Hey guys,
I just listened to your show where you requested ideas for next years SEMA build. I think it would be great to take an old 60’s era CJ and completely modernize it. Make it look old but have it built with all modern parts. Crate motor, axels, interior, lift, the whole 9 yards. Also I would be willing to let you use my 62 Willis for the build 😀. Love the show, Keep up the great work.
Thanks,
Jeremy aka “Flash”

Great podcast with a lot of good info. Looking to upgrade my front axle on a 2015 Wrangler unlined Sahara and was curious if anyone had any input (good or bad) on the teraflex 44 housings or any other manufactures with similar housing upgrades? J-

I have a questions about a 4×4 chevy tahoe 99. I have fixed my rear differential 3 time because for some reason my tires are locking on turns does anybody know how I can fix that and how can I keep it to where my 4×4 drive together???
Miguel

As I am new to wheeling, I really enjoy listening to your Pod Casts! Thank you for putting in the time and energy into this program. Bought our JK in June completely stock. They are right about Jeep standing for “Just empty every pocket”.

Episode 69 and 70 for more info on snow wheeling.

To my surprise, several club members attended the Prairie City PIG Meeting yesterday 12/15. I was a little concerned what jargon we would hear having never been involved in a meeting like this with Prairie City. It was pretty informative and afterwards, I have to say I was glad I attended. The staff at Prairie City seems to be very pro OHV use which makes sense.

They discussed several issues pertaining to the park, their fight with the county for access to their event entrance after the redesign of White Rock Rd, regulation changes to event permits, general fund issues, future expansion plans, obstacle construction and a slue of other topics. Let’s skip ahead and talk about what we really care about and that’s the obstacle construction.

In the summer of 2016, they plan to develop the 4×4 area with additional obstacle construction. This new obstacle will connect the whoops by the pyramid to the pipeline route with the intentions of creating a more trail like experience. The obstacle will have three routes through it, a tall pipe style hill to go up and over, a smaller version hill and a valley to maneuver through. Loose rocks will be placed before and after the hill climbs. They had a pretty cool little model of what they plan to build.

They were seeking recommendations or changes to the model. I think it would be a great addition to the park.
