    It is refreshing to see someone else that cares about what trash others leave behind. I always take out more trash than I bring in. It's so disgusting how much people just toss in the beautiful wilderness. So Thank you for caring!

      Thanks man. We are really enjoying it. I have more I want to do to it to make a even better camping like storage drawers, roof rack and awning. Soon as I can find time.

    So cool that you and your kids picked up trash. I don't understand how people can go to the parks to enjoy the beauty and then walk away from their mess.
    Thanks for posting your awesome build. I just started on my WJ. Not a clue what I'm doing, I just know what I would like to do. Fricken rusty bolts really through a wrench into the progress. Your jeep looks so cool on those trails.

    • @SpiralDesignWorks

      Rusty parts make it hard to work on for sure. I am from Michigan so I understand. Fortunately I started with a rust free florida car on my build.

    22:29 My Jeep gets the best mileage on 89 but it's a '94 XJ with the 4.0
    I've ran tanks of all three, but in Oregon we only have 87, 89 and 91 but I'll definitely never run 87.

    awesome video. i did the western portion(west to east) until i had to cut off around blue ridge, GA. i can't wait to continue the middle portion from west to east soon!. i have 2 kids and cant wait to take them on this when they get a little older. do you have a particular section of the traverse that is your favorite?

    That is a beautiful WJ!! I love mine but the only issues I have had were with the calipers locking up! Had 2 front and 1 rear lock up on me... a common issue I have come to learn...
    Also how do you have your rack attached to the roof? Did you run a back plate inside the roof or build a structure?

    • @SpiralDesignWorks
      @SpiralDesignWorks  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      They came with Teves or Akebono calipers. One is better that the other I guess. Cant remember which one. ON the roof rack I built custom mounts that use 4 bolts each that go into rivnuts. Pulling the headliner and using large washers or backing plate would be a little better but so far so good.

    • @SpiralDesignWorks
      @SpiralDesignWorks  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would only do long arm either 4-6" springs. The biggest you can run is less than a 31" tire without trimming. The fender wells are very small.

      I, too, have an 04 Grand 4.0 (Special Edition). Just installed an RT Offroad 2" coil spacer lift to clear a set of 31" Goodyear Trailrunner ATs (265 / 70 x 16).
      I don't care for the AWD or the toothpick sized front driveshaft. Both will be converted to a double cardan driveshaft and a 242J t-case for that 2WD option.

      It is a Moombassa I bought used. I am convinced they are all made in the same factory in China and private label branded. I like being well off the ground but once you are set up you are stuck at camp. So as with anything has its pluses and minuses.
