This was a great trail with some great folks. We decided to go for another Badge of Honor and headed out to the trail early. After airing down we fell in behind a group and notice we recognized several Jeep from some of the official trail runs with the Red Rock 4x4 club. We were invited along...
Hi All,
After some minor damage to the LCA area (see picture) on Poison Spider so I am considering skid protection. I am looking at
Rusty's Rear Lower Control Arm skids but wanted to see what other have/are using.
If any of you are using @Metalcloak undercloak system I wanted to know if you...
After a few official trail runs it was time to earn some more Jeep Badges of Honor (BOH) Lost World was a special BOH for this year which was cool. This day started out with a scenic trail with views of the Monitor and Merrimac Buttes with the intimidating looking Wipeout Hill. I watched a...
Monday the 14th was the last of the Official trail runs. I wanted to get back into the swing since it had been awhile since I was truly off-road so the first three days were organized runs. At the end of the trail we decided there was just enough time to earn one of the new Jeep badges of...
On Sunday 4.13 did another official trail run to Jax Trax. We had a good time learn some more about my Jeep and met more great folks that I hope to see next year.
Finally getting around to posting some photos. We had the perfect first EJS trip. Made lots of friends who I hope to see next year. Learned more skills and earned several Jeep Badges of Honor.

On the trail
Well, EJS is almost here, and I thought I would post some BOH and other trails I am considering. I hope to find trail buddies who want to earn a BOH or just enjoy the trail.
Here is my current plan. We can do one or more depends on a few variables.
My general plan is to get an early start...
All, Post lift, I want to correctly aim my headlights. I read one article that said, per DOT standards, measure to the center of your headlight and mark that on a wall. Shine headlights at the wall from 25 feet away and the top of the beam should be 2.5 inches below. In a video by...
I was thinking it might be good to meet some local folks. Maybe even get a NORCAL group together. My main goals are earn some more badges of honor and learn\improve 4x4 skills... and have a great time.
Just had a 3.5 GC lift installed and had it aligned. It was suggested to me that 6 to 6.5 is ideal. Currently it is 5.8. Question is this close enough. I did not want the guys at the Big O take thing apart to try to adjust without knowing the torque specs and letting the lift settle in.
Thoughts?
Looking for some folks with experience with the current gen. I see it as extra insurance as it is not an expensive part https://metalcloak.com/jl-wrangler-stock-differential-cover-skid-plate.html
I have read and been told aftermarket HD diff covers are a better option but I am not sold on...
Looking for some general feedback from folks experience in what you felt was the number of days to attend EJS. I understand there are many individual variables but in general how many days seems optimal.
Cheers!
Thanks in advance.
I have a Mojave and am looking at lifts. I am currently running 35's and want to see what it might look like with a the additional height.
I did see some old posts and there was only one decent photo. Hope to see more. Share em if you got em.
Thanks in advance!
On the driver home last week from Moab I was thinking what upgrades would help on the next trip. A few things came to mind the last of which I need some advice.
Upgraded compressor hose from single to four. I might also upgrade my MESA to a MOAB with the hyperflex
Considering a front bumper...
Hi All,
We had a great trip met some real great folks and had a blast. The temps did get to about 102 later in the day be we did start early. Here are a few photos to share.
I am really glad I bought a hitch slider from 41.22 as you can see from the photo. I also included a "battlefield"...
Hi All,
Decided to pick up an H3r Halguard 🧯 since they are having a sale for the 4th. While not optimal for several reasons its going under the backseat. Looking for a way to mount\store in the cab that is not in the way.
They do sell a seat bracket but looks like it is in the way. Anyone...
Hi all,
I want to mount the MXT575 on the passenger side of the center console (that is where the bracket is currently installed). The included wire harness is to short to attach to the battery and run across the engine bay. By the time I route across to just about the access port in the...
I have a few days off and plan to drive to Moab for the first time on or about the 15th. Just posting here to see if anyone else is going to be there at this time.
Hi All,
Looking for some suggestions on what I can use to secure and help route my antenna cable. I am running it down from a bed mount along the bed wall i.e. between the best and the cab. The along the frame\factory rock slider then up through the firewall.
Midland says don't use zip ties...
Thinking of a low cost table option to use with Trails Offroad (currently testing) or similar apps. Currently looking at a Galaxy A9. Additionally, holder options that would fit the tablet and with the 67 Designs rail I have if possible.
Using the maps on the phone is just a bit hard to...
