Ever since I got my JLU, I've been trying to figure out a mounting solution to carry my 30" long Cold Steel Spetsnaz Trench Shovel (the longer one, they don't sell a matching sheath like the small version).
At the beginning, I secured it to the top of the sport cage using two bull straps from...
I’m new to off-roading techniques, only used 4H part time with sway bar disconnected. And it worked very well on a medium level trail during the Bantam Jeep Festival Quarry at Kildoo. I didn’t even need 4L and the lockers.
JK in video, is JL doing better?
I love the XR wheels: 17x8, +12mm offset. I've seen folks posted that some tire installers don't really care about the min rim being 8" on the XR wheels.
I'm in PA, daily driver, we can have some bad winter snow days that's why I don't consider those tires that are not 3PMSF rated. Only do easy...
Another awesome test by Project Farm:
Related: last year I started looking for recovery rope and came across this test useful video: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/anyone-know-used-sandy-cats-recovery-rope.101583/
Ever since I learned how to drive back in the teenage years, I rarely rarely use the handbrake. When I had to park on a slope, I would just pull the handbrake AFTER switching to Parking gear and turning off the engine. I've been doing this without realizing it's the wrong order until today. Hope...
Okay, finally took my JL to the dealership for the first time ever since I took ownership since last March. I've been doing all the oil change and tire rotations myself. 2 oil changes and two tire rotations so far. I also replaced the gear oil in front and rear diffs as well as topping off the...
I've been wanting to get a Halotron fire extinguisher for my rig. It seems most of the vehicle mounted ones don't come with the hose, at least from those posted pictures. The one with the hose is cheaper to my surprise. I'd imagine using one with the hose would give you more control and longer...
First hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday.
I came across this performance coil package for JL 392: https://www.claytonoffroad.com/product/jeep-wrangler-392-performance-coil-package and wanted to get more insights for my 2022 392 XR.
Haven’t done any off-road yet and will probably...

So I wanted to share my experience with installing the Shrockworks JL rock sliders. I've done a world of research on sliders for my 392 XR, because I wanted something beefy, practical, and great looking. After comparing all the body mounted ones and the real frame mounted ones, I chose...
I’ve been doing research on the recovery ropes. Decided to go with kinetic rope instead of straps.
I came across this video which compares several ropes and the guy even cut them to show the internal differences, very informative!
I also reached out to this Sandy Cats recovery...
