Where to?

Probably Carnage. My buddy may do his last minute chinamans shuffle , but will most likely be Buena Vista. I'm holding off on going to Sand hollow in Utah until I got more than a 34 hrs it's a fairly long trio that far down to bottom of Utah.

My buddy Danny 50% of the time decided to do chinamans. I'm really waiting for holy cross to open so I can get video this time walking the rock ...

Re: The Colorado BS thread

If you’re up there might as well run both?

I’ve never ran either and only have YouTube vids for comparison.

From New Mexico and the Jeep runs we did out there were more to areas vs actual trail runs. Now there was a method to the madness but not so much like carnage with posted signs and anchored winch points bro the rock... pretty neat up here

New hole in hood and ORI level it mounted front and rear. Just need to decide on hose routing and resevoir location that makes hose routing easiest . But badicly they re done took more time debating that hole in the hood I had 3 possible locations and one was on my exocage cowl spreader bar but this is probably the best spot .

Re: The Colorado BS thread

With me at 250 my brother at 150 up front... spare 150 on tire wheel combo and 250 lbs of tools and some spare parts it weighted 5600 lbs ... without those items it would have right around 4900-5000 dry weight . I cut off a lot of body and when I did the boat sides the weight shed from the heavy sliders and 18 inches of body about made for a break even after adding the boat sides ... So now I don't carry a spare and and the other stuff rides on the truck and trailer so I'd say the trail ready weight isn't any heavier than 5500 now ... it's heavy but you can flop it and not really care it won't bend it's beyond stout

Out of curiosity you got pics of your boatside? Going to boatside the MJ and trying to get ideas.

These are not mini sides like hooligan offroad there is a lot cut out here...lol... there is a lot of hours into it but they are basicly the center frame rails now... If these bend shits all over any way . How intense of a boatside are you looking to do ...just a lower rocker or way up mine are up past the door hinge ...its a lot of cutting and putting things back in place... a lower rocker replacement is a weekend job and mild cutting nothing up into the cab

Well it's still a TBD. Pretty sure I'm going to replace the drivers side floor board because of rust and theres also some rust in the cab corner. Lowest would be effectively right at the door sill. May go higher and just say f the doors and build some tube doors.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Replaced the dash in the XJ with a donor. Cleaned it up and painted it. Had to move all the wiring over from the old one. Had issues with the instrument cluster flexible connector and had to improvise.

Been searching for a year but scored good upholstery and swapped it over on the drivers seat. Steam cleaned the "new" seats and got a ton of dirt.

Hope to have it back together tonight and head down to Moab in a week.

I built mine up to the bottom of the lower hinge. Basically removed the entire rocker and made supports down to frame rails. Rebuilt floor from 16ga. Cut about 3-4" from doors. I assume it would be similar ish on an mj. It was a crap ton of work but one of the most worth while things I did.
