Have 6000 miles on my Falcon 2.1's, still pissed I didn't put them on Day 2 when I swapped on KO2's. SOOO much better than the OEM "Fox" shocks. Only two settings, cold/warm which is soft/firm, set mine to firm. Have to pull the shock and rotate the body to change valving.
The "vehicle...
The old ACE Engineering rocksliders cost NOTHING in ground clearance, and held my truck off the bodywork when I dropped the driver side in a wash. I did about 8 Luke Duke entry/exits through the driver side door window, at my age that required the ground level with the door. No need to lose the...
My wife does NOT like no doors, she's basically given up riding in my YJ. Lots of people don't like a gaping hole in the passenger space. Doesn't bug me, but I'm not everyone.
Tube doors preserve a LOT of the visibility benefits of no doors, while providing a sense of enclosure. It's a good...
This simply isn't true.
My initial "diagnostic" was the 8.4" UConnect rebooting itself. I waited long enough to replace the pony battery the main battery was damaged. Still no indication of a problem from the system diagnostics.
I'd replaced the pony and left my truck at the airport for five...
A pop-up won't go where a Jeep trailer can go, without a lot of effort to make it do things it shouldn't. We like our big travel trailer, but we're LOVING our Jeep trailer. My wife found ours on Craigslist. Just looking, they're out there on the West coast now.
We were REAL close to getting...
Super cool, you did a lot more real wheeling than we did!
The springs that HAD to be there to make the wagon road work still kind of shock me. That's a LONG hike between water holes!
We came down almost 400 miles to a KOA north of Needles that got us right on the border, hopped over to AZ for cheap gas, then up to NV to use the Avi Resort jumping off point, right down the road - "drive toward the power lines, but not past them!"
I didn't turn on the route track on OnX for...
Spring break for my wife this year worked for a trip across the Mojave. I'd done it with buddies RIGHT before we met, back in 2019, and her being a geology nerd, I've been wanting to take the trip with her ever since.
Did the real deal old road this time, starting from Ft Mohave through the...
Main battery is good, cut the pony battery out of the picture and pulled F42. No follow up issues except the nagging about the ASS being in failure mode. Made it across the Mojave no problem.
Having a hard time thinking it's a coincidence.
DEAD dead battery, as in two different jumptstart battery boxes couldn't get it to crank. Full electrics and diagnostics freakout, windshield wipers etc.
The Group 94 Napa AGM I put in last year could have carried it through Friday (in my...
I just replaced a 2nd AUX14 battery after nine months. The electronics wigged out on me refueling in Santa Clarita on my way back from San Diego. ASS dead on the dash, dinged every startup.
Took me a week to order from O'Reilly's, swapped it out through the top in half the time it took me in...
I use a WDH for our travel trailer, but I added Sumo Springs for managing the pintle hitch for our Jeep trailer (~3.5-4K loaded). Works out well.
I've Firestone bags on the shelf, haven't felt the need yet.
I thought I might be hitting a hotkey, but nope - we've been driving on the freeway straight and level, and I've had the swaybar disconnect. No biggie, but it sure doesn't handle like you expect at 70 MPH!
I've had the Eaton TrueTrac in a Ford and now on my YJ, replacing clutch type LSD's, and they are my favorite traction control device BY FAR.
I wish my JTR had an LSD function like that, but the Eaton locking version of the TrueTrac was removed from market a decade or so ago.
We use the rear...
