It is refreshing to see someone else that cares about what trash others leave behind. I always take out more trash than I bring in. It's so disgusting how much people just toss in the beautiful wilderness. So Thank you for caring!

So cool that you and your kids picked up trash. I don't understand how people can go to the parks to enjoy the beauty and then walk away from their mess. Thanks for posting your awesome build. I just started on my WJ. Not a clue what I'm doing, I just know what I would like to do. Fricken rusty bolts really through a wrench into the progress. Your jeep looks so cool on those trails.

Rusty parts make it hard to work on for sure. I am from Michigan so I understand. Fortunately I started with a rust free florida car on my build.

That is a beautiful WJ!! I love mine but the only issues I have had were with the calipers locking up! Had 2 front and 1 rear lock up on me... a common issue I have come to learn... Also how do you have your rack attached to the roof? Did you run a back plate inside the roof or build a structure?
@SpiralDesignWorks 3 жыл бұрын
They came with Teves or Akebono calipers. One is better that the other I guess. Cant remember which one. ON the roof rack I built custom mounts that use 4 bolts each that go into rivnuts. Pulling the headliner and using large washers or backing plate would be a little better but so far so good.

awesome video. i did the western portion(west to east) until i had to cut off around blue ridge, GA. i can't wait to continue the middle portion from west to east soon!. i have 2 kids and cant wait to take them on this when they get a little older. do you have a particular section of the traverse that is your favorite?

The closed section of Tray Mountain Rd is my favorite. Hopefully they will open it up again.

Cool video, just purchased and 04 wj.....what size lift you recommend to fit some 33 without having to cut or trim body or bumper?

I would only do long arm either 4-6" springs. The biggest you can run is less than a 31" tire without trimming. The fender wells are very small.

I, too, have an 04 Grand 4.0 (Special Edition). Just installed an RT Offroad 2" coil spacer lift to clear a set of 31" Goodyear Trailrunner ATs (265 / 70 x 16). I don't care for the AWD or the toothpick sized front driveshaft. Both will be converted to a double cardan driveshaft and a 242J t-case for that 2WD option.

It is a Moombassa I bought used. I am convinced they are all made in the same factory in China and private label branded. I like being well off the ground but once you are set up you are stuck at camp. So as with anything has its pluses and minuses.
