    Alpine/Engineer Pass vs Imogene, Ophir?

    Just hoping for a "difficulty" ranking. I did the Alpine Loop today, and I plan to do Imogene tomorrow and possibly Ophir later. I found Engineer Pass relatively easy, nothing too technical, but there were a couple moments that didn't feel great (nothing alarming or sweaty palms), mostly...

    Are these drop brackets?

    I bought a 2011 JK in 2013, so for that period I don't know what was done to it, I was looking at the rear and this stood out to me as after market, but I'd like to consult the experienced people. The Jeep had a 6" lift, and I'm now at 2.5". If this is a spacer/drop, can I take it off?

    Was my alignment done properly?

    Hey guys. I changed my lift from 6" (at purchase) to 4", then just recently to 2.5". Since then I've replaced my front adjustable trackbar twice, tie rod, drag link, and added adjustable front upper and lower control arms, drive shafts, basically everything underneath the Jeep beyond the frame...

    Black Bear Pass - Any way to know when it's open?

    I'm planning a trip for my final days in Colorado. I'm hoping on doing the Alpine Loop, Imogen, Ophir, and Black Bear. Unfortunately it seems that Black Bear doesn't open reliably, and my trip is from about 1-6 Jul so I'm hoping I can find a way to know when it'll be open before my trip starts...

    Trasharoo alternatives?

    I've been reading a lot about the Trasharoo quality being substandard (at least lately). I'd like to buy a similar bag so I can pack my trash and whatever I find, but I don't want to waste money on something that's going to fall apart. Is there a recommended alternative? I was looking at this...

    Positive post in fuse box loose and spinning

    So I was dicking around in my fuse box and apparently broke loose the positive post in the fusebox, and when I try to tighten the nut, the whole bolt spins. This isn't a HUGE issue for now, because the car still runs, but the connection isn't tight so I can imagine I'm going to have issues down...

    Safe to run no steering stabilizer at all?

    From most of my research it seems the consensus is that you don't *need* a stabilizer at all if your alignment is dialed in, and some say that the stock one is fine for most cases. However, I replaced the stock one a while back with a shitty dual stabilizer thinking it would fix my problem, but...

    Pulled axles to replace ujoint, now driver side leaking diff oil

    Hey all, 2011 JK I had to replace my front ujoints and now I'm leaking diff oil out of the drivers side axle. Did I mess something up, or are my seals done?

    Replacement axleshaft u-joint for 2011 JK Sport?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to order a pair of axleshaft u-joints for the stock D30 but I'm getting so confused about the different sizes. Do I want a 1310, 5-760X, something else? I have no clue.

    NSG370, normal play/sound in input shaft?

    Hey guys, Pulled my transmission because I've had a rattle for a few years. Thought it was the TOB so decided to do the clutch as well. Got the bellhousing off a few minutes ago, and I'm hoping someone could tell me if this play and sound in my input shaft is normal or if the whole thing is...

    2011 JK - Replacement Exhaust Bolt/nuts?

    Hey guys. Just pulled my exhaust today so I can drop the transmission. The exhaust bolts at the manifold were a pain in the ass and I want to replace them with something better. The one I'm talking about is the one with the square nut up at the manifold. Any recommendations for replacement?

    Is this noise the TOB or Input Shaft?

    I can replace the clutch/TOB without too much headache, but replacing an input shaft is new to me so I'd rather not just for "peace of mind". At idle in neutral it makes this sound. If I hit the gas it gets louder/faster. If I put some pressure on the clutch pedal it goes away. I'm thinking...

    EVO tire carrier bent

    Got my tire carrier today. It looked good so I threw it on. Tried everything that I can, but I can only get three of the four johnny joints lined up on the mounts. The fourth one is off by about a 3/4"...don't think there's anything I can adjust to get it to line up unless someone knows...

    Could use some diagnosis help with my clutch [Video/Audio]

    Clutch is making some pretty fantastic sounds. Current clutch is an OEM replacement from a couple years ago, less than 15,000km on this clutch. I ordered a centerforce throwout/release bearing, and I'm probably gonna order a new Luk Clutch Kit (01-046) since I'll be in there anyway. Just...

    Hood-side custom decals?

    Where do you guys get your decals for the hood (on the side, where you'd have Rubicon or something similar). Looking to replace mine and don't know of some recommended places to order from.
