Starting to post up some of our former wheeling pictures and videos. Now this was just after I got my jeep and was my first wheeling trip with it. Pretty much, this is where it all began. I wanted my jeep armored to help hold the winch and some lights. Started out on 225 BFG A/T’s. Got a roof rack for it off eBay and the fox racing guard.



Berk's friend Dan in his YJ on 32 BFG A/T’s



Berk of course in his former "trucks are better than jeeps" Nissan Frontier on 31 muds



Back then going in to the day was a little intimidating. Our first sight was…eek!



So we figured, we’ll make it through it!





Haha, so we I yanked him out and off we went on our trail run



Letting the other guys play around on the hill







And now we line up for a second attempt at the hole













And of course third time is the charm



And here it is in real time

Lol, can't help it when I get stuck in the infamous mudhole with only 2wd I'll post up the Icebreakers 2008 here in a few. How did the weekend wheeling go?

[fuzzy59]

Starting to scrounge all those pictures up This was the most recent wheeling trip up in northern Virginia, Icebreaker 2008. Unfortunately my jeep didn’t make it up since my friends are a lot bigger than me…for the time being…

Here’s some pictures of each guys rig that I went with:

Here’s my friend Foxx in his white xj.



Here’s his Dad in his xj and of course me having a brewski on the side as I guide him up the trail



This is Bill’s tj also known as “The Incredible Hulk”



Our other friend and trail guide Don in his yj…I’m seeing a common occurrence with me



Our friend Chip in his Rubi



And this is my boy Berk in his xj, I rode most of the weekend with him



After I sort through the rest of the pictures I’ll post up some more with the action shots and trail rides :-P

[fuzzy59]

Like I said I grabbed as few pictures from our northern Virginia, Icebreaker 2008 Big Dogs trip. 6,000 acres of legal wheeling and camping fun for the weekend. All my friends from my previous post are here in the action pics.

Foxx doing his thing going into the day’s trails



And chip rockin’ his Rubicon



And Berk with his XJ



Foxx Sr showing what his own XJ can do



Bill and his Rubi



And our friend and trail guide Don with his YJ



And now for some action shots throughout the weekend









At this point it started hailing on one side of the camp (our side of course) And this new stock JK tried going through a rough spot. Took 2 winches and some digging/shovels/and log removals but we got him moving.



The “Incredible Hulk” tanning







































That’s pretty much what our trip looked like. Sorry, no action shots of the after-night parties, but I tried to give anyone that hasn’t had a chance to make it up to Big Dogs and idea of what its like and for those who have been they most likely recognize trails like Penciltuckey and a few others. Let me know if you want any more pictures, still got a few others. I know there’s a few videos out on youtube of some of the other trails and the infamous Mud Pit, feel free to check them out!

So...get to your build!

[Jeeperoni91]

[fuzzy59]

Haha, I got to warm everyone up first with previous wheeling adventures! Then I'll post up some more recent work. Tom Woods are going in this week so it will be rolling, just not very far.

[Jeeperoni91]

What's left

[fuzzy59]

Haha, like a week or 2 of posting a bunch more action shots

[Jeeperoni91]

I meant on the jeep

[fuzzy59]

Oh lol

We just got the Tom Woods done. Finish the front steering up (waiting on TNT Customs to send in the jamnut), e-brake, exhaust, we need to relocate the rear coil mounts, cut off old control arm mounts, cut out rocker panel, mount new tires/wheels, etc etc. Plenty of work to go around

[berk9]

Like Berk was saying I have a bit of work that I've been doing to my jeep but I'm just trying to give everyone the background before I post up. I figured post up some past wheeling trips of my friends and my own rig and then I'll show the work that's getting done to it.

So the Clayton LA kit for my ZJ came in a few weeks ago so the other weekend Maxx and I decided to start installing what we could while we wait for my 231 to come out of Pat’s TJ. Overall it went very smooth and I got a bunch of pictures of the install for everyone to check out

First things first let’s laugh at the tonka toy next to the monster truck



To fit the Clayton unibody stiffeners we needed to cut part of the brackets off of KOR Rock Rails since they were in the way. I’m selling these to my brother anyway so we’ll build some new brackets when the time comes. Cut away!



Picked up some gloss black spray paint from Lowe’s, let’s start painting the cross-member, control arm brackets, and spacer.



Put the jack under the transfer case to release pressure on the drive-train so that we could unbolt the old cross-member and tc mount.



Bolting the new cross member, tc mount, ca mounts.



Now that everything is bolted and welded in, time to sand down the contact spots for the unibody stiffeners.



Maxx is probably laughing for two reasons in this picture



And part of it sanded down before we start lining up the stiffeners



And now with everything grinded down, welding time. Go Maxx!









And some of the finished product on the driver side stiffener, look at those purdy welds



Control arm brackets getting welded



And the finished product









The install on the first part of my Clayton went great. Since we had the stock exhaust still on my jeep we decided to hold off on the passenger side until we cut that sob off since we wouldn’t be able to grind or weld everywhere we needed too. Any questions or comment and feel free to post up. If you need any more pictures I can post more as well
