Meet B.O.B.
Jeep’n about in B.O.B. (AKA: Bucket of Bolts), searching for new adventures.
A dude & a Jeep
I’m just a dude who really digs Jeeps and outdoor adventures.
I have taken countless photos over the years of my adventures ranging from rocking climbing, white water canoeing, backpacking, mountain biking, etc…
But by far my favorite and most enduring favorite activity is hanging with the wife, dogs and Jeep’n. Whether it’s just a drive through our little town for a bite to eat or some place that takes us off the beaten path for a new adventure… being in a Jeep makes it all so much more fun!
So I decided to build this website to keep track of photos, videos, and short stories about some of my favorite memories.
When I first got my Jeep I promised myself that I would not upgrade any parts unless it wore out or I broke something.
There were a few things I didn’t wait too long to add to my Jeep, such as a net system to keep the dogs in, a set of bumpers and a lift kit that I recently install. But other than that – the Jeep has remained stock for many years.
Over the years I’ve also done quite a bit of research to find tips, specs, and how to videos, to get the most out of my Jeep… resources I’ve found useful. Hopefully someone else will find them useful as well.

Windshield Fluid Reservoir Seal
So a few days ago I noticed some rust around the edge of my windshield fluid reservoir, caused by fluid sloshing out of the reservoir. After popping the cap I noticed the seal had shifted and appeared to have shrunk as well. I tried finding a replacement cap online, but none come with a seal […]
