I don't know about KMC beadlocks other than they look good. I do think the downsides are generally overstated having run beadlocks (AEV) for several years. Mine balanced far better than the stock rims and tires with 1/4 of the weight. Installation was involved but not difficult. I did it myself...

Jack Burton sums up my feelings on this…

Let’s us know how that goes. That’s one of my next trips. I’m curious how the ferry situation works, how the bugs are, etc.

Yep. Motul was off my radar until I started doing performance driving. It’s ubiquitous on the track. I’m not convinced the Porsche guys aren’t drinking it.

You misunderstand. I have no idea what comes in the transmission from the factory. Subaru has long history of poor assembly line practices. They don’t properly clean the transmission on the GT86/BRZ, so they get to the customer full of shavings, slag, etc. ideally, you flush the transmission...

I think Ozark runs an Atalier https://www.atelierxa.com/ but I don’t see that they ship to the U.S. I was going to order one as I don’t know when I’ll next be in CA. You can call them. I just installed an Overland Gear Guy one. They say in the instructions that it can scratch the paint. But the...

Fun Motul Story: I wanted to switch to Motul gear oil in my transmission on my GT86 back when I had one. The Subaru transmission is a mess that comes loaded with debris from the factory and it was hard to get the car into first sometimes. It’s widely documented that a simple transmission oil...

The dealerships use Mopar branded stuff for everything and if they didn’t, they’d be in trouble with Stellantis. Traditionally, on most parts, from wiper blades, to air filters to brake pads, I’ve never found even reputable brands to work or fit as well as the OEM part. And yes, those OEM parts...

Garmin Power Switch: Dead simple installation Small footprint You can run multiple units They take input wiring for conditional switching No control panel to wire through the firewall I can control everything from my phone or through CarPlay or Android Auto or Garmin GPS

https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/were-in-a-beachy-mood-show-us-your-rig-on-sand.83638/post-1357714 I’ll add that apparently the prefilter bearings can wear out, like anything else. Mine are going strong so far. It also ends up being a place to tie off the front of the awning...

Way back in the day, OBX as a whole had a small beach town vibe. It was desolate and beautiful. Over the years it’s gotten so built up and touristy, it’s a little overwhelming. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still fun to rent a beach house in Nags Head for a few weeks. But if you are looking for...

I bought an Overland Gear Guy tailgate bag before realizing that my fridge and slider won’t clear the mounting panel’s clips with my tailgate cover in place😩. I made some mods to make it work. I cut the OGG mounting panel and secured it to the underside of the tailgate cover with screws. The...

This is the 3rd Jeep and 3rd generation of Jeep I’ve had with one, but the pre filter and driver side mount is new to me. It’s definitely louder and it makes a vacuum cleaner wooshing sound with the window open. With the windows closed or with everything open on the interstate you don’t notice...

My JK top leaked like a sieve. The Leak Dr. at my local dealership fixed it. I agree with others to make sure both the top itself and the freedom panels are correctly aligned, but who at the dealership looked at it? Was it a specialist or just some random idiot? The Leak Dr. has a whole...

Years ago, when I bought my TJ from AEV it came with a slip yoke eliminator. The rear t-case seal leaked. That seal had to be broken in order to install the slip yoke. Those kits actually replace the rear of the t case and reuse the seal. The dealership contacted Jeep and they approved the...

For fellow beach bums, do y’all notice this one weird occurrence when beach driving? My old man used to go down to OBX in the 70s. He had the first model Jimmy and told me about this phenomenon. I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s understandable if you’re fishing at the point on HI, but it’s funny...

I love it down there. I wish we could camp on the beach. I’d buy a StarLink and never leave. It’s funny. People I encounter in Costco parking lots, at gas stations, etc who see my Jeep are always asking me the same thing “are you preparing for the apocalypse?”. I can’t overstate how often people...
