    Prototype GoPro boom

    Trying to get some more exciting angles from my GoPro I modified a rotating boom idea I saw online. They mounted a short length of PVC on a swivel caster mount to a skateboard helmet with counterweight against the camera. I went bigger and used a 10' piece of conduit. I need to find a better...

    Not happy with JK.

    My JK is tuned to the wrong radio station and the dealer says its not covered under warranty because its an aftermarket stereo. I'm a gonna trade it for this.

    Which one do you prefer???

    Usually depends on how stable of ground the tow vehicle is sitting on. If your rig is gonna be sketchy pulling or there is something keeping you from driving forward then use the winch. We also tend to use a winch for a flop or near flop because you get better control. Most of the time we use...

    The building of knuckles

    Yeah, I wish I had a rig like that when I was his age (12 I think). Seriously, he is a new freshman at UNR. Great kid and a great driver.

    DIY Rock sliders

    It's not that difficult if you can do basic fab and weld. Helps to have a pipe bender and a pipe end notcher but I've seen it done with a grinder and creative use of a bottle jack. I set mine at 55 degrees to the ground to keep them tight. Mine are basically an ACE copy. I've beat them hard and...

    2013 JK-Experience

    I have a buddy with a YJ heavily modified on 40's that can't seem to find a rock in the SW that will get him on 3 wheels. He climbed this at the start of Gold Mt to check clearance of his new engine and still had a couple inches on the front passenger. We need a club fork lift.

    Bad factory weld on LCA mount?

    Not true. They have to prove that the modification cause the failure. I took more pics with it off. One section of the top is a smooth factory edge. Both tabs on the bottom barely show no sign of being welded. I can clean the broken weld off the mount and frame and you you never know it was...

    Traction control light

    Here is a pic of a worn mount. You can see the bolt is loose and would let the trackbar slip. Once it starts moving it makes the hole bigger and bigger.

    War Machines 702 in Big Bear '13

    Our Vegas Jeep Club, War Machines 702, just finished our second annual trip to Big Bear. Had a great time, some of you saw some of the carnage. Mostly my driver front LCA frame side bracket tore off, a rear frame side trackbar mount began to tear and a JKR bent a rear axle. We ran Gold Mt and...

    Bad factory weld on LCA mount?

    That's kinda funny. I hope I don't make all the '12 owners nervous. Here's what I saw when I climbed out. As you can see, the entire bracket came off cleanly without any tearing.

    Bad factory weld on LCA mount?

    We were down in Big Bear this weekend and on the first trail we ran, Gold Mt, I heard a noise near my driver front after an easy open trail section. When I got out and looked I saw my front driver LCA hanging from the axle side bracket. The entire frame side mount had torn off the frame cleanly...

    Krawl to the King

    Last weekend was the benefit run for Crown King, AZ put on by the AZ Krawlers. Last summer they had a forest fire followed by a flood that washed out the road in. The town used to have gold mines but relies strictly on tourism and caters to the offroad community. 4 of us brought 3 rigs out to...
