  1. 317 Miles of Moab Trails Are Being Closed

    I've been wheeling Moab for roughly 15 years now and you're correct. Hell, I used to help with the goneMOAB event (primarily Nissan-focused wheelers, was part of it when I had an Xterra). I'm unaware of any new trails that aren't on private land. These trails are well-established and have...
  2. 3400-Mile Michigan to Colorado Road Trip

    I just saw this and it looks like you may have passed my wife and I doing a very similar trip. We stayed between BV and Leadville this time, though. Love the Ouray area - we actually got married there because it was so scenic and important to us.
  3. 2018 3.6 JLU Seal Failures - Rear Main Seal failure

    I did the rear main replacement over the weekend. Project done in my garage, no lift - and almost all just me doing the work. Couple of tips that may make this easier for someone else: If you have a lift, that'd make your life much, much easier. Just sayin'. A transmission jack is almost...
  4. What is your favorite Moab trail and why?

    Elephant Hill is always up there - I've run that 10-15 times, I think. Never seems to get old. Other than that, we always seem to hit the same group. SMR, Fins, Hells, Porcupine Rim (if you've got a small group of experienced folks you can start on Fins, finish the first section, go run...
  5. ALUMINUM bumpers ONLY. Let's see them!

    One additional note for those installing the rear bumper. There are two backing plates included with the bumper. The passenger side one is an L bracket and stands there by itself, no issues whatsoever. The driver side one, however, is just a flat piece that's somewhat difficult to hold up in...
  6. ALUMINUM bumpers ONLY. Let's see them!

    Next update - no pics yet, but those are coming once I'm done. Next Venture Adventure Series front bumper installed. This thing went in very easily - the only issues I had to deal with are Jeep's rivnuts stripping out, which meant I had to cut off the old skid plate that was on there first...
  7. ALUMINUM bumpers ONLY. Let's see them!

    Quick update and pics to come, but I fitted the Next Venture Featherweight rear this last weekend. The bumper itself had no issues - but my Joop did have one. The ends of the framerails stuck out about an eighth of an inch too long. It took me several runs of trying to get everything fitted...
  8. Transmission Flush

    Update for anyone doing this - I didn't realize that I needed to have the vehicle running to get the last bit of fluid in there. This weekend I warmed the tranny up to the recommended range, kept it running, popped of the drain/fill plug, and was able to pump the rest of the needed fluid in...
  9. Transmission Flush

    Did this yesterday and it wasn't too bad. One thing I noticed is that my transmission seemed to be very over-filled. When I opened the drain plug more than a quart came out. Even following the established "warm it up and fill process" that techs use I still couldn't get that much fluid back...
  10. ALUMINUM bumpers ONLY. Let's see them!

    I've been thinking of upgrading my bumpers for some time now - especially considering I managed to nearly tear off both of the rear bumper caps wheeling at SMORR, in Montana, and then did further damage to the rear in Sand Hollow. Going with the Next Venture Adventure front (with skid and 7"...
  11. Moab Trip Advice

    There's so many trail options out there - I don't have much on the UTV side because I never tried those. That being said, it's worth noting that many of the trails can take a good portion of the day so you might not have time to do a hike and a trail - just depends on the trail itself...
  12. 2020 Granite Crystal JLUR build

    Once I had the template, it was time to transfer that to 1/4" hardboard - I'd much rather make a mistake there than on the nice 3/4" Baltic Birch that I bought. You can see the painter's tape down on the corners near the end of the doors - even with a cardboard template, things still aren't...
  13. 2020 Granite Crystal JLUR build

    Now that I've had the Jeep for a bit, I've decided to start some interior mods. Specifically, time to delete the rear seat and get happy with putting in a platform/storage area of sorts. l did look at options from Goose Gear and others, and whilst those are great options, I want to spend money...
  14. Michigan Some 2020 JLUR Parts (Bumper, roof rack, skids)

    Sliders/rock rails are sold. Everything else is still here.
  15. Michigan 2020 JLU Rubicon suspension

    I can probably do that - I'd have to see if I can find a proper shipping box for it, though. It's not light and I'd want to be sure it has the best possible chance of getting there undamaged. A swag at shipping shows cost to be around $50 or so. That's with me guessing the box dimensions and...
  16. Michigan 2020 JLU Rubicon suspension

    I do. 68253590AA, 3591AA, 3659AD, and 3660AD
  17. Michigan Sold: 2020 JLU Rubicon suspension

    I've upgraded to a Teraflex lift and have my old Rubicon suspension parts up for sale. Had less than 2,500 miles on them when I did the upgrade, so these are basically new. Comes with the shocks, skids, sway bar end links, bumpstops, front LCAs, and the hardware I didn't have to re-use...
  18. Michigan Some 2020 JLUR Parts (Bumper, roof rack, skids)

    I've done some upgrades on my 2020 JLUR (did these when it had aFround 2,500 miles on it). Replaced the front bumper, upgraded the sway bar disconnect skid, sliders, etc. So I've now got these for sale. All bulky, so I'm pretty sure that shipping isn't worth it for anyone. Front bumper -...
