Washed a weeks worth of Moab dust off, under the hood, and inside. Changed the oil because that was about 4000 miles worth of abuse. Recentered my drag link because I tweaked it somewhere on hells revenge and my steering wheel was crooked, and found my sector shaft brace had lost a bolt...
That Jeep looks like it has a $40,000 suspension setup just so it can drive to the same scenic overlook as a rented Nissan Rogue.
You didnāt buy a truckāyou bought a collection of aftermarket parts held together by monthly payments and optimism.
The tires are so wide they have their...
Today we did Engineer pass and Ophir pass. Engineer was sketchy as your still had snow above 12,500 and turning wasnāt the greatest. I freakin hate snow, but I was here so I did it. Much prefer Moab and other rocky places.
This is the method of engagement Honda used for DECADES on their original vtec engines wirh no failures. Solenoid at the end of the head, RPM activates the solenoid and it feeds oil pressure to the pin which locks the high lift lobes.
Itās not the type of engagement thatās an issue, itās got to...
2016, ran to 140k, zero issues (rolled it down the interstate).
2017 ran to 140ish as well, zero issues. Traded in.
2018 ran to 120-130, zero issues. Traded in.
2021, 40k, zero issues. Will replace when it wears out because Iām not buying a new spy on me vehicle once that happens in the next...
Iād look into a 2.5 at most. Honestly until youāre ready to slap the 37ās on it I wouldnāt lift it. 3ā lift on 37ās is a lot, 3ā lift on 35ās looks like you forgot left day.
Split your fenders and run it as is, if/when you decide to slap on some 37ās look into a quality 2.5 like Metalcloak...
If you go watch the baddest tacomas out there, they spent 25000 bucks to get a tire under it that a stock rubicon fitsā¦. Then they go break on gatekeeper at the rubicon and have to ride shotgun with someone else to actually see the trail (that someone else did a solid axle swap).
Iāve owned...
Local colloquialism š¤¦š»āāļø. My bad. Bottom fell out means it rained its ass off, so the stuff Iād planned to do today went nowhere lol.
The sunrider is cool as shit (and seals very well hahahaha)
Any reason why you wouldnāt want to spend the same or less for a stinger head unit? Mine came with the 7ā and at some point thatās most likely what Iāll replace it with.
Mopar car play units are horrible about freezing/locking up with long periods of use. My 18 and 19 grand Cherokee and...
Not bad at all. Stiffer than worn out rocksports, softer than new falcons. I havenāt driven them much yet, but about 10 miles of beat up caliche road to get to the highway and 15-20 miles to the gas station on west Texas ranch road and I was happy with them.
I head back home next Wednesday and...
Stuck some Rock Krawler 2.25ā shocks under mine, my rock sports were tired. I was debating between these, blowing double to get Kings, or trying something totally different. Summit threw the RKās on sale for 550 from 1100 so it was worth a shot to see how I liked them. If they suck, Iāll just do...
I ordered the lifts for every one of my jeeps on the way home from the dealership. They get wheeled pretty often and Iāve been doing it a long time and know the places I like to go so I already know how much lift and tire I need.
There is one built like that in my town. The shop owner also has a Hennessy raptor.
After getting a quote to install a front e locker at 3500 bucks, I figured out how he paid for them š.
I run dynatrac ball joints in my gladiator, teraflex in my last JL and JK, no complaints with either. They have held up to 37ās, 38ās, and 40ās.
Gladiators stop well to begin with, when I needed to put fresh pads on, I just went with some carbon towing pads from extreme terrain and theyāve been...
