Off road park in Appleton, MN. I've never been there personally but heard its fun. Nothing too hardcore from what I understand.

 

no nothing to hardcore at all. nice place to just go play around little. being as i have never wheeled my jk yet i was thinkin might be a good first run. then run the black hills. then after its locked with swampers ill be ready for the pipeline in wis.

 

Has anyone tried any of the DIY powder coating systems? I have been looking. My neighbor was getting rid of his oven so I hauled it into the garage. Now I just need the powder coating gun.

 

Got runnin-low all setup tonight in the shop with his PS front bumper and "custom" license plate bracket

 

Went for a little family bike ride today and when we pull into a place we take up the whole area

 

Nice bikes. I need to get mine down here so I can hit the trails.

So tonight when I got home from work I started helping my brother who had been working on putting the shocks on the XJ. We were on the last corner, and all of a sudden I felt the XJ rolling forward. I yelled for my brother to watch out, (in hindsight, "Get out of the F**king way!" probably would have been more effective). I looked and watched his legs shoot up as the XJ dropped on his chest. I grabbed the corner of the bumper and picked the thing up while he slowly rolled out from underneath. Definitely could have been a lot worse, but it landed on the rear drum and that saved it from the leaf spring crushing his chest. So he nearly killed me when I put the lift on my old XK, and my XJ nearly kills him. Payback is sweet.

 

That's some crazy shit, I was going to go work on Bubba tonight but my legs and calves are killing me. I wish I didn't sell my damn hottub one month ago!!!

 

After much cleaning this weekend the JK is finally free from trailside hitchhikers. Purchased an awesome electric pressure washer (i call it R2D2) for $79 at Menards, a few beers and then cleaned the 4 wheelers too.

Mudding definitely made a mess down there. there were rocks everywhere -including one lodged in my caliper making a horrid 'nails in a chalkboard' sound. Replaced that and now we're good.

..then I went biking

 

I take it you didn't use the Yakima Sparetime rack on this trip lol

 

Yeah about that tire carrier. That thing is nice but I am having issues fitting my Wife's bike on that thing. I think I gotta get a frame adaptor for it.
