The sigs only tell part of the tail. So, I am starting a thread on trail rigs. What mods and so on. Tell all you want about your trail rig.

Mine started life as a 85 CJ-7. Not much left of the original Jeep. The only thing original to the one I bought as a stocker is the hood, Frame, and Tranny. Everything else has been replaced or changed.

118" wheel base, stretched all in the rear.
Dana 60 front, Corp 14 bolt rear. Both with Detroit lockers. 4:56 gears
Rear has disk brakes also.

To be installed this week, Pertonix igniter to take the place of my points dizzy
My Pane tanks sit on a rack which is hinged and can lift via a pneumatic cylinder to access a hidden tool box made possible from the frame stretch
60" Hy lift
Big parts and spares box, tool box, recovery box, Cooler, Vice
Ready welder on board
Soon to have a new strapless Bikini top
Windjammer
Tub is cut behind the seat and enclosed
Cobra 25 CB
Velcro grab handles

1 inch body lift
warn front bumper(wait stretch that, its gone)
warn rear bumper, tire carrier
bank header
those little handles that help the short people get in
jks rockers, I LOVE THOSE!!!
custom front bumper, made like Moore high clearance, but 1/4 steel (now I might when a battle with a telephone poll!!!)
That little shackle thingy in the back that I use so much
8.8 rear, locked (but I can not remember the name of the locker, limited slip)
I can't remember, 4.56 gears or 4.11 or something like that
4.5 Rubicon express super flex

some radio, mp3 and xm, remote never works
That little thing that tells you what degree you are sitting, but I never use it

soon to be mall-rated badge, and a huge windshield banner sticker (more HP!)
fire extinguisher sitting next to the high lift
a trail cover

I figured with all the random stuff and things I forgot, it at least looks like I have something if you just glance at this post, but if you read it.. :banghead:

minus the tera flex belly up skid, and my passenger who decided not to join me (WHY I wonder?)

minus the doors
