    Crossing North America in a JK: My move to Alaska

    Well not many miles logged on day 1. Made a stop in Dallas to visit my wife's sister. Got a bite to eat and did a little shopping to kill some time before we got back on the road. We ran across this cow right in the middle of the mall! We found a couple interesting spices that I hadn't ran...

    Crossing North America in a JK: My move to Alaska

    On February 18th 2013, my wife and I decided we weren't happy here in what is quickly becoming the desert of Abilene Texas. I've been here for 6 years and in this short time I've watched the lakes and rivers dry up to almost non existence. Ready for a life change, we decided that we are still...

    Duratracs: what is a 33??

    So I'm going tomorrow to grab some new tires. I don't plan on investing the money to beef up my new jeep to handle 35's just yet, so I'm going with a set of 33's. I've been doing some research and decided on Duratracs. Mainly based on price vs a steady stream of positive reviews. I'm moving...

    Stock Gas Mileage

    Hey guys I did a search and i might have just missed it, but I'm curious as to what normal gas mileage is for a stock 2013 sport unlimited should be.

    Hi-lift jack = temp winch?

    Well I need to get a winch for my new jeep but don't have the money to drop on that and a new bumper to go with it. Just wanted to know how effective hi lift jacks are when used laterally as a temporary winch. Is this something to consider if I'm not able to get a winch now?

    nitto mud graplers or trial or toyo's mt?

    I'm assuming from the lack of debate that this is accurate? I'm buying for my DD so I guess I'd be wise to go with trails. Any comment on gas mileage? Not sure if there's much difference

    Fire.

    I call my Jeep the Coop because when my chickens aren't roosted in their coop, they can usually be found roosted on mine. This morning my wife woke up and let the dogs out. She let them back in and my beagle jumped into bed. He started whining like he wanted to go out even though he came back...

    disconecting front drive shaft

    Simple question. If someone broke a front drive shaft and couldn't afford to fix it right away, is the vehicle safe to drive in rear wheel? or could it cause damage to anything? of course i mean after removing the drive shaft and keeping it out of 4x4.

    Used truck axles?

    I've heard of folks taking axles from old trucks rather than buying new. Is this a simple and viable option for someone who can't afford new? If so, are there popular models of trucks that people hunt for? Is an axle an axle as far as bolting on is concerned? And lastly, how much could someone...

    2012 trade in prices

    Hey all. I was reading on the JK forum and a guy posted that the dealership had a Rubicon unlimited for 30k. They offered to pay off the 24k he owed on his 2012 and give him the Rubicon for $50 more a month. Basically he was wondering if it was a good deal or not. It got me thinking. I owe...
