Driving a USFS trail in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula, starting passing by this lake. Then did a double-take over my shoulder. Had to stop and admire. Biggest beaver dam I've personally seen. At the middle it's a good 6-8' tall. Across it's length, perhaps 75'. For reference, that lodge...

Stitch currently wears LOD sliders, Metacloak underpants. Folks have asked me how well the armor has held up. Thought I'd share these picks. We've taken some good bashes, though not nearly as many since doing our lift. I've nothing to complain about. Has far outperformed the EVO armor Stitch...

Howdy, Thought I'd try and get a Tacklife jump battery via Wayalife's Amazon store. After weeks of delay, cancelled the order. What other jump start batteries are some of you using, that you'd recommend? ?

Couple weeks ago, my wife and I had a major t'do, putting us in a potential life threatening situation in the blink of an eye. But like many major incidents NTSB might investigate, the end result was often simply the last in a thread of issues leading up to it. Hopefully our lessons learned can...

...early in the morning :).

y'know :)

Impressed with 67 Designs. Have ordered a few things from them of late. Received the accompanying hand-signed card from their CEO. Not necessary, certainly appreciated. Nice to see these little touches here and there.

Enjoy sharing our adventures with my friends. Our Jeep, Stitch, has been a great enabler. We explore places we'd have never even thought to explore 5 years ago. Here, we're at Rabbit Back Point in Michigan's Upper Peninsula as the Sun's starting to cast long shadows. I've been pleasantly...

Remember that tire story? Saga continues... So, mid-June, place order for rims & tires from Tirerack. Get call saying, you know rims are bo'd, and we have tires? Yep, knew that, go ahead and ship tires. They're due to receive the rims around 10 July. No problemo, I've got plenty of other...

Here's a good one for you.... Late June, placed an order for 5 sets of rim, tire, TPMS, lug nuts, etc. Rims were backordered, no problemo. Only two weeks. 2nd week July, vendor A sends me note, says, got tires, rims no available until 7/30. What do I want to do. I checked vendor B. They...

Howdy, Doing a lift and regearing shortly, need to get a programmer. Searching the site, haven't seen anything 'recent' about programmers. What is the best programmer currently? Looking to adjust for gearing, tire size, as well as change settings for things like sway bar disconnect (Rubi)...

Time for Stitch to get a lift. Put it off for a number of years. Functionally, didn't really need it. Only 3x have I ever really been in a situation where it would've been particularly useful. Always thought a lifted JK looked good. However, continuing to upgrade Stitch, the weight's been...

Greetings, Could use some insight. '15 JKU Rubi. 33" tires. My wife told me the steering was binding up on her today, seemed to always happen when she'd come to a stop. When she got home, I took it for a test drive. It's basically acting as if the power steering is intermittently turning...

Greetings, Would appreciate input. Moving from stock JKU Rubi '15, with 33's on stock rims (7.5" width), to 35s. Running KO2s currently, expect to simply go to KO2s in the 35" size. For 35" KOs, BFG specifies rim widths from 8.5-11". What are some of the pros/cons between smaller and wider...

Howdy, Looking to make some changes. Curious what the community's current thoughts are regarding Method Racing's MR305 NV. I see them from time-to-time in my area. For those who have a set, or you've wheeled with someone who does: How are they holding up? Any obvious pros/cons? Durability...

Came across the picture again... This past October, my wife Kimberly and I were wheeling across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The western half of UP had seen days of rain, just starting to slacken as we got to the Crystal Falls - Ironwood region (western half). The trails were all heavily...

Seems a lot of fellow wheelers I talk with, regardless their experience level, aren't comfortable talking about using pulleys. So I thought I'd share... Whether you have a winch or not, if you're taking your rig off-road, sooner or later you're going to need to be pulled out of a predicament...

Offroad Tool Stowage Been a few months with other distractions. Thought I'd share a couple current thoughts... Some of you may have seen my posts over the last few years, asking how folks stow their tools in their Jeeps. I've appreciated the range of solutions. Many tend to involve a mix of...

It's Jeep thing. So, when you hear SEND IT!, this is what they mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh1i31Kr7R4
