Been a while since Ive posted here so hello to everyone again. Has anyone had any issue with rancho’s warranty? I bought the 2 inch progressive kit with 9000 shocks and decided I don’t really like any of it. I called warranty asking to return the kit or even just the shocks based on their 90 day...

Hey guys, been a while but I’m back with more questions. Going over moderate bumps causes my tailgate hinge pins to shift in their respective hinges, causing a loud bang/rattle under the weight of even the stock spare tire. I know this because when I lift up on the spare I can actually see the...

To participate in the jeep dealership reviews, I would like to add my experiences in southeast Michigan. For anyone in the Detroit metro area, I would NOT recommend the above mentioned dealer. Back in 2014 I developed the death wobble in my 2010 2-door. As cosigners to the Jeep, my grandparents...

Has anyone had any rusting issues with their gas tank skids? My jeep was up on the lift the other day and while I try my best to pressure wash as much mud off as possible, I found there to be a nice layer between the tank and the skid. I'm sure it's been there for a very long time as well, and...

This definitely makes sense but GraniteCrystal mentions there was no momentum used so I'm assuming this was not a snatch style recovery. That said I feel like towing like this could put more stress on the brake in the winch. Any other reasons? Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I was under the impression that a winch should only be used as a winch and not as a tow/recovery strap. Interested to hear what people have to say as well. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Years ago I found project-JK in high school while I still had my XJ. The videos got me hooked and I was dying for a wrangler. Eventually stumbled my way over to the forum and found a butt load of awesome knowledge but didn't join until I bought my JK. I've seen the other forums but none of them...

Here are 2 shots of the setup. The bumper consists of a slab of 1/4 inch steel bent for 1 inch of overlay at the top and 2 on bottom. I reused the factory tow hooks until such time I can buy D ring mounts. The bumper is spaced out 1 inch from the frame, and the winch plate was placed as far...

Has anyone relocated there winch control boxes to under the hood somewhere? If so, did you make up something on your own or did you buy some sort of kit? I currently have mine mounted on the M8000 in the standard position and I don't like it because it makes contact with the bottom of the grill.

Really happy to hear this, probably gonna buy the pros as my next set [emoji106]🏻

Must be nice getting good mpg AND having fun on the trails!

Yes the VR series has parts from China but if I remember correctly the M8000 is 100% made in USA. I have it on my two door so it's plenty strong enough, however you could get away with it on a JKU especially if you use some snatch blocks. That said, a higher load rating warn would have an easier...

Here's my 2010 JK sport, only upgrades are 285/70/17 Nittos, stubby front bumper kit and KC lights. Hoping to really get my build soon this spring/summer!

That is, if you even want it back in. Things are easier to clean without the carpet.
