    Hello all,

    After pouring through pages of JEEPs crawling, wheeling, flexing, and whatnot on another forum (and having no luck searching for one here), I figured we should have a thread for JEEPs in action. (I know we have one to show JEEPs, but I think we need one for action! :p) So lets see videos of your rig out and about!

    I'll start off with mine, my body tub is actually not attached right now, (getting ready to pull it and do mount/channel work) so this is as far up that stump as I wanted to go. I think I coulda started to climb the tree next to it. :D

    We also need to keep a different direction from "show us your Jeep"

    Good point. I don't the HOA appreciated it, but the trees dead anyway.

    68BuickV6 we could make this the go to thread for videos
    we could leave "show us your jeep!" sticky as the go to pic thread, this thread can be more video intense.
    this way we have a how this type of rig handles on the trail, we can directly compare rigs, loading effects and even driving styles.
    otherwise I'm afraid we will have twin threads, anybody disagree?

    so tall and skinny, chevy v6, with cab; i'm sure it is a different experience than a cj6

    Bouncy!

    I like the video idea, lets do it! I'm not sure I can get away with climbing that stump twice in two days. :rofl:

    HOA aren't the happiest bunch.

    Now do you do much crawling? How are 5:38 gears for you with the T90?

    I wouldn't say I've ever crawled, mostly it is logging trails.
    the t-90 5.38 is not quite low enough for rougher trails as the 8ply tires don't help at all. my shocks and springs get worked hard, it is a fast tractor that can run errands, plow snow, and tow trailers around fields.
    I would lean towards a sm465 to help it offroad, the t90 O/D 5.38 is very drivable in Kansas City.
    A BBC clutch helps get things moving with ease and assist its semi-oddfire idle.

    I've had a similar issue in my rig. The t14 with whatever gearing I have (no clue what), is not low enough to crawl. The problem for me is I'm a crawler at heart, and of course, burning up my clutch is not the answer.

    This one's a few years old but it still qualifies as action. Actually it was about all the action I wanted for one day.

    Sometimes referred to as Bronco Hill (Anza Borrego, Pinyon Mtn a couple of miles past Heart Attack Hill).
