I got some powder coating done today and I must say the results are great!! Well for me anyway!! Took me 2 days to get that red Rancho powder off!!

As many of you know, I swapped my complete axle assemblies out of my 21 Willys and installed Rubicon axles with 5.13 gears. I've been running these for a week and have very quickly acclimated to the new feel of all that low end torque. Needless to say I'm very impressed and happy with my...

Not a JT but this is funny!! And I absolutely can relate to the color joke.

I have completed the Rubicon 5.13 axle swap into my Willys today. It all went off without any complications and I'm happy with the job. I realized 2 nights ago I had the wrong Dana 44 wire harnesses and had to order the correct ones. So I'm still waiting on those to show up but the wiring into...

As the title says, we wheeled Cumberland Gap KY/TN/VA over the weekend. Wow what a cool place to be!! We wheeled hard for 2 days and didn't do too much damage. Bashed in my driver Rocker a little, knocked out the passenger tail light (again), rolled the harmonic damper ring off the rear diff...

We finally recieved our new pre public release TN Jeep plates. I think it's cool our state has done this.

So I got the new ball joints installed today. The new Rockjock high steer knuckles are in transit from Cali so hopefully they show up Monday. My biggest challenge is going to be finding the time to swap these axles.

I know the front and rear driveshafts are weighted for balance and must be correctly oriented. Does anyone know if they are phased to the differentials or trans/t-case? Or is it to eachother? If it is to the diff's I'm not sure how to know the orientation when I install the f/r axles. Just...

So 3 days ago my U-Connect starts dialing my own phone EVERY time I start the truck. The phone doesn't even show an active call but the U-Connect screen sure does. And it has everything muted as normal when a call is in process. I hit the end call button on the steering wheel or screen and all...

So to add to my Rubicon 5.13 axle swap project, I was given the great and correct advise to upgrade my steering linkage components. So I ordered Rock Jock Currectlync components and they were waiting on me when I got home. Eye candy, enjoy.

As the title says, what are the pro's and con's? Now is the time before I install my D44's.

A couple weeks back I was conversing with the group here about lockers and my need/want to have some. Well I found some. Turns out I ran across a deal (I think) on some Rubicon take off axles. 19000 miles on the pair and 5000 miles on the 5.13 Spicer gears that are in them. These were built by...

Ok maybe slightly misleading but it is what the title says it is. Seriously though, my youngest grandson turns 3 in a couple weeks and I put this together for him today. My little guys main TV request is to watch Jeeps on YouTube. He LOVES them. He asked me this morning if he could have a Jeep...

Anyone using these or have experience with OX lockers? I kinda like the manual capability option.

I have a 21 Willys with a LSD in the rear and an open diff up front. I will eventually install lockers as that is the one and only regret I have about buying a non Rubicon JT. My question for the masses is should I install 1 locker up front and leave the LSD as is or bite the bullet and double...

Got the front Fishbone inner fenders on yesterday. I'll get the rears installed this weekend.

So we got out and played a little at AOP in South Pittsburgh TN (near Chattanooga) yesterday. It had been raining so it was a little sloppy. About half our group had to be winched up the hill. The JT handled it like a boss!

I realize this is a Tennessee specific post but wanted to share the design of the Jeep plate that is about to be made available to us Tennesseans who want a Jeep plate. The top one is the standard issue example and the bottom one represents what the personalized plate will look like. These are...

So I installed the JKS disconnects earlier this week and decided I really need to see my truck flexed for the first time. Who wouldn't think that's cool, right?? Anyway here's some virgin flex shots, lol. Looks like a little rubbing may be in my future.

I haven't seen alot of options for door off mirrors so I thought I would share what we use for our JT's. Got these knock off Harley mirrors on Amazon for around $40 for the pair. The included studs are barely long enough so I bought some 4" long m8 all thread and cut them to the proper length...
