    Does anyone wheel their 2.0L etorque JLUR?

    For those that do, I am sharing some advice. I have been wheeling my 18 JLUR since Feb of 19. For the most part, the the exhaust has been mostly unscathed. I saw a dent in the muffler, cannot say when exactly; but shaking the tailpipe I could tell muffler was secured. Well, at sometime...

    Left side front axle shaft JLUR

    Does anyone have a spare left front axle for JL Rubicon? I ordered RCV's (plan 'A') and they may not be in before I leave for Moab on Sep 18. I have already been in contact with Bubba (plan 'B'), and he says he can probably hook me up. This thread is merely plan 'C'.

    JL wheels

    I have been using for past year and a half, inexpensive aluminum wheels. I love the KMC beadlock wheels, but did not want to add all of that weight. The aluminum rims have held up just fine and taken quite a beating.

    Replacing ball joints on 18 JLUR...

    I replaced all four ball joints with Spicer steel replacements. As some of you know, there is a collar on top for both sides. On driver side, when disassembled, collar will easily slide in and out of spindle. However, after pressing in bj's, putting spindle on and pre loading bj's, the collar...

    Will fluid leak on FAD if...?

    My RCV axles will not be in for two weeks. I broke left front joint when my ball joints failed. I am replacing all ball joints tomorrow. Can I simply pull out axle and drive the vehicle without fluid loss? JLUR with FAD.

    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    Evidently you do. 😂 Maps and good sense of direction have been used for thousands of years. GPS’ have only been available for consumers since the 90’s. And people have become increasingly worthless since.

    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    I just use my phone. I don't need a GPS. IMO, they make you stupid. I have been reading paper maps since I was a kid. If Im going somewhere out of state in a particular area...I buy a good map like a Thomas Guide, for that area. And to Eddie's point....it is simply evolution man. Nothing...

    What's in your Jeep tool kit?

    I follow the philosophy of...'better to have and not need than need and not have'. I pack most the heavy things so that they are as low in vehicle as possible. Bags go on rear floor in front of back seat and impact tools and bank bags go under back seat. The Bartact bags and seat covers are...

    Monument Valley

    Some of you may be aware that all the Navajo lands are currently closed due to the Covid. We were planning to drive down there one day when we are in Moab. Chances are high, they will still be closed in Septemeber. Do any of you know, if you can see the valley from outside the reservation? I...

    Rusty's oile pane-trans skid.

    364 views and no comments...interesting. Anyway, pan holds up very well. Takes a beating. Only problem is the two bolts that bolt to the crossmember. They do come with aluminum counter sunk washers so that bolt heads are flush. However as predicted those washers cannot protect from rock rub...

    Synergy F Track bar and sector shaft brace

    Not including people paid to put on and test, has anyone with JL installed this product and found it to be the miraculous fix advertised? I know I am coming off sarcastic, but all the vids I have seen are from places whom I think receive products for free or are paid by the Manuf. That's...

    Rusty's oile pane-trans skid.

    Hi folks, I imagine many of you are going apeshit not being able to wheel. Fortunately I am privileged to have a place I can wheel through all this non sense. I was able to hang with a group of 5 purpose built crawlers through a sick black trail last weekend. These guys don't care if they...

    JL soft top without a track system

    Hi folks, I am looking to remove my oem soft top with the track and guides, and have a simple soft top than can be removed and installed simply. From what I am seeing for JL, manufacturers are only selling these JL soft tops with track systems. Seems like they are targeting hard top owners who...
