    Heavy tool bag.

    When I first started wheeling in Moab (puck lift and 33s) I realized the importance of having some tools on the trail. I put together a small bag, and was proud of myself. Then as more mods came, I realized most if not all aftermarket parts use SAE not metric bolts. So my tool bag basically...

    Superbowl Commercial

    Towards the end of the Harrison Ford Jeep commercial, a new model Jeep, without doors on was shown. Does anyone know what this new model is?

    Needing feedback on RPMs after gears and tires

    Going on 5 years since regear and bigger tires. In a conversation with a buddy who has the same gears, 5.13, same Nitto 38s. I used the AEV Procal, he has superchips. At 80 mph I'm at 4000 RPMs, he's at 3100. I just thought my life is limited to 70 mph. And that's how it's been this hole time...

    Spark plugs and coil packs

    Jeep is coming up on 100k miles. Manual says to change the spark plugs. Does it make sense to replace the coil packs while at it? If so, with OEM or maybe MSD?

    Transmission

    I've noticed recently that the transmission (2015 auto, 95,000 miles) isn't shifting up to the next gear until rpms are above 4000, sometimes almost pushing 5000. Shifts smoothly, no cluncks, but just holds way too long in the lower gear. When I put the current tires on 20,000 miles ago, I used...

    Jeremy The Disciple

    In 2019 I purchased my axle package from Carbon Off Road. They were a local Utah company and offered an incredible warranty. In January of this year I met Jeremy from Disciple at Eddie's New Year Kick Off. Front driver's side seal is leaking, and no one from Carbon is responding. I contacted...

    ARB bulkhead fitting

    A few years ago I followed Eddie's write up and switched my airlines to stainless braided. Recently had to work on my rear axle, so while it was out, I added an Artec truss. I had planned on going directly into the bulkhead fitting, as Eddie did, so the line came straight up, instead of doing a...

    Not a Defender

    There's been a dozen of these parked at a hotel near my house all week. Occasionally I see them conveying through town. I stopped in yesterday to take a look. A new car company. Motors are turbo charged I6 from BMW. Axles are from a company in Italy. The exec I talked to wouldn't let me take any...

    So this just happened!

    We're not big beer drinkers, but occasionally my wife likes a Coors Light. I'm out running errands, stop for gas, and run in to grab her a 6 pack. Lady at the next pump: Why didn't you buy Bud light? Me: Excuse me? Lady: You look like a homophobic person who is boycotting Bud light Me: Well I...

    Just dont!

    Some Gladiator forum popped up on my timeline. A guy was asking about towing a 5th wheel trailer. I went in for the comments. Every person that said NO, got the attached picture. My comment was against community standards and I was not allowed to join the group.

    Is this a thing?

    I heard a strange clanking noise driving home from our last trip to Moab. Upon inspection I found 2 studs are gone and the remaining 3 lug nuts were almost off. I made it into Discount Tire to get new lug nuts and had them pull up the history on the Jeep, as they were the last ones to touch the...

    Aluminum Radiator

    2015 JKU. My 2nd radiator has failed. Same place. Upper drivers side. Never enough of a leak to leave a drip on the floor, but can always smell antifreeze, and need to top off every few weeks. It's leaking where the plastic and aluminum come together. I want to go with an all aluminum one this...

    EVO JKU Coilovers

    Avoid the 8 month delay on ordering these. Have them tomorrow. EVO bolt on coilovers, and front bump stops, with complete install kits. Boxes have been opened to verify all parts were included, but never installed. Box and part number say black, but they are blue. I paid $5300 plus tax and...

    Pop up videos

    I get it. It's the world we live in. Eddie provides this site and forum free to us. I understand if he uses ads to help finance it. More power to him. The thing that drives me crazy, is the video ad that pops up at the bottom, with full volume, even if my phone is silenced. I get into so much...

    My wife is a Badass

    Today, on her 55th birthday my wife received her bachelor's degree. 4 years ago, we became empty nesters, so she decided to go back to school. All her hard work paid off, and she was rewarded on her birthday.

    Beadlock Rings

    My buddy and I both have KMC beadlocks. His are machete and mine tank. We helped each other mount the tires months ago. Not until a break on a trail at EJS did we notice the difference. Is one style "better" than the other? If so, could the one with the less desirable ring style, purchase the...

    Remember when?

    It was January 2016. We had a puck lift and 33s. In the mall parking lot, I thought we looked cool as shit. On that day, friends took us on Hell's Revenge. I swear to God we died that day, and everything since is just Heaven. Do you remember when you first got the bug?
