johnny quest Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 got out and played around in the desert this weekend. no actions shots, cause not much action was had. mostly dirt roads and a bit of mud. but better than nothing right?
87shortbed comanche Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 looking good. desert driving is always fun.
johnny quest Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 yea. we just messed around south of 5mile. it was a beautiful day, like 60*+. hopefully you got out to enjoy it too.
ajamison Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 what kind of steering setup are you running? looks like stock 1 ton? any plans for high steer, hyrdo assist or full hyrdo? I'm curious because I'm soon ready to order steering stuff for 1 ton project, i have hyrdo assist already, but i also have parts for full hyrdo and hi steer...

Gonna upgrade to the ruffstuff 7/8ths heim system pretty soon, along with their high steer arms, and hydro assist is down the road.
neohic Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 ... Gonna upgrade to the ruffstuff 7/8ths heim system pretty soon, along with their high steer arms, and hydro assist is down the road. And a rear bumper on the list too? :D
johnny quest Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 haha YES. to be honest, i havent even unwrapped those brackets yet. BUT i do have some metal that ill be working with. don't expect much, but it will most likely be very similar to the front bumper
Dirteatr717 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 sweeet! post more wheeling pics, I know theres more :banana:
johnny quest Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 thanks! in other news, the chief made it down to moab last night. we're leaving at 5am tomorrow to get down there and hit up some redrock!
johnny quest Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 totally forgot about this thread until just now. Been on numerous local trips over the past few months without much drama. yesterday we (local wheeling club) did a trail up to Jacob City, which is an old minig town about an hour outside Salt Lake City. Lots of elevation change, a bit of history, and some nice scenic wheeling. Got kinda tight in spots, and most rigs ended up with some 'rocky mountain pin-striping', but other than a flat tire on the way out (mostly bald BFG AT), it was a great day. parked down at Jacob City, not much left, and i forgot to take pictures of the cool stuff. heading up these next two pictures were taken in the same spot, from slightly different angles. Thsi spot can barely be seen in the first picture; look for a faint line across the open slope above the cloud shadow. thats the trail. the switchbacks we came up can be seen just over the bed of the truck we found a bus! it was dragged up in the way-back-whens as a hunting shelter. not much left now though
johnny quest Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 not many changes to the truck itself lately. trimmed the rear quarters and removed the bumper, and trimmed the wheelwells a bit more, and added some 2" spacers so the tires would clear the LCAs, but no other big chages other than that. very happy with how everything is working. Next project will be rocklights, and installing a Novak 231 shifter, which i have not yet purchased, but desperatly need to. Also, the passenger side window is stuck open, but which hasnt been an issue, but will be when the temperature start to drop.
jmaxj Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I heard there was a sweet 1 ton MJ on that trip I needed to see. Guess I just did haha
jmaxj Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Meat and badger. Green ZJ and 5.9 ZJ Too bad you guys didn't go up the cool way. But still fun going there anyway.
johnny quest Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 oh yea haha. the 5.9 ripped his tire pretty good on the way out
johnny quest Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 ran Mary Ellen's Gulch yesterday. topped out at 10,364'. very bumpy trail, but the view was well worth it. mary ellens on the right, mineral basin on the left, snowbird ski resort on the far left. at the top. we had to 'break the barrier' in order to safely turn around. can you find the Jeep? (hint: silver JK)
johnny quest Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 just got the chief back from a buddy yesterday, where he was getting grizzly lockers and 5.38s installed, along with a pair of Solid diff covers. who's got two thumbs and is pretty friggin pumped? this guy. heading to Moab for thanksgiving and i cannot wait!
