My 99 came with 6 inch lift springs and Bilstein 5100 shocks, and I'm looking to lower it a little bit. Let me know if you have 4 inch lift springs and want to go higher.

Made a couple whoopie slings from 1/8 UHMWPE I had laying around.

And here I thought it was just because I was on 35s! On a whim I decided to see what the backspacing of my wheels are. 3.5in. OK, not ideal but not uncommon. But these rims are 10", so the scrub radius would be like an 8" rim with 2.5" backspacing. Pretty sure that'd be a problem. I took...

When I was shopping for my jeep I wanted something pretty mild: a good run-around-town convertible that can handle forest roads and mild trails. But I fell for this beast on 35s, 6" spring + 1" body lift. It drives nice up to around 50 and then there's cyclical driveline vibes. The rid is...

I've gravitated towards the idea of tall skinny tires for a long time (dreams of running Q78s, 35.5x10), and think in many cases that profile is better. But where I find myself pushing the jeep to it's limits is in deep snow. Running 35x12.5s on the Dana 30 4.88 limits my ability to go taller, so...

I've been infatuated with the idea of a Mahindra Roxor since it came out. A brand new CJ7 with a tractor diesel motor? No modern safety or emission requirements? Sign me up! If only I could get it street-legal here in Oregon.

Climbed the mountain yesterday for an awesome day of snow wheeling! I started the day with the front tires at 6psi and the rears at 5. Had to break out the chains and drop pressure f/r to 3/2! Had some sticky spots but we clawed our to the top. The JK is on 37s, started at 12 and ended up...

Went to take my daughter for a drive and was greeted with this lovely sound. Seemed to be louder by the distributor. It stopped after a minute and didn't make any more noise while we were driving. If that's what it is, what's the best replacement?

So I was just checking out linear actuators on amazon, absolutely amazed at how cheap they are and thinking of how I could possibly use them, when I came across a different type. They call them "Reciprocating Linear Actuator Motors" and I must say their applications seem rather, um, limited. Are...

From FB: https://www.facebook.com/1450710029/videos/pcb.10229089065638544/1750614015453461 Kinetic rope tied to winch rope as an extension. Winch rope broke at the knot sending the kinetic rope through the windshield and into the driver's face. Driver is OK with minor injuries. Lessons: 1)...

Post whatever's interesting. Crazy police ambush video:

So my neighbor's house just went up for sale. 10 acres, house is 5/3, carport and shop. Irrigated 5 hillside acres, terraced for marijuana. It would be a HUGE upgrade from our current house, and the price a bit out of reach just as a house. But if the property can produce some income we could...

Well boys, in case I don't get the chance to tell yall later, let me say that it's been a pleasure and an honor. I just told my wife "Unbunch your panties and get back to cooking." Pray for me.

I was driving home yesterday and just before I got to the house I saw a young family pushing a stroller and carrying a toddler. The father stuck his thumb out so I stopped to see if they needed. He said they were going to Sedona, AZ. I said I was just checking to see if they were OK and went...

I'm not sure which I have. Looking online the Synergy and Rubicon Express HD steering looks the same. Are they? I've been chasing down death wobble. Got the tires balanced yesterday and asked them to check alignment, but they said they wouldn't be able to adjust it because there's too much play...

I was thinking it'd be cool to try driving over big logs in the road vs. having to clear them, I have a winch to dry myself across if necessary. But the front driveshaft hangs down. This may be one situation where long arms provide benefit. Is there a simple answer here? Like this YJ here (try...

The splines on my Adam's shaft is sticky. This seems to be a common issue so I'm going to replace with Tom Woods. From the website: It makes sense that the standard S spline seals better and should last longer if it's enough travel. I don't seek out mud but it gets wet here. Is the S enough...

These came with the jeep. Looks like rough country disconnects? Where's the best place to find replacement bushings?

Starting a thread to throw out little activity reports where you don't want to start a separate thread for. I decided to go up the mountain yesterday, thinking I'd go until the snow stopped my and then I'd switch to skis. Found the stinger works for carrying skis. But they should be covered to...
