    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    So far I haven't been brave enough to test it. 😀 where I Archery hunt it is very dry and dusty so I am eager to try the pre-filter system out. The snorkel itself is very sturdy and does not move, well designed and made. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

    A busy weekend in the knife shop

    We leave for Disneyland next week so I've been scrambling to get some knives done so we have some spending money. It's been a blur. A trio of Camp Knives in 1095 /15n20 Twist Damascus. A pair for a father and son. Walnut scales, white liners, brass pins. Maple Burl, black micarta pins...

    JKUR or Tacoma

    Not to mention the ability to remove the top and doors on the Jeep makes for fun summer driving and wheeling.

    JKUR or Tacoma

    I've had both, a 2013 Tacoma 4 door TRD and a 2015 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Both were great rigs but I would choose the Jeep again over the Toyota. The Wrangler is a more capable machine offroad and with a very inexpensive 2.5" lift can run 35's. The Tacoma takes a lot more time and money...

    Knife accessories

    A couple that I know just purchased the Mrs. A new JK Unlimited. So I had to make her a matching knife. https://youtu.be/QVP8Jp0XRQc On a side note, I received an email today from a casting producer of my favorite TV show Forged in Fire. I have an opportunity to try out for the show...

    Adventures in the Rubicon

    So yesterday, my Mom and Daughter wanted to go for a ride so I took them to the top of Pelican Butte in So. Oregon. It is just under 9000' at the top, great views all around.

    Adventures in the Rubicon

    My wife is heading back East to visit her sister for a week so I get to drive the wheels off of "her" Rubicon. I dropped her off at the airport (70mi from home) at 4:30am and took the scenic routes back home... Loving this Jeep. I did see a few wild horses but didn't get very good pictures...

    And so it begins... Again.

    We purchased a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport for the "wife" this weekend, the local dealer didn't have the one we wanted so they found us one in California. Long story short, when they went to pick it up the dealer sold it out from under us!! They found another Jeep for us today and made me...

    4.56 gears in a 2006 1500

    Thanks for the reply. Dodge has a tall. 68 overdrive and I will be running taller tires so I am still strongly considering the swap. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    4.56 gears in a 2006 1500

    I am saving for a gear swap, the ridiculously tall 3.55 gears are not cutting it. I read on several sites that the housing must be ground to fit 4.56 gears in the 2006 Ram 1500 front and rear housings. Can anybody confirm or dispel this information? Those that have done the swap with a 4.7L...

    2006 Ram 1500 Front locker

    I am pulling together funds to swap my stock 3.55 gears for 4.56 in my 2006 Ram 1500. I am currently running 285/70R17 (32") but will likely be putting 285/75R17 (34") on this fall. I am likely going to put a truetrack in the rear at the same time. I have a few questions. 1) how are the...

    Full Size Dodge Thread

    I started out with a 98 Ram 1500 which served me well for many years. Then I found my dream truck, a 2006 Power Wagon. I could not keep it at the time and had to send it down the road...I really miss that truck. Now I have a 2006 Ram 1500 that will slowly be built to suit my needs. I...

    2012 Toyota Tacoma TRD 1 Year Review

    There are good adventures in every direction. Due to the long rail logging history in this area, there are thousands of miles of dirt roads criss crossing the countryside.

    2012 Toyota Tacoma TRD 1 Year Review

    Well, it has been one year and a week sense I purchased my brand new 2012 Tacoma TRD and I figured I would post my thoughts. I traded off my 2006 Dodge Power Wagon and for an off road truck this thing was a BEAST!! I REALLY liked the Power Wagon but could not afford to drive the thing when I...
