    SMORR vs. Flat Nasty?

    Hey Guys; This April I am planning on meeting up with a couple from Ft. Worth, TX area. Halfway between Detroit, MI and FTW. 2-4 days worth of wheeling. While we could move around some and that might be our best bet, I think we'd like to stay somewhere that has enough to keep us busy for a...

    Weight of 2 door JK and Front to Rear weight transfer question...

    Has anyone else weighed their JK? Mine weighed 2540kg./5599.74 lbs. a few years ago! I was near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and happened upon a closed truck weigh station. I drove across and weighed it. WOW. I did a bit of body damage that trip and have since changed out the Bushwacker fender...

    Maxxima 7" Round LED headlights

    I've used several Maxxima products with good results. I just came across these LED headlights. http://www.maxxima.com/products/product_detail/611/7-Round-Dual-Beam-LED-Headlamp.html I prefer their looks as compared to Truck-Lite, Quadratec or JW Speakers. I like that they look nearly stock...

    Evarts, KY vs. Windrock, TN or ??? for a long weekend

    Hello; I haven't been to Evarts, KY in about 5 years. I was riding an ATV then. What are the trails like for Jeeps? Would you recommend any other place for a long weekend in the vicinity of Ride Royal Blue, Brimstone, Coal Creek or Black Mountain? Thanks, Jerry.

    Helmets & Jeeps @ Hatfield McCoy?

    I'm going down to HM for a week with the ATVs. I was thinking of bringing the Jeep and going to Ivy Branch. Has anyone ridden Ivy Branch? Did you have to wear a helmet? If not, where did you put your permit?

    87 vs 86 Octane?

    I'm heading to EJS next week. Trailering the Jeep. 2011 JK. Here in Michigan 87 Octane is Regular. I understand that in Moab it might be 86? I usually fill up before my trips, but was wondering if I should. Will there be any real difference between the 2 octanes at the higher elevations of Utah...

    Rear bump stop replacement, OEM alternative?

    We'll my rear end was sagging :eek: and I destroyed the bump stops. What are the good alternatives to get? I'm pretty sure I don't need any air bumps. Thanks, Jerry.

    Oil at rear pinion bearings

    Because of sagging issues, I've just changed the rear springs from my 3" lift to 4.5" Unlimited. I now need some rear adjustable control arms to rotate the axle up to better align with the transfer case. I was told that I need to be aware of the possibility that the pinion bearing might suffer...

    Upper vs. Lower Control arms to adjust rear pinion angle?

    I need to adjust my pinion angle in the rear. I still have the stock drive shaft, for a while. I've read that it is better to use the uppers to control the angle and lowers to locate the axle. I'd like to know why it is better done that way. It would seem that either would work, unless I'm...

    U-joints, C clip vs. Full circle clip

    Simple question, I hope. ;-) Is the only difference in the U-joint the clip? Can they be used interchangeably? I lost the caps on my new PR44 and ruined the outer stub shaft. Wallowed out the holes!!!

    Moab mudflaps?

    Michigan doesn't seem concerned about mudflaps on our Jeeps. Western states view things differently. Q: Are mudflaps required in the front? I will have them for the rear. Any special dimensions to be legit? Width? Top of tire? Bottom of tire? How far behind the tires can they be mounted...

    Campground for EJS in 2014. Preferences?

    Lots of campgrounds to choose from. Does anyone have any experiences with the Moab campgrounds? Good or Bad. I'm thinking of Riverside Oasis due to the Good Sam discount I could receive. I will have a Truck Camper and Trailer with Jeep inside. Thoughts???

    Posts per page count off.

    Hello. I like to scroll vertically rather than click to the next page. I've set my post per view to 40 per page...no good. It stops at 25. Same thing if I set it to 30...25 then click to next page. Any idea how to make my preferences stick? Thanks a bunch.

    Stock JK suspension measurements?

    I've lifted my Jeep using a 3" BDS kit with a leveling spacer. It's now time to upgrade my axle to a ProRock 44. That got me wondering what my actual lift result was. Here is a pic from Dynatrac, edited, showing the stock front suspension dimensions. I've been unable to find something similar...
