Got some goodies for the Jeep for Christmas. Part of its below, along with some other things I just hadn't updated yet.

I've been working on a "survival box" for the back of the Jeep, I've got some things to add, but this is what I've got so far.

Basic LED Flashlight with one battery removed and taped up to prevent it from turning on in the box.

Image

Things I got for Christmas for the box, waterproof matches(two packs of these are going in my tool bag, more on it later) and a emergency blanket.
Image

Windproof lighter, figure you can never have too many fire starters in an emergency situation.

Image

Basic knife and combo whistle and fire starter.

Image

Didn't get this for Christmas, but this is something key that I've already needed a couple of times and didn't have at deer camp, lock deicer. I've had key switches freeze twice now on my side by side. I actually had the gear shifter freeze up on my atv last year, so this stuff has earned a spot in my emergency kit. Although I guess it might be more suited in the tool bag, i'll keep it here for now.
Image

Speaking of Christmas and Jeeps, my drive way was looking pretty good yesterday. My Liberty is the one kind of out of site, along with my brother-in-law's Liberty and my father-in-law's Wrangler.

Image
Image
Image


Should have a couple more updates coming soon, I got a bully bar for the front along with two Hella driving lights I hope to have on next week. Also upgrading the headlights and fog lights to silvania silverstar bulbs.

Also going to get some wheel time in on Saturday, while the inlaws are in town we are all loading up and heading out to do a little back road riding as well as heading up the family property to ride around a little, can't wait! Photos to come!

Did a little riding today as promised with the in-laws and their Wrangler.

Our original plan was to head across "Rainbow Springs" which is basically a state maintained dirt road that connects the two big mountains on the west side of the county to each other. There is a private community mixed in with it with a protected creek that has some of the best trout fishing in the country. Its about 12 miles, nothing rough, just scenic mostly.

When we got there, we were met with a bit of a surprise.
Image

Image

Being as there are tons of houses in there, I seriously doubt it was "closed", but in good keeping of a respectful trail rider, we obeyed and turned around.

This road would have brought us out on the mountain range where my family property is, but instead we had to back track, but we hit a few more side roads and limited our four lane time to about a 1/2 a mile.

Once there, we had to make a quick pit stop, junior was hungry!

Image

Couple of random shots while we were waiting.

Ready to ride and put out some trail camera's to see how many big bucks we missed this year. Speaking of camera's, got the Go Pro's ready to ride too.

I got a new computer for Christmas and the updated Movie Maker has me baffled right now, so it might be a while before I get the Go Pro footage of the trails up, but on the way back down the mountain, I put it on time lapse, here are some still photos from that.

Overall we put about 60 miles on the Jeeps today, took the boy on his first four wheeling trip, and it was my father in laws first time off road in his Wrangler, he just got it a few weeks back, so it was a good day!


I mentioned earlier I got some new lights, here is a sneak peak of those, hoping to get them on one day next week!

Finally got my light bar on!! It sticks out a little farther than I was hoping, but I like it. I like the light choice, I was going for more the rally/driving look than an off road look with these lights. Gonna add some square LED's and a LED bar soon too. Gonna light the world up!
Image
Image

I also updated the headlights to Sylvania Silverstars in the headlights and fog lights. I haven't got to drive it after night yet, so that report will have to wait. Hoping to get some video and photos over the weekend or sooner.

I had upgraded the battery back at the start of the winter, but I ended up changing again. I sell Interstate Batteries at my business and my boys from Interstate hooked me up with a deal I couldn't turn down on their new(well they've been out for a year or so) AGM battery, basically an optima except better. The cold cranking amps are rated the same but this thing tested out at like 1300+ cold cranking amps. Its a bad boy plus it sealed.

Image
Image

Oh, one more thing, the switch for the lights. I'm not 100% sold on this yet, but we hid the light switch in the little storage box on the left side.

Image

I like the clean look, but I may move it to the outside of this box like I had originally planned a little later, especially after I start adding more switches.

Finally got a light photo, I'm not really happy with the big lights, not as bright as I had hoped and they are a little low. Plus the bull bar has some vibration in it. But they look cool, I'll just add some LED's later!

Image


Finally got to play in some snow with her, even with my crappy tires she goes good, we had about six inches this morning!

Finally got my much needed tires! I've had great luck with Coopers over the years so I didn't see any reason and changing up a good thing! These are a little noisy and ride a little rough, but I think that's just the old age setting in! Can't wait to try them off road!

Went with one size bigger, 245/70/16's. These should last me a while, then it will be lift time before the next set!
