instal was very straight forward. Packaging left a little to be desired all the bolt bags were broken open so the nuts and bolts were all through the box. As for the plate lights they use the bezels for the steel bumpers.You still have to grind some ridges off so they snap together. I ended up...
Finally got around to installing my bumpers. Motobilt hammer front and rear. They’ve been sitting around powder coated for about 2 months now, but between vacation, work and normal around the house stuff they got put on the back burner. Besides installing my Quake headlights probably my last...
Once you get your adjustable track bar installed ask around and find out who the local shops use. Some off-road shops may do their own alignments but most farm it out. We have a local Ford dealer that does a huge amount of post trade in lift & tire jobs, also a local “kid” who does huge amounts...
And the origin post was about a bone stock base model, not overland. That was my point, glad you like your overland(definitely not bone stock base model) my point was if I planned on replacing everything and making it a trailered to the trail pure trail/ over landing rig then thats what I would buy.
They are just the most oddly proportioned trucks stock they just look goofy for lack of a better term in purely stock form. I also was between the taco and the gladiator but I’m a big guy and the taco just wasn’t comfortable. Personally I wouldn’t buy any model if I didn’t intend to modify it...
The only way I would buy a pure base model is if I was going to modify it as a full blown dedicated trail/ over landing rig because I knew I was going to replace every stock component regardless. Anybody who says they like the looks of these trucks in stock form save for the Rubi or Mojave are...
I live in western Pa so highway driving is a lot of long gradual uphill grades. My wheel tire combo is decently heavy, 37” STT pros and black rhino Abrams so around 115# each. 80 on the highway is around 2300 rpm and gets me between 19-20 mpg. If there’s a decent headwind it drops to about 17...
So I’m somewhat electrically tarded. I have a set of Quake led headlights and fogs with halos DRLS . Jeep is a sport s with halogen lights. Quakes instructions say I can’t power both DRL halo sets off the factory DRLs without the computer seeing a high draw on the circuit. Can I just run a fused...
Probably installing the Rock Krawler X factor long arm on my old JK. Wasn’t overly difficult, just very time consuming. Lots of cutting grinding and Welding. Or maybe building a CJ from a bare frame bare tub and a couple piles of parts.
37’s purely for smiles. My last Jeep was a JK on 37” mud grappler’s. Thought they looked perfectly proportioned. I think my daughter still harbor’s some animosity from me selling it. So I let her and my wife help me decide what all was going to be done to the JT. They were given the option of...
Like has been said, to do 37’s and to do it right gets $$$$. My suggestion would be if price is the issue do it in stages, buy somebody’s Rubi take offs and 35’s. Save up money buy adjustable control arms, then 3 1/2” springs then 37’s. I live in a hilly area and ended up running my 3.73’s for...
Concur with most others. I am running the 3.5” Clayton ,-18 offset Black Rhinos and Cooper STT. She will track straight and true down the highway at 80mph and not give so much as a shimmy. I’m running my tires at 30lbs in the front and 28 in the rear to get full contact. Also there should be a...
Best would have to be riding around in my great grandpas J10. Green on green to match great grandmas delta 88 or Bombing through the fields and woods with dad in his cj5 when I was maybe 4 to 6
I’m an older fella(50) but my taste in music is pretty broad ranging. Any given day or all in the same day could range from from The Doors or Led Zeppelin to Metallica or Megadeth to Merle or Willie to N.W.A or Lil Jon. And in the rare occasion ya might even catch me listening to some yacht...
My unpopular opinions are in no particular order
CJs were the last “real” Jeeps. Real jeeps died with the metal dashboard. YJ and TJ get honorable mention.
Angry eyes are stupid
Naming your vehicle is ok, plastering it down the side of the hood, not so much, nobody thinks your name is...
Just got mine ceramic coated and so far am very impressed, so much so that we just got our sons new WRX done for his birthday yesterday. We’re buying him the Adams “starter kit” I’ll call it off Amazon. I think it sells for about $130 and comes with everything you need( interior, exterior and...
