    Has anyone done a JKL conversion on their 2 door?

    I've had two friend with JKL conversions. One had a coach builder do it, the other did it himself in his garage. Both came out awesome. Flobuilt provided everything he needed and was there to provide phone assistance when ever he had questions. Because it's unique, adds more interior space...

    Got my first trailer!

    Thats a good looking setup! Are you running bags on the Ram? Prices are insane, and delivery times are even worse. $9,600 OTD was pretty damn sweet on an in-stock unit.

    Got my first trailer!

    I got it from Hay's in Mesa. It was in their Tucson inventory. I built an LPX trailer to my specs with a $16,000 MSRP on the DiamondC website and sent inquiries to 9 dealers between AZ, Southern Utah and the Vegas area. I only got two quotes back, which I thought was pretty pathetic. One from...

    Got my first trailer!

    Thanks fellas. I used to always laugh at the idea of trailering around the Jeep, but the year before last I trailered the Jeep from Phoenix to Moab and man is it so nice doing all those miles in the comfort of my truck. Plus I know if something breaks I can just throw it on the trailer for the...

    Favorite South Park scenes / clips

    There's just so many, but this one really hit home at the time. Seemed like everywhere I went earlier that day had the hard press for donations at the register.

    Light bars

    Came across a short clip from a typical night run. RGB Lux Rock Lights underneath set to Red and Rigid D-Series amber lights up front.

    Got my first trailer!

    After several months of trailers running through my mind morning, day, and night, I ended up getting an in-stock unit from my local Diamond C dealer. I knew I wanted Diamond C because I've become a fan of their build process, growth, and available lineup and options. I've probably built...

    Light bars

    Like others have said, unless you're up front it's best to keep the lumens down, and low. I used to talk all kinds of garbage about lightbars until I rode in rig in the middle of the night working our way through access roads at a good pace. A quality light with a good beam was critical to us...

    Airing Down Devices

    I've had several deflators over the years. From cheap caps that screw on and depress the valve, to mechanically pre-set deflators, and now Power Tank Monster valves. I currently use the regular valve to attach the pressure gauge, and open the monster valve to deflate. Very quick. I think any...

    Rugged duel battery ridge isolation kit

    I ran a dual battery system for a while back before LED lighting was what it is now. Only damn thing those dual batteries were good for is killing batteries two at a time and becoming a fire hazard. I went through 8 yellow top optimas real quick and pulled that crap out. Haven't missed it...

    AUTONOMOUS WHEELING - The Next Big Thing Since Sliced Bread!

    I just can't relate to this concept. Or comprehend the staff who approved to take it this far.

    Aftermarket Seat Install: Seatbelt Air Bag Warning Lights

    I still have my seatbelt and airbag lights on after my aftermarket seats, harnesses, and steering wheel. You get kinda used to it after while. Eventually I'll dig into it and see if I can get them to switch off, but its well down my priority list. From my understanding there's seatbelt...

    38's - Are They the New 37?

    I really hadn't heard of them till the Patagonia tires came around and were getting pushed hard. To me it seemed like a new sales tactic or marketing technique at the time. My guess is If I'm standing there with a choice of 37's or 38's and they're priced the same, I'd just go with the 38's.

    Best roll cage?

    Those guys are spot on with the comments about the strength factory cage. I put a Genright cage in my Jeep the year before last and it's an eye-opener how thick that metal is that's used on the OEM cages. I got the cage because my JK is 12 years old and I don't typically have the top or doors...

    Where to start?

    You will certainly be surprised how capable your jeep is as it sits right now, but if I was starting over I would start looking at lift/wheels/tires. That's assuming you already have basic tools, recovery equipment, a high-lift jack, and recovery points on your vehicle in front and back since...

    Aftermarket seats

    The constant chime is turned off, but I haven't addressed the airbag and seatbelt lights yet. Maybe I'll get to it at some point this year, but it's low on my priority list. A google search for turning the "wrangler seatbelt chime off" will pull up the procedure.

    DYNATRAC SAFETY RECALL on 1550 Steering Knuckles

    My replacement knuckles arrived yesterday. This whole thing is certainly unexpected and inconvenient, I'm grateful it was posted here for those of us yet to be contacted. I think $245 is reasonable. This isn't $xxx/hr caliber work, but good shops that charge higher fees are justified, so I...

    DYNATRAC SAFETY RECALL on 1550 Steering Knuckles

    They got it all handled pretty quick. I got the invoice same as above. My tracking info says they'll deliver in two days. Also got this when I inquired about the changes: "The Replacement knuckles will be IRON not Aluminum. None of the upgrade features that were designed into the 1550...
