Living in Florida and going off-road means sand and more sand and my experience in the diesel Rubicon has been fairly extensive albeit with A/T tires (until recently.) Crawl mode in 4L with lockers locked has not worked on sandy inclines at all but a running start has. I will as soon as the...

I had heard otherwise somewhere. Didn't care enough to investigate which is why I qualified my remark with "pretty sure." But the point still stands there's not much difference in startup times and the 3.0 carries extra weight which may or may not benefit in this scenario. In my experience...

Pretty sure the 3.6 has a faster 0-60 than the EcoD. Then you've got all that extra weight to lug uphill. Whatever the 3.6 lacks in torque, at least on the Rubicon it makes up for in gear reduction.

Got a li'l nekkid and went to the beach with my Honey. On the way home we stopped at a karaoke bar for late dinner and karaoke. Did pretty good with the Toby Keith but struggled a bit with some lines from "Brand New Man." Goose Island IPA, but not too cold. Out of fridge into a heavy room...

Lowering the pivot points aka rear control arm joints, effectively corrects axle geometry in relation to the frame, without changing control arms, as long as the additional length of the springs are commensurate to the length of drop on the brackets. What it doesn't correct are the other...

Give em a call.

Of all the folks I've dealt with, Extreme Terrain, a third party supplier, and Teraflex, have been absolutely stellar in their responsiveness. If you're up for it, try cutting the nubs off the upper isolator and rotating it to see if it will straighten the spring out. On my diesel the factory...

Check out the size difference between the front and rear calipers. If the braking was distributed equally we'd often lock up the rears as all the momentum shifts to the front.

Should have a part number on them and confirm that top and bottom pads are properly indexed

Ooh that's bad. I had to fight some Skyjacker springs to keep them from touching the bumpstop tube and playing a tune when compressed. Before: I handled it, (not to complete satisfaction) by replacing the base coil pads with Daystar correction pads and cut the bevel out of the upper...

As a fellow Floridian (to the OP) the answer is probably maybe. That setup looks nice! When rooting around in the mud and soft sand, 4L is more of a handicap.

It all depends on where your caster angle ends up. Yes, most aftermarket control arms are a bit beefier though I haven't seen any factory CA failures in the 2 years+ I've been into this stuff (and yet I've heard of bushing failures in a couple aftermarket versions,) this probably wouldn't...

4x4 Rescue/ Stuck In Florida 4x4 on FB. Pages are sponsored by Rhino, USA. They sell recovery gear. They're in other states too. It's a network of volunteers offering free recovery.

If that's the case, then you have a badunit.

(Not necessarily directed at the OP, but the general sentiment on this board.) Unless someone can explain to me, the necessity of driving in 8th gear constantly at highway speeds as long as the RPMs are where they should be, is necessary for transmission health, what is the problem? By my...

Participated in another Jeep recovery in Richloam WMA. These guys blast through the puddles not having a clue how deep they are then they get flooded. Jeep was out of the hole but wouldn't start. No less than 7 vehicles showed up in the middle of nowhere to help these guys out. It's nice to...

Took around 10 minutes to air down the other day using the little preset screw in jobbies, and then somewhere between 20-30 minutes to air back up after the deed with my Milwaukee battery air compressor and a manual chuck. So I put together a list on Amazon for about $110 for the parts to make...

I can't find button mapping instructions on the Z Auto website. Link? There is a learning curve to this thing. I had fun with it the other day but the drawbacks definitely outweigh the benefits.

Hater, lol. You'll do good to mind your own feet, thank you.

Wasn't transparent on mine at all, but in a good way except for times that I would call for to spin the tires and it wouldn't then I curse the traction control and turn it off and get half my motor back.
