    Subaru Outback does Swan River Middle Fork

    Breckenridge, CO. Yesterday, we ran Swan River North Fork uphill, and across the top to Middle Fork, and back down. When we came down the "obstacle" (steep, very rocky section) we found a Subaru Outback in trouble. He had come in from another easier trail and got onto this one in error. He had...

    Problem with Savvy motor mount lift

    I'm installing a Savvy Motor Mount Lift, and ran into a problem. I have one of the extensions mounted on the OEM motor mount stud, and I'm trying to "slip" it into the lift block. Pushing, shoving, tapping with a rubber mallet does nothing. So I checked the other pair, and they're the same...

    SOLD H&R #52107 spring set

    About a 1" lift for the Wrangler TJ (but NOT for the TJ Unlimited aka LJ). This is the lowest mileage used set of springs you'll ever find. The front springs were never installed. I installed the rear springs in my 2005 TJ Unlimited and rolled it about 20 feet from the garage to the driveway...

    Barnes Bolt On Skid vs 3" Drop Skid

    I'm thinking about replacing the factory shovel on my '05 LJ with a shallower skid. I've looked at all of the UCF options, but at the moment I'm checking out the Barnes skids. Their TJ Bolt On Skid Plate looks good, but it only gives about 3/4" extra ground clearance. I would like a little more...

    OldBuzzard's 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

    I had a 1974 CJ5 back in the early '80s, used for wheeling in the Colorado mountains. When the family came along, I switched to something a little bigger. In recent years I've had a series of 4WD pickups, most recently a couple of first-generation Tacomas. But I have wanted another "real Jeep"...

    2" Lift for LJ: Yet Another Spring Discussion

    I have a stock 2005 Unlimited (LJ) with a hardtop on 31-inch tires, as a daily city driver, with regular wheeling trips to the mountains when the weather allows. And I pull a heavy-ish trailer a few times a year. Yes, I'm trying to do 3 very different jobs with one vehicle. I want to lift it...

    Control Arms for 1.5" Lift

    I'm planning to lift my 2005 TJ Unlimited by about 1.5" to 2", keeping my current 31" tires. I'll probably use the H&R 1" springs and a small spacer. And track bars and shocks and swaybar links, of course. I've been reading the forum, following some of the builds. But I still have this question...

    New old buzzard from Colorado

    Hi all. I've been reading various Jeep forums for several years, but this one beats them all, so I decided to join. I had a CJ5 several decades ago, followed by a series of 4WD pickup trucks, but I've been looking for a TJ Unlimited for the last few years. Finally found the perfect one with...
