    12' Gecko Build

    Short wheel base and that much HP I had a quick awakening when the road was a little wet yesterday and ended up in the other lane haha. I would love to do a burn out video but I sure as shit am not Burning up my 37s they are too damn expensive. Maybe some stock take offs on the cheap would be a...

    12' Gecko Build

    Welp got about 500 miles on the new motor now and all I can say is it's a riot! 460 hp in a 2dr is an absolute blast and the 10 speed really keeps the power going well past as fast as I like to drive it. 100% the 6.2L is more power than you need but absolutely the power you want and I still...

    Satellite radio antenna

    I figured thats the cause Do you happen to know off the top of your head if there is a connection between the head unit and the antenna or do i have to fish the damn thing all the way down the B pillar to move it?

    Lug nut for Kmc wheels

    I bought some gorrila lug nuts on amazon when i got my trail readys. the stock ones were not long enough. Specifically how long you need for you KMCs im not sure i got the 1.9" ones for mine (i think stock is just shy of 1.5) They are a good brand that lots of guys here use when they go to 1...

    Satellite radio antenna

    My other jeep had the same exact roof rack but maybe the length on it is a little different on the 4dr. Idk not sure why it's really struggling while driving north in particular and of course my drive to work is due north I get to hear it maybe 20% of the drive and I'm over it. It's quite annoying

    Satellite radio antenna

    Anyone else have issues with their satellite radio connection? My 2dr really struggles to maintain signal and seems to be particularly bad while driving North for some reason. No issues with the other jeep or the truck so I feel like it's got to be something specific to the 2dr. My guess is...

    Show Off Your Guns!

    New to EDC but finally got my set up. Still getting used to appendix carry. So far really digging the 365 XL I've put almost 1000 rounds through it. Just got the red dot sighted in so no comment on that just yet but have a bunch a friends with the 507K with good reviews so figured I give it a shot.

    Rear pinion seal

    got the seal replaced. When I pulled the old seal i pulled what appeared to be pieces of the old seal spring out so i imagine thats why it was leaking. reinstalled the nut to 160 ft-lbs which linded up the marks i made prior to removing. drove it to work today with no leaks or weird noises so...

    Decreasing Height of Installed Lift

    What your asking about doing should work yes but without disconnecting the shocks your going to have to compres those springs quite a lot and it would make me nervous as hell. To each their own but a 3" ish coil will pretty much fall right out if you just disconnect the shock and sway bar link...

    Rear pinion seal

    So basically as long as I torque it back to what it was I don't have to mess with a new crush sleeve or pinion preload is what I'm gathering? I do have some torque paint from work we have that stuff all over our aircraft

    Rear pinion seal

    I think it's safe to say my rear pinion seal is finally at its end and in hind sight probably the root cause of my burnt up shaft bearing a year and half ago. Anyone got any good write ups for it? I feel like it should be as simple as removing the flange replace seal be on my way but not 100%...

    Masterpull customer service

    That's good to know. The last new line I bought was a Warn and it definitely didn't look like that out of the box. I did do the initial install under tension and when I removed it it still looked about the same. Wasn't in the mind set that it was gonna break first pull but for a $500 line I...

    2dr JK long arm setup

    As a fellow 2dr guy I'd love to see what you end up doing. Seems like the only ones I see are custom long arms with a stretch usually triangulated. I had plans to put the Evo long arm in when I did the motor swap on mine but Motech has started to pair back on non engine related mods and my...

    Masterpull customer service

    Purchased a new synthetic winch line recently decided to give masterpull a try this round and I was kinda bummed when the line showed up. It was birdcaged in about 15 spots along the line and some fairly significant. I emailed them about it and initially they mentioned it should straighten out...
