Explore Off Road

Explore Off Road

Krystal and I are more Explorers, going out into the back country to see what we see. Not really having any clue as to what the trail will be like, or what it will bring. Sometimes it's a simple trail with amazing views, or it could become rough and tight. Then sometimes we get lucky and get to see beautiful sights. Krystal drives a 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLU and I drive a 1988 Jeep XJ ... Which we may need to do some shop episodes because my XJ REALLY needs some love. I need to bring it back around. Mechanically she's good... Cosmetic needs some help.

    I just got into a crash with my xj and on mine i had to straighten the passenger side and i reused the same old center piece but i also straightened that one, not as good as yours but it worked out!

    Ha! Awesome, thank you!! ("Not as good as yours) Me just being a "learning as I go" type a guy, I really appreciate that. Mine wasn't a crash or anything, it was just all the torquing on the bumper when winching. I'm getting a new bumper ... I made the original one, but this time I'm going to buy one. So I'm leaving it there till that shows up. To make sure everything lines up and goes together properly. I'll still need to drill holes yet, but want to use the new braces to put the holes in the right spot. ... Thanks again, it is appreciated. And I'm sure yours is perfect.

    I've actually had this XJ for 24 years and it hasn't actually been that bad. This is from winching way too many other people out and finding out they were hung up on a stump ... Three times that happened. But it's mainly been wear and tear stuff ... And on occasion I break it, but she always gets me home

    That's awesome thank you, we appreciate that. We do love filming our adventures, so your comment is greatly appreciated! ... As for the Jeeps. The XJ is a 4.5" lift with 33's. My logic there, is so I can deal with almost anything in my way. As for the JLU. No lift and 33's... Though we have a 2.5" lift that we need to install. Thanks again!

    It doesn't take a lot to get out there, and it doesn't have to take a lot of money to start. 4x4 of course, and just a good set of tires. Then as one gains experience, you get to start adding all the Goodies ... The fun stuff. As our Wrangler shows, it just has good tires. Though we added the winch bumper, mainly for lighting, but then we can add the winch later ... Ready for future Expansion, I guess you could say.
