Channel Islands was really cool, it's been years since I went there, but other than a few people getting seasick on the boat ride out there it was great.

Got my patches in today finally. Three more to go, I can't find my Death Valley and Channel Islands patches, and need to put my wife's Out of Breath Hiking Society patch on her side.

Nice, I've had the same idea floating around in my head as well. Looking to build it this summer.

In six years of driving my TJ, I replaced the windshield once. In five years of driving my JL, I'm on my fourth windshield. It is of course cracked. They've all gotten a chip near the bottom of the windshield, below the windshield wipers where I don't notice them until they crack.

Drove through the same snowstorm. Didn't have a problem with snow covering my lights. What I did have a problem with was the light that went up from the headlights instead of out reflects off of every piece of snow making it impossible to see if there aren't any other lights out. Hit a stretch...

Went to Arches National Park in November, it was a great trip. Going back in March, along with Canyonlands. Highly recommend.

To install Mojave shocks on a JL, the easiest way is to make a bushing from 1mm sheet metal to adapt the shocks (14mm rubber bushing) to use the 12mm bolts used by the JL. You'll also need a spacer for the rear (two spacers per side, a 10mm one, and a ~19mm one) with a 12mm internal diamter, as...

Got the rear Mojave shocks installed last night. It rides really nice now. Rear shocks were significantly easier than the front shocks, even if my mud flap screws were rusted into the clips. Gonna replace those with some better hardware before the mud flaps and plastic go back on.

Got mine swapped today and the short drive I took was already much nicer. We'll see how it is on the highway tomorrow on my way to work.

Got my front Mojave shocks installed. Also swapped out the LCA's for the ones from the Mopar 2" kit to fix my caster.

Yeah, those reports have come from the manufacturers before, and it's really easy to track down who is doing it. They're not as sneaky as they think.

This is a constant problem (in all dealerships, not just Jeeps). It all comes back to the money given to the dealerships by the manufacturer, which is given only for all 10's (which is a stupid policy). Rather than be concerned with making any improvements with actually measurable numbers, the...

Blame the manufacturer (all of them, they all require 10s to be considered passing). I once had a conversation with the local Mercedes rep about this, and he was equally as delusional about it. Finding areas for improvement isn't the point of the surveys, looking good is. Anything less than...

I used it on my light bar brackets, matches pretty well. They're small cans, and they don't go as far as you'd hope, so order extra.

Impulse Off Road or Midnight 4x4 would be my picks. Both have people who have raced with us, and I've seen their work hold up.

Mine is intermittently blinking on and off now after getting back from the desert. Guess this is going to be a fun time with the dealer.

GaiaGPS uses OpenStreetMaps as a source, which is a nice, because if a road/trail doesn't exist, you can add it (It's like Wikipedia in that regard). They say it takes two to three weeks for the trails you add on OpenStreetMaps to show up in Gaia, but I'm not sure what the exact timeline is...

I had mine ordered through Quadratec (on back order until available) and mine showed up yesterday. Looking forward to getting it installed.

The coil over is likely just being used as a coil carrier with light, if any, valving as well, the Bypass should be taking care of all of the shock duties.

I think the glare from the paint is making them look worse than they really are. They don't look like fantastic welds, but they look better than I've seen on some others.
