    VIDEO - JL JOURNAL : Armoring Up the Underside with EVO ProTek Skid Plates

    Your profile shows you have a JK, with no armor listed. And as noted, Rustys does not make these skids for the JL. What parts, on what jeep, are you talking about? Pics of damage? Ive got more than a couple scuffs on my JK protek skids without issue so far.

    VIDEO : EVO UP - The Beginning of a Badass JEEP GLADIATOR Pickup Truck Build

    I liked the idea of the Jeep Truck, but I have not been super excited by the factory versions, especially with a rubicon with a few options coming in around $50k (not expecting much discount for a little while either). But that shot with the 40s had me really thinking if I could still tow a car...

    JL-EXPERIENCE : REUNION - PART 1 | Overlanding Across the Mojave Desert

    Its not often a 30 minute youtube video is too short... Love the style, and more of a friends hanging out vs the full production value you get with some other videos. This was great. Ill miss some of the shots you get on some of the other trips getting all up in the technical side, but I...

    VIDEO : TRADITION - A Rubicon Trail Adventure in Our Jeep JL Wrangler

    That drain plug... Its like someone in the Fiat service side just said "we could save a lot of time if the drain plug was easy to get to and drained the fluid fully. Why not the bottom?" and no one checked on that detail the rest of the build. Just odd considering how other minor stuff was...

    Hello all - I bought the stuff to make 3 "DIY Spods", a la Pvanwheelden's write up here on the forum. I have a couple of friends and family members with Jeeps who I thought would want them as Christmas gifts, but after asking them none of them thought they would be using enough...

    Another "accident, anything I am missing" question...

    Sorry, those photos dont show the bend, just got a shot of it - it is the bottom of the tire carrier. Its not a huge amount, but the driver side is noticeably titled up from parallel to the bumper. Also, I am not sure about what looks like a gap at the bottom of the door. Didnt really look...

    Another "accident, anything I am missing" question...

    I hate to add to the list of those recently involved in an accident, but on Tuesday I was rear ended in the Jeep. Stop and go traffic on highway commute, I was stopped, she said she was "putting her coffee cup down". I had been watching her in my mirror, as she was following a bit close, and...

    Alignment issue/tire wear

    Hey all, no pics right now, cause thunderstorm... But I have a 12 Rubi, stock steering. Axle has Evo gussets, and running a Rancho 2" sport lift. I had it aligned at a dealer after the lift, but I am getting bad tire wear, effectively what looks like positive camber wear, on the outside edge...

    Name That Tool

    Not just you. I have had 3 F150s with the 5.4, but on my second I had one of the OE 2 piece plugs break while driving out of state to buy a motorcycle. Ended up at a road side show and shelling out about $1k on a plug change, as 3 of the 8 broke. off. Luckly they had the Lisle tool for...

    Welding help

    I would take a class from a trade school or local community college, or a shop that offers them. The college would be the best bet, as you will get to try different types of machines. My dad and I split the cost of a Miller 211 a while back and got a smoking deal (So we are happy), and they...

    Thinking about a cooler, need some info

    Got the cooler in the other day, wanted to update in case anyone else is looking in the future. Cooler will hold 18 .5l bottles of water, could fit 36 cans, but not room left for ice in that case, as double stacked cans come up to the top of the cooler. This will give room for a bit of ice...

    Synthetic winch line questions

    Check out the bottom of this page. Shows a good tape method, and explains it. I might consider, if I were you and people were pulling too much, consider a piece of heat shrink or red tape or something to mark the rope as well. Clearly people are not paying attention...
