    Not your mama's long arm debate

    Where does the Savvy mid-length fit in to all of this? If from what I gather an "off the shelf" long arm is pointless then what is the point of the Savvy? For reference I run the Savvy lift with tummy tuck 4" and Fox shocks.

    Do snorkels really work?

    I've put the front end of a tj into a huge hidden hole that I watched 3 other jeeps travel through. Just took a slightly different line. The front end was submerged and the engine hydrolocked. Didn't intend to submarine the jeep, just got swallowed up. I feel like a snorkel - like maybe the Hauk...

    AX15 chatter

    Update: I took the Jeep out and drove it around and sure enough, same problem. This time though I shifted into 4H and the sound went away. The front has an aussie locker and I made sure to turn corners so it pops. When I shifted back into 2H the sound wasn't there anymore. I haven't taken it out...

    AX15 chatter

    After getting my Jeep all set up I wanted to see how well it can handle offroad. Me and my buddy went to a local offroad park and drove around a bit. There was a big area where alot of people were wheeling in the mud so I thought it would be a nice place to try out the aussie and OX locker. No...

    B&M short shifter inquiry

    I have the B&M short shifter in a AX-15. I don't recall having to put a ventilation hole in it. It works really well and after my tummy tuck, it brought it up to a better height. Nice shifter overall. I don't think you will be sorry unless you have really short arms.

    Can you believe this price?

    That seems ridiculous. Where did the dealership even come up with that figure? Sadly, someone will buy it not knowing what they are doing.

    I just can't escape the angry bird grille

    I think the reason it bothers folks is because, for this forum at least, most people here like mods that will enhance the function of their Jeep vs just something aesthetic. If it can do both then so much the better. I think these grilles serve no purpose so I wouldn't consider one but if that's...

    Need some help with a non standard build

    Maybe I'm missing something but it sounds pretty straightforward. The guy wants specific looks. There are tons of lower end bumpers that fit the budget and his desired outcome. He isn't doing anything serious, he knows it, and doesn't want the expense of armor and tummy tucks. If he gets more...

    99 TJ finally coming together

    Well my little project is finally starting to come together. It's a 99 Sahara and when I got it it had a stupid 3 inch body lift and 2 inch Procomp lift with those dynamite E3000 shocks that adjust your back when you go over cracks in the road. Thanks to trolling this site and reading reviews by...

    Help identifying tire carrier bumper

    Do you intend to utilize the gas cans? As you said before it is a lot of weight back there and if you don't plan any long overland adventures then it seems like a big anchor. I think keeping the spare close to the body is better. Something like an Exogate, maybe? If you need gas cans then maybe...

    First 5 mods you'd do with a new project

    +1 to the 3 inch body lift. Chicks love a lifted jeep. No one ran out and bought truck nuts for their rig as their first mod?

    Synthetic rope failure: Does it drop or recoil?

    A guy from Australia did a youtube video about the difference between cable and synthetic. The short story is the cable recoils and destroys anything in the path. The synthetic snapped back but not as violently. They tied one end to a tree and the other to a bulldozer so there was a lot of...

    Texas Anyone from the Kingwood area wanting to help out?

    Hey there! New to the forum. I live in the Kingwood area and I have big plans for building up my TJ. I would really like a hand by someone who has done some various projects. I want to install a Currie lift and do some other fun projects but I don't want to tackle it alone. Is there anyone...
