    California Dusy Ershim Run 2022

    I haven't done it yet and is on my list. I have to look at the schedule when you put it together to see if I can join. There are a few changes I'd like to make so this might be a good kick in the ass to get moving.

    I'm contemplating a TORQ Locker

    The Spartan I have was super cheap ($125) new so it was an easy decision to make. I'm been pretty rough with it so far even breaking an outer shaft and destroying a hub lock in the process. I've checked it recently when changing an axle seal and it doesn't show any wear. So far, it's holding...

    I'm contemplating a TORQ Locker

    I run a Spartan on my front Dana 60 and was always curious about that. When you mention you seen it a lot are you referring to Dana 30s or up to Dana 60s? I know the recommendation for a lunchbox is to not run them on 40s but wanted to know your thoughts. I'm running my set up until it gives...

    Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

    I've been on top on that. Great hike especially at the cables.

    Genright TJ to LJ Conversion

    Mine is sitting right at 110" but I stretched it just a bit more than just adding the 15".

    Genright TJ to LJ Conversion

    Looking at the rear wheel cut out it looks like a TJ6/LJ stretch (15" TJ stretch)

    Centramatic Tire Balancers

    For me it was two reasons. The first was the hassle of dealing with the beads. I've replaced my wheels once already and also cut a sidewall so dealing with them every time I opened a wheel is something I didn't want to do. The other is value. At $50 per wheel for Centramatics for lifetime...

    Centramatic Tire Balancers

    I don't. Just the Centramatics. The weight might seem a little light but I haven't had an issue. Getting to/from the trails takes an hour or more and I run it up to 80 on the freeway. I've heard that others haven't had the luck I have.

    Centramatic Tire Balancers

    I've been using them since moving to beadlocks. I didn't want to use beads and getting them balanced at a shop isn't possible at least close to me. I haven't had any issues with them even after chunking tires.

    Porsche Driving Experience

    I had a chance to get behind the wheel of a couple of Porsches yesterday at one of the driving experience locations (LA). I didn't know what to expect and didn't know whether it would be fun or not. Boy was I surprised. I was grinning during the whole thing. There was an autocross track, a...

    California Anyone Going To The Wrightwood Jeep Show This Saturday?

    Mine was on the right in the pic but it only looked like an LJ. The 2nd pic was taken while enjoying a pint at the brewery.

    Jury Duty

    Had the same thing but not nearly as long as you. Every week for months without a way to get out of it. Federal buildings aren't in the best areas either.

    How the hell do I stop snoring?

    I've had two of them over the years. One was just as @AMS714 mentioned, it's done in a hotel. Electrodes stuck to you and someone monitors multiple people at once (in different rooms). You may not sleep that great while you're going though it. The other one I've had was simpler. They sent a...

    SOLD Rubicon front locker and other items

    I also have a 241OR transfer case linkage that is free. Not sure if it's the same as a non-Rubicon or not. Hate to throw it away if someone can use it.

    SOLD Rubicon front locker and other items

    I have a few more parts to get rid of. I have a stock Rubicon front locker that I've been hanging onto in case my son broke his but it looks like he'll be doing his 1 ton swap soon. The locker has 4.10 gears on it and have the matching pinion. I have a locker sensor and the air tube that...

    How the hell do I stop snoring?

    I had the same problem. Not overweight but enough snoring to cause a serious strain on our marriage. I had a sleep study done. Mild case of sleep apnea. You can try mouth pieces but a cpap will fix it. You may find that if your snoring is bad enough you'll sleep better too.

    Has anyone been to St. Petersburg Russia?

    I've been there. I like St Petersburg more than Moscow however each has their own charm. More than likely you'll be with a group (excursion) since the visa is a bit different on a cruise than going directly there. At least that's what I was told. I was there for business. You'll probably go...
