I have some idiot friends I’ve met through Jeeping that have decided to do a crazy trip for charity. They are riding Honda Ruckus scooters from Michigan to Vegas for SEMA, benefiting SEMA Cares. Greg owns Unofficial Use Only, a custom shop in Michigan that does, among other things, SEMA...

Pretty much since I built the off road camper and took the first long trip, I've been thinking how much nicer swapping out my trusty Ram DT for a 3/4 ton would make these kind of trips. Tow the Jeep and camper (or rebuild the camper onto the tongue of a car hauler) and have the larger room for...

Just got an email from Garmin, they're restructuring the inreach billing to eliminate the ability to suspend when you aren't using the device. New lowest cost for unused months, $8/mo. inReach Consumer Enabled Plan vs. Suspended Plan As of September 18, 2024, Garmin has simplified the inReach...

Attempting to move from an all Metalcloak setup to a SteerSmarts trackbar. It doesn't appear that I can fit a relocated stabilizer with the combo. Has anyone made it work? For clarity, the MC tie rod is so far rearward that it is basically under the SS track bar at full turn.

Looking to swap out my drivers door after an "incident" with an antelope. Been looking around for a take off door. Ran across Baseline 4x4, they list on eBay with a 98.9%, but also sell direct, anyone have experience with them? Feedback? Any other recommended vendors?

I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few years learning about the details of the Jeep JL(U) suspension and intricacies of lifting and articulation. I thought it may be helpful for us to have a single thread with an “intro” course to help with misinformation and to have a one stop shop for...

My wife has the Jeep out of town, or I'd test this myself. We've got the standard battery tell-tale, a dash lit up like a Christmas tree, and fifteen DTCs. Only five months ago, I replaced the battery with Autozone's best available replacement. When the OEM battery failed, it passed the...

Like many, I've tried and failed to keep my underhood wiring nice and neat as I've added items. I've got another stack of things to install, and I want to spend some time redoing everything under the hood. I'd appreciate if those of you who have put time into getting it right would share some...

I noticed @TeraFlex released a new product that may be an option for some on here, and didn't see it discussed. When looking at driveshafts a couple years back, I noticed that TF offered a high angle RZeppa for the JK front driveshaft, but not the JL. Well, look what just got listed in their...

Well, we almost made it home from Montana. Jeep is currently stranded 400 miles from home. The 12V battery died over the course of the trip, finallly giving up Sunday. Experienced the standard Christmas Tree and all system freak-out when it finally gave up. I replaced the battery with a new...

Thought some of you guys may get a kick out of this, or at least find it interesting. Since we ordered the Jeep, I've been listening to a podcast called The Jeep Talk Show as well as interacting with the JTS team via Discord, weekly Zoom round tables, and even wheeling with the guys out in Moab...

Kind of off topic, but hoping someone has run across this. I'm running Raceline Clutch 17x8.5 5x5 +18mm on both the Jeep and the camper trailer I'm building. We've had them on the Jeep for a year and a half, and I bought more for the trailer. Here's the issue, the Raceline center caps are too...

Everything can break, especially when you go on a 7k miles plus trip and hit all the trails you can on the way. I want to give some Kudos to Chris at Metalcloak. I’ve had some email correspondence before with him on some fitment confirmations. But the other night I shot him a request for help...

We've started our month long October journey. Left Charlotte Friday evening in the midst of Ian, made it to Wyoming Sunday afternoon. So far: 2k miles @14.5 mpg in the 4xe We stayed in Fort Collins, CO, Saturday night, and took the Snowy Ridge scenic byway west. First week we're working...

I've always used AllDataDiy on my past vehicles whenever they are available. Basically a digital linked version of the Factory Service Manual, including part number, labor rates, wiring diagrams, procedures. Randomly checked today, and they've got the 21 4xe available now. All Data is a...

Considering picking up a side by side. The Jeep is my wife’s DD, so she’s concerned about getting the interior filthy on trips, and has some weird aversion to flipping it. Considering picking up a SxS to abuse. I love the mod process, and doing the work myself. Cost isn’t a huge issue, but...

Hey Guys, The last two wheeling trips I’ve either ripped off or broken the OEM flares, and they are mud stained at this point. I’d like to replace the set with a a high clearance set, without screwing with chopping since I’d like to replace them anyways. I need full coverage (similar to...

This has come up from myself and a couple others within other threads, and I figured it deserves it's own so we can get some visibility and (hopefully) a solution. The rear parking brake on the 4xe has a slightly different configuration than the standard JL. As in the JL, the parking brake...

Now that lifts are coming out, let's talk aftermarket front driveshafts for our rigs. Looks like there may be a couple changes that may require custom/specific lengths/options compared to most of the "off the shelf" options. I'm concentrating on the front since that's my limiting factor on...

FYI, listened to Matson’s podcast today and checked the site, low and behold 4xe kits are out. 2.5 and 3.5 Gamechanger and Dual Rates on the site. Waiting for a call back from their sales team to order springs/isolators. Front are the diesel springs, rears are 4xe specific (sounds like a...
