

Philip won the “You are one awesome dude” award for not only helping with the install but also letting me borrow his truck to pickup the tires and letting us use his awesomely giant garage for the install.
