I think your dealer is blowing smoke. I just talked to my dealer and its not in the order system nor is there any news other than old news about it. Remember this: A dealer can take an order, that does not mean you have a valid order with JEEP, you have just put an order against the dealer's...

EBC brake pads. Got a friend of mine who is a consultant to the auto industry and he owns his company. One of the things they do is a LOT of testing. He tells me EBC is as good as you get. https://ebcbrakes.com/products/brake-pads/

Your Jeep, your $, your pride of ride so do as you see fit: That said 40's and D 44 axles are not going to share a long life and that Jeep engine struggles on 33's. I ran 4:88's with 37x12:50's and considered that adequate. If I was your builder I would have put 5:38 cogs in a set of...

Yea, it came it but wife had decided she wanted to wait on the diesel, way back when. We told our dealer and he said they were going to keep the order any how. I went down and looked at it and it was NICE! We are actually buying this for the business, to pull a trailer. I just ordered a 2020...

I have not tried the Mary's Tacos, heard they are GOOD! Got to give them a shot. I get down off DZ regular in my trips to Costco and Sam's club. That Car wash next to Sam's club is good for a $10 spot and free vacs.

The upgrade cost on the FOX shocks for the JKS kit comes out at $105 per shock and they can be serviced by most shops. I was not telling anyone to not buy a kit, in fact, I recommend several kits, JKS, FCA, Metalcloak depending upon your needs and expectations. In my shop we did not install...

NOTE: The Teraflex is a proprietary shock that cannot (at this time) be serviced by anyone else besides Teraflex. Something to consider when you are a 1000 miles from nowhere and a shock blows out. That said if you don't expect to be a 1000 miles from nowhere and you can just pull over and...

When I had my shop I did not sell or install kits, but rather I used specific parts from various companies that made superior products, LIKE JKS Mfg. I got my control arms and track bar components from JKS. My springs came from AEV. JKS was a component mfg back then and did not sell kits, I...

I will keep an eye out for you up in Boerne. Is your Rubi a JT or and Unlimited model? I am in Boerne 2 or 3 times a week.

The Jeep does not care what gear its in, so dropping down a gear works...

If you want 37's, then 4:88 could well be in your future. I did and never looked back. Your first couple of gears are good juju and well get you up to speed for sure. That 6th gear is all but useless even on the flats...

I was under the impression Max Tow also came with 4:10 gears??? That said I would not spend the coin to go from 3.73 to 4.10. You would not gain enough to justify the $ At 3000 lb max occasionally just live it. REMEMBER the Jeep does not care what gear you drive in. So if you want the...

What is your axle ratio and what are you MT ratios?

I really like the copper-based anti-seize, I use it anywhere I do not want a perm bond, it works exceptionally well. Over many years I have seen a few wheels come off and in every single case, it was traced back to over-tightening with air guns and breaking the bolt loose and over time it...

FACTS JACK: There are 268 MILLION vehicles registered in the US. In the United States, approximately 7 tire punctures occur every second, resulting in 220 million flat tires per year. 60 % of drivers cannot change a flat tire! So a guy in a wrecker shows up with arms like popeye and he does...

Tell us, we are ready to read... Replace with SS bolts and nuts?

This is an age-old discussion with its 2 schools of thought. From the view of the mfg: They are correct and properly speaking yes you torque dry. BUT that is based upon new sanitary installs with new compoents. However, out in the field, the rain, muds, salt corrosion and rust take their...

Hummm, good idea, ya think! Let us hope it is not coming soon to a theater near you...

True, but I do not buy into that line of thought. Here is the issue(s): Salt on roads in the winter, rain all the time. I try to always use anti-seize on those threads, if not then a bit of THIN oil and then wipe the threads clean. Thin-oil (3 in 1, WD 40 or any very light oil will work...

Watching the OP video myu first thought was 'the guy had to be drinking' and I was right. Drinking on a trail run can be deadly, I have seen it so many times. The mangled Jeep, wow, surprised they were even alive. Over the years I have seen several folks die out on the trails, it can be very...
