I’m going to do the Rubicon trail next summer but don’t really want to drive 2000 miles each way. Has anyone ever shipped your jeep to/from an event? Who did you use, Uship? Someone else? The alternative is flat towing it behind a class B. What would you do?
I installed a Rockhard 4x4 stubby bumper and fixed my steering. If anyone else does the stubby, do things in this order: 1. Install winch. 2. Install foglights, 3. Install bumper. Have strong friends around to help. Heavy bumper is that much worse after adding winch. Other orders result...
I’m like 4 back from him. He uses a very different technique that relies on a lot of throttle, but he’s so narrow he could take a lot of lines the TJ, JK, JKU and JLURs couldn’t.
No issues with mine. I've scraped them up on rocks pretty well, and then they lived through the winter. I do use rustoleum paint over the places where they were scraped. My wheels are for offroading, so aren't really pretty anymore. Overland 17x9.5 rims.
Was that tree closer than you thought and now you have a DRL dangling off the side of your fender? Solution: Buy my undamaged LED and replace them. You can do this yourself by watching the AAL highline fender install video and learn how to remove your light, then follow instructions in...
Not the DL, I went with a metalcloak on that. My tie-rod got settled, but required 130 ft/lbs, which is WAY higher than what it's supposed to be. Key is just to get as much thread exposed as you can to give it purchase to hold.
2018 JLUR 3.6 MT. 3.5" metalcloak, 315s. I run about 14-15 mpg highway (~70-75 mph), and 15-16 around town (35-40 mph). I'm running no door and no windows on the soft top.
I installed rear fender liners from American Adventure Labs I had planned to install their RGB highline, front inner fenders and rear liners, but I'd already started the rear when I discovered I was missing the quick-release buttons from the rear. Now I'm waiting patiently for them to reply to...
When I first picked it up after the service, it felt off, the engagement was much closer to the floor, and there was a hesitation in the pedal as it came out of the friction zone before it came to the upright position. This sucked a lot, but after a day of wheeling it feels pretty much like it...
I looked at the install instructions on the bestop doors here. Looks like it would be drilling 3 holes on top of the door and putting a velcro strip on the lower door. Not particularly appealing to have the velcro on there when most of the time I'd run without the upper. There is probably a way...
be careful with the brake wire. It may be very snug when you raise up the bracket. You might have to open it up and allow it to run in a straighter line to give you the slack needed to raise it up.
46, 2 teens and a tween at home. Mortgage at 20% LTV, college savings about where we want it for all 3 kids, wife and I both have pretty good jobs with 401ks with decent matches.
Went to the trails this weekend, here I am about to get stuck in the MUD, and the looks of the tires after I winched myself out. Stuction is a thing. Notice that the plate is flipped up for easy access to the winch. The tree strap, snatch block and winch controller were all ready to go...
They just called. Did it today. Clutch passed, so only the sleeve. They also are giving me the new front stabilizer so they can mark that recall off as completed even though they aren't touching my current setup. Interesting.
