    Fishing Jeepers...Post Up Your Pics

    Honestly reminded me of a lot of places I've fished in Idaho. We were about an hour south of mendoza. So still a bit north of Patagonia. Probably the smallest bit of water I've ever caught fish in but there was fish every little pool. Definitely a different kind of fly fishing trying to shoot...

    Ball Joint vs Kingpin vs BJ delete

    Just for apples to apples comparison that a modern ball joint (say dynatrac) and a modern kingpin (Fusion) are similar in strength and therefore the pro of little to no maintenance on a kingpin makes it more desirable? Or is there a pro to the ball joint over the kingpin that makes the...

    Ball Joint vs Kingpin vs BJ delete

    Curious on thoughts and opinions between the 3. Seems most manufacturers have stuck with the ball joint route, where Fusion went Kingpin. Researching the junkyard alxe route the BJ delete seems to a be fairly common thing to do. Just curious about the pros and cons from the people who have used...

    Rubicon Sway Bar vs EVO NO LIMITS

    or buy the no limits and sell the working motor to offset the cost. 😎 Honestly i like the no limits better than waiting for the computer to lock / unlock. just dont forget to re-connect before getting on the highway (done that a time or two) one downfall of not having a fancy button inside

    12' Gecko Build

    axles was my initial first thought as well until i went in to the shop and Kalen took me for a test ride in his L99 2dr. granted the L99 is a little lower on torque than the L86 but he was anything but easy on the skinny pedal and been running his stock D44s for years with it. I do have the...

    12' Gecko Build

    So while i anxiously await my jeep paying a visit to Motceh im trying to figure out how i want to spend my remaining budget. I have plans for them to just add the PSC pump and reservoir and ported box while everything is all torn apart it seems like a good time as any to just do that. I...

    Aluminum Radiator

    I went through a few on my 5.7 hemi jeep. Unfortunately Mopar option wasn't available to me but I finally went with a C&R. They worked with me for a while to develop a flexible upper mount that allowed a lot more flex than the other aluminum ones available for V8 swaps. I heard somewhere Motech...

    12' Gecko Build

    It was amazing. Everything I hoped it would be. I definitely would change up our first day stop because day 2 was a pretty long day making it from little sluice to rubicon springs especially not really knowing the trail. But I'm glad we spent 2 days at the springs to have a relax no wheeling day...
