14.2" rotor mock up!! How about a few sexy pics of a factory 14.2" (yes - you heard me right - not a 13"... a 14") rotor sitting behind a stock JK rim??? Here ya go!! First, the OEM setup: Now the two discs, stock and upgrade, side by side: 14" rotor on hub: 14"...

Thanks! I really liked the look from the back...

LOL. You said parking is a challenge... :cheesy: This was the last vehicle I built from the ground up... try parking this!! OK, I added a few pics of my little buddy helping, too :) It's awesome having someone big enough to STAND in the fenderwell, behind the tire, to tighten a turbo...

Trying to make this purchase ASAP. I keep going back and forth on this item. Here's the 'Pros' I've seen for each of these two wheels: (please feel free to correct me, or attest to my points being what you've seen as well...) ATX Slab: - strong, looks good - very thick beadlock ring, compared...

Oh, and as one other interesting note: Here is the master cylinder used in the military version of the JK, the J8, produced through 2010 and exported to (unfortunately) numerous foreign governments. There have been alot of rumors about the "upgraded brakes and axles" on the J8. I believe...

Found a great resource that has helped me more quickly narrow down some parts to compare bolt patterns, rotor specs, master cylinder specs, etc. It is through Centric's website. They are an OEM brake component manufacturer that produces and supplies a large portion of the OE brake parts...

Everyone here has been so nice and welcoming that I wanted to try to give a little back. I figured we all could use some extra braking power for big tires, etc. There seems to be so much secrecy about the Teraflex kit and also the Jeep J8 brakes, so I've been doing some investigation, and I...

How awesome! Did something very similar with mine!

When I hear these discussions I always think back to a fun little high school physics experiment: figure out the car's weight by measuring air pressure in each tire and the square inches of contact patch of each tire. Hope I don't bore anyone but I think its useful :) The force each tire...

A little different line of questioning: About to purchase my 37s. While deciding on which tire, I compared specs on a bunch and noted drastically different weights. Obviously influenced by # of plys, load rating, etc. Here's an example: MTR Kevlar 37x12.5x17: 73 lbs Mickey Thompson MTZ...

Phillip, I think I'm gonna end up giving them a shot, too! Now, on a separate note, ever considered getting the R&P cryo-treated?? I have read alot of good about it, and talked for 30 minutes with the owner of Performance Cryogenics last week and treating a ring and pinion runs about 50-60...

I always found Motive associated with essentially OEM replacement grade axles/gears. I don't recall upgraded designs/materials (such as Chromoly, etc) from Motive. As I mentioned earlier, however, don't forget G2 as a brand option. They apparently have a lifetime warranty on their R&Ps...

So now that my project was delayed a little by the incessant wait for Superior gears to come back into stock (which now looks iffy), I started looking again at R&Ps. Just an interesting note: G2 gears are listed as having a lifetime warranty! I've never seen that on an R&P before. I had been...

Oh... and a teaser of the next phase of fun :) 300M just makes me smile...:rock:

Alot of protection issues addressed: -Installed Poison Spyder fenders, coated with Line-X Premium -Trimmed pinch seams -Cut and Line-X'd the inner fender liners -Line-X'd the rear tubs (due to removal of factory inner liners -Line-X'd the Rubi rails and the separate rock sliders -Line-X'd the...

I had thought that superior was one of the only ones left still manufacturing here in the US?? Or was that only axles and not R&Ps?

Just wondering if anyone knew what happened to them?? Multiple suppliers are out of stock, QTec told me they have had so many supply problems that they've dropped carrying their stuff except for remaining stock, and Superior isn't answering any of their phones... Of course, right as I was...

Hello everyone! Kinda a newb to this forum, but not to wheelin. :) My kids and I have been building up our jeep, and loving every minute. My question to the crowd is: I am about to do a whole bunch of upgrades at once, but I didn't notice a detailed DIY, in your driveway, ring and pinion...

Love plugging in the block heater the easy way for a warm ride to work at oh-dark-thirty in the morning for a change :)

First, yes the plate mount stays put. It is very well built and takes quite a bit of pull to even remove! The front and rear cameras hook up to this: Its an awesome setup... the monitor is a waterproof, shockproof, LED back lit, outdoor viewable monitor. Perfect for a jeep!! The site is...
