    What problems does your Jeep have this week?

    Rubi Swaybar wouldn’t reconnect. Figured it was the motor, but once I pulled it I could see the fork slide was corroded and stuck. Full cleaning and it is like new. Reassembled it with rtv so hopefully it won’t get as contaminated. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Rubicon Trail Sept 20th-22nd

    First time through the Rubicon lived up to all my expectations and then some. No dust, dry rock, and the weather was in the 50s. Can’t thank this forum and its members enough for all the information that helped me get my Jeep to a point that made the trail such a fun experience.

    Rubicon Trail Sept 20th-22nd

    Hi guys, I am planning on running the Rubicon September 20th-22nd. Plan is to drive down from Central Oregon Thursday night and camp and get started early Friday. I have never done the trail and currently don't have another vehicle to come along. I of course don't want to attempt it solo, so I...

    Rubicon locker fix or replacement?

    For a while my rear locker has had some trouble unlocking and it finally fully failed. It was stuck closed enough that I had to pull the cover to get the plate to move to the right to dis-engage. Even manually moving it definitely does not snap into place it just kind of slides over. I am...

    Colorado to Utah Trip

    The next morning we headed south to go down and do a short hike on the Joint Trail. Was nice to walk around and see some unique formations. On the way there we had a real tight spot for the Tacoma and a really deep hole cause by the storm damage. We finished the Elephant Hill Trail and ended...

    Colorado to Utah Trip

    After a less than wonderful night in a Hostel in Silverton (you get what you pay for) we headed up 550 to Black Bear Pass. There were thunderstoms in the forecast so we hit the trail early and were at the 1-way section by 8am just to be safe. My friend is uncomfortable with heights and has a...

    Colorado to Utah Trip

    Last week a friend and I headed down to the San Juan Mountains and then over to Moab area. I invited my Dad along on the trip as well and it had been over 10 years since we had spent this much time together. Needless to say it was a amazing trip and I cant wait to do another one. We started...

    Metalcloak vs stock fenders

    I have a 2.5 inch lift on 33s with stock uncut fenders and the tires look small and kinda rollerskatey. At full stuff I still have room to spare. I'd save the money you'd spend on fenders and get 35s faster! Also agree on the look. They don't match the jk lines and look like a dog with his head...

    Need some help here

    I may be off in my thinking but wouldn't they just need to shorten both upper and lower arms an even amount to keep the caster the same but pull the axle back to a more stock location? Here is mine stock to give you an idea of the clearance.

    What was done to your rig this week?

    EVO d-rings. Impressed with how stout these are and how much better the jeep looks without the plastic bumper.

    Stock rear driveshaft hitting Evo evap skid

    Factory trackbar with a relocation bracket. I'll give a measure and see if it is centered under the jeep. I'd assume the bracket the lift kit came with would adjust it correctly. I appreciate the help!

    Stock rear driveshaft hitting Evo evap skid

    So today I tested out the flex of the jeep driving the passenger front up onto a snowbank. I have a 2.5inch lift. I got a ways up then heard a loud banging sound. The driveshaft weights were hitting my Evo evap skid. I stopped before any damage other than the boot clamp blowing off. Is there...
