Awesome looking jeep man keep up the great work.

 

My ARB front bumper should be here today (oops, my phone was off). Nice to see another, I ve been worried the arb front bumper was too heavy.


update:yup it here!

 

Here's mine

 

Nice! ............

 

is that a solar panel in front of the roof rack?

 

Hands down, this is the best thread I've seen on this site. So glad I've found it. There are some awesome ideas that are making me want to throw every penny I have at my jeep to finish and start traveling.

I'm getting myself psyched for a cross Canada trip in June (from coast to coast) and after seeing this thread, I want to finish the jeep and leave tomorrow!

I have a few more mods to get it where I want it, but it's a good start IMO...

Whataya think? Any opinions or advice?



The beginning- to what she is now

 

Hmm. I just got the AEV fuel carrier. They say it complies with all current CARB, EPA and DOT regulations. I wonder why the ExpOne mounted can would not?

 

Thanks!




No but that's a great idea, it's just the front part of the gobi roof rack

 

How are you liking that fuel caddy? I'm thinking that is the direction I wanna go! There are a lot of places in Nevada I wanna see that this caddy could help with! :-)

 

Just returned from a run of Clayton and K-Trail in southeast Oklahoma this past weekend. Here are a few pic's and videos from that trip ...

Camped Friday night at Clayton Lake State Park. It rained on us ...


Crossing the Kiamichi River just for the photo op ...

Two winchings and one trailer rollover. It survived with minor cosmetic damage. Adventure Trailers are tough!


Camped at McKinley Rocks. It rained on us some more. You can see McKinley Rocks on Google Earth here: N34 34.919 W95 15.032 ...


That's yours truly climbing to the summit of McKinley Rocks ...


Two of my trail companions on the summit ...


Reseating a tire bead that broke the evening before ...


Pressing down the K-Trail ...


Why did this exhaust suddenly get so loud? Oh, it was pulled apart by the rocks! ...


Plenty of mud along the trails ...


Stopped at Lazenby Viewpoint for lunch and to admire the view. That's my JK, of course ...


Oops, flat tire. Good thing they got that bead reseated!


Our second night destination, Kiamichi Mountain Fire Tower. The two Jeeps pulling trailers did not continue on this part of the trail because the owners had to be at work Monday ...


Admiring the great view from our third night's campsite. And the weather was quite nice for once. But, not for long ...


Beautiful sunset from the fire tower ...


That night the winds really kicked up. It pulled up three of my backpacking tent's stakes (of six total), causing a lot of flapping. I was going to put some more stakes in, figuring I couldn't find the ones in the ground in the dark. Except I left the bag of pegs in my Jeep. Opened up the tent and there was fog everywhere. The wind was so strong I was afraid it would blow away the tent if I left it. It was 6 a.m., so decided to throw some nearby gear on it and head for my Jeep. It was cold, but not terribly so. While sitting in the Jeep, I decided to shoot a little video. You can see some of it here ...

Remaining vehicles at the Kiamichi Mountain Fire Tower ...


Continuing down the K-Trail ...


... and back to civilization. That's Kiamichi Mountain in the background. It runs many tens of miles east/west and we had driven along its backbone--rather like Talimena Skyline Drive just north of there, but for Jeeps (and LR Defenders).
