By now I think everyone would agree that the TJ is the most capable stock Jeep ever built, but that wasn’t good enough for Tim Kyle, he wanted a rig that could tackle some of the hardest trails in the country, and turn some heads doing it. So, Tim got a stock ’97 TJ and […]

The morning started off with the toughest obstacle of the day – a drop down into a creek bottom, and a steep, rocky climb up the other side. Getting the tires loaded up with mud in the bottom made climbing the rocks more challenging.

Not to mention you could overheat and get stuck on the side of the road. For the first five years of its […]

note: the ORV area in Denton was on private property and has been shut down. Sunday, July 23, 2000. Denton, TX. Finally, my first trail run in Texas and my first trail run with the Jeeps of North Texas (JNT). We started the day out by meeting at the Sonic off 288 in Denton at […]

Installation date: 2/7/00 One of the most important add-ons for off-roading in your Jeep is a skid plate for the transfer case. The transfer case housing is made of aluminum, and while it’s pretty strong, and I have seen photos of housings that have been cracked open by rocks. Some Jeeps (with the UpCountry or […]

Installation date: 12/22/99 JKS, the company that developed the first commercial swaybar quick disconnects, has done it again. Their new “Quicker” disconnects look to be the easiest to use disconnects yet, and they’re super quiet too. I’ve been through two other sets of discon’s (Rubicon Express and Tomken), and the new JKS discon’s are by […]

If your Jeep didn’t come with a factory hitch and towing wiring harness, wiring your rig for towing can seem like a complicated task, but it’s really pretty easy. All you need is a screwdriver, a socket wrench, and a T-connector wiring harness. You can get T-connector harnesses from just about any autoparts store, I […]
