    Metalcloak rock slider experience?

    What's been your regearing experience?

    From the threads I’ve read on here in the past, regearing seems to be about the best thing since sliced bread. However, discussing the topic with a trusted member, he opened my eyes to it possibly not being as great as it is cracked up to be. No regrets, just not as good as originally thought...

    Spray Painting Turbo Cheat Code

    Many of you may already know about this product but this is the first time I’ve used it. Extremely impressed with the even coats this lays down on complex items to paint like bumpers. I recently painted my plastic fenders with normal Krylon Fusion spray paint. I’m not sure how this product...

    What Insurance Will Cover Our Jeeps Offroad?

    Until recently I have been will Allstate and they said I was covered while off-roading. I recently switch to AMFam just to find out they don’t cover me off state, city or county maintained roads. Not sure I want to go back to Allstate due to the high cost of policies. Anyone else have good...

    Learning how to fabricate / weld?

    Quick background. I come from a carpentery/framing background so building items out of wood like sheds,chicken coops, framing houses come easy to me. But show me metal and I’m lost. In high school I learned basic wire feed and stick welding skills. I have retained basic use of a wire feed for...

    Utah Trade Rubicon for Non Rubicon

    Very likely this is an idiotic idea but there’s some thought behind this… and I’m still very much on the fence which is why I don’t have an official for sale ad. Wanted to gauge the waters first… Took me a long time to find a clean (as rust free as possible) good shape Rubicon in the South West...

    Will adjustable controls improve ride on lifted Jeep?

    Currently have a 2.75” SL and 1” body lift and stock arms. They seem to function well and don’t hold back the flex of the jeep (my shocks control my max droop). But I’m considering going to a taller SL which will require adjustable control arms. I already have a DC rear drive line and the 241...

    Anyone build a long travel truck/SUV?

    Love my TJ for rock crawling but kicking around the idea of building (bolt on mods) a long travel truck or SUV like a 4th gen 4runner with the V8. Wanted to see if anyone else has gone down this path and if you’d be willing to share your experiences and what you’d do differently if you were...

    Should I leave rear Rubicon axle locked when off-roading?

    So thanks to this forum, I was made aware that the gear driven limited slip in the rear Dana 44 rubicon axles can change issues. For the last few trail rides (and the foreseeable future) I’ve been off-roading in slick rock (think moab style stuff) quite frequently in 4 low and only used the...

    Is galvanic corrosion a valid concern for body armor?

    When looking into various different skids, rock slides and body protection pieces, they’re often made in steel or aluminum. For example my UCF 6061 aluminum engine/transmission skid touches my steel factory transfer case skid as well as the steel struts that came with the skid plate that hold...

    UCF Transmission / Engine Skid Plate Help

    I’ve watched a YouTube video and read a few threads but haven’t seen this issue discussed. From looking at the pics on UCFs website, I believe I have the motor mount bracket and struts installed correctly In the first picture of the struts, you can see that they don’t line up. They are about...

    6.5 qts out of a 42RLE after dropping pan / filter?

    In the middle of a trans gauge install. From what I can tell the previous pan was a stock pan (very similar overall size to the new doorman pan I bought). I took my time with the filter and pan change so it had a while to drain out but 6.5qts seems to be a lot when everything I read on here and...
