Seems all V8 swaps I see are with automatics. Any swaps available that I can keep my 6 speed? Need the extra power when moving up to 40’s Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE

When I was trimming for 37’s I trimmed enough for 40’s Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I did, pretty strait forward. I had to make a bottoming tap to cut enough thread on the upper hole to feel that there was enough thread engagement. I would suggest a pilot 7/16 bit if your hardware store carries them, ensures an even hole. Also, once you get the fittings installed make sure (on...

When I got my JK a couple years ago I looked on Craigslist to see if anybody was selling anything interesting and there was a pair of half doors for like $1k so I picked them up. Last fall I was considering selling them to help fund a set of JKU Core doors so my wife and I can use them...

Saw this on Autotrader Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

It sounded nice, like a 335d I had. Not very loud but very distinctive. I walked behind it to see if I could hear the turbo like I could on some other diesels but I couldn’t. I peeked under at the muffler and saw what looked like a DEF tank, it looked like a prototype more than a final product...

Unfortunately I am jeepless, out here on business. I just drove to the entrance to check it out. They had them running so it was pretty obvious what they were. They look like any other JL so the few pics I got are boring. They wouldn’t pop the hood or really answer any questions so this is kinda...

I’m at the entrance to Hells Revenge in Moab and there are 4 JL diesels in the parking lot with manufacturer plates getting ready to run it. I couldn’t get a peek under the hood but they sounded nice. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Installing my Enforcer kit tomorrow and I was looking at the control arms. I know how to adjust them, I just don’t understand what jams up against the Johnny Joint to tighten it up. I know the pinch bolt secures the adjustment sleeve, but what stops the Johnny Joint from moving? Probably a dumb...

Or freakish stumps. This is what led me to a skid to begin with. They are harder to spot and are silent, you can at least hear what’s going on with rocks. I get the ‘choose better lines’ bit but a lot of our trails are on a few acres land and maybe 1/2 mile long so if you are always choosing the...

After 2 seasons of wheeling my Rockhard engine skid is crushed enough that it should be replaced soon. I do like the skid but I need to find something a little stronger. Is there anything out there a little thicker or more resistant to bowing in? Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

My lower control arm failed this weekend too [emoji21] Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Last summer I installed one of Dynatracs hard core axle sets. The front came with the hydro assist ram mount integrated into the axle housing below the track mount, directly behind the tie rod. This is lower than a lot of the other mounts I’ve seen while searching and seems like it won’t have...
