    Hiding/concealing license plates

    Hi all, Here's a question. I see it quite frequently. Folks shoot pics/vids of their Jeep, motorcycle, autocross car, etc etc, but they blur/hide/distort the license plate. Why? I mean, I drive among thousands of other vehicles a week and they can all see it, so it's a pretty public thing...

    Jam nuts

    Hello all, I'm about to upgrade my rear suspension from a Rock Krawler 2.5" Max Travel set-up to the RK X Factor. Here's where I need advice. The jam nuts require 200 foot pounds of torque. Any tips on tightening a jam nut that tight without ruining the finish by using a vice? Kevin Sent...

    Am I being too sensitive?

    I know I can count on you guys to shoot straight, so I have a question. A couple of times on the island, I have had guys in well-built Jeeps overtly blow me off. The latest example: I was on an exit, saw a well built Jeep a couple hundred meters behind me. He quickly made his way through the...

    Had a thought about the "My Rig" tab on profile

    Hello! Is there a way to enable a picture to be uploaded under the "My Rig" tab on our profiles? Granted, several of us have pics as avatars or whatever, but for those that do not, it would be a cool addition, I think. Then, when I stalk people's profiles, I can see what their Jeep looks...

    Longer video of my latest wheeling fun

    Hi all, This video is kinda long (but there are parts you can skip). It's raw video spliced together to get it out there. I'm not a smooth driver, still need to regear and lock, but it was fun. I had some awesome spotters, or I would have never even tried it. It starts out as Jeep point of...

    Hello! ? About King 2.5" Bump stops

    Hello there! So, I have a RK 2.5MT lift and Bilstein 5160s. I'm thinking about installing THESE BUMP STOPS. King's website shows them being used in conjunction with coils (opposed to coilovers). Is that the case? Thank you! Kevin

    What to buy....

    Hi all. I'm about to take a trip for the Army. If I watch myself (eat cheaply), I can pocket close to $3K. It's a long TDY. Very long. Anyway, I wanted to try to get a PR44 by making up the rest out of my savings. Then DW reminded me we are flying back to the mainland twice this year, one of...

    The reasons this forum rocks!

    I just wanted to say, I have been on a few internet Jeep groups, but the mods here do a great job at keeping the BS at a minimum. THANK YOU! Sincerely, Kevin From my Samsung GS4

    Price check

    Hello! Do I pm you guys for an estimate or just toss it up here? I'll read around and see if I can figure out what you need to make it more accurate. Sincerely, Kevin From my Samsung GS4

    Freaking Hawaii Recon Inspection!

    Went to have my Recon inspection done today. I've put it off for two years, but they changed the safety inspections, making it harder to get away with. Why am I miffed? Because the bottom couple of MILLIMETERS, literally, of my WAYALIFE windshield sticker was visible from the inside, so he told...

    Red JKU at Navy Exchange on Oahu

    Hi all, Saw a red JKU at the NEX last night. Had a WAYALIFE windshield sticker. Front doors were off, back doors were on. Anyone know who that is? Sincerely, Kevin From my Samsung GS4

    Another wheeling vid!

    Hello all! Finally got a couple of GoPro cameras and some Jeeps in the same place at the same time. Two problems. It's kinda long (17:30), and it isn't available on mobile because of the music. But, IMO, music-less videos that aren't educational are a little boring. :) Enjoy...

    Bad experience with Bilstein

    Hello all, I wanted to share an experience I recently had with Bilstein regarding the 5160s I installed. First, let me say the shocks are great. Nice ride on the road, great flex on the trail and smooth ride, even at speed, on those main trails we have to take between the fun ones. I’m...

    Upgrade, but a take-off, stay where I'm at?

    Okay, let me throw this out to you guys (my extended Jeep crowd). I am facing a decision. Upon learning my Jeep has open diffs, I have decided I want lockers sooner than later. There is a dude here in Hawaii (who might be on this forum I think) who has a seriously beefed up Dana 30 front end...

    Wheeling video from Hawaii

    So, here is a video from a trip we took out to Peacock Flats here on Oahu. (for the uninitiated, Oahu is plagued by political red tape with regards to off-roading. Most of the reason is for land preservation, which I TOTALLY support because, after all, it's an island. Some reasons, however...

    New Jeeper in Hawaii

    Hello all! I'm a new Jeeper currently in Hawaii. I'm an Army dude, so my time here is limited and it'll be back to the mainland. I'm originally from NC, but call Texas home after being there for seven years and since our kids are still there carrying on their respective lives. I bought my...
