    Can someone with the evo body mount tire rack measure from the tailgate (next to handle) to the outer tubing? Need to see if it’ll work with my garage situation. I currently have to touch the spare to the work bench against rear wall and I have 1.5” clearance to garage door. Sent from my...

    Rear brakes squeak when hitting bumps?

    I've narrowed down my rear squeak to what I think are the rear brakes. Dynatrac progrip. I have speed bumps in my new neighborhood, so I've had time to try this out. The rear has a loud squeak from both sides on the rear axle when hitting an abrupt bump (speed bump). If I drag the brakes...

    how do you carry fluids (antifreeze/oil/gear lube) on the trail?

    Prepping for Moab and trying to figure the best way to carry a couple gallons of antifreeze, a few quarts of engine oil, steering fluid, and gear lube. I bought one of those black boxes with the yellow lids, but it's a little too short for the gallon bottles so they have to lay on their side...

    PSC hydro steering installed

    After 6 months of researching, I pulled the trigger on the PSC hydraulic ram steering for my 2015 wrangler. Here are some pics and my install notes. I had an EVO drag link flip, and learned that the bracket won't work with the steering ram, so it was removed it. I had the stock track bar...

    Turning my JK into a boat. Snorkel or other water proofing ideas?

    Well now that I'm officially transplanted to Ft. Lauderdale/Miami and found a jeep club, it looks like I need to prep for bottomless mud and deep, deep water. I've already extended my axle breathers, but they said I need to to the trans and x-fer case, and not only extend them, but put a couple...

    PSC steering box- easier to buy a new pitman arm instead of pulling old one off?

    In preparation for the PSC steering system install I was researching pitman arm pullers and reading about the difficulties in removing the arm. A new crown pitman arm is $31.99. Would it be better to just buy a new arm for the box?

    how do the EVO lower control arms hold their length?

    I'm stuck between the Currie and EVO front lower arms. I like that the Evo's can be adjusted on the jeep, but I'm not sure how they hold their adjusted length? Is the inside of the control arm smooth, and clamps to the threaded johnny joint? That seems like it could slip. The currie is a...

    How much taller does the premium soft top sit compared to hard top?

    Anyone know? I didn't measure mine before swapping and my garage door is pretty darn close to the hard top. Because I'm in Miami now, the hurricane proof garage door has menacing floor anchors that stick down, and the floor slab is raised for water proof-ness. I did get the upper limit switch...

    Any ideas how to tow a JK 5000 miles for not so much money? Might be Moab bound.

    My jeep group is heading to Moab in October. I'll be in Miami at that point. It's 2500 miles each way. I'm wondering if there any options to rent a truck and trailer that won't cost me $4000k (Penske, Ryder, Uhaul all charge by the mile, or $2k each way for a one way move). Or am I stuck...

    Front "spotter" camera mounting location?

    My Pioneer 8200 NEX head unit can take a second camera input, I'm interested in running a front "spotter" cam. Why? Well why not? We run with spotters, but sometimes it would be nice to actually see what the front tires are doing. Has anyone done this? Is it worthwhile? Where do you mount...

    Short video of chaos off-road park West Virginia

    A few of us Virginia folks hit up chaos off-road park in West Virginia yesterday. It was raining for 3 days prior so pretty slippery. It's fun to see how a double throw down 40" jeep and a rock bounder buggy handle the terrain too. Sorry, no music and I did all the filming so not much of my...
