About a month ago I went to an informal mud bog to film a friend’s truck in action. Here’s a collection of some of the video clips I shot while watching everyone get muddy!

The Cliffs Insane Terrain – June 12, 2011
A small group of offroading friends gathered at The Cliffs Insane Terrain this past weekend, and had some fun breaking in a rig that had been apart for a while. It was rather wet, so there was plenty of mud to go around.
Here are some videos of the day! More videos to come, as I am still in the process of editing and exporting to YouTube.
Editing to add some more videos I managed to get uploaded to YouTube this evening!
New parts for the Jeep
Today I ordered a few things for my ’94 Jeep Wrangler! It’s currently in stock form, with upgraded tires, which means it needs at least a lift before I can take it off-road. As of this afternoon, I have a Rough Country 4″ lift-kit ordered and on its way for my Jeep.
In addition to adding some height to the Wrangler, I opted to improve traction as well. I also ordered a set of Spartan lockers for my Dana 30 and Dana 35 axles from Randy’s Ring and Pinion.
I received tracking numbers for both shipments already, so hopefully everything arrives early next week. Can’t wait to get these upgrades applied to my ride!
Out with the old, in with the new!
About a month back, I sold my 1989 Jeep Cherokee. It was fine for off-road duty, and served me well in the winter months, but I wanted something I could do more with in the future. That, and the fact it was basically a two-seater kinda sucked if I wanted to drive the kids around!
It’s taken a few late nights, and some swearing at rusty parts, but the latest acquisition is almost ready to come home! The new off-road ride here at ServerUnderground will be a 1995 Jeep Wrangler, with the 2.5L four-cylinder, 5-speed manual transmission, NP231 transfer case, and stock Dana 30 and 35 axles. I did keep the Cooper Discoverer STT 31″x10.5″ tires from the Cherokee, and have them on the Wrangler right now.
First order of business will be to get the rear brakes fixed. Right now the Wrangler only has the two front brakes working, thanks to rotted rear lines. After the brakes are done, we’ll have to address the lack of suspension lift so my tires don’t rub all over the fenders and body.
I’m looking forward to playing around with my new toy! Looking forward to warmer weather, and driving around with no top!
