Congrats @rasband Awesome photo!

Yeah I get under my jeep before every trail run to ensure my links are tight and any bolts are also. The only leak I have right now is a drinker rear axle seal leak. But that should just be a quick job when I get my hands on a press. Along with a slight Dana 30 pinion seal leak that I will be doing...

Not weighed down that much. Misc trail tools, Badlands Jack, small Yeti and some steel bumpers front and rear but no winch. No hard top. 4.0L 5 Speed 15lbs offroad 30lbs on road One thing I did screw up with early on is I bought the HD springs from OME and I hadn't realized until I installed...

The whole suspension was installed about a little over a year ago. OME springs and shocks. Shocks seemed to be in working order when the axle swap was completed this winter. Is there any good way to check to see if they're blown? I know the 'bounce back' test. Stand on the corner of the bumper...

Yeah I've done this. Just wondering how it could be wearing my rear tires. Unless it's some sort of deeper issue.

Was checking in on the wheels I would eventually get when I noticed that Walker Evans has removed the Jeep beadlocks from their website. I emailed their support and was told "Yes they are discontinued." What a shame, hold on to them if you have them!

Okay I am not losing my mind then. Yeah 500 miles and that is probably over estimating a bit. 4 day trips and 1 camping trip and it looks like only the rear tires have the jagged edge. I want to make sure it's not edge wear so I want to get it to an alignment shop if anyone has recommendations...

You can see the jagged edge of the outer tread blocks on the second photo but they are also that way on the inner and center tread blocks.

This winter I axle swapped to ditch the dana 35 rear (lunchbox lockers front and rear) and with that added 35" KM3's, adjustable links and adjustable trackbars. After 4 day trips this season to Rainbow Falls, Longwater/Hackett, and more recently Yankee Hill I have noticed the tire wear on the...

Sounds like I may be in for some fun here in a day or two! After I marked the location with a paint pen at ride height and half shock compression I put it back down and pulled the springs and cycled it one side at a time and made sure the bracket lined up with the marks I’d made. It seemed to...

I followed @hosejockey61 advice in this video and measured/look up my shocks at half compression, marked em and lifted the rear axle with springs installed until the jeep frame lifted off the jack stands to get 'ride height' and marked my brackets on the axle there. Fingers crossed I didn't...

Growing up, everyone in my generation wanted to be a movie star or famous football star. The generation before me was astronauts. The generation after me was to be a famous YouTuber. Now we have influencer. God, I hate that term so much. You're essentially a walking advertisement with no brain...

RANT (incredibly unrelated to the actual topic of seat covers): The biggest thing I hate about my Millennial generation is just that, they're very self entitled. I grew up with a good amount of people in high school and you can tell who went to college for a STEM degree and who went to college...
