    Anyone have any experience with the Quadratec Q9000 winch?

    Hi all! My wife recently bought a '16 JKU that came with a Quadratec branded Q9000 winch on it. It seems to be a basic affair with a cable that seems to be in nearly new shape. The long and short of it was that she didn't really want the winch to begin with (grocery getter), and had me take it...

    Great Sand Dunes National Park

    We took the trail following Medano Pass into the park, and had a blast. Regretfully, I didn't get a lot of pics, but the ones I got were fantastic. I'm still working on picking up a DSLR and maybe a dashcam to help capture more in the future.

    Exterior door latches

    Hi all, I'm looking to replace/refinish my door latches. I don't mind painting them, but wondered if anyone has gone the replacement route. I looked some up on Amazon, and the reviews are kinda sketchy. What are y'alls experiences? If you've had good experiences, what brand did you use?

    Is this a good price for a Dana 44 with OX locker?

    Today I found a TJ Dana 44 with OX locker, Ten Factory Chromoly axles, and 4.88 gears. They're wanting $1200 for the setup. Depending on condition (which at least on the outside looks good), is that setup worth the money? I ask because I don't know much about the locker or the axle brand, and...

    Tummy tuck without suspension lift?

    My Jeep is a DD that I would like to build properly enough to tackle some trails, but not toooo much to where I can't just hop in it to drive across the nation. Think factory-esque, but better. I've mentioned in my build thread that I have taken mine down from an old 3.5" Rancho lift (the PO had...

    LJ axles in a TJ

    Out of curiosity, are there any significant differences in the angle of the mounting hardware and spring buckets on LJ rear axles due to the longer wheelbase? My thought process is this, I'd think that up front all things remain the same between the two models, but would differ in the rear, and...

    Lithium Ion battery question

    Hi all, I searched, but didn't see anything covering this topic. In conversation with one of my tuner friends, I found out that he's running a lithium ion battery in place of a lead acid for weight savings on the track. This raised the question about running these on a Jeep. I know that when...

    The "I've finally decided to start the build" build

    Hi all, Per my other thread where I posted some pics, and asked several questions, I think I'm finally ready to commit to putting together a list of items that I'll be installing vs. what's already there. Some of these items might change as time goes on, but at least it's now written down, and...

    Rancho spring question

    Hi all, I've been lurking in the shadows here for the past few weeks, and trying to take stock in the quality of parts that are installed on my TJ that I picked up last August. To start out with, I bought a 04 5 spd Manual 4.0l Sport with 64k on the clock that looks to have a Rancho 3.5...
