Didn't see this in time to help you, but there are two Jeep Badge of Honor trails around Tillamook. Cedar Tree 13 and Firebreak 5. I haven't had a chance to try either of them yet, but Trails Offroad shows a number of trails that might be interesting in the area.

I'll take some ambers to go with my clear v1's

But if you do all the mods yourself, just think of how much you're saving in labor costs! You can tell the spouse you'd be a fool not to get that lift kit, winch, new bumper, sliders, etc and install it yourself. It would be like throwing money away, I tell you, a waste!

I've seen this before. It's specifically about actual chains made of metal links. "Snow chains" that are based on cables are fine. They're just worried about a link breaking and getting the chains wrapped around the axle or suspension components or flapping around thrashing the body-work.

I'll be watching this thread with interest. I'm not the most familiar with the trails around here, but if you want to stretch your JL's legs a bit, Walker Valley ORV park has enough variety to test things out in a "relatively" safe environment. https://www.dnr.wa.gov/Blanchard#walkervalley

The video Hound Dog linked above was very helpful. My ebrake lever felt very loose after I installed my lift kit. I know that I disconnected the ebrake lines before drooping the axle, so excessive pull wasn't a factor. When I opened up that part of the center console I noticed the opposite...

Mud sure does look good on Sarge green, doesn't it!

I had the 33" Falken MTs stock for a while. No problem driving across country or offroading. They'd be fine for a daily driver. I took them through some snowy mountains, though, and they felt a lot more squirley than I liked. MTs aren't great in snow, typically, due to the lack of siping...

The backbone isn't needed to run the Thule. I've seen others post on here using the gutter mounts. I get paranoid about hanging anything off the fiberglass, though, so with the backbone I'm less worried if fully loaded on the highway with heavy crosswinds.

In terms of necessities for modifications etc for what you describe, there's no need to change a thing. I've done cross country road trips (JLUR) with the wife, 2 kids, and a dog, and all I "needed" for that was a Thule cargo box on top with a roof rack (I chose the Rhino Rack backbone system)...

Thanks. I'm only doing the MOPAR lift, so I don't have an additional bracket beyond the stock mounting point. Now that I went out under the Jeep to compare, it looks like it's still at an angle after the unkink so it lines up. The older one looks like it had the 2nd kink to line it back up...

Did they change the shape of the adjustable rear track bar from Rock Krawler when they went from part number RK06692 to RK06692B? I just got the front and rear adjustable track bars, but the rear doesn't look like everything I've seen so far. Here's the one from the Rock Krawler site that has...

For those keeping track at home, the correct answer is not the McGard 64024 cone seat lug nut. While I do need cone lugs, and the non-bulging cone lugs do fit into the opening on the wheel, the recess for the nut is relatively deep and narrow. Fitting these lugs on the wheel doesn't leave...

A big thanks to Matt at Discount Tire for helping arrange my tire upgrade and getting my used but not old tires swapped to a buddy's wheels. I tried to make it difficult with all the mixing and matching of old and new equipment between the vehicles, but in the end everything went great. I put...

What type of lugs do Black Rhino wheels take (conical, ball, or flat)? Looks conical or ball to me, but would appreciate confirmation. Just installed a set of Primm's and the bulging conical lugs that came stock with the JLUR wouldn't fit back on (due to the bulge; I think a thinner conical...

Thanks for the quick reply. That Corsa one does indeed look similar.

Any insight regarding the Mopar Cat Back Exhaust? https://www.allmoparparts.com/sku/p5160244aa.html Any pics of what it looks like installed? Searching both inside and outside the forum doesn't seem to turn anything up. Must not be very popular. Does it gain much ground clearance over stock...

Still running 4.10 gears?

Is that still open? The NPS site says it's closed for the season: https://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/road-status.htm If it's open (or you've found a way in without gates) I'd like to check it out at some point.

If you're in the market for a really nice camera, make friends with a Jeeper. Here's a shot my buddy took that convinced me he needs a better camera: I could use an upgrade too, but at least it's a little less grainy:
