Got myself the Evo rear fascia today. I wanted something that was minimalist, and didn't want to add a lot of weight to the rear end. I plan on covering up some of the excess metal under the tailgate to blend it in better, and also want to get the D ring kit. Little by little though.

So while examining my suspension today, I noted something with the tie rod that kind of had me worried. The passenger side connection and bushing appear to be normal, straight and correct. The driver's side, however, looks crooked and the bushing looks deformed. Is this normal? Or did I bend the...

This was my older setup. Still have the Ibanez. Traded in my pedals for a Boss ME80, and hung the Kramer up on the wall of my office.

After doing the 5 tire rotation the other day on my KO2's (have about 2000 miles on them) I noticed the front tires are wearing excessively on the outside. In the pictures, the top shows a "scuffing" along the outer edge of the tire. For reference, the other pic is of the rear tire. There are...

So last night I get home from riding at my favorite mountain biking spot, and after cleaning off the bikes I go to pull into the garage. I notice the clutch pedal feels very loose and different than usual. I then notice I almost stall it getting into the garage because the clutch engagement...

Getting ready to do the first rotation on my new tire/wheel setup. I did 5 tire rotations on my stock wheels and tires. Wanted to get opinions on whether to keep doing it with the KO2's or to reduce it to the 4 tire rotation so I have a fresh tire always on the back. Only advantage I see with...

Ugh. Suckered me in.

Came across this one randomly while searching for Ouray Colorado videos. I see the comments on the vid allude to some Wayalife slams, but upon watching the video I could find no references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EQK_z4Ua7s The butthurt is amazingly far-reaching in the Youtube galaxy...

So here is the final product for now. I wheeled it this weekend, and it performed very well. Nothing broken, nothing rubbing and easy to clean up. I don't have the funds to do anything else to it for a while now, focusing on home improvements and an upcoming vacation out west. The next thing I...

Been a while since I posted. Added new wheels and tires, leveling kit, and XRC fender flares. Need a new windshield banner since I had to replace my cracked front windshield. Lost all my darn event stickers too. Grrr! >:(

I know there was a write up for this before, but that was for chopping the stock fenders. I went with Smitty XRC metal flats, and in order to get the OEM liners to work, I needed to use the hole where the original write-up specified you drill out and put the LED in. This leaves me with ZERO...

So after installing the new fender flares, I did not care for the fact that the lack of a liner left parts of the engine exposed. And since I have an ugly stock suspension, I decided to trim the liners so I could reinstall them. I made two quick cuts with a saw and dremel, and screwed them back...

Added some Smitty XRC flat fenders today..

I was getting irritated by the lack of light the stock halogens throw out, so I decided to stick with the budget theme and upgrade. I ordered a set of Delta Xenon hi/lo headlamps for 150 bucks. I haven't seen a lot of stuff on these headlights, but the few things I did see were positive and said...

I have to say, I am really impressed with the capability of that little machine. I was not sold on the looks, and I still am not totally into it, but with your prowess behind the wheel, that thing can do stuff I would have never imagined it could. Great, fun video too.

Tested out the new tires. Did pretty good in the slippery clay. Discovered I need to trim my fenders or get some new flats....:crazyeyes:

Thanks for all the input. I ended up going with 16x8 Procomp 7069s with BFG KO2 rubber at 295/75/16. Looks great with the leveling kit IMO.

Got the wheels and tires on, finally!! Three years in the making, but a lot of thought went into the combination. In the end, I went with 16" Procomp 7069's, BF Goodrich KO2's in 295/75/16. A little over 33" tall. I am loving the ride and the combo looks great on the CG.

I am already aware of the merits of disconnecting on the trail, but I was wondering how safe it is on a basically-stock JKU. My concern is if the amount of flex or movement will end up stuffing the tires into areas that they can cause damage, or if the bump stops will take care of that. Keep in...

In anticipation of my rim and tire install this weekend, I purchased the Flashcal to help correct the speedometer difference and also disable TPMS when I am off road and aired down. So far, this thing works great!
