    Genright rear bumper installed

    I ditched the overly heavy ACE rear bumper and tire carrier for the EVO hinged tire carrier and factory hitch. I couldn't get used to the bumper-less look, so I went with a gen right aluminum rear bumper. It's a piece of art and weighs 19 pounds. The tow points are probably another 10, so all...

    EVO bolt on coilovers VS plushride + King 2.5 adj VS. Front coil overs only?

    I'm just not happy with how the Fox 2.0 IPF shocks are working with the EVO 3" plushrides that I recently installed. I can't put my finger on it, but I don't like the dampening. I get a lot of roll when quickly transitioning left to right, and wallow when running over undulating pavement. I'm...

    Towing camping trailers

    In 2016 they upped the 2dr 3.73 and 4.10 models to 3,500 pounds, but there's a 25 square foot frontal area limitation too. 4 Doors limited to 32sq/ft.

    Towing camping trailers

    It's the wheelbase that limits your towing, which is why 2000 pounds is the max for a 2dr. I'd look into pop ups or a small a-frame.

    Towing camping trailers

    After looking at pop ups, A-frames, and small travel trailers, we settled on a fiberglass trailer. I researched for a few years before deciding on our Casita 17'. It has a full bathroom, A/C, heat (110v and propane), hot water (110v or propane),, kitchen, bunk beds, and dinette that turns into...

    Evo plush rides + Fox 2.0 IFP's = wallowy ride w/ "head toss"

    I've swapped out my rock krawler 2.5 springs for Evo 3" plush rides. I wanted another inch of lift and the rears were saggy. With the added lift, I swapped out the my shorter Fox 2.0 IPF's for the longer 4-6" lift versions and did the EVO drag link flip. The height and travel is right, but my...

    Any reason to keep stock front driveshaft after removing it?

    So I put in an Adams 1350 front driveshaft. I have a bad habit of throwing away stuff that I regretted (stock track bar for example), but is there any use in hell for the stock front driveshaft? I can't imagine using it as a trail spare because I'm not going to be able to swap the ends at the...

    EVO spec king 2.5- adjustor or not?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on the evo spec king 2.5's after finding out I'll have to buy longer rear shocks anyway. I'm trying to figure out if the adjuster is worth another $400? Anyone have experience with both? Not having it saves money, 4 less things to fiddle with, and with snow and...

    How to measure for rear sway bar links?

    Now that I have 4" of lift in the back- how do I measure for longer rear links? Is the sway bar supposed to be horizontal at rest?

    Holy crap- do EVO springs "settle in"? 3" plush ride netted 5" over my RK 2.5" kit.

    Holy crap- do EVO springs "settle in"? 3" plush ride netted 5" over my RK 2.5" kit. I just got the front 3" plush rides installed that are replacing rock crawler 2.5's. I also put in a 1/2" spacer on top, hoping for an inch over what I had. Instead I'm up 5" over what it was sitting at...

    Where to find double threaded "link" for sway bar. 1/2-20 thread and 3.5" long?

    Where to find double threaded "link" for sway bar. 1/2-20 thread and 3.5" long? With the drag link flip installed, now my rock krawler sway bar links are 3.5" too long. Since I had to drill out the sway bar for the 1/2" bolts, I can't go back to stock. I took them apart and the center link...

    Can someone measure a stock front track bar eye-to-eye?

    I'm installing my drag link flip and want to see if I can get the rock krawler track bar down to the stock length. Anyone have a measurement?

    prepping drag flip bracket for welding before install?

    I'm going to install the EVO drag link flip kit next week. I'm wondering if I should wire brush the mounting surfaces on the bracket and axle down to bare metal before the install so I can weld some bead on there. Or do you bolt it on, then hit it with a wire brush to weld? My grinder and...

    Steering assist: Redneck ram vs PSC

    Since my bent my drag link from playing in the rocks and I had not enough steering power, I'm looking at a ram assist to help out. Especially since I'll be going to 37's in the future. Should I get a redneck ram and have them port my steering box, or go with a full PSC system? Obviously...

    Drag link bent and I want more lift- time for the flip then? 3" vs 4"?

    So I dropped my rig off at the local shop to get 4.88's and C-gussets welded in. I mentioned that my jeep isn't doing well on the highway and I noticed it's now pulling to the left. He took a quick look under and showed me that my drag link is bent. It's not from a rock hit, he thinks from...

    Drag flip and/or track bar bracket on 2.75" measured lift?

    I have exactly 2.75" lift over the factory measurement diagram that's floating around. I have a rock crawler adj track bar with axle centered and 5 deg castor. Should I be looking into a drag flip or track bar relocation? Will either steady out the highway steering? She's a little flighty...

    FML, moving to Miami

    Well being that my wife and I are both active duty military, I should not be surprised, but I'm retiring this summer and she got verbal orders to SOUTHCOM in Miami. At least I won't be cold, but damn. What do I do with my jeep? I guess I can run it topless and doorless and use it as a poser...

    Quick advice- re-use the RK coil spring wedges?

    I'm installing the teraflex rear 1" coil spacers to bring up the rear. I currently have the rock krawler coil wedges in there. I'm thinking about running without them so I have more of the perch in the spring. Does it matter? Finally, the correct rear coil spring orientation- does the little...
