PSC is making their Big Bore w/cylinder assist kit in two different options. The original kit has the belt drive pump. The new EHPS uses the OE Electric Hydraulic Power Steering pump with a boost kit to raise the pressure. All the other components seem to be the same (cooler, steering box...
I've been thinking about doing the Mojave Trail (again). I've done it a few times on horseback in 6 day group rides. It's probably a 1-2 night camp trip by jeep, depending on how much stopping along the way to check out things. Looking to see if anyone is interested.

I recently ordered a TYC 700356 blower motor from Autopartsgeek. The motor came promptly and I tried to install it right away. I figured I'd give it a go just plugging it in and winding on the blower controls. I had just done the same for the OEM blower and it works, but has a slight bearing...
Im curious about the highway characteristics of a ram assist. Is a ram assist still as precise as OE steering? I'm running 37s, 3.5 MC lift, MC tierod, and draglink.
I have a 3.5" Metalcloak lift and the MC tierod (1 5/8" dia) and draglink. The steering damper is currently a Rocksport. But it lacks even the same damping as an OEM damper. Looking for a no-hassle fit to my setup that has an adjustable damper. Is the Teraflex Falcon JK Falcon Nexus EF 2.2...
Has anyone used a digital torque wrench and measured what the trackbar specified torque of 74 ft/lbs + 30 degrees and +60 degrees actually measures out to in ft/lbs?
We were on trails at Moab this past week. We had some OK equipment and maps. We still had some difficulty with knowing where we were when apparently the GPS constellation was acting up. But eventually the GPS system came back up. Still, it was difficult navigate on either the phones or small...
I'm about to take off for Utah and just remembered I need to change the air filter. It has 30k and almost 5 years of lots of dirt and dust. So, it's time.
What's available on Sunday in the chain auto stores?
I'm thinking of doing the full length of Dusy-Ershim, south to north. Just wondering for those of you who have done it in a JL with a 3.6L, does it require carrying extra fuel?
I ran Rubicon a few weeks ago and while it's only about 25 miles end to end, I burned about 2/3rds tank over the...
It looks like me and my bud will have an opportunity to run up to Moab at the end of our Duck Creek area deer hunt in early October. I was just wondering if we're going to run into big crowds at that time?
So, I started getting ready for our Rubicon trip yesterday, by removing the back seat. I'd had it out for the first few years, to accommodate my "dog deck", but had put it back in when relatives needed a vehicle while on vacation here.
I weighed it right at 90 lbs! That and the fact that it...
I'm headed to the Rubicon in a week and change. Hurricane Hilary or her remnants are starting to hit us this morning in Southern California. From what I gather, they'll be some serious rates of rainfall and the erosion that comes with it. Our trails in the west are likely to take a hit.
In my quest for parts for my OEM Rubicon differentials, I called Dana Aftermarket and confirmed the UD-44 uses the OE Jeep Rubicon differentials as standard. When I asked if I could buy a UD-44 differential, I was told they don't sell them separately, you have to purchase the whole axle, same...
As some of you may already know, Jeep does not supply the JL Rubicon differential assembly or the locker actuator/solenoid/coil.
I have a front locker actuator that has an internal electrical failure and I've been trying to locate that part for some time now. I would have even been willing to...
So, I had some Icon Rebound Pro wheels installed about a month or so ago. Long story, but I hated the balance beads I had in there and wanted them out. So, I had the tire shop dismount them and vacuum the beads out. When I parked overnight, I noticed the next morning one tire was very low on...
I'm considering a fire extinguisher before going on the Rubicon. I looked at them and thought that a Co2 would be the way to go. Looking for comments about which kind and size to get, and why you'd pick one type over another.
My front D44 M210 OEM Rubicon locker actuator coil has a problem. I need a good take off part. Either the actuator or a whole diff works.
