    GM 14 Bolt front and rear swap

    What’s up everyone? So I’m on deployment currently and we have this old 1985 Chevy CUCV (basically military terms of a 3/4 or 1 ton long bed Silverado) Axles look to be in pretty good shape, so I decided I was going to bring them home. Currently have the rear axle out and beginning tear down...

    Old Jeep Winches

    With all the recent pics I’ve seen of you guys finding, restoring, and rebuilding the old jeep winches, I wish I would’ve known that was a thing. I would’ve taken better pics of the one on my CJ. Can’t tell you any of the details on it but after seeing the pics you guys are posting I realized I...

    40’s on a PR44?

    So this could constitute some heckling I know. But I have been looking at Dynatrac’s Trail Leader package (PR44 up front, ARB, 5.13s with shafts, gears, and locker for the rear to match) my question is if I was to gusset (possibly truss) the axles would they be able to confidently hold the...

    JL’s in Alaska

    They finally made it! The more I see them the more I am drawn to them. This is the third I’ve seen up here so far and surprisingly they have all been on base. One of the LT’s I know has a red sport. Very nice interior, love the upgrades jeep made. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Question about pitman arm/ draglink

    So my question is how far is the drag link sleeve supposed to be adjusted? I feel like mine might be adjusted way to far out but my steering wheel is still centered and where should the pitman arm sit in relation to the center line of the jeep? Mine seems like it points slightly to the drivers...

    Loose/flighty/“Dead spot” in steering

    I’ve searched the forum with no luck so I don’t know if my solution may be posted up already, but I digress, anyways while driving it feels like there is a “dead spot” in my steering from about the point of the steering wheel at center and slightly when turning to the left and right. Ive checked...

    Random dash oughts

    Steering geometry questions

    I have been doing some research online and just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. So first things first I'm sure you all know by now I have 6 1/2" BDS long arm lift kit. (Yes I know it sky high, yes I know it's ridiculous for 37's.... but anyways lol) my track bar and drag link...

    Shock mounting question

    Been seeing a lot of this up here in Alaska lately and just wondering what's the deal? Is there a reason shocks are mounted "upside down"? Does it hinder the operation of them at all? Or does it really even matter? Other jeeps Mine Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Tire rubbing on rear control arm...

    Recently seen some unusual rubbing marks on the inside of my front driver tire, couldn't figure out what the hell it was. Upon further inspection I realized that my rear driver tire is rubbing against the control arm and the front had rub marks sustained from before I rotated the tires. Anyone...

    Anyone ever drop their suspension?

    Title might sound a little misleading... but just had a thought. I currently have the BDS 6 1/2" long arm lift kit and had the thought of actually dropping the suspension down to 4" by using the EVO 4" plush rides. All I would need to accomplish this are the coils correct? As everything is...

    Sway bar question

    I have a 2014 JKU sport and I've been looking at getting a Rubi electronic sway bar and then doing an EVO manual disconnect on it. Would this be beneficial as I already have quick disconnect links? Or would I just be adding another disconnect that is unneeded? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Rubicon take off parts question

    Was thinking about trying to find a Rubicon sway bar and T case to swap out the ones on my sport. Correct me if I'm wrong but since I have a 2014 JKU sport as long as I get the parts from a 2012+ Rubicon everything should bolt up correct? Obviously the electronic sway bar disconnect won't work...

    Cage question

    I've been looking at adding a cage in the future and wanted to know what are some of the pros and cons out of what I've seen. I know a lot of guys here are running the RH sport cage. What is the difference between the RH sport cage vs Poison Spyder's trail cage vs the new EVO cage? RH has the...

    Anyone know if 3 car seats fit in a 2014 JKU?

    Just found out that my wife is pregnant with number 3! YEA!!! I have a 4 year old in a booster and a 2 year old in a front facing seat. Anyone had to do this before? Or should I follow some write ups and go ahead and start installing third row seating? Lol Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE...

    Tinkering with Snoopy aka my 1974 CJ5

    I haven't posted any pics of my 74 so I figured I'd start a thread with a few things I have done so far and then will continue when I finally tear it down to the frame for a complete resto. Before I got stationed in Kansas I pulled the engine to reseal the top half, replaced the clutch and...

    Questions on alignment, driveshafts, and lockers.

    Posted this on the alignment write up but thought I'd bump it here with my other questions. My question for alignment is which step do you start first? Toe-in is last but would you center the axle or center the steering wheel or set caster first? Also being that I have a 6.5 inch lift what do I...

    EVO draglink flip question

    I recently installed the EVO draglink flip, I noticed that there is no zerks fitting. Is it safe to assume that if and when the joint wears out I have to replace the entire draglink or are these supposed to be rebuildable (to an extent)?

    Adjustable track bar question

    Is an adjustable track bar needed? Or rather is it even something to throw money at? I'm looking at the JKS adjustable. I have a 6.5 lift and I'm doing a front axle swap and also trying to get rid of my DW. So I'm replacing/ upgrading my tie rod, drag link, and track bar at the same time. Thanks...
