Bless you guys. My mom has been going thru the hellish nightmare of Alzheimers for about 7 years now. She is in full nursing care and does not walk. She cannot speak intelligible sentences now. She is still my mom but her personality and mind are no longer part of who she is. I know exactly...

Thanks man. I see you are in the great state of Texas which is I am thinking free of road salt and calcium chloride. We get pounded with this stuff in the winter here in Wisconsin so if those bushings are still as the JK's are then corrosion is not if but when. Usually real quick.

I am a JK owner but I have a question on the JL. I know that they sell Delrin bushings for JL's but I have heard conflicting things about the current set up. I have heard that there are delrins installed, I have heard that the current bushings are similar to a JK BUT they are smaller therefore...

I have a Prorock 44 with a 35 spline ARB locker and RCV shafts I bought here in Wisconsin from a vendor. The axle has about 3000 miles of mostly street driving and the last time it was wheeled was December of 18. I know the leak is new (today) because I installed a metalcloak lift about a month...

This truly is for a friend as I am a JK guy. He currently is on 33's with a 4 .5 inch long arm lift. He is looking for some type of wheel that is bigger so he can run 35's or 315's. Beadlock would be nice but not mandatory. First off what diameter is going to work best beside a 15. He is on a...

Just talked to my parts supplier as I trashed one of my brand new slabs when the lugs flew away. He said they are discontinuing ATX Slabs so get out and grab your stuff. Anyone else hear this. What gives?

Yep I got my brand spankin new SLABS with my 37's on them and I was just about due to retorque them BUT we had to quick run out to watch the flyover at the Packers game so as I am driving I feel as if the sway bar is disconnected. I even got out to shake the front axle thinking its the unit...

I am wondering how beadlocks hold up on road. I have a great line on some ATX Slabs for my 37x13.5x17 Cooper STT pros and I am curious. I see that ATX says these are for Off Road Only and that gets me thinking. Why? I cant find any evidence of ATX Slabs exploding or falling apart as one drives...

I just got an awesome deal on my 37X13.5X17 STT Pros and I have only been running them since December but absolutely love them. Been on a few trail rides and a little more aggressive wheeling here in Wisconsin and they do great. I now am trying to figure out what beadlocks to put them on. I need...

So I have a new ProRock 44 tacked in my J/K and my mechanic told me that since Dynatrac moved the trac bar mount a little outward the JKS discos don't disco at the lower passenger side. I tried it and find interference with the bracket. I am sure I can take a grinder to the support and give ti...

So I had a mechanic that works on the side (hes a Jeep Mechanic during the day) build my D44 non rubi stock axle. He added an ARB Air locker and used Tenfactory chromoly 35 spline shafts. I drive the thing around and find no leak but I am still in the intel phase because I got a significant leak...

I just had a PR44 installed in the front of my 2013 Non rubi JK. All is well there. I had my mechanic reconfigure my rear D44 NON rubicon axle with Tenfactory chromaloy 35 spline shafts ( MG22158) and an ARB air locker 35 sp. He used a Motive Gear Master Kit (Motive Gear Dana 44 Master...

New in 2013 and just this summer at a ride. Major transformation, lots of money in that little guy and more to come.

Watched it and loved it. Very true about the remembering the tough ones but they really are the best ones. You guys have a great group. Thanks for sharing!

I have the Rugged Ridge. Not an easy install but worth it to me. I don't do much water but I do run trails where I am not the first Jeep. I love it for its looks but its function as a pre-cleaner is worth its weight in K&N filter oil.
