My steering wheel was off center after completing the Rubicon Trail last fall. Just after leaving South Lake Tahoe on our way home, I hit a bump just right and my Jeep did the death wobble thing, forcing me to slow down to make it stop. Luckily, our hotel was just a few miles away. I checked...

Although, the Can Am UTV is "street legal" in Utah. It has a license plate, turn signals, a horn, and a registration with no fault insurance for on highway use. Street legal for a UTV in Utah only makes it legal to drive on certain roads though. And those roads don't...
So I'm reading this thread and I get to this post, and finally, i have to respond. All in good fun mind you, but here is my experience.
Two years ago I bought a Ram TRX, 6.2 supercharged Hellcat engine, 707 HP, 650 lb ft torque, launch control, etc.
After buying that truck it seemed like...
Best post I've seen in a long long time, and so very true. A lot of Jeep owners need to move on.
I think I'm a Jeep person. I bought my first Jeep in 1974 and have owned one ever since. I currently own three of them, a '73 CJ5 and the two Jeeps in my signature.
I installed a fire extinguisher today. I have storage bags on the sides of the rollbar, so had to install the fire extinguisher up on the top of the rollbar.
I had to sort through some problems when installing Oracle flush mount taillights on my wife's Gladiator. We switched from halogen to LED and even after using the resister that came with the lights the reverse lights didn't work. The taillights were fine, but not the reverse lights. I called...
1 Yes. Mine softened up significantly in the first 3000 miles use. I have 12,000 on them now, and recently increased slow speed compression.
2 Yes
3 More weight will soften the ride. The reason I recently increased compression damping on mine was because of added weight from an AAL...
Well if you can't see the blue light on the dash in time, you could just let the other drivers remind you. If someone flashes you their high beams, then switch your's to the other setting. If you had your high beams on, you switch to low beams, and problem solved. If you had your low beam on...
The subwoofer in the floor of a 2-door JL is actually very waterproof. A few years ago I filled the subwoofer of the 2-door JL I had at that time with blood (from a deer). I had a tarp layed down under the dear and thought it had caught any blood, but I didn't notice that the tarp had leaked...
I thought this was a good advertisement for flush mount taillights. These are the flush mount Oracle taillights for a JT, but pretty much the same as a JL. My wife and I have them on both of our Jeeps, and really like them. I told my wife she can thank me when we do rock crawling like this...
If the OP is interested in pretty amber lights, there are a number of options. I think the Oracle lights in the grille are a bit overplayed at this point. It seems like I see several pickups or Jeeps every day that has the amber "pre-runner" lights in the grille.
I do actually like the...
Keeping in mind that it would be pretty hard to make a worse looking tail light than stock, I think overall these earn a "Meh" rating. When he has one stock tail light and one of these tail lights mounted in the video I do like the profile of these lights better than stock, and I like the side...
MetalCloak uses the same length swaybar links on their 2.5" lift as they do on their 5.5" lift. So, if you have one of the lower lifts your swaybar is going to look like it is riding high at ride height.
I've owned several heavy duty pickup trucks over the last 40 years, both dually trucks and single rear wheel trucks. And I'm not sure all of these reported "laws" regulating the cab clearance lights discussed in this thread are either being stated correctly, or actually inforced. The reason I...
Wow, what a great find. I had one just like that, even the same year and same color. Except mine was a total rust bucket that was so bad you could see holes through the side of the bed. Suspension was hard as a brick. Didn't have any power to speak of...
Yours is much better. Congratulations.
Thanks for the link to the article. From Accutune's article:
Summary:
Digressive shocks are bad at small bumps and large bumps, but good at handling and g-outs. Progressive shocks are good at small bumps and big hits, but bad at handling and g-outs. Linear shocks provide the best all around...
