I'd jump on this in a heartbeat if you weren't on the opposite end of the country from me. GLWS

At the moment, it's pretty crude honestly. I just have a metal wire wrapped around and zip-tied to to the latch mechanism that leads up to the top of the hatch panel. I then just grabbed whatever I had that could serve as a handle to pull up on the latch... which is a heater hose t at the moment...

Awesome! I really like the window vents. Did you build those out of ABS plastic and door screen? I've been wanting to do something similar. For that last trip, I just put AVS window visors on and kept the windows cracked (crank windows rock!). I don't remember why I picked the driver side to...

The interior looks great! Looks like it was originally a gold exterior color - is that camo paint or a wrap? If you look up "Cruiser's Renix Tips" on CherokeeForum.com, you'll get a lot of useful info on that era XJ. What transfer case & rear axle does it have? Curious if you have a factory...

Ha! How can you go wrong with the ARB/Warn combo!? They're literally made for each other haha.

Love the LJ! Nicely kitted out - what size tire are you running?

Hello Nissan heads! Pardon the interruption from a Jeep XJ owner but I'm thinking of dipping my toes into your pool. I'm looking to get a used "small" crew cab long bed 4x4 pickup as a winter driver/adventure vehicle, and parts runner while I work on my Jeeps (they need some garage time). I'm...

Are those wheels from a WJ Grand Cherokee? That's seriously the first Patriot I've seen that I really like? Does it have that "low range" setting for the CVT (assuming it's that and not a stick)

Dang - that's awesome. It's like an "Australian Spec" JK with the stretch and the bed.

Man, that really makes me want to get a V8 WJ for towing/carrying more payload. I love your setup. Here's a recent poser shot of my attempt at a sub 4,500lb do-it-all, master of none, 4X4 with no roof rack or tire carrier. I need to get even more creative with interior storage so I can...

Sorry to be "that guy" but a 285/75R18 should measure around 11-11.5" wide, not 9". Still, a skinnier 35 than most but a 9" wide tire would be more like a 225mm or 235mm tire.
