1976 Jeep CJ5. Purchased when it was a year old. After my feet went through floor boards, I decided to replace the body with fiberglass shell.

Mounted on the upper windshield mount. I made the wiring harness with a plug so I can take it apart to be able to change or work on it! I love it up here as it is out of the way but easy to use. I also wired it up so that it comes on only when the key switch is on!

New Update 1/11/2013 Getting ready to mod this to fit on my roll cage front bar now as i love during the summer to lower my front windshield.

Here is a closeup of one of the corners of my Olympic Mountaineer Rack, where I have drilled them for eyebolts. Other than having one set of arms drilled wrong for my model (which I just drilled myself), I am liking this a lot! I never get anything that ever bolts on without me having to modify it or adapt it. I am just glad I like doing stuff like that.

A friend of mine took this of me in action on some local trails after the rain.

The weather was beautiful so naturally the top went down and the doors came off. This is what owning a Jeep is alla bout!

Using the GoPro Camera On the 2011 Red Dirt Jeeps South Canadian River Run

I carry two action lockers filled with equipment and wanted a secure way to hold them in place, and something more security oriented than bungee cords. So using some copper tubing I had left over from another project, some eyebolts, wing nuts and rubber grommets, I came up with this. It really is just the first incarnation as I have plans to improve it by using some tees and making a grid to help hold even more securely and to make the unit one piece so I can just use one pad lock. I also started on my floor jack mount that will lock into place between the lockers.

Slowly the Jeeps show up for our South Canadian River Run...fellow members of The Red Dirt Jeeps

Here is a view of the overall system. it does keep the AP's in place in even the most extreme angles and in rough terrain. I am working on my floor jack mount which will fit in between the two boxes. I do use two locks on it though that will only keep honest people honest if someone really wants it!

Out playing on some of the trails by the Lake today. I like mud and deep water. Even got to smash thru some ice covered puddles. It was cold and a little breezy by the lake this morning!

...The snowfall this morning.

Just got these in the mail today from Mercenary Offroad and they rock. Not everyone's cup of tee but they will work well with my Zombie theme.

One of our meeting spots when a bunch of us our heading out for a run...as always I was the first to show up!

Last test fitting and then it is off tfor me to file and sand and then paint flat black. I know not as hi tech as some of them out there but it works for me, it was cheap and I made it!

Nothing better than taking over a eatery and having some jeep group quality time...

The shovel mount has two tabs that slide right under the footman loops on the floor and then uses one existing bolt in the striker to attach to. Works very well and rattle free. I did line the underneath side with some old conveyor belt material to help isolate it even more.

I use two locks just to keep honest people honest.

I have this attached to my winch lead on my Jeep to give me something to grab and pull when I need to unspool my line.

I picked up from a street racer friend of mine one of those fancy anodized ricer ground wire system. It is made to group all your grounds to one location for of all things, improved throttle response, smoother low and mid range torque and better combustion efficiency. I am going to completely change and mod it and use it as a central ground wire station inside the cab hidden on the passenger side up around the footwell under the dash to locate my ground wires for not just my existing accessories but for any additions that I might make in the future. Anyone who has ever worked on a Jeep because of bad grounds will know why I am going this route. So when I get in the shop tomorrow, I will be hacking, drilling and welding up the mods for this. I will keep you all posted on the build!

This is a closeup wher the shovel mount bolts to the side wall in the back. I mounted it underneath the striker so that it gave me enough room to be able to open up my Tuffy underseat box.

Another view of it and before sanding and washing it down. Did several coats of Matte Black and it contrasts nicely with the original slate interior.

I just got my new dash panels from the 12 Volt Guy and let me say, his stuff rocks. Photos just don't do justice to the care and quality he puts in his panels. And he will custom build them for you! The one in front is my In Cab Winch Control and the one behind it is the panel to control my electric lockers. Once again outstanding workmanship!!!

Used my Dremel to remove the rest of the factory switch panel and cigarette lighter and of course the ashtray. Used the new snap in twist on cutting wheels and I must say I am impressed with it! Cut thru the plastic like butter without a lot of melted build up. Of course finding the right RPM helps too.
