    Don't ignore everyone, buy a good winch!

    Hey everyone! Last weekend I went to the dunes with a friend of mine, and surprise surprise, ended up getting stuck. Now I know I've heard it everywhere, don't buy a cheap winch. Unfortunately I am a student and just could not afford a proper warn at the time of building and I wanted to at least...

    inner axle seal replacement...

    So I just replaced the U joints on my dana 30 axle shafts because they were really bad. Put everything back in, tried to be super careful about putting the shaft back in but lo and behold once I start driving, it's puking everywhere. So tomorrow I'm going to pull them again, and replace my...

    So I guess it's time to replace my x-joints

    (At least I think they're called x-joints?) I did a tire rotation on Sunday and as I had the front lifted I just spun the tire and noticed how bad it really was.. Here's a video of said joint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QfStnoAG5k I can't replace it right now because I'm fairly busy...

    Trucklite LED headlight went out

    Hey guys, after about a year of ownership I noticed my trucklite flickering. I went outside and gave it a little knock on it with my finger and then it stopped flickering and it went out. I know they have a 3 year warranty so I'm sure I'll be fine. My main question is, has anyone had this happen...

    Evo Tire Carrier Specs

    Yep, rotopax mounts mounted to some scrap steel and then strapped down. the notches in the top are to lash them together with a strap and then I got two big heavy duty black ratchet straps that go all the way around the tire. to keep it strapped. The first photo is kind of a mock up of what...

    Evo Tire Carrier Specs

    The only issue with looking at brake lights is when you're directly behind it and close. In any actual driving situation (sitting on the left side of the car) you can always at least see one side. Further, making a third brake light is easy as piss. I made a combo third brake light, license...

    EVO Stinger Question

    I installed mine as well, and I think it was a 3/8ths. Be sure to have a spare on hand though... This is what happened to mine midway through install...

    Are there any dual spray windshield washer nozzles?

    I have a 2007 JK and the single windshield washer nozzle gets the center of the windshield great, but then the rest of it is still littered with bugs. Are there any replacement nozzles that will spray left and right instead of center? Not looking to add two windshield washer nozzles like in the...

    Painting/Powdercoating EVO Tire Carrier

    Just for reference, here's what I use and how the finish looks on it. I love this stuff, very strong and holds up very nicely. Still looks great. Granted, I used an entire can on each of these because they're going to be seeing some abuse. I prefer it much more than the rustoleum truck bed...

    Christarp's slowest build up ever

    Hey guys, so one small thing I did since my last post here was repaint my seat brackets as they were starting to rust, good as new now! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures. Now, as for everything else! I ordered some Truck lites, evo quarter pounder, revolution stinger, and an engo winch...

    Christarp's slowest build up ever

    This is sorta how it looks when it's on the spare. Then I really wanted to add some USB ports into my dash just so I didn't have to carry USB adapters around with me and I'd have them free for other things, so I got to work on that. Came out just how I imagined it would really, You can...

    Christarp's slowest build up ever

    You can see how right now it kinda casts a shadow with the raised lettering on the plate. Oh well, still legal. After this I needed a way to attach rotopax, and I didn't need them there all the time, just when I was on the trails so I decided to make a little thing to hold them beside the...

    Christarp's slowest build up ever

    Finally getting ready to paint everything and put it all together. I used a lot of rustoleum truck bed coating for all of the tire carrier and it looks great and touches up fantastically, but it truly is garbage. It chips if you look at it hard enough. You'll see later I used VHT satin black...

    Christarp's slowest build up ever

    Prep took FOREVER, maybe I overdid it, but I took all that gunk off, wire wheeled the hell out of everything, wiped it down with mineral spirits, put a bit of primer on it, plugged all the holes, and finally masked it all off for final spraying. I do however like the final results, and I...

    Christarp's slowest build up ever

    Soon after I had decided I wanted to get a nice tire carrier that would hold the spare steady and be aesthetically pleasing and look near factory. I didn't want to replace my bumper as well. My fathers rugged ridge XHD tire carrier he had put on at the time was the worst thing ever. It rattled...

    Christarp's slowest build up ever

    Hey guys, I've mainly posted all my stuff in the what have you done to your jeep this week thread, but I figured I'd finally give in and consolidate some stuff for my own thread so I can easily look back and see the kind of progress that's been made! So, let's start at the beginning shall we...

    3 foot or 4 foot CB antenna?

    Hey guys, I'm finally going to get a CB as the place I wheel at has no cell coverage and I'd rather be on the safe side. Now, I'm a complete newbie to CB radios and I was just wondering what your opinions were on the 3' vs 4' debate. I'll be mounting it on the corner of the evo tire carrier, and...

    Difference between aluminium evo bumper and quarter pounder?

    Hey guys, I just found a pretty nice deal on a warn zeon 10S and I remembered it doesn't fit in the evo quarter pounder, but it does fit in the aluminium version evo makes, which makes me wonder why it doesn't fit in the regular quarter pounder. Anyone know what would be required to make it fit...

    What was done to your rig this week?

    What's this thread doing on page 2? Here's a free bump! Just got my soft top on (didn't put on the windows) just to test fit it, windows have never been used! Thanks to my neighbor who basically gave it to me for whatever I had on me at the time he asked if I wanted it!
