    The building of "El Toro"

    Our Jeep club planned a trip to the Rubicon in 2021 and I had just discovered my ARB coil springs in the rear were toast. I only had a few weeks until we departed but thanks to the crew at Clayton Offroad they shipped the springs and shocks in time for me to install them, just days before we...

    The building of "El Toro"

    My factory soft top took a dive, the rear zipper actually, and my wife and I had to drive home from MT with an open rear window in the rain and muck. Good times. I hated it since it was limiting my access to the back seat area. I long took out my rear seat since we don't use it, so we could...

    The building of "El Toro"

    I won an Eaton TrueTrac at a jamboree in Idaho and decided it was time to regear at the same time. Ended up going with 5.13’s knowing I want 37’s one day. What a difference the 5.13’s make here in the mountains! Been loving it climb so easy. The TruTracs have been great even though they are a...

    Holy resurrection Batman! It’s been almost 6 years since I’ve posted. Lots to update on which I’ll get to. My build has been very slow but it continues…lots to share.

    1 1/2" Wheel Spacer

    Before I drop $100 on a pair of wheel spacers, I thought I'd post this up here to see if anyone has a spare I could purchase. I installed an EVO tire carrier and I am running factory wheels (not enough bs I think) which require a wheel spacer to mount the spare. I only need one, obviously, if...

    Show Off Your Guns!

    “If” I were to ever own a pistol I’d probably be a fan of CZ and own something like this. I hear they’re extremely reliable.

    JL-EXPERIENCE : REUNION - PART 2 | Rock Crawling Fun in Arizona

    The wife and I watched part 2 last week while road tripping from Seattle to Reno staying East of I-5 and traffic. If I ever wheel in AZ I'll have to go alone since my wife won't go now after seeing this video. Too many sticky bushes. Damn... Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Installed the EVO Pro Series tire carrier today. Solved my vibration issue. Solid product and easy to install. I only wish I had purchased one sooner. I had been carrying around my spare 35" tire on the factory mount with a relocation braket but I developed a vibration and found some cracks...

    The building of "El Toro"

    Hoping to learn my lesson I did a search for a switch system that fit my budget - S-Tech. I recall the makers of SPOD had lacked a bit of integrity here at WAL in years past & so I did cross them off my list of options. I’m not savvy at forum navigation but after doing a search I could find...

    I was able to get the OME 2.5” lift with medium duty springs on before moving. Added to it the Wheel spacers and Nittos and this is how it stands now.

    Wave from the PNW! My 2nd Wave

    I fell off the forum for several years having originally sending a wave from VA. It was my hope to relocate back West one day and as luck would have it I was promoted and relocated just outside of Seattle. I grew up in CA and having lived on the East coast for 23+ years I was really missing...

    Peters Mill Run in VA

    Needs some feed back from anyone who has been on Peters Mill Run. I'm wondering if a noob can navigate this. I want to head up there this Saturday 5/9/15. I won't be going alone but the other couple going are also fairly new to off-roading. I've been to Rausch Creek a few times and took...

    Since I'm eventually going to run 35" tires and my sliders looked funny with the pinch seam sticking out, I decided to do an easy an cheap mod...trim the rear pinch seams. JB Weld filling it in and sealing it up.

    The building of "El Toro"

    After reading and gleaning from the more experienced members, one thing I read stood out. "Learn how to drive your Jeep stock, learn to pick good lines, and become a better driver". So that's why we headed up to Rausch Creek bone stock. We learned so much and had more fun than we should have...

    The building of "El Toro"

    Honestly, I wasn't going to do a build thread. I enjoy reading others but didn't see the point for me to create one. Then I was flipping through all my hand written notes and digital notes and I realized..."I need a place where I can keep all this stuff and also get feedback from others who...

    Rausch Creek 101 Course

    Bought our first JK in July 2014. Spent many months driving around with the top off and just enjoying it. I knew I was going to build it up when I bought it but wanted to take my time and read as much as possible...see what others have and such. The best advice I read was from seasoned...
