I'm not so sure about all the gears being made in Korea.

They did a great job on mine. You should know that they only replace bearings or seals if they are needed and you do not get the factory gears back. I've put about 800 miles on mine since they were changed a couple of weeks ago. Plan on trailering or taking your time driving home if you have...

I ended up breaking a factory rear lower control arm and replaced both upper and lower arms on the rear. When I took the arms off the factory bushings looked like crap. The system flexes too much for weak factory arms. Plan on upgrading all of your control arms sooner than later or just go...

I think its important to remember that in high range there is no gear reduction in the transfer case. It is 1 to 1. No different than running out of the transmission directly into the differential in a 2 wd. The job of the transfer case is to redirect power to the front axle. Along the way...

I sold my YJ today. We went a lot of hard miles together. She ran the Rubicon and Dusy Ershim. A sad day indeed, but now I can focus on building Al (aka albino lizard). Goodbye.

Anybody have any experience with Bilstein 9100 series coilovers? I'm weighing my options right now and would prefer to buy coilovers once. I know king makes a good product, but I really don't like that they are made in China. Thanks in advance for the input. Edit, my trusted source is...

Its a good welder, but I do not suggest purchasing from Lowes. The manufacturers strip their models down or use some cheaper parts so the product will hit a certain price point. Go to a welding supply store. They will get you into the right product. It will likely be a little more expensive...

Lincoln Power mig 180 dual. Nice welder you can use inner shield, gas, or a spool gun. Also runs on 110 or 220 power. It comes with the pressure regulator and everything you need to do some serious welding. My best purchase by far.

Here are my pennies. I have a smittybilt xrc 8 winch. It has pulled me out of lots of jambs. I dont do mud. Mostly because i hate cleaning up. If you arent using the badland winch on a tow truck, it will probably be just fine. Is it top of the line. Hell no, but you just need to get...

They have been given away. Thanks.

It was a dumb move, but I dropped part of my hard top square on my head. All because I'm sure that I can build a better overhead mount for a CB than a team of engineers. Yeah it hurt and I was bleeding, but more importantly no one saw. Tell us about the price you paid to make your jeep better.

Fuses for your application Glow sticks (chem light) Radiator hoses 8 lb sledge hammer (handle cut off at 18"). It fixes everything. Fuel pump Extra lug nuts Rtv silicone Window cleaner Extra battery (welding/camp lighting) Inverter Welding setup and rod 1/4" x 1" flat steel bars.

Thanks for the help, lay off the sauce.

I like these. They are way cheaper than the action packers and work great. I have a tendency to overload too!😀

I don't think so. My buddy always arranges the rental. It gets shipped to your house with return packaging.

I forgot to mention the rental comes with a spot. Really cool product.

You can get a california campfire permit on line. The usfs, blm, and cal fire have a joint program. Complete the course and print.

I usually rent a satellite phone for multi day trips. The Rubicon is well traveled and there is usually someone around to help, but with a sat phone a helicopter ride to the hospital is only a phone call away. Cost is around $100 for a week with unlimited talk time. They have some...

I also bought an hei distributor which really helped because the factory ignition module was pretty complicated. If you get the kit and have any problems let me know. It takes the better part of 2 days to install and you will need to be very familiar with the wiring diagram for your model jeep.
