Episode 62 – SEMA Prep, Rare Parts and Fun
Jeff keeps talking about a new rig and needing more room in his rig for people. Thinking you need to swap everything from your truck to a old full framed cherokee. (Gotta have the cherokee love) you will get more room for people and the back is almost the same size as your bed and keeps tools out of the weather. With rear seats folded down you could sleep in it. And you can keep proving people wrong when they say your to big and won’t make it! Don’t slip into the jk trap! (Love the jk just to many of them out there) vote Jeff in a cherokee for 2016!!! Lol
FSJ/SJ (full size cherokee) would be good but I think he should go for something even more odd-ball. Options that come to mind include the Jeepster Commando (similar dimensions to an LJ), Plymouth Trail Duster (similar idea to the SJ), or possibly midsize crew cab pickup (dakota or frontier seem to be the most reasonable $ wise). I prefer the look of classic vehicles but part of that is being in california and how strict the emissions compliance is. What is more important to Jeff, interior comfort or lack of emissions requirements?

I love your trail stories. The story from a few shows ago about the Sierra Trek and then this week’s recap of the ‘Con weekend were both such great stories. I felt the adventures through my phone. Keep it up!!

Dave from Tab and Slot Episode 40
To celebrate Fabrication month High Sierra 4×4 is teaming up with Tab and Slot.com to give one lucky winner a fabrication project or their very own!
Tab and Slot.com is known for turning your designs into reality with custom CAD work using Tab and Slot design to ensure the finished product is what you envisioned. They are going to give one lucky winner their choice of fabrication project. If you own a Jeep JK you can opt to receive one of their custom Jeep JK Front or Rear bumper kits. Or if you prefer you can receive one of their custom welding tables. Either way you will have an awesome fabrication project of your very own!

Rogue Fabrication sells tube benders, Tubing Notchers, Die Sets and fabrication tools
Why should you buy a Tubing Bender from Rogue Fab? Price and performance. If you have shopped around you have seen what other manufacturers charge for die sets. Or you have seen the benders that don’t bend strong tubing and only bend to 90 degrees. Why spend over $1000 on a bender or make huge compromises in functionality when you could have bought a RogueFab bender and had all the features you need for less money?

Thursday, August 06, 2015 – Sunday, August 09, 2015
The 48th annual Sierra Trek is a Cal4Wheel event which is located in California’s beautiful Tahoe National Forest. This family oriented event is geared toward stock 4x4s on guided historic and slightly challenging tours, toward mildly modified vehicles on the Saturday Outer Limits run and off-road enthusiast on the extremely challenging Fordyce Trail.
Stock vehicles should consider signing up for the Wednesday/Thursday Overnight, the Saturday Historic Run and the Saturday Outer Limits Run.
Moderately modified vehicles will love the beauty and the challenge of the Bear Valley Loop on the Saturday Outer Limits Run.
We welcome the ATV/UTV community for a day run out of Meadow Lake on Saturday morning.
Fordyce Trail is an extremely technical and challenging trail, therefore is offered to the more modified vehicles requiring at least 35” tires and a minimum of one locker. Larger tires, two lockers and crawler gearing are all recommended to improve the overall participant experience on the Fordyce Trail runs. The surrounding area trails allow Sierra Trek to offer runs for SUV, ATV, and less modified 4×4 vehicles.
