    Lost a front axle seal- now what.

    I lost my passenger front axle seal, she's dripping gear lube and making a daily puddle. I did some research and the diff and axles have to come out. Can I pop the carrier out myself and put it all back without re-setting it all up again? Or does backlash have to be redone? Do I need a diff...

    Who was in the Florida Keys May 22nd with a "WAYALIFE" windshield sticker?

    Who was in the Florida Keys APRIL 22nd with a "WAYALIFE" windshield sticker? Black jeep, WAYALIFE windshield banner, southbound on US-1, and no "jeep wave" back. :sigh:

    Purejeep. Not responding?

    I ordered a bolt on winch guard 2 weeks ago. No order status. No replies to emails. Thankfully, no charge to my credit card. But dang, wonder if they're still in business?

    Our member jku007fl trash talking on JKO

    I just got a ping on an old thread I was subscribed to over at the JK forum. Our new pal, jku007fl, had some nice things to say after he just joined up over there. He's had lots of contribution here... https://wayalife.com/member.php/36306-JKU007FL Hey, jku007fl, how about a "wave" from...

    Rock hard sport bar without dash bar?

    I installed the cage in prep for my fall Moab trip but I’m not getting used to the dash bar in my view. My seat used to be 2 pumps up from bottom, but now it’s jacked up 8 or more. I miss the awesome view of my 10th anniversary hood too. It’s fairly easy to remove and I figure I can put it...

    Upgraded PSC steering lines

    Today's project was to fix my leaks due to a too-short of a return line going under the air box. Since I had to drain the system, I decided to install the PSC upgraded pressure line. I also took off the 2 lines to the ram and had a hydraulic shop make new lines out of a more heavy duty hose...

    ATX beadlocks- scotch brite or sanding to knock down the "shine"?

    So in my infinite wisdom, I clear coated the bead locks before install. Now months later, they're still very shiny in the places that don't have rock rash. I'm thinking about scotch brite pads, or maybe even a sanding disc on a palm sander to knock off the clear coat and try to get them to a...

    PIAA Fogs installed on EVO quarter pounder

    After lots of thinking about how to incorporate fog lights onto the EVO quarter pounder, I ordered the EVO light bracket and some PIAA LED amber fogs. I really didn't care for the look (first photo) and they stuck out pretty far. Since everything is better when you drill holes in it, I moved...

    Options for 2" wrenches for evo control arms?

    I installed with a pipe wrench, but that's not ideal. Even my 15" adjustable wrenches don't open to 2". Curious that the jam nuts on the johnny joints on the EVO carrier use a smaller 1 13/16" which my wrench opens up to. The lower front arms are 2". I scoured amazon, but I can't find...

    Quick, before I drill, how does this evo corner look?

    I been fighting with it and everything looks good except from the back, the edge isn't straight along the vertical tailgate line. I can't suck in the lower side anymore. It's flush about 6" up, but at the bottom is a gap. Good to go to drill it in?

    Evo tire carrier mounting strategies- what's the best?

    I've read all the threads so far on the carrier install as well as Evo's instructions, and there are multiple ways of doing this. I'm doing the install this week, solo, so I'm hoping for the best advice for a trouble/rattle free install. The first step is mount the upper driver's bracket- got...

    EVO body mount carrier license plate/3rd brake light questions

    Of course after I got my evo hinged tire carrier set up perfectly, I'm going to switch to the body mounted carrier. What's the best set up for a plate mount, light, and 3rd brake light? I currently have an AEV 3rd brake light peeking through the wheel and a JKS plate mount with built in...

    Is the JL suspension different?

    I haven't found anything yet on the web. Has anyone figured out if the suspension is the same or different from a JK? Wondering if the suspension market will have to change, or if the tried and true systems on the market will bolt in.

    evo 1/4 pounder measurement request

    Can someone with the evo 1/4 pounder measure from the front of their grill to the most forward part of the bumper (d-ring mount)? Not counting the stinger. I'm trying to see if swapping out my poison spyder brawler to a 1/4 pounder aluminum might save me a few precious inches in the garage.

    Tailgate wouldn't open- problem solved

    So my tail gate decided to stop working. It took some work, but I figured out how to manually trigger the release from inside the tail gate and removed the latch. The little screw backed out and disconnected the mechanism. Some blue loctite and good as new. Thought I'd throw this out there...

    How'd I dent my body above rear bumper?

    I found this really nice ding in the body and I can't figure out how I got it. The rear bumper took some hard hits out in Moab, but it looks like the frame maybe hit the body? The top of the bumper is bent up too. Maybe the frame rail hit the pinch seam? Can it flex that much? Strange....

    Any reason to keep a bent flange stock axle shaft?

    So I replaced my axle shafts today with Revolution Gear replacements. The drivers side was pretty bent, with wheel wobble and brake noise. Any reason to keep it as a trail spare? I guess if a rubicon ever snapped a shaft, it's better than a broken one, but I'm limited on storage in the garage...

    Brake pads- put em dry or anti-squeal goop? Grease the springs or leave 'em dry?

    Yes I read eddie's write up. I'm waiting on the Fedex truck to bring my new dynatrac rear pads and everything is cleaned up. For the last 25 years I've been doing brakes, I've always used the orange CRC disk brake quiet goop on the backs of the pads and used silicone brake grease on the pins...
