    New Motobilt 4-Link Suspension

    Given that Motobilt is one of the few companies still trying to innovate and try new things on the Last Great Jeep, I’d like to see if anyone has any thoughts on this new double triangulated 4-link setup they just released today. I’m not affiliated with them in any way, I just enjoy reading...

    WTB: LJ (preferably Rubicon) in or near the SE USA

    It's time to downsize from my F250 so I'm hunting an LJ while they can still be found. I'd prefer a Rubicon but could be swayed with a standard model that's in good shape. Not really interested in anything too far north unless it's clearly rust-free. Level of build doesn't really concern me...

    Experience with Extreme Terrain / OR Fab

    Having dealt with DV8 and their products in the business world, I stay far away from them.

    Is there an easy way to pull the exhaust from the manifold on a 2003 TJ?

    Pulling the transfer case skid might be the easiest part of that job.

    Trying to decide on new axles

    Trying to understand this also, are you saying that with the axle to be fully centered off the ball joint axis, the front driveshaft would be angled to one side because the pinion is not in line with the output of the t-case? If that's the case I assume you'd be looking at cutting down full...

    Air intake mod question

    I put an AEM intake on my Jeep way back in 08 because (if I remember correctly) I needed it for the TNT full tube fenders that I mounted. For those that are running tube or flat fenders that replace the stock inner fender, especially high clearance models, are you still able to use the stock...

    Goodrich KO2 vs Falken AT3W

    Anecdotal experience on a different vehicle, but on my F150 I ran the Nitto Terra Grappler G2's, Toyo Open Country ATII's, and the Falken AT3W's, each for 60k+ miles. The Falken was a night and day difference for traction in wet and snowy roads. I put them on my F250 I bought last year and...

    JKS Rear Track Bar Issue

    Just giving a heads up to anyone who may have purchased this recently or plans to in the future - it appears they packaged the incorrect bushing sleeve for the frame side mount. The guy I spoke to in CS said he had run into it before, but the guy in Tech didn't let on to any known issue. I...

    Rebuild and Refresh in Florida

    I set some time aside to re-set the rear pinion angle today and install the JKS adjustable track bar. Instead ol’ Murphy stopped by and after smashing my thumb I discovered that JKS packaged the wrong bushing sleeve in the hardware kit so I can’t finish the install today. In other news, I...

    35" MT Tire Comparison

    Are you talking about the original MT/R with the different tread pattern and compound? Because the Kevlar model has only been out since 09.

    Flush mounted tail lights

    I've ordered these but haven't had a chance to install yet. Reviews looked good though. The integrated reverse LEDs that don't take up 1/3 of the lens sold me. Amazon

    35" MT Tire Comparison

    Just in case anyone is wondering what inventory looks like right now on 35x12.50x15 tires through my national warehouse. The red numbers are current inventory, and it's looked like this for weeks. A few will trickle in here and there, but they're gone very quickly. Just be patient with your tire...

    Rebuild and Refresh in Florida

    Ordered in new Hella headlights and Philips X-treme Vision H4 bulbs, new front brake lines, ball joints, tail lights, and Monroe steering stabilizer. Also the JKS track bar and Bed Rug came in. Then I spent Saturday getting to basically none of that. Ultimately I did finally get the driver's...

    Do Not Deal With CJ Pony Parts

    To be fair, they didn't pack your lift parts, Rough Country did. I deal with them on a regular basis at work and this is nothing new. Wrong parts and missing parts, all the time. Unless it's a one-box kit like a level or set of shocks or struts or something, there is regularly stuff left out...

    Advice on wheels and backspacing

    Have you found any tires in this size in a C load rating? I have only looked at a couple brands but they’re definitely less common than for a 15” wheel.

    Rebuild and Refresh in Florida

    Just gonna keep talking to myself here... New rear sway bar links and bushings are in, as well as new front sway bar bushings. I just replaced the links with the same RE ones that came out since they were inexpensive and the right length. Used Moog bushings which are a vast improvement over the...
