The Hot Tub, on Hell's Revenge Moab Easter Jeep Safari 2002

Throughout the week of EJS, we'll deliver coverage from trails like Hells Revenge, Cliffhanger, and Upper Helldorado. This is the next best thing to being there in person!

Do you need more ground clearance on your TJ but don't want to add more suspension lift or bigger tires? A flat skid plate may be the answer for you. We will take you through the install of a flat skid plate and the other parts necessary to make it work, and as a bonus we will show you what we did to improve ground clearance under the gas tank at the same time.

After a couple of near misses, and just plain close calls I decided that it was time to add a little more protection to the inside of the Jeep. We spend so much time and money working on the suspension, engine, and the interior of our off-road toys so that we can go higher and deeper into the woods or rocks than ever before. This is one of the few modifications that could pay for it self after only one use and get you back home in safe one piece.
Project SkyMiles "Phase II"
Project SkyMiles "Phase II" is a combination of upgrades designed to strengthen the Cherokee XJ, make it more versatile, and position the Jeep for future upgrades. The main pillars of Phase II are the addition of a Klune-V 4:1 planetary underdrive and the switch to a Dana 44 rear axle. The upgrade was far from a simple two-step upgrade, however.

Tales from the Trails

Rocks, steep hills and ice... All at once. What more do you want from Winter 4 Wheeling? RPM 4x4 hosted a Winter run on January 12, 2002 and it provided plenty of challenge for all who attended.

Nestled in the Flint Hills of Eastern Kansas is one of the best Midwest locations for adventuring off-road. Located at the NW end of Tuttle Creek Reservoir, just East of the town of Randolph, off of Secrest Road. The park is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, and has been adopted by the Flatlanders Jeep Club in Manhattan.

A Friend in Need... 'Wheelers Unite
Scott Phillips had a well-built Jeep CJ-7 a few years back, but his frame and body rusted right out from under him... life priorities drove his resources elsewhere, and retired the Jeep into storage. Scott stayed active in the 4x4 community, judging at ARCA and UROC, pitching in to help other 'wheelers, and working On Land Use issues, but the time and money never came together to get this Jeep out of storage... until a group of friends got together to unite donated parts from California with Scott's old Utah Jeep parts. These friends donated time, dollars, and shop space -- it’s amazing how things just seem to work out when good people get involved to help someone out, especially 4-wheelers around the holidays.
