I run the OffRoadOnly air suspension on my JK and I love it. They've definitely been feeling the supply crunch though and their kits have been out of stock for quite awhile. I'd definitely be interested in this kit for my JL. The only downside to my air suspension is that you're kind of...

Thanks for the advice. I will follow it. Until the part gets here, I wrapped the hard line with 3/8ths rubber line (split down the middle so I could cover it) and used 4 clamp-type hose clamps to secure it. It's working much better than the field repair Then I took my mini-sledge and beat...

Turns out I took a picture before I started repairs!

I was out on a great trail this weekend (ride report to come) with rocks and boulders and all kinds of obstacles without damaging my Jeep, so far. On the way out, with about 4 miles of treachery to go, on a relatively smooth surface, I managed to kick up a large rock into the area behind the...

I beat on my mine like a red-headed stepchild. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

I got my RPMFab aluminum tie rod and drag link. It's like jewelry but different. Hopefully no more bending, no matter what stupid predicament I put myself in.

First new vehicle I've ever had.

I drive slow and steady, especially since this is my only vehicle. But I'm rather new to this so I go out as often as I can and learn as much as I can, so I usually hit trails I'm under-qualified for and I make plenty of mistakes. Check out the drag link. Somehow slipping off my line into...

Ah, yes, that would be helpful :) The default setting is to always point in the direction I'm going, but that can be over-ridden. It can always point in the same direction no matter what, or point back to me. Plus, there's a remote that I can manually steer it. I haven't used it yet though...

I know Eddie has already created an awesome video of his Barret Lake run, but I figured I'd add a bit with some video taken on a gimbal. I'm reluctant to post because my editing skills suck so bad that I don't even try. First, a couple of pics. Found a campsite the night before. It's...

All's Well That Ends Well My local installer (Aaron of AxleLine, Reno/Sparks) installed the new gear set. He said it looked like there was an issue with the crush sleeve. There were some gouges on the edges and it looked like it crushed a little off-center. His theory is that it hung up, got...

This is what a loose pinion will do Finally got the replacement gears installed. The optional warranty paid for itself for sure. Now to do the break-in.

Here is the result from the loose pinion. The whole gear set needs replacement.

I went to San Diego last week on vacation and I figured that while I was there I'd re-gear my Rubicon. I had a shop install 4.88 gears and chromoly rear axles. I drove around, did some heat cycles and eventually headed home to Reno. On the drive home I could hear a whine, kind of like the...

I went to Death Valley for a few days of exploration, and one of my goals was to take some pics of the Jeep in the Canyon. Sadly, I have no photographic skills and failed miserabley. I did salvage the ride with a video though, so if you have some patience, here's about 5 minutes of a drive...

What a great thread! There were some seriously cool pics, and it goes to show Wayalife is comprised of many interesting people. My job is nowhere near as exciting as many of these, but I really like what I do - write code for slot machines. And, I can see my Jeep from my window! Yes, us...

Ack! Extra Pyramid Lake shots.

Lost Road Part III. (Last one, I promise!) Now that I've found the lost road, it's time to move on. I guess I know where I am now :-) That's a thermal plant in the distance. They generate electricity from the heat in the ground. This part of Nevada has a lot of thermal activity. That...

Lost Road Part II Still searching for that lost road. I think I'm close though. That's looking west, way into California. That could very well be Mt Shasta. For the way back, I took video. I think this is actually pretty cool. Let's see if I can embed a YouTube video...
