A thinner oil will do better in theory at removing heat. MPG also improves, again in theory. Newer engines have much tighter tolerances than those of decades past enabling running these oils. Modern high end synthetics are much improved over oils of the past. With respect to breakdown under load...

I thought about waiting in line for a broc but the problem I had was all the FJ guys I know go or want to go sas lol. Why bother then with the effort! With upgrades coming soon the Jeep platforms shouldn’t feel behind. Particularly infotainment and petrol engine wise ?‍♂️

Welcome back! Whats the plan for the new setup?

How have the falcons held up over all the miles? They say they need rebuilds around 50k miles but I reckon that is a conservative estimate.

Congrats on launching looks like a well thought out design. Can I ask about that propane tank holder I spied in one of the pics I literally am looking foe that exact item currently. Where can I score one? Thanks!

Been running this setup for over a year all sorts off off roading exposed to lots of nasty conditions. Does seem to struggle lately but figure the compressor only has so much life in it and after tens of hours of use maybe can expect a reduction in output? Seemed to also have reduced output on...

Maybe Buy some cheap burrs and see if you can open up the holes and slide it enough to make it fit? I am in the process of removing the twin compressor and mounting the arb air locker activation system after modding the Grimm bracket. With the twin all the options for inner fenders I liked would...

Should be fine sliding just careful about the slamming ?

They sure look great and good build quality is top notch. Did you buy the optional armor? I skipped it and ended up putting some good size bends in mine before shelling out for it.

Gave my Synergy ball joints a squeeze. Used GREASECO lithium grease which more or less seems exactly same as Synergy’s own offering. Used a few squirts of Lucas brake cleaner / degreaser to clean all the gunk off the fittings. Took 20 minutes but half the time went to swapping grease gun over...

Hi fellow adventurers looking into proper storage solution for my 5 lbs flame king propane tank. Pretty sure it is what is called a “Manchester” type tank. Stores outside of cab Easy to install remove tank Quiet on smooth or rough roads Will stay put when hitting the hard stuff I am in the...

The rack is slowly coming together. Got the 3/8” tap two days early as I arrived yesterday afternoon. Was able to quickly tap out the problem threads after which the bolt went in easily. I enjoyed how the right tool applied fixed an issue I banged my head against for a half hour the other day ...

This is what final install looks like its just about touching

Its pretty tight. With the shocks in not sure you’d be able to make it work probably gonna need to drop it out ?

Longer the arm the less the axle moves forward and back for some given travel versus shorter arms. In my mind this could be an expensive but potential solution.

because I have the artec wanted to do some research seeing I can’t sleep worrying about blasting my oil pan ? looks like they have some basic reqs which are 1.5” of lift and 1/2” of bumpstop. So I reckon with what @CrazyCooter is already running you’ll exceed those both. It says JL but this is...

Also just to check does your pan look like this with the recess for axle to snug into? Ok makes more sense now I was trying to do the angles in my head and figure out how the axle move back far enough to contact the oil pan. So assuming with short arms the upswing caused by enough...

I think I have a total of 3” of bumpstop. Its what the teraflex install recommended and its at least 1” too much I come no were near rubbing or binding ifaict. When flexed out at the off road park there is quite a lot of room between axle/truss and oil pan. Idk where the amount needed would be...

Hmm put the Artec truss and friends on my axles last year never had a thought to binding due to it. Other parts like tires would bind way before the truss came in contact with anything. 4.5” lift and 37” tires. Think @CrazyCooter nailed it any suggestions from manufacturers will be far too...

Well got a good ways into building my Go Rhino XRS rack. Spent maybe an hour just unpacking all the parts they do a good job packaging. Like every project I ran into something that needs a little custom work. One of the threads needs tapping on the top bars. Spent way too long trying to get bolt...
