Greetings AZKJ Great photos of the boondocks. I have a few questions for ya... How was Smoky Mountain Road? I've always wanted to drive it since it looks like it heads up into the serious boonies. My college roommate and I almost drove it some years back but got talked out of it by someone...

HA! You have to be a good writer to write that badly. For some reason, Warren Zevon's "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" is running through my head.

Most impressive rainbow shots. The D200 is a wonderful machine, isnt it? The moon shots are good, too. Full moon rule of thumb: shoot at f8 with a shutter speed of 1/ISO. That is, if your ISO is set to 400, bracket between 1/250 and 1/500. "There is no dark side of the moon, really...as a...

My wife and I drove our Liberty out to Utah and Colorado in May and had a blast with it. Nothing too crazy since neither of us had done much off-roading before. A lot of our driving was done on well-graded dirt roads (Notom-Bullfrog Road, Burr Trail, Cottonwood Canyon) and we did a few trails...

Yet more imagery from the Great Western Expedition of '07... Our Jeep got to travel on the Shafer Trail in Canyonlands National Park not once, not twice, but three times. My wife drove down the trail the first full day we were in Moab, and then the next morning I got up at O-dark-thirty...

Here's a closeup of the tire from the original file...Can't tell much.

Greetings all. Yet more imagery from the Great Western Expedition of '07. The wife and I pose with our Liberty at Hurrah Pass, just southwest of Moab. At the end of the road at Chicken Corners. Here my wife tries to get back into the Liberty for her turn at the wheel. (You can't...

Greetings all. While showing my pass to the friendly seasonal park ranger at the entrance station at Arches National Park last month, I glanced over to the employee housing area near the station and saw a Liberty decked out in full NPS regalia. The ranger at the entrance station said that the...

We just got back this past weekend from Utah and Colorado. Our best mileage was on the way back to the Buckeye State, cruising along I-70, getting about 21 mpg. Our worst mileage (other than when we were tooling around Moab) was on the way west through Iowa and Nebraska, fighting a stiff...

Greetings all... My wife and I are heading to Monument Valley in about 3 weeks. We're driving from Ohio to Moab, then plan to wander around Utah for a week before meeting my college roommate and his wife in Durango for a few days of cruising through the San Juans. Monument Valley is GREAT...

My dad was in the Navy during WW2...he always preferred either "port" or "starboard" instead of left and right.

OK, this may seem like a dumb question, but here goes...do you have your rear wipers turned on, or at least set on "delay"? I have a 2006 KJ, and the rear door won't open if the rear wiper is left on. Even if it isn't turned on, might it be possible that the door thinks the wipers are on and...

A Glock? Heck, if I were to arm my Jeep, I'd go for the pintle-mount .50 caliber. Unfortunately, they appear to be illegal in Ohio. "Happiness is a belt-fed weapon."

I suppose popping an umbrella through it is out of the question? :-k

Thanks for the suggestions, gang. The wife and I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the best way to keep somebody from snatching the Jeep from a crappy part of Cleveland (redundant, I know) is to not let her drive it down there in the first place, with the second best idea of polishing...
