Great! What shocks? Not likely anything of the quality compared to what you would get with 7k to budget.
Same goes for the compressor. 2.2cfm is less than the basic single ARB.
what’s the life expectancy of an air system over steel springs?
7k is still a lot for what this buys you in both...
Living in the southwest (minimal rust issues) I see a ton of older Jeep’s. Hell I saw a “work truck” CJ with a ladder rack and ladders on top the other day! Still plenty of older Jeep’s on the road but I think this is largely to do with the simplicity of these vehicles.
I second this. I’ve taken mine on many trips through serious snow/snowstorms from mountain passes, general off-roading, and Highway and they perform exceptional. I’ve got over 20k miles on mine now and after three rotations they are still great tires. I’m currently on 35x10.5 but am considering...
This is exactly like the fallacy of perceived violence. We associate risk/fear based on how visible and “scary” something is rather than on true risk factors and likelihood. IE: People are far more scared to fly in a plane versus drive in a car despite the statistics pointing to the greater risk...
In the photos of the truck it looks like the passenger side with the “foot solutions” and “shear reflections” behind. He also stated he was driving East in the parking lot which would lead me to believe he turned right off of Thunderbird.
So this happened at this address: 6750 W Thunderbird Rd, Peoria, AZ 85381
Based on street view the nearest entrance that could have been used was almost 100ft from the point of impact leading me to assume the story was leaving some information out. I find it hard to believe they turned left and...
There is no option to add the steel rear bumper on the rubicon when building on jeeps website at least on the landing site I get. (USA) it’s standard on all of the rubicon’s I have seen and was standard on mine.
This is where I would start as well. Anything over 3” and you really need to check driveline alignment with your drive shafts and carrier bearings. The excessive angle and shift in friction with deceleration could be the cause.
I would also add, a 3.5” lift can often result in a true 4”+...
That area does have a small pull out but a good portion is only wide enough for 1-2 vehicles. I would bet they had to close the entire road down to get that rig in there. There are sections where someone has to backup to allow the other car through on many trails in the area.
This type of...
It’s not always about how technical a trail is as much as the consequences should something go wrong.
Most of the roads that comprise the “alpine loop” area have sections like this. Even milder trails like engineer and mineral springs have drop areas where death is the most likely outcome...
