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...

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...

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...

After running the Rubicon this past weekend, I noticed I was missing one "Piggyback Mounting Plate Bolt" during my post-trail inspection. Part #42 on the King Shock diagram. http://www.kingshocks.com/products/parts/replacement-parts/#tabs What's the best place to purchase King Shock...

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...

...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...

**SOLD** (6/13/14) I decided to go back to my stock spare tire carrier, so I'm selling my TeraFlex JK HD Hinged Carrier. Asking $325. Local Pick-up Only. I don't feel comfortable selling the TeraFlex Adjustable Spare Tire Mount (gen 1) because of known failures/brakes with the mount, but I will...

In Huntington Beach...

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...

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...

A few days ago I started to feel my jeep wander ever so slightly on the freeway. Didn't think too much of it till today when I noticed my front axle had way more positive caster than normal. Looks like +14° (according to my iPhone). Enough to notice by the naked eye. I'm going to adjust it back...

So I was greasing up my driveshafts last night, and while I was rolling around under my Jeep I started to see some sort of liquid collecting on the rear joint of the front lower control arm. Gave it a little sniff and it was clearly gas. Did some more looking around and found the fuel leak at...

This past weekend, I drove to the post office to drop off some mail. Probably took less than 3 minutes to drop off my mail and get back in my Jeep. Put the key in the ignition and turned it to start my Jeep, then I heard high pitched whine sound. It sounded like the engine wasn't turning over. I...

Went to Target yesterday and found this on my windshield when I got back. Thank you mystery giver. :D

So I bent my tie rod this weekend. Doesn't look too bad, but it looks like it brought my toe in 1/2". I'm going to dial it back in, and hopefully run the stock tie rod for a little while longer. But it got me thinking of the possible replacement tie rods. Anyone have any...

UPDATE - 6/29/15 So after 2 years of trying to sell this stuff (lol), I realize all this crap is not really worth anything. :crazyeyes: Just trying to clean up the garage and make some space. I'll be keeping the wheels, but anything that is not sold already I will give away for FREE. If you see...

Lunch time arrived, and I came out to the parking lot to find some co-workers decided I needed new aux lights. Really low wattage at least. lol. Happy Friday everyone! :thumb:

Hi Friends I recently got my first set (and hopefully my last set) of JE Reel 1350 drive shafts, front and rear. I started looking into general maintenance on these guys, so I went to Harbor Freight got a grease gun, and picked up some Mobile 1 grease from Autozone. I want to make sure I hit...

Although not exactly Jeep related, I know a lot of people on this Forum appreciate cool and interesting gadgets and gizmos. Working in the entertainment industry you get to see a lot of cutting-edge and high-end technology. At this year's Cine Gear Expo at Paramount Studios there was one thing...

Hi Guys Recently had the EVO Bolt-on Coilover kit installed on my rig. I haven't wheeled it hard yet, but must have done something to tweak it the wrong way. See pictures below. Looks like I bent the bracket just where the sway bar link is tied to the axle housing. What do you guys think...
