    On Highway Air Pressure in Oversized Tires

    People often ask what air pressure they should run after they replace stock tires with oversized tires. Many assume that they always have to run the pressure listed on the door panel. I even heard one say that you should run what is on the tire sidewall. Most on this forum know that if you do...

    Mopar Big Brake Kit Discontinued for the JK

    I have been planning on upgrading my JK brakes and had been looking at the Dynatrac Progrip. But, based on some of the member opinions here, I became convinced that the Mopar Big Brake Kit with its dual calipers and larger than stock rotors was the way to go. I tried ordering them today and...

    Pitch and Roll Instrumentation

    I downloaded iOS 12 this week on my iPhone and noted their new app for measuring, which has a level as well. Got me thinking that with that technology you could have an app for pitch and roll (and yaw). Got looking in the App Store and found a couple apps designed for off roading. Anyone here...

    Where have all the mechanics gone

    Last week I was riding a Jeep dealer lot with a salesman in his cart. An odd noise came from the cart and I commented that we needed to find a mechanic. He said: “There are no mechanics left at car dealers. There are only people that read computers that tell them which part to take off and...

    Government Jeeps

    Since the concept of our Jeeps started out as Government Property vehicles for war, I thought it might be interesting to keep up with what the US Military has in mind for future such vehicles. Recently DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has unveiled prototypes of their...

    Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Issue

    This week driving to Roswell, New Mexico, from the north, I was in a strong cross wind from the west. I was having to steer up into the wind to track straight. In essence I was slightly steering to the right. A stronger gust pushed me to the left and I steered abruptly to the right. The ESC/ABS...

    I test drove a JL today, and...

    This morning my Jeep dealer in Franklin Tennessee got its first shipment of JL‘s. My salesman and I immediately jumped in the first one off the truck, a 4 door Sport, and took it for a test drive. I am impressed. We have all seen the pictures, and it is of course as described. This is my take...

    Drop your wrenches...step away from your Jeep

    It has all been for naught. We have modified, lifted and customized, for what? According to Car and Driver you can now buy a Mercedes Maybach G Wagon that looks like, well kind of like, or let's say similar to a Jeep, for the low introductory price of $550,000...

    Anyone have experience with the Magellan eXplorist TRX7 GPS?

    This GPS caught my eye in an ad on Red Rock 4 Wheelers EJS magazine that just came out. Supposed to have 82,000 trails and all kind of features for interaction. It looks like they have tons of BLM trails. Says they have all of the EJS trails. I put in a call to Charles Wells to see if their...

    Tpms

    My tire pressure monitoring system is not working correctly. The rear left and right indicators are reversed. I can drop the pressure to 15 psi on the left and the display shows the 15 psiI on the right. I recently replaced the stock Rubicon wheels and tires with Hutchison rock monsters. As I...

Hope to get back out west early...
