I really like the build threads. Have you finished the stretch yet?

Best jeeping in the world out here. I have actually moved my jeep to moab.

I am adding pictures and progress of the comp cut as I complete everything. As of now I am just waiting on parts to finish everything up. I should have it done soon.

Yeah I will make that drive one day with my jeep! I have been out west may times for work but never for leisure.

Personally I think wheeling is harder in the midwest and east then out here but you can't beat the views.

Yeah a group of my friends are flying out and renting jeeps this year, but I will be busy with work. I just would rather have my jeep there than rent one but it is crazy expensive to have it shipped from the East coast

It is crazy expensive to rent a jeep. One of my brothers does it every year. So you know I just saw a new company on Main street that is renting new Jks very nicely equipped with 35s. It said on the windows of the jeeps 230 a day. I know a lot but compared to others equipment you can't beat the price.

$4 diesel has killed the small shipper. When I moved, towing a 40' enclosed gooseneck from Illinois to Reno (2000 miles) cost me $1000 in just fuel and took 3 days.

We once looked into shipping by rail but it cost over $700 one way and you could not have anything in the jeep (tools or gear) and had to have min fuel just for loading and unloading.

There is a company that rents jeeps here for the rubicon that chages $1700+ for a 3 day but they do include a guide and food.

There seems to be an opportunity in there somewhere for a viable business opportunity for someone!
