    Nothing but Malls and Parking Lots.....

    I stopped before the grassy wilderness ahead...luckily. If the intensity of it makes this photo not boring enough then I will find a better location.

    She's done! .....for now... Just finished the install of the Rock Krawler 2.5 Stock Mod (w/ Bilstein 5100's, TF Bumpstops and some retainer clips)! Took about 6.5 hours and was fairly simple (other than the adjustable track bar which was a PITA by myself). Air tools definitely help for this...

    Wheel Weights on Inside

    I just had new ProComp 97 steel wheels put on this morning and driving back I got some speed related feedback (wobbles) around 40 mph. I realize (from reading other threads) that this is a tire balancing issue. I asked them to not put any weights on the exterior of the wheel (they are black...

    RK 2.5 stock mod driveshaft issues?

    I am about to pull the trigger on the 2.5 RK stock mod for my 08 jkr with auto transmission. I have seen 50% of posts that say it'll bring driveshaft issues and 50% that say no issue. Any advice/experience with this? If I do need a new driveshaft what do I actually need to replace to make it...

    Did a few more additions today...EVO Rear-D Ring Mounts and the Smittybilt SRC Oversized Tire Carrier. A couple of notes that I wanted to share: First, the frame opening on the passenger side was about an 1/8th of an inch narrower than driver and the EVO D-ring mount would not fit. It was as...
