my crawler is a manual, and i wish it was an auto. my daily is an auto, and i wish it was a manual.

seriously pumped to have you out here man. the wheelin is unreal, as is just about everything else. and youll have a blast working with Bear and Dusty

don't drop a ton of money right off the bat on a rig you don't know how to wheel; these little trucks are very capable in stock form. i would spend money on recovery gear, recovery points, a bit of armor underneath, and maybe a decent set of tires. a first aid kit, a flashlight/headlamp, and a fire extinguisher are all good to have as well. after that, the best thing you can do is spend time behind the wheel. get as familiar as possible with your rig, and pay attention to which lines other rigs take. take notice of their wheelbase, because that makes alot of difference on certain obstacles. ive seen stock rigs outwheel heavily built rigs because of the drivers familiarity with their vehicle and because of driver skill. and when someone pulls out a camera, don't do something stupid just to make it big on youtube. your wallet will thank you.

havent seen the magazine itself. and I don't think the build is a JP mag build, but i could be wrong. as for the bumpers, the only Jeep stuff CBI makes looks to be JK specific. but CBI is in the same town that the MJ is listed for sale in, so its probably a custom build.

been for sale for a while too... http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/528327?ad_cid=4

id rather have someone put something in my truck without asking, than to have somoene take something from my truck without asking...

needs the nose slammed to the ground and some massive drags slicks out back, in addition to that blower you spoke of

"1400? no ty 1600? no. what would a good offer be? i am fixing it. paint job. 1800 with paint job? no. how much? i don't know yet." :doh: :fs1: :hmm: :???: :dunno:

i wish i could justify buying one of these.... :fs1:

I don't know many details, but Mark Smith, arguably the grandfather of the rockcrawling and 4x4 culture has passed. He was the first to drive places many only dream of. He crossed the Dariem Gap in a CJ on 33's, a feat that still stands as one of the hardest and untameable areas to drive. Without Mark, the 4x4 world would be a far different place, if it even existed at all. Rest in Peace, and may your trails be endless. his Bio from the Jeep Jamboree page: Mark A. Smith Founder In 1953 Mark A. Smith and a small group of Rotarians and friends figured out a way to boost the economy of Georgetown, California: stage an annual Jeep® vehicle trek across the Sierra Nevada Mountains by way of the old Rubicon Trail. The first Jeep Jamboree saw 155 people take on the Rubicon Trail. And in 1954, Willys Motors – then manufacturer of Jeep vehicles – became involved with the adventure. A member of the Off-Road Hall of Fame and the Explorers Club of New York, Mark A. Smith led the 1978-79 Expedicion de las Americas – a 20,000-mile, 120-day odyssey from the bottom of South America to the top of North America, crossing the infamous Darien Gap – and headed the 1987 Camel Trophy in Madagascar. Since founding Jeep Jamboree USA (JJUSA) in 1982, he’s become a Jeep brand consultant and conducts intensive training for U.S. Army Special Forces and other agencies.

gonna bump this back up to the top. Those of you who have plated frames, has it worked? what would you have done differently?

crawl a sand dune? good luck with that

Yea that shows up around here every few months. Looks like a sweet rig, kinda surprised nobody has grabbed it yet

i wanna see an MJ on the WK1 STR8 wheels :brows:

the d60 up front is going to be overkill for 35s i put an 89 f350 d60 under mine. its all in my build thread.

thats a sweet build. would love to see it in person

yea those are early ZJ wheels. and these are gamblers

and thats a possibility i suppose. i guess i wouldve called it a chassis, or a body, not a frame.

...which Jeep wheels look best on a comanche? Not talking about aftermarket wheels, but rather stock wheels from either a Comanche, or another Jeep direct from the factory. Could be any model or year. Pics are encouraged.
