It was 1970, and I had begun my 4th year of Jeeps, since I had my first when I was 14, as all ranch kids up Montana way drive early on the farms and ranches. It was my senior year in HS and I had been courting a lot up to that time, and one day I spotted a maiden that stunned me. She was like...

A Story, back in 1988, one Jeep before current ride, VEX, here on the site an profile. VEX has about a gazillion mods done to it and there is a profound reason it weighs 3 tons and has 1 ton rated drivelines and 12,000 pound winches front and rear, and on and on and on. This is not because I...

Hi everyone, Robert here. Just got back inside the US. I am living here in Las Cruces, NM but wanted to know if there were any Jeepers here from NM or El Paso, TX area, that would like to get together Jeepin'? Also, folks with passport and Visa for MX would be great so we can go down into...

Hi everybody, First time I've ever posted like this with something I can't solve for some reason. Must be because I am 12 hours away from being 60. Ha... Ok, put new battery in as I have on VEX over the last 20 years about 7 times, and lo, lasted one day and went dead. Can't find open or...

Hi everyone, Am settled for a short time back here in Las Cruces, home, and saw the site here again and posted a few. I have a question from a long time Jeep guy, me, 49 years and counting, about this new model of 'Jeep'. This is not a flame or being a jerk at all but I am intrigued, but what...

Hi everybody, I sold my Jeep factory hard doors finally on VEX and am wanting to get the dark sand color soft doors for a 1983 CJ-7 (VEX), and want either new or used, and the color that already matches VEX's soft. Preferably used for costs. Any help from anyone wanting to sell, if they have...

Hi everyone, Just got back into US with VEX, back here to Las Cruces NM. I'm not sure if I am posting this is the right area but wanted to get your help if possible everyone. I am selling VEX's factory Jeep Hard Doors, in exchange I am going with the full, two piece soft doors as offered by...

In these 46 years I've never had a slush box (Automatic Trans.) in a Jeep. With that question, for all you that run them, what is the biggest and nastiest 4 speeder that can fit into a CJ7 with the Dana 300 TC? Thank you everyone who know these things for answering me on this. Robert

Hi everyone, My Dana 60s are almost done for VEX but I also found a deal on a pair of 44s for a CJ-7 with ARBs installed. The 60s really add to an already very heavy Jeep and since all of you know how VEX is set up, for those that have ran both, I am thinking of going with the D44s instead of...

Atlas: Wanted to post a question to everyone that may have installed these transfercases, either model and how they like them, the cost, and install info and then in operation how they assess their performance both on and off road. I am getting my Dana 60s rebuilt in VEX so they are out of the...

............When your fuel costs for the week, and the cost for the Space Shuttle Atlantis, all 13,000,000 pounds of it, are the same....... Chime in with your own, since I could not find this topic here in search. So: "So You Know You Drive A CJ When...." Tragic. Robert

Hi everyone, I am enjoying this site so much after a return for a time away. So many cool rigs, and all good folks that post the most fun and erudite posts and comments. A real pleasure and fellowship place. With that said, wanted to start a thread like I have over on my own forum of our...

I was playing around updating and answering messages on my own forum, chatting with some old NASA folks and so on and did a search, for fun, of my home when not on assignment, down in the Yucatan. I typed in to Google Photos, maps, and Earth; 'Cuidad Majahual, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Mexico'. I...

Hi everyone, I'm Robert and been away awhile here on the forum, as I had been in the northwest, and down south in SA and overseas. I am back now in Las Cruces, NM for the last 2 years. Got a mail from an admin to say hello so wanted to drop in and the site looks great-- lots of new posters and...
