Jeep Blog and Overview of Uncle's Jeep

This month have not been working on my jeep, or really doing much. A few days ago I got my license, but still have to work on my jeep before I can go on any off road trips. So far, I do not have any major trips planned soon, but my uncle really wants to go. He just got his Jeep back from 4 wheel parts and is dying to go try it out. He went all out; he put a 4-inch lift, an atlas, a G2 dana 60 in the rear and dana 44 in the front, and  37-inch tires on his two-door 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK.

Honestly, I am dying to get my Jeep built to go. I can not wait, but until then I am stuck waiting while I work on it in my free time. Recently I found this really cool post from The Jeep Blog called Prepping for Overland off-roading with the Jeep Wrangler. You guys should check it out if you are not too busy.




This blog is mainly talking about the "best" Jeep for off-roading, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Many people may think that the most modern vehicle is the best, which it is, but other Jeeps can still perform just as well. The part of this blog post I believe everyone should see is the 4 point checklist.

In this checklist, it goes over the essentials for an off-road adventure. You should always overpack on camping gear, like food, because you may break and have to spend the night or get lost. Someone you go with should have a map of the trail to avoid getting lost; and someone should carry an emergency kit, just in case. With these three most important things anyone can survive an adventure and have fun.

New Year, New Start

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great year, but now it is about the future, not reflecting on the past. Last year was a lot of fun; I got my permit and started to work on my jeep.I did not get as much done as I was hoping and did not go on as many trips this last year as I wanted. Hopefully, this year I will somewhat complete my jeep and get my driver's licence, so I can go on more trips and drive all the trails we will be going on. This year, since it is the time to make a new year resolution, I am going to make a to-do list.

1. Get my driver's
    licence
2. Finish my Ford 9
    inch build and my
    dad's 44 front-end
    build
3. Install my dad's
    front-end
4. Install all of my
    parts (including
    rear-end, dad's
    previous front-end,
    1 1/2 inch spring
    over lift, etc.)
5. Go to Shaver Lake
    area and go on
    many of the trails
    over there
6. Go to the rubicon
    and maybe Fordyce
7. Don't break
    anything on the
    Jeep the whole
    year







As a recap of the changes that happened this last year include, deciding to put in a 1 1/2 inch spring over lift, I got the Chromoly axels but have not put together the 9 inch, installed a custom roll cage, got everything I need to install the front and rear ends, and ended up getting a center consul and radio. Overall last year was everything I wanted, but this year is when everything is going to happen and I will have my completed Jeep.
