    EVO High Clearance Long Arm Kit for JK

    Now before you read too much further, this is an incomplete kit. Long story short, attempted to install on my JKU with Superduty axles and the width up front was too much. Had to back out and go a different direction. In 2 weeks (September 19th) I drive from VA back to WA. I would like to leave...

    3.8 exhaust modification with EVO long arm

    Anyone have any pictures of the modifications made to the cat locations for an EVO long arm with a 3.8? I can’t seem to find any pictures. I assume I’ll have to cut the cats out and move them towards the manifolds to make room. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Front plate with EVO 1/4 pounder

    Anyone have a front plate attached to their 1/4 pounder? Looking to make a switch to an EVO front bumper but want to be sure I can mount my plate. Haven’t seen many out there. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Long arm upgrade or Rubicrawler?

    Looking to plan my next big upgrade. I’m torn with going for a long arm setup because everything works right now. Sure I would love a smoother ride, less axle swing and better manners when driving over obstacles but the mid arm is working well so far. I do lack power when crawling the bigger...

    Toaster Jeep Rescue/Naches Trail

    This last weekend, a few friends of mine and myself decided to tackle the Naches Trail here in Washington. We knew we were running out of time because the snow is starting to come down up there and we wanted to try it sooner than later. Started on the Lower Naches trail which is challenging...

    Missing person- Sequim, WA

    A Sailor who works with me went hiking up near Sequim, Wa. on Friday the 4th. He never showed up to work on Monday. We found his car at the beginning of the Lower Grey Wolf Trailhead. No sign of him anywhere. All the authorities have been notified and numerous people spent all day with S&R...

    Low Budget Willys Crawler

    So I decided to create my own build thread instead of sharing one with my brother, RedBeard on the FrankenWillys thread. I acquired a 1952 Willys Truck from a buddy of mine that bought it as a project but decided it was too much work. It didn’t leave my trailer for about a month after he...

    Rubicon Sway Bar Rebuild

    Last year I traded my Sahara sway bar for a Rubi one. I went ahead and installed the Evo no limit disconnect and it works great. But there seems to be a lot of play or slop where the bar enters the disconnect. I can also feel the difference driving, not as stiff anymore. Does anyone know if you...

    Back from deployment

    So I recently got back from my 6 month deployment. This has been my third deployment on board USS Nimitz. We spent over three months over in the Arabian Gulf supporting forces in the Middle East for Operation Inherent Resolve. This was not my best deployment because we spent so much time at sea...

    Moses Lake Sand Dunes (WA). March 4th.

    With so much rain here on the west side, we are traveling east to Moses Lake. Probably won't get there until noon but we are going to stay until Sunday as long as Snowqualmie Pass plays nice. Feel free to join if you wish. All you need is a flag which can be purchased at the local Walmart...

    Manastash Ridge/Little Naches Trail Conditions

    I'm looking to do a spur of the moment trip with some friends from work and I'm wondering what the trail conditions are like right now. I've been up there in the Summer but never in the winter. I'm sure there is snow but I don't want to drive 3 hours to find out that it's impassable. I'll be...

    37s+welded diff+2" spacers+daily driven=?

    So a buddy of mine that is new to off roading picked up a 1986 Grand Wagoneer a few months back. It was already lifted with 37" tires stuffed underneath it. The previous owner put 2" spacers on it to fix his rubbing issue. Also he had the rear diff welded. My friend not knowing any better, drove...

    Cheaper and better than a JK

    So one thing I love about my JK is that I can build it for 37s and still take trips on the freeway at 70+ MPH and remain be comfortable. Most of my vehicles have never had A/C, electric windows or a stereo. So it's really nice to have something more on the extreme side and still have a...

    FrankenWillys

    My brother purchased this last year and I finally got a chance to look it over. It's a 1955 Willys Wagon. It's really straight looking Jeep but it's missing some originality. The engine and transmission has been replaced with a slant six out of a '79 something dodge. I haven't crawled underneath...

    What's next?

    My jeep has grown more rapidly than I had imagined and it needs to continue that way based on the decisions I've recently made. Not too long ago I picked up some Slabs and 37s for a steal. Now I'm that guy rocking them on a D30. "Shame, shame, shame." But I recently sold my YJ and it is paying...

    2016 Pinch Seam

    Did anyone notice that the pinch seam on the 2016's is already trimmed? Maybe Jeep finally got the memo.

    Birth of Phoenix

    My story begins in 2013 with the purchase of a 1988 XJ. It was my first jeep. I loved building it and taking it off the beaten path was exciting. I then traded it for a 1995 YJ. I've spent the last year building that jeep from parts off of Craigslist. It's been a blast. But I've always wanted a...

    Need some color opinions.

    The windshield on my wife's jeep just cracked so that means a new Wayalife banner. Originally we bought the black vinyl one which you normally can't see. It shows up bright when the sun hits it just right. We liked that subtle touch it had but now we are thinking about changing it up. We have a...
