    Signs of worn Ball Joints?

    Hi All, Been a long time since I've posted here. Life's responsibilities seem to get in the way of the fun Jeep stuff. Anyways, I recently noticed that at highway speeds my rig will subtly veer left and right. If I hold the steering wheel completely straight and still, I will stay within my...

    ActionPacker - what size?

    I know this is ridiculously late and I'm raising this thread from the grave, but I was packing up the rig last night and it got me thinking about this thread. So here you go!

    ActionPacker - what size?

    I have three 8gallon ActionPackers. All three fit perfectly side by side behind the subwoofer on my 4door 2011. I'll see if I can grab a photo tonight. I use one for fluids, one for tools/parts, and one for miscellaneous camping supplies and recovery. My friend bought two of the 24gal...

    RotopaX, you're awesome!

    Just wanted to give a shout out to the customer service at RotopaX. My cousin bought me two 2 Gallon Water RotopaX for Christmas. I filled them up thinking I would use them as emergency water at home when I'm not using them on the trail for camping and what not. To my surprise, I found a pin...

    Video - First Time on The Rubicon Trail

    It's been a bucket list item for me ever since I got the Jeep back in December 2010. Finally almost 4 years later, I was lucky enough to run the Rubicon Trail with some good friends. There were two rigs running the trail this trip: my 2011 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and my good friend, Harrison...

    A Wayalife Write-up Book

    In a few of my most recent threads I've stated that I've been prep'n for my first Rubicon trip this summer. So I was just flipping through some WAL write-ups studying-up on some fixes that might be worth while to know on the trail. I came across a comment by Linebacker in the "Jeep JK Wrangler...

    So you're on the Rubicon Trail, and BAM!!!

    ...something breaks and you have no replacement part. Where do you go? Where are the local(-ish) part stores near the Rubicon Trail/South Lake Tahoe? If any? I'm planning a trip to the Rubicon, and of course I'm going to try and bring as much spare parts as humanly and logically possible. But I...

    Window rolled down, but won't go back up

    I rolled down my driver's side rear window and now it won't roll back up. When I hit the switch to roll up the window, I hear nothing. When I hit the switch to roll down, I hear the motor engaging. Any ideas? Motor? Regulator? I know opening the door panel can be a pain, but if I have to...

    Warn PowerPlant 9.5 -OR- Warn 9.5cti & ARB Twin

    Planning my first Rubicon trip with a bunch of my college buddies. Bucket list item for me, and I'm pretty excited. We plan to go late August this year. So I'm trying to schedule & budget mods before the big trip. Currently my rig has no winch and no on-board air. I dare not hit the Rubicon...

    +14° of Caster!?!?

    No worries friends. The other photo is a little misleading. The bolt-on kit that holds the bottom of the coilover only uses one side of the original bracket. The other side is part of the bolt on brackets. But good eye and thanks for looking out everyone!

    +14° of Caster!?!?

    So looks like the small nut & bolt that clamps down on the johnny joint securing the control arm length was loose on both of my lower control arms. Uppers looked good and tight. Passenger's side lower control arm was way extended, and the driver's side lower control arm was at it's shortest...

    +14° of Caster!?!?

    Hmmm??? Now it says 7° :idontknow: Yup! Definitely going to go buy a real angle finder for sure. iPhone (Just for a rough idea). But I can see it's way off just by looking at it.
