I didn’t weigh it for this specifically, but I think I was around 7k. I did pull out as much unnecessary stuff as possible for this (though I carried my stock front axle shafts as spares since I recently installed RCVs - that was an extra 100 lbs of unnecessary dead weight). Honestly, it...

I wonder if I'm the first on this thread to haul an ACCC across the Rubicon... (I tried thread-search but we all talk about our Rubicon Jeeps and Rubicon parts so much, it's useless.) Anyway, my first time; and my buddy that rode shotgun, it was his first time off-roading at all so he went...

Sorry to necro-quote myself, but this turned out to be mechanic error (me. I'm the mechanic.) The Falcon shocks have a bottom mount that's slightly offset from the center of the shock shaft, to give a little more clearance between the shock body and the coils. Unless some moron installs the...

I did the same, forgot to engage before disassembly. If you got the c-clip off and back on, you’re good. Not really anywhere else for the parts to go. Just test after you’re done, and GTG

Might as well drop this here - I ran the Rubicon this past weekend with the CavFab steering setup on my heavy JTRD. Got some new scrapes on the drag link (stock low steer position). Steering remains straight and solid, got right on the freeway with no change from before the Rubicon. (Mine...

@2021JeepGladiator I have the Teraflex extended rear travel kit on my overloaded JTRD. I think it's a good quality kit for the money, the brackets are well machined and sturdy, the sway bar replacement kit does the job, all the extended bits you need are included. Install wasn't too hard, all...

Yes, it should work on your Jeep. Make sure you're plugging in via cable to the USB under the "MEDIA" cover in the center dash. Might have to try a few USB cables, perhaps you have a charging-only (no data) cable mixed up in there

Just for fun I made up a photo album of all the new underbody scrapes from The Rubicon: https://photos.app.goo.gl/H6ctb3rFTbkzYNgJ6 Plenty of hits but no body or door damage, nothing broken, still steers well and tracks straight. TBH I'm pretty happy with myself for over-prepping, and this...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/rJc3SajFYPWkGjbB6 Been a while since I posted anything here. I ran the Rubicon Trail this weekend. Success! Far too many photos in that album above (my buddy and I are both shutterbugs). That buddy I brought to ride shotgun, it was his first off-roading trip which...

I have Clayton 3.5” springs, which yielded more like 4.5” front lift on my truck. The lower control arms were at a pretty steep angle to the ground in the stock frame-side mounts. I added drop brackets to reduce that angle and there was an obvious improvement in drivability. Better small bump...

my thinking too. I have an Alu-Cab Canopy Camper, very well sealed with side and rear door seals, sikaflex sealant along all the joints and various gaps and drains in the bed, and I don’t have a dust problem

Rekeying the plastic cylinders (glovebox, center console, under seat box) is easy as a DIY. I wouldn’t pay a locksmith for those, just watch some videos and figure it out. I did it once to add a Mopar keyed locking fuel cap using these instructions: (I can’t speak to rekeying the doors or...

Great question, and good examples of where not to keep it. Places I’ve kept my gear in the past that I wouldn’t do again - at the very back of a pile of all our gear such that we had to fire-sale everything out onto a snowy trail to get it, and under a tilt-up seat with dogs on top if it...

Not much. The front reservoirs are a little shorter, as the standard gas reservoir would bump into the diesel’s aux battery. I have no idea if they actually changed the damping on the diesel shocks compared to the gas shocks. Ordinarily you’d expect the shock for a heavier rig with heavier...

care to elaborate on the mishap? Might help others avoid mishaps in the future. Thanks

@813 Fabrication & Design has one in the works (this vid looks like for the single, but their website references new designs coming for twins too)

Sunnyvale here. Hollister is worth a trip, plenty of challenges if stock and an interesting obstacle park at the entrance By the time you’re a bit built up, there might not be too much challenge left. Except one outlier trail (Tank Traps) that’s basically fully built rock buggy only I...

I actually took this when the local place lost the “j” on their sign, hilarious and accurate

With my 37s (Yoko X-AT) I’ve found that if I don’t deflate all the way, it won’t nestle between the rails. Even then, if I deflate to say 5 psi at my home sea level, and drive to elevation (where most of my off-road trips are) the tire will have pushed out below the rail on one side. So now I...

@WILDHOBO didn't you have the 1500 springs on your rig?
