My wife hated the...

    OX Lockers

    I have ARB front and rear. My concern about the lines made me perhaps super cautious on line locations. On my JT the rear line is sleaved with a rubber hose from the body directly down to the axle. The line is then running directly to the frame and into it on the drivers side. The line runs...

    EVO 2.5 plushride spring alignment

    I replaced the lower index pads with metalcloak.... same as what the others mentioned, the stock ones are a little suspect. I don't have any bow in the front springs... as it was also mentioned... don't tighten your arms and such all the way up, drive it around the block, let it all settle in...

    Onboard air.

    I've used the single ARB with Eddie's mount for about two years now... works great! Some had concern about the compressor being too close to eghaust heat... I cut and trimmed a peice of alum. that made a barrier around the engine side of the compressor from the frame about 14x8 inches. that...

    Anyone installed the EVO Overland Control Arm Brackets?

    I have the same lift.... have loved the highway manners of the drop down brackets. No grinding. I had a sport to begin with so I did add a spacer to the front to clear 37's when flexing. It does pretty well! The rear springs were a little too soft when loaded down and trail running at the same...

    So I did change out the springs to the 4.5 inch HD plushrides from evo. I formerly had the 2.5 inch with a 3/4 inch spacer... The height of the springs on the ground next to one another... were 2 1/2 inches apart. So with the spacer factored in... 1 3/4 inch gain. With them being the HD...

    I should mention the solar panel worked great keeping the stock batteries full even when the fridge was working all night. Never a hint of a difficult start. The cheap fridge... ran constant for almost 6 weeks... I started running it day and night 2 weeks before the trip to be sure that it...

    Two weeks to my month long trip in the gladiator!

    No exciting picture... but I did put in a set of Synergy HD Ball joints. At 30,000 there were signs of the passenger side ball joint starting to fail, loose... plastic cup giving out- I think. So... I think they are good for a while now! Feels great and they can be greased!
