New Jeep Day!

Bought this mud bogger today, 1997 TJ 4.0L, was suppose to get it 2 weeks ago but because of some unfortunate events i could'nt clear it.. so i had to wait a bit.

One of the most enjoyable vehicule i've ever bought.... close tie with the MK3 GTI i had when younger... but the purpose is completely different for this one.





I bought it from my buddy who have a silkscreening shop, made me a killer deal to be honest.

Truck came with the hard top, soft top, hard and soft half doors, upper soft doors, 10Kpound winch (not installed yet), the 4 OEM alloy wheels with almost new winter tires.

Will be my daily driver for this winter, but i'll probably get a car in spring.... gas price is quite outrageous in Quebec (probably everywhere in CAN too  )

After that it will become my offroad duty only vehicules, instead of getting a new ATV to get at my moose hunting camp... it's the same size than a side-by-side after all.

Now i need a GoPro!

Very nice! I love these proper 4x4s and not the poncey ones they use for school runs here! Great colour too!

Looks really nice! Now you need to mount a GoPro and make some awesome mud-slinging videos.

Thursday with my bud who owns that garage in wich i brought the Jeep in for a mechanical check in we're going for a hill climb/mud trip in hydro-electric lines in the bush... he have a GoPro...might take advantage of that until i buy one, hopefully we'll get some nice footage.

We don't have a big enough deer population up here to allow hunting but we have loads of moose, the favored big game hunting in our area. Hunting season is open for 2 weeks, so we build some nice camps, ours is almost a cottage, near the lake, so we use it almost all year long. Now that i'm back in my hometown and that i now have a offroad machine i'll hang a bit more up there.

Nice ride there... lotsa fun in da mud to be had!
If you're looking for a cheap but surprisingly good alternative to gopro you might wanna check out this http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/6/9/sj1000-at-lasta-good-cheap-action-camera.html
I got that, it comes with a bunch of accessories and waterproof case for something like $ 100 US. Although maybe not quite as thought through as gopro much cheaper if you want to save some dosh.
I used mine for a bit now and recorded even an amp demo with it which a number of people found decent quality and good enough sounding considering the tiny thing it is.
Here the video in case you haven't seen it:

My God. You just had to bring that up again. Sweeet Jeebus I love that toan.

Sorry I don't wanna spam stuff around it's just that this is recorded with that little action camera I recommended.
I'm pleased with that camera and did also use it for underwater footage and things; I think it's a great deal.
Glad you like the toan though...

Hahaha, i did'nt knew that! When i was in high school i was dreaming of getting a CJ-5... totally love the fact that these toys are completely rebuildable and that you can mod them to infinite.... i guess the name will apply to me in a intense manner....

No gut shot?  How's it sound?

Sound rather good for being all stock, there's a bit of flik-flik-flik-flik-flik coming from the tires when running it loud on asphalt... but when in mellow land it's super lush sounding... got a leslie vibe to it

Couple years ago i was a lot into ATV modding for mud bogging, i was building snorkel kits and clutch modification for other folks.... gut shot will come in time.

Damn Fawk!!!!! That amp sound incredible... you did a build report thread of it in the Amp section right?

That VU tube is just killer, you get me by the feelings here Cooder!
