Update time! Spring break is here and that means camping trip time. Iāve seen āotherā delete/ platform kits but of course I felt it in my power and free time to build my own. Iāll be testing it out the rest of the week in the Gila and make necessary changes when I get back.
I'd start with this website first then: https://www.jeeptheusa.com/ it's got a lot of good trails especially for all levels and you can download the .gpx file onto whatever mapping system you prefer to use. I used it a lot when we went to the Flagstaff/ Sedona area... More importantly have a...
Had it come in a 2 door I'd have been first in line for sure. My lifestyle now and nostalgia for the old Comanche I drove in high school really would be the only two reasons though...
TF has them listed for 1.5ā-4ā of lift and yes it looks severe however after driving with them at this angle I can say I havenāt had any issues at this time, roughly about 1,000 miles at this point.
So lately itās been all about the trails and yesterday wasnāt any different. Some folks wanted something different and so we hit a little more backcountry here in the Las Cruces area. We could not ask for a better day...
And then of course this was this morning...
Yeah weird, when I was living in Lexington I felt like I was back here in Texas with how often I was waving at folks. So to hear that now is disappointing...
I put a rear Ox locker on my '12 and in the year and half with it in I used it three times, twice on the Rubicon and one other time to test it out before we went to the Rubicon. At the time I was going out at least 2-3 times a month hitting trails.
If you're already doing the re-gear though...
I ran a Crawler Conceptz stubby bumper on my '12 for some time. It was a frame chop style bumper and honestly I felt safer running it than a typical frame mount style bumper primarily because it replaced the flimsy front cross member with an extremely stout solid one piece bumper that tied into...
So there I was... I really wish it was an epic story but instead there I was needing a simple car wash. Iāve got one of those unlimited car wash deals and decided to go run the Jeep through at a location Iāve used numerous times. 2/3ās of the way through and I heard a loud clunk and the whole...
For this build I went with the Rugged Ridge HD stubby bumper and RR Trekker winch. I prefer simple utilitarian form over elaborate design and the bumper hits that mark. The RR winch is new to me considering I had a pretty simple Warn 9k on my previous ā12. The features on the winch for the price...
I'm running a 275 in mine, the overall package drew me in to going that direction. So far it's performed exactly how I've needed it too and it's nice not having to spend several days tuning an antennae like I did for a CB. Part of the question should also be the distance in which you need it to...
Got to test out the inner fender liners and Teraflex disconnects last weekend on an outing to Palomas Gap, NM. The weather was absolutely perfect and some great company to boot...
