I bought a cool little camper (Casita 17) and it tows great. But, despite only weighing 2500 empty (3000 loaded) they're known for having nearly 400lbs of tongue weight, plus my ace bumper is like 160, add in the 35" spare, high lift, etc and it sags about 1.5" with the trailer on. I'm running...

I had the fab shop replace the B.S. bolt on Rockcrawler rear trac bar bracket with a weld on Artec one. http://www.artecindustries.com/JK-Rear-Tracbar-Bracket_p_348.html Now I have 4 different height options for the rear trac bar. Can anyone explain what I'm looking for as to the angle of the...

I've read countless threads. Before I pull the trigger, I want to make sure 4.88's are what I should get instead of 5.13 or 4.56. I have a 3.6 Rubicon with 4.10s Currently running "35's" with actually measure 33.75" It's my daily driver, my highway cruise is 72-73mph on GPS (currently at...

All this talk lately of bump stops has me thinking. I know that can be scary. I have a rock crawler 2.5" and a heavy jeep (skids/sliders/bumpers/hardtop). The place that sold me my lift also included teraflex bump stops. I think they're 2" rear and 2.25" front. Anyways, I only have about an...

So I survived 3 days of the Vermont Overland Rally doing every red and blue class 4 road I could find. The jeep did great, but at the general store getting beer, another driver noticed a hose dangling from my Jeep. It was the axle vent fitting- pulled right out of the tube. I got it to pop...

My little sister just bought a 2010 JK sport with the intent of running 315's. All my research has been on JKUs. They're on a budget, so for about $1000, what would you run for a modest 2-3" lift? It'll mostly be a street jeep but she wants to play on the local trails too. There are way too...

5,600 miles on my jeep. Front cover is leaking at the bottom making a hand sized puddle overnight. Did I hit it on a rock? Probably, but no obvious scrapes or gouges. I have an appointment with dealer tomorrow. Now I'm worried that if they don't cover it on warranty it's going to cost me...

I though it would funny to list and catalog the "other" jeep forums out there. EDIT: I though it would interesting My initial swag: wrangler forum: Obviously the largest- but a million newbies who know little, asking the same questions weekly "what's the best spacer lift?" JKforum: legacy WOL...

As I'm learning more about JKU suspensions- what's the biggest gain? Going to coilovers or long arms? I don't need the last inch of flex as much as I'd rather have the best possible bump absorption and ride. As my daily driver, unfortunately, I'm at least 99% street. But I drive aggressive...

Mystery: After the first off-road outing, my jeep has developed a low speed vibration I can hear and feel through the gas pedal and floor. Happens when first rolling from a stop- more so when the wheels are turned. I was in quite a bit of mud and spent an hour power washing everything...

I'm looking for a high quality clip on pressure gauge that I can inflate through using my air compressor when airing up. What are ya'll using?

My fab shop quoted me $400 to weld on EVO rock sliders. Granted they do some magical work with a mig welder, 4 hrs of labor @ $100/hr seems pretty high. They also want $60 shipping and I have to pay sales tax to get the sliders from them. Total will be $1047 installed. Or I can get them from...

The first link is a super tool kit, I don't bring that much stuff. The second link is right on- that's what recovery gear I use. For JK tools- I keep in the jeep at all times a small tool kit: - 2 flashlights -1/4" metric socket set -Torx socket drivers with appropriate size wrench -Metric...

Goosenecks are what the heavy haulers use. Ever see those dually diesels pulling triple car trailers all over the country? But, a regular car trailer will let you have the entire bed available for gear and stuff. Are you talking enclosed or flat bed trailer? Do you want a 5th wheel/hitch in...

My 3" bump stops don't give me much room for up travel. I know I need to pull the springs and cycle the suspension to see how much to cut off. But what about speed bumps or air bumps? I'm not desert running, but hitting speed bumps and pot holes in my suburban commute at speed would be...

Stock is 4.2. When I set my rockkrawler arm length according to the instructions, I got 6.5. I went back and shorted the arms as far as they would go and got back to 4.2. Now at the off-road shop, they asked why in the world would I want 4.2? They said a lifted jeep should be at 6.5! It is...

I'm selling my house and lost my garage for awhile. I'm parking outside and getting absolutely destroyed by bird shit and pollen season is about to hit. Any recommendations for a lightweight, easily thrown on cover? Hopefully big enough to clear my bull bar and spare tire. My motorcycle...

I'm at my favorite off-road fab shop getting the RK rear track bar bracket replaced with a artec weld in one and adj track bar. I mentioned that my RK 2.5 lift and fox 2.0 ifp shocks are very stiff riding. He says the RK springs are way too stiff. We took a ride in his prerunner jeep with...

As the spring off-roading seasons is quickly approaching, I'm looking to see what I should do before hitting the trails to help avoid breaking anything with my new JKU Rubicon. So far- RockKrawler 2.5 with front lower arms, 315 duratracs, bumpers, rock sliders, winch, CB, fire extinguisher...

I just got my Poison Spyder Brawler and Warn M8000-S combo bolted on. I'm very impressed with the fit and build quality. Sweet welds, factory fogs fit, no need to trim frame horns or move vacuum pump. I got it powder coated texture black locally. Northridge 4x4 has the whole combo for $1399...
