Paragon Adventure Park New Territory 1999
This started out to be a visit to Paragon to check out a little used section of the property and turned out to be a challenging and enjoyable day.
Dana 300 4:1 Tera Low Installation – Part 2
We started out by disassembling the second Dana 300. The fact that neither of us ever did this slowed us down a little. We found that following the manual was useful. A press would have been helpful and so would a good gear puller set but we managed. It is almost impossible to remove the …
Dana 300 4:1 Tera Low Installation
Glenn’s 85 CJ-7 has little problems off road. One area that could use some improvement is a crawl ratio of 32.3:1 that is somewhat high. The T-176 transmission has a 3.52 low gear and Glenn’s Jeep has 3.54 axle ratios. The Dana 300 transfer case offers a 2.62:1 low range which makes Glenn’s Jeep tolerable …
Paragon Adventure Park New Years Day 1999
Here you have it a great way to start of the New Year, though I did choose not to attend the fun but cold (so I heard) New Years Eve Paragon activities! Crawling out of bed at 6:00am doesn’t work very well when you get home at 3:30am from your own New Years Eve activities.
Line Mountain 3.5 Miler 1998
The Line Mountain 3.5 Miler is 3.5 miles of racing through the woods. The course consists of a variety of terrains from rocks, mud, ruts, hills, and straight-a-ways.
Detroit EZ-Locker Install
The Detriot EZ-Locker is an inexpensive but very effective means of obtaining a true locking differential in your Jeep. Recently we picked up one from OK Auto and installed it into Glenn’s 85 CJ-7. His Jeep was equipped with a Dana 44 wide-trac axle with an open differential. Note: Detroit no longer makes the EZ-Locker …
CJ Spare Tire Carrier DIY
After looking for some time for a good spare tire carrier that can hold something bigger than a 235 size tire I became quite disgusted. You see it is easy to find a good carrier if you have $500 or more. After looking closely at these in magazines, catalogs, and the back of Jeeps I …
Skyjacker 2.5″ CJ Lift Kit
After a few trail rides with a stock suspension, the underside of the Jeep starts showing too many trail damage scars that might have been avoided if the Jeep had a little more ground clearance. It was definitely time for the jeepfan.com 78 CJ-5 to get a lift.
Clearfield – Winter 1998
Clearfield is a place we go several times a year, it is beautiful any time. We stay in a cabin with no electric and no water. The trails are old logging trails and offer a variety of challenges. While we were here it snowed about 4 inches over night and made for some fun the …
