EVO Lower Control Arms are in! Before: After: Much mo betta! Also installed a new set of Synergy Trackbar bushings. For some reason, the old bushings wore out in 11,000mi. They were replaced under warranty, however, a bit of a pain in the ass.

Got a handful of things on my list done today. * Both diffs got inspected and serviced with 85w140 Royal Purple. Everything looked great with no metal flakes or chips in the oil. * sPod went in along with the OTRATTW switches. For anyone needing custom switches, Jim at OTRATTW is great and...

Time for a busy day in the garage! * 500mi gear inspection and fluid change * Reinstall front driveshaft - J.E. Reel 1350 (was out for vibration troubleshooting) * sPod install with OTRATTW switches * Rigid Diffused Dually install on tire carrier mast * Warn Power Interupter *Degrease front...

Just picked up the Jeep from ORE this afternoon after having them install 5.13s and a J.E. Reel 1350 front drive shaft with new yokes. Starting at about 50, I am getting a faint, high frequency, oscillating vibration/hum. It is worst at about 55 and slowly fades as speed increases but does not...

The family and I are planning a road trip to Seattle from San Francisco in April for Spring Break. While we are going to be seeing some family in Seattle, the vacation will be more about the journey than the destination. :) Does anyone have any recommendations for us to see along the way? I'd...

Getting regeared next week to 5.13s in my Rubi axles. Running 37" tires and will do a lot of highway driving on the hilly highways in CA. Should I be running 75w90 or 85w140. Drew at ORE says the heavier weight is what they run and I'm in agreement based on my driving. However, just curious...

So I was all set to build my own relay/fuse box next week thanks to a couple of great write ups here on WAL, however, I got to looking at the current draws and I am second guessing that decision. For starters, here are the accessories I plan on running and their associated amperage: * 2 x...

Anyone have any experience with their lights? Specially looking at the 6CUBE lights. They run about 60% the cost of Rigid D2s. Seem like they could be a great option. Any thoughts would be appreciated! ERAU

Now that's good advice right there! :)

Can I just come wheel with you and pay you an "upfront rental fee" to be able to use something out of your kit if necessary?! :D:D All kidding aside, great list!

Can anyone recommend a good winch solenoid? My Warn 9.5 is currently wired directly to the battery and I'd really like the option to switch off the always hot power wire. Thanks!

Today I tackled the fit of the new Slab on the AEV Tire Carrier. With the Fuel Caddy, the closest I could get the tire to the carrier tubing was about 1". While the flange is able to hold the weight of the tire/wheel assembly, the tire not being sucked up to the tire carrier tubing would lead to...

I recently made the jump to 37" tires on my '14 JKUR and am trying to understand all of the hydro assist options. I spoke with PSC and they recommend the kit where I send in my steering gear and they send it back along with a new pump, ram, hoses, reservoir, etc. Cost for this kit is roughly...

Hi all! Just made the jump to 37" Nittos and, as expected, the 4.10s aren't going to cut it. I've spoken with Drew down at ORE and I'm planning on getting regeared to 5.13s in the very near future. While I'm at it, I think it would be worth it to replace my front driveshaft so the yoke can...

I had posted a few comments about my backup camera installation in another thread and a few members asked for a write up. Over the weekend, I had to relocate my camera from the spare to the bumper and thought it would be a great opportunity to snap a few pictures and create this little write up...

I'm running the same setup as BigLex and am very happy. When not in use, I just tuck the handheld pigtail under the dash and stow the handheld itself in the glovebox. I've only used the CB once on the trail and it worked as advertised. :)

So I finally sold my wheel and tire combo and will be pulling them off the Jeep this afternoon. I ordered my 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers from Discount Tire Direct and they should be here beginning of next week. However, the Slabs are a different story. Pretty much all of the usual suspects are 3-5...

So I have finally sold my current wheel/tire setup and am ordering ATX Slab wheels along with 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers. Looking at the arrangement on the fuel caddy, I'm not sure if the 3.5" backspacing will work well with the fuel caddy. By chance is anyone running this setup? I'm thinking I...

I really hope you got as much of a laugh out of this as I just did! :) I doubt you did any harm to anything. When I spooled my winch, I did what you intended to do using the weight of the vehicle and brakes to tension the line onto the drum. If you want peace of mind, it wouldn't hurt to...
