    What do you use to hang your TJ doors?

    I'm curious to see what everyone is using to store their TJ full doors in the Summer. I'd thought of just some generic wall hangers from Lowes or Home Depot, but I wanted to see if there was anything more creative out there. The main thing is keeping them from being damaged while they are being...

    How-to install adjustable control arms on a Jeep Wrangler TJ / LJ

    I've noticed lately on a few of the forums im on, that alot of guys don't know how to properly set up fully adjustable arms. Everyone asks "how long...", or "they didn't give a measurement." That's because the measurement is Jeep specific. Every one is different. Also don't focus on how long the...

    All about crawl ratios and gearing on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    What’s the deal with the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon’s four-to-one (4:1) transfer case? What about those 4.10 gears in those beefy Dana 44 axles? Why is it that when people put bigger tires on their vehicles, they have to “re-gear?” Well, the goal of all of this gearing is to help the vehicle transmit...

    Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon Factory Locker Bypass (use your lockers in 4 Hi)

    The Rubicon came with lockers, but DC decided to add a little bit of safety. So you can't engage them above 10 mph, at 45 mph they disengage (45 in 4-low = scary), and you have to be in 4-low. Well I didn't like this idea of having to be in 4-low to engage them. I like my options. I don't...

    What is bump steer?

    If you have ever driven a lifted Jeep one thing you notice is the steering. If special care is not taken in the design the vehicle will dodge and dart whenever a bump or hole in the road is hit. This is because the drag link is either being pushed or pulled by the vertical suspension movement...
