    JK Stock Right Rear Fender Falre

    JK Stock Right Rear Fender Flare Somehow, last weekend, going through a ravine I managed to stuff snow in the right-rear door handle, completely peel off the right-rear fender flare as clean as if I'd gone in with tools, yet not touch paint. So, need a JK right-rear fender flare. Somewhere in...

    Sno*Blind 2017 Kicks Off

    As night falls, about a dozen rigs in the lot. Dodge Rams are clearly tow vehicle of choice for those who trailered. Registration couldn't have gone smoother. About 106 rigs expected and 220 for the dinner events. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Sno*Blind 2017 Kicks Off

    Sno*Blind, hosted by Mud Chuggers in Michigan, is about to kick off. Arriving early, have grabbed a seat in the lobby to watch, greet, chat with folks. This is one of my favorite parts of an event, meeting new folks, greeting others, and watching what parks under the portico. Shucks, even...

    4k & jkx

    Consolidated from two conventionally res'd, but mismatched computer monitors today, to a single 43" 4K TV. Already does wonders for screen real estate and photo editing. It, also, does wonders for watching JKX vids. The TV upscales the already high-quality JKX vids very nicely. Have to say...

    What's In the Box?

    Bingo! You win the prize. It is a self-contained air horn, Screaming Banshee. This sort of concept has been around for sometime, designed for the tight constraints of motorcycles. What makes Screaming Banshee notable is its control module. The control allows you to configure what it does. By...

    What's In the Box?

    This one is unique enough, I thought it worth throwing out there. I'll provide a couple clues: * Installs forward of the A-pillar * Not a suspension component * Not made by ARB

    Driving in the sands

    Given the conflicting responses, I'm not surprised to see you (or someone) post this type of question. Like most things, there's a lot of variation based on experience, vehicles, and specific situation (e.g. all dunes are not created equal<g>). So, YMMV. My experience is with a mostly stock '15...

    Trail Jeeps

    Here in Colorado, made time to visit Trail Jeeps in Golden. Great guys. Spent over an hour talking lifts, suspensions, armor and more. Even test drove Wes' (owner, competition champ) Jeep as well. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Back to Dealer - More Electrical/onic Issues

    Before I bought the Wrangler, I'd had a few folks warn me about Jeep brand having electrical issues. I've had my own issues already but I've not regretted it one bit. That said, within 3 months, it had to go back because the OEM GPS system failed. Getting it serviced was a dealer-inspired...

    CB Selection

    Toughest challenge sometimes is visualizing how all this will go together. I debated between size and features. In the end, have been happy I went with the Uniden full size/featured unit. After installation, unit size never has really bothered me. Soon, I'll get around to installing a...

    2016 J&K JK Trip - Michigan's Upper Lower Peninsula

    Howdy, Had a great trip north with my wife this past weekend. Toured the Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Leelanau Peninsula areas. Had some rain on the way up but, overall couldn't have asked for better. Especially early October in northern Michigan. As colors start to change, it reinforces...

    The Dunes at Silver Lake

    Had a fabulous time over the weekend. Took my wife and two of my kids to Michigan's Silver Lake ORV Area. What an absolute blast. There's nothing like the work out you get trying to climb a 160' towering sand dune pushing angles of 45 degrees! Angles of attack varied across the lengths. And...

    What was done to your rig this week?

    Doors & Mirrors Finally, got the doors off and installed auxiliary mirrors. Just in time for family outing next weekend to the dunes and nearby state ORV trails. Front doors came off w/o issue. Both rears required leverage. Need to look at them closer before reinstall later this week...

    Moab Waterfall & Similar - Lockers?

    Howdy, Watching Fork Yeah 3, looking at some of the climbs like waterfall, I'm not sure whether some of the tire chirping is just because of tire slippage or lockers being used. Not having rocks like that out est, curious whether folks are using lockers much to climb the rocks, or avoiding...

    ORE - Note of Thanks, Positive Plug

    Wanted to make a moment to thank Theresa, Mel's oldest sister, and Off Road Evolution for taking care of me recently. Before I knew it, an upcoming event got a shade too close. Had about 10 days until departure when I decided to order my armor. I placed the order online but there was no option...

    Key Drivers Behind M/T Tire Replacement

    This will probably generate flames galore, but it's something of a serious question. What are your triggers behind when you replace your tires? With most tires, like an A/T, we can simply run them to the tread bars, or if you're a northerner, until they just are useless in the snow. I tend to...

    Trolley-style Floor Jacks - Recommendations, What Do You Use?

    Here's a topic: Floor jacks. Need to replace my ~15 year old economy jack. Heavy steel thing, not particularly rigid, but did the job. Finally wore it about out. It was already on 'the list' because at 5-3/4" lowered, and 20" max lift, it is now both too tall (1/8") to get under my wife's car...
