    Flex?

    The whole point to a LCGA build is to keep the rig as stable as possible on uneven terrain. These builds usually sacrifice up-travel for down-travel as a part of the mission. Eddie has commented that he runs Moby's coils at about 4" of lift. This isn't very much at all for the 40s he's sporting...

    What would you do about rear drive shaft rub?

    While doing some routine maintenance I noticed some marking on my gas tank skid (stock) that I'm pretty sure is from the drive shaft. My axle is currently perfectly centered with the stock track bar and EVO bracket. The marking is VERY slight but there none-the-less. Would you... 1- Get an...

    JKU Rear Step Guard - Write Up

    After two weekends of wheeling naked, we had a fairly large task of cleaning ahead of us yesterday. Almost simultaneously my wife and I looked at each other and, without saying anything, we knew it was time to pull the carpets for easier cleaning. One of the many concerns we had (and prevented...

    14' Front Wheel Speed Sensor Issue

    I've seen 2 and am aware of >2 other 14's that have had the front wheel speed sensors routed incorrectly from the factory and possibly cause faults when the axle wears through the cable. The first was on my buddy Caveman's Jeep. I caught and fixed it before it was worn badly when I installed...

    Sad in AZ

    I have been in Phoenix all week for work and I can see the rocks and mountains from my hotel room. As a happily married Ohio guy with a great family.... I love this city but being here without my wife, kids, and Jeep just puts me in a bad place! I just thought I would share since I thought you...

    Trail Rated - Just Not for the Rubicon

    To be honest. I always thought the whole "trail rated" badge was just a marketing thing... I had no idea there was actually thought put into it and a whole rating system. Interesting! I'm with Eddie. I kinda like this little bugger. I don't know if I would buy one, but it would make for a fun...

    Remote Reservoir Shock Question

    Negative, well I think negative. (I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about) The directions state... "Tighten the locknut on the stem to 25 N-m (19 lb-ft)." I'm way past that.... although that's where I started. they flopped everywhere at that torque. Edit to add screenshot VVV

    Remote Reservoir Shock Question

    For those of you that are running remote reservoir shocks clamped or mounted to the main shock.... How do you keep the reservoir and shock from rotating? My front shocks keep rotating and causing the reservoir to move around, (usually out) when wheeling. They seem to stay in place on road...

    Offroad Evolution shop thread!

    This is where I'm worried about being able to touch up... Seems I would have to remove or at least lift the body.

    Spotter and driver basics

    This was a good read... I will add that many spotters (like me) will only give you one chance at ignoring directions or not listening before they assume you are okay and leave you. If you tell someone you would like them to spot then trust them. If you don't want them to spot then tell them...

    $10 Mini Switch Pod?

    Yes..... but my point is that the only protection that is being provided to the board and it's components is the 30A one which is insufficient for any one of the channels. If one channel had a ground fault, the only fuse in play would be the 30 amper. The bottom-line is this is a poor...

    $10 Mini Switch Pod?

    Since I assume the board doesn't provide protection for the relays or other components, you really should fuse each channel's positive at no more than 10A and use at least 18ga stranded wire. I normally wouldn't comment on this as I think your diagram(s) are for functional purposes only, but...

    EVO Rock Sliders

    I love the EVO sliders and there is no doubt they are VERY strong but the weld on installation kills it for me. Not because I am worried about the welding itself, but because being able to easily remove them for repaint is essential. I clean, paint, and treat everything steel under/on my Jeep...

    $10 Mini Switch Pod?

    I'm going to look like I'm having "Happy time" trying to turn my light on with this in my pocket:yup: I do get excited around Jeeps :cheesy:

    $10 Mini Switch Pod?

    I just ordered one :rock: I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with it yet but I'm sure I'll find something :idontknow: First thoughts are to rig the rock lights up to this in parallel to the circuit I already have in place. Then maybe my halos too. There have been times where I wanted...

    Love/Hate Balance Beads – What I’ve learned

    After extensive research on balancing techniques, it became clear to me that some praise and swear by balancing beads while others think they are a total waste of time and money. In the midst of all my reading, I formulated an opinion that many that hadn’t had success might not have used an...

    Please help troubleshoot odd handling after lift.

    I’m looking for some help troubleshooting some odd handling after my lift install. The lift is a MC Duroflex with MC rear adjustable Trackbar and I’m using the MC rear Trackbar relo bracket. I have NOT done a D-Link Flip but I do have a front MC adjustable tracbar. It has been aligned and...

    A Micro-Jeep in the Works - Would you do it?

    While I'm not a fan of the looks, I like to see Jeep moving so many small and hopefully fuel efficient vehicles under the badge. This will help them lower their average MPG/vehicle while keeping the wrangler changes to a minimum. Fingers crossed....

    A Micro-Jeep in the Works - Would you do it?

    I kinda see a place for this. Many of the trails I wheel on are very tight and I feel like I'm driving a school bus with my JKU. This said, at what point are you better off just getting a side-by-side? I guess one advantage would be this being street legal at more than 20MPH.

    Need Help with Rear Adams Shaft Install !!!

    I am in the middle of my lift and drive shaft installation and have found the instructions on Adam's site suck! (They are actually okay, but they don't show my parts, that they shipped or what I have on my Jeep!) Anyway, I have a question for those that have installed one of their rear shafts...
