On June 28, the US Forest Service released guidance to its field offices entitled "Forest Service Makes it Easier for Visitors to Enjoy National Forests and Grasslands". Even though it doesn't get into details, I believe it offers Forest Service managers at the district level latitude to...

I'm investigating the rock crawling potential in the Abiquiu New Mexico area and in the Carson National Forest more generally. I know that rock crawling in this area has been done in the past and expect there are a lot of potential trails around that would be challenging. I've been in contact...

So, I've been researching axles and gears for my '14 JKUR. From another posting on this forum, I heard about Revolution and the fact that they have a lifetime warranty on their axles plus they were said to be made in the USA. I went to their website but didn't see anything concerning this...

In case any of you all wondered where the famous Las Cruces Chile Challenge went (from the Las Cruces Area), I wanted to let you know that it moved to Caballo Lake State Park (event HQ) a couple of years ago - near Truth or Consequences New Mexico. There is a wide range of trails ranging from...

Automatic If you are looking at the Viair portables, I'd encourage you to get one with a pressure switch that cuts the compressor off at around 150 psi. You never have to hit the on-off switch until you are finished using the compressor while for those without the pressure switch you have to...

Will go to Gordy's this Sunday to run a few of the harder trails if I can find at least a couple of other vehicles to go along. Suggest lifted, at least 315/70s (35s), winch (not totally necessary as I have one and expect others will as well), and at least one locker. I've never led a trip...

Does anyone run the Staun (Coyote) inflatable internal beadlocks with regular wheels? I love my Level 8 Bully Pro wheels from Discount Tires (especially the fact that you can beat the crap out of the rock ring and just replace it when it is too trashed to use anymore - with zero damage to the...

I can't recall where I saw it (or, perhaps, imagined it) but I seem to recall someone saying that Level 8 was going to make wheels that look like the Level 8 Pro wheels but which are true beadlocks. If this is true, I believe it would be incredibly useful to have what amounts to a rock ring...

I had posted some of this under Wheels and Tires but got not much response. Thought I'd try it here. I generally purchase tires at Discount. Spent $3400 for tires and wheels last July. Will most likely purchase next set of tires from Discount as well. With opinions expressed on the Waylife...

Was I hallucinating or did I really see a Discount Tire sub-forum under the Wheels and Tires Forum. if I wasn't, where did it go? Seemed like a good place to actually address someone from Discount directly and to discuss related items of interest to members

JK 10A, X, HR Winch Plates I have the same bumper as the OP and a Warn Cti-S. Took the ends off and had receivers for my motorhome tow bar mounted to replace the crush cans under the plastic tits. While in there, I had a custom winch plate made (at a local shop) but have since heard that...

Viair 400PA I was going for the 450 when I read an article in JP mag. It said that the 400 had almost twice the CFM as the 450 (the 400 is rated at a 33% duty cycle and the 450 at 100%). They were concerned (as I was) that the 400 would shut off (thermal overload) before their tires were...

I generally purchase tires at Discount. Spent $3400 for tires and wheels last July. Will most likely purchase next set of tires from Discount as well. With opinions expressed on this forum, I'm leaning towards the Nitto Trail Grapplers and intend to move up from 35s to 37s. I priced the 37"...

I've read on Wayalife (several times) that the 5.13 is recommended with the auto tranny but that a 4.88 would be the right choice with a manual. It, however, wasn't made clear (at least to me) why that is so. On the highway, it doesn't seem like it would make a difference. On the rocks, it...

A little short of cash right now relative to new axle shafts and am heading for Moab soon. Am a bit concerned that the caps will turn in the yoke resulting in losing the c-clip. I probably wouldn't enjoy fixing a U-joint or replacing an axle on the trail (or even out of town). Have heard on...

Both Feet on the Brakes!! That's exactly how the fellow with the 15 Rubi described his situation at Moab.

The fellow with the 15 Rubi had just come back from Moab. He experienced brake fade going down some of the slick rock and ledges (going dead slow). Said he didn't feel like he could get it to go as slow as he needed for the situation (he does have 37's with stock brakes). I brought up the...

A fellow in one of my Jeep clubs was complaining that, on his 2015 Rubi, his brakes seemed to be weak when trying to crawl down a steep hill/ledge. Another fellow (very experienced) said that in Lo-Lo (auto tranny) that there was enough thrust from the engine to overcome the brakes and make it...

This message is to inform Wayalifers of important upcoming events and has been coordinated with Wayalife to assure compliance with forum rules. The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) is scheduling a series of meetings across the country with invitations extended to...

My daughter has a very clean 2009 JKU and wants to run 35" tires and new wheels with the proper backspacing. My son-in-law went to the local 4 Wheel Parts store to get a budget boost kit (spacers and shock relocation brackets). It seemed like a reasonable plan to me. One of the clerks at the...
