Hardest mod yet. Not in terms of difficulty but drilling 58 holes in the body of my truck hurt my soul. Ok, not really but I've been sitting on these armor panels for almost a year because I just couldn't bring myself to purposely poke holes in the sides of my truck. I finally worked up the...

Out of curiosity I wanted to know the true weight of my rig as it's currently built. I realize replacing parts is replacing weight but for the most part aftermarket stuff is heavier. My rig started out as a 21 Willys with 3.6 and auto trans. The highlights of what weight I've added vs OEM are...

A few weeks ago I installed a full belly skid system from Next Venture Motorsports. Ever since, I am having a very difficult time getting the gas tank all the way to full, meaning it will fill up and click off and I can virtually dribble 3 more gallons. I can eventually get it full but it takes...

This random post popped up on my FB feed and I was intertained enough that I thought I would share. These are 49's!!

Has anyone else had issues/delays in getting Dynatrac ball joints or other Dynatrac items? I ordered a set from @Northridge4x4 on 11/26. In thier defense they were not in stock with an estimated ship date of 1 to 2 days. I figured they would just drop ship from Dynatrac. Dynatrac has them in...

So in the interest of a more informed forum membership, I'm going to share my $400 lesson in ideocracy. Over the last few months I've mentioned slightly loose or drifty feeling steering response after a kind of hard sideways impact on a trail. Hard enough to knock my steering wheel on a 45...

Long story short, my buddy has a 20 Rubicon. Trans started a high pitched whine that turned into bucking and slamming between gears. He takes it to the dealer that tells him trans needs replaced. The useless 3rd party extended warranty is denying the claim because he can't prove he changed the...

I didn't find much in the search on this. 2020 Overland has had the doors off for the last 6 weeks. Put everything back on for the ride to Jeep Invasion and both rear windows don't work with either set of switches front or rear. The front windows work fine. I did find the windows are on a...

A few months back I purchased the Morrflate 4 tire inflation hose kit. The build quality is about the best I've ever seen. It was quite pricey compared to some others out there but you get what you pay for (most of the time). So 2 months ago I got in on a pre order for a new compressor they were...

There's too much information (misinformation) out there regarding the aux delete. This whole process seems very simple but yet the results seem to vary depending on who is writing the thread. It doesn't help that FCA decided to change the grounding on the 21's and up which just adds to the...

On my last off roading adventure a few weeks ago my truck took a side impact on the driver side front axle with the wheels turned. Nothing horrible but but was enough to knock the steering wheel on a 45 degree angle. I assume the tie rod somehow managed to jump a thread and I corrected it after...

After the last few wheeling adventures, all 4 of my fender flares were broken in one way or another. The last trail took out my passenger turn signal. I'm not ready to drop $1600 on the Moto Built fenders I want so I did some chopping today. I was able to cut out 95% of the broke stuff and...

Hard day of wheeling on Sunday at Stoney Lonesome OHV in Bremen AL. but we had an absolute blast. Broke both back fenders, one tail light, bent the front fender LED bracket down, knocked the tail pipe out of one hanger and broke another one clean off, tweaked the exhaust enough that it loosened...

I got some powder coating done today and I must say the results are great!! Well for me anyway!! Took me 2 days to get that red Rancho powder off!!

As many of you know, I swapped my complete axle assemblies out of my 21 Willys and installed Rubicon axles with 5.13 gears. I've been running these for a week and have very quickly acclimated to the new feel of all that low end torque. Needless to say I'm very impressed and happy with my...

Not a JT but this is funny!! And I absolutely can relate to the color joke.

I have completed the Rubicon 5.13 axle swap into my Willys today. It all went off without any complications and I'm happy with the job. I realized 2 nights ago I had the wrong Dana 44 wire harnesses and had to order the correct ones. So I'm still waiting on those to show up but the wiring into...

As the title says, we wheeled Cumberland Gap KY/TN/VA over the weekend. Wow what a cool place to be!! We wheeled hard for 2 days and didn't do too much damage. Bashed in my driver Rocker a little, knocked out the passenger tail light (again), rolled the harmonic damper ring off the rear diff...

We finally recieved our new pre public release TN Jeep plates. I think it's cool our state has done this.

So I got the new ball joints installed today. The new Rockjock high steer knuckles are in transit from Cali so hopefully they show up Monday. My biggest challenge is going to be finding the time to swap these axles.
