 Our 1978 CJ-7 have had it for about 4 years now, a couple people up here (Crystal falls/Amasa area upper peninsula MI) with Cjs/Wranglers go on some decent technical rides and I mostly ride around our 65 acre property, nothing like most of u guys are seeing, don’t have any pics on my new phone will have some in the future. Plan on getting rid of Chinese Warn VR winch  and just rolling with a come A long right now

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By diggerwolf: Are those stock wheels? Are we looking at an unmolested TJ? ‘95 YJ Stock wheels, but when I got new rubber I went up a little bit from the roller skate size factory recommendation. The inside has definitely been molested with bedliner, but it’s rust free, and sun faded, from AZ. |

I’m late to the party. I just got my first Jeep last week.
I’m really surprised by the gas mileage. Been getting 21.6 on the interstate going back and forth to work.  Attached File |

Lift, big tires, and a new bumper winch combo will have you down in the middle to low teens in no time flat. |

Not sure how I feel about the position of this, the plastic nut that holds the ball into the charger is bulky and doesn't allow full articulation. I do like how clean the 6" USB cable and right-angle adapters look. I don't plan on using it off-road, but hopefully the Magsafe is strong enough to hold it day to day.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eleven-Hotel: https://i.imgur.com/ctqAt66.jpg They already stick out a little, I haven’t any issues, and is my third set of BFG’s on it. Those RC fenders look darn close to stock width, maybe an inch difference, l think I could live with that. The BFG A/T's (and all tires, really) pick up a certain size of rock. Back when I had them, there were a few places that had the appropriately grabby sized rocks laid as gravel roads, and yeah, you're tossing them big time. But many other people might never see that same problem, or might see it with different tires. M/T's don't tend to have that problem because the treads are so wide, and road tires don't because the rocks they do pick up are super tiny. |

If you noticed, the mounts come with a little metal letter F looking thing about 2 inches long in the box somewhere. I thought it was swag for a keychain, but it is a tool to use on the thumb knobs to really, really get them tight. Works awesome. Find it, use it, your mount will never shift again. |

Some stargazing last week. 25 second exposure wide open on a tripod in the pitch dark, new moon.
Remarkable what can be captured. And any night on a beach in a jeep is a good night indeed.

Pretty sure mine didn't come with that little tool, but I bought mine back when it was Bulletproof Designs. The design appears to have been changed slightly since then, too. My balls are still serrated, though.  I finally got a crescent wrench on the knob and got it torqued enough to stay in place. |
