I love me some Grand Wagoneer

Orgazmic...Grand WagoneersWhat made you fall in love with the Jeep brand?

For me it was the Grand Wagoneer.  I have never owned one, but boy I have always wanted to.  When I was in High School a would have given my left nut for a Grand Wagoneer.  Any color would have worked…just as long as it had the faux wood paneling.  Dang I love that.

Now that you know some history here is a good link.  Check out these incredibly restored units.  God gosh, if I had cash.

What was your first Jeep love?

Searching for a Trail Builder?

Salvage Jeep Link

I was search around a few weeks ago for my brother in law.  I was looking for an inexpensive XJ for my Niece.  I came across a great little site.  The site shows eBay auctions for salvage title and other wrecked automobiles.  What a great place to find a new Trail Builder.  I will be searching there if I ever feel the need to build a Trailer Queen

This would not fly in today’s America

Jeep Advertising in Denmark

This may have been around a while but it’s still worth posting.  Above is just one photo showing Jeep’s 2007 advertising campain in Denmark.  Click the jump link to see the rest of the photos.  Great idea.

I’m not sure it would fly here in the US.  Too many people would be upset about it.  The above image alone would leave the left front tire in a flower bed.  Inranging the tree hugging community.  What do you think?

Video Out Cable For 2007+ Mopar 6 disc/DVD radio

Mopar did us a great service and disservice by allowing DVD audio from their 6 Disc/DVD radios. It’s fun to listen to the King of the Hammers Video but it’s quite another thing to watch it!

If you have the 6 disc/DVD radio from Mopar your now in luck.  I have access to the cable you see below.  No more soldering that left over Christmas video cable.  Just buy this production unit. Connect this cable to the back side of your radio.  PIN 6 and PIN 7 slots allow video to be seen via an LCD. It’s that easy.

SPECS:

  • 36 inches in length
  • semi flush mounting
  • mounting screws

They sell for $49.95 and will be shipped free via USPS.  I will have some in stock after the first of the year.

(The later production units will only have a two prong, flat, radio end.  Current unit has a blank third slot.  Only two of the current prongs are live.)

Spy Shot

Our new sticker.  This is literally the first sticker off the cutter.  I should have them up for sale after Christmas.  Start telling your friends.

Show Your LUVMYJP Pride

Shameless I know.  I have actually had requests.  Order here

<--- See this Jeep...it's for sale...again

My old Jeep; the one I sold 8 months ago, pictured on the left of the blog, is up for sale again, and again and again.  If he sells it the owner will be the 4th owner in 8 months.  Not sure why, it’s a hell of Jeep, rides like a Cadillac.

Forum Update

I updated the forum to the new release.  I have also removed the banning of certain email addresses.  The new registration process should help curb spammers getting in.

Hopefully this new update will spark some interest and allow some users in.  The forum software has some great tools.  I don’t even run banner ads on it, yet.

Thanks and enjoy the forums.

Fabtech JK Bumper

I finally got the call that my JK bumper was in.  I payed for this thing back in August.  Fabtech was having some production issues…blah, blah.  All I can say is Troy at BIGoffroad was wonderful through the whole process.  I got a smoking deal.  If you have any interest in Fabtech, or anything else for that matter don’t hesitate to call Troy.

The bumper came in plain back powder coating.  I was tossing around the idea of coating it in the Jeep’s Red Rock color.  The plan right now is to install it and see how it looks in black.

The other thing I was confused about was the factory fog lamps.  I was not sure what to do with them.  Then I found the picture below.  This guy used some 3″ PVC to make “cans” to hold the factory lights.  Awesome idea!  I sure wish I could find a picture of how he closed off the back of the light.  I will mount my lights a little closer to the front, but I sure love the idea.

EDIT: I found some more links to his build
