    Jeep Clubs?

    Has anyone in here had much involvement with Jeep clubs? I'm always looking for people to wheel with and clubs seemed like a potential way to meet folks. Then I look at websites and start reading about bylaws, patrols, mandatory meetings, ECT. Offered to help out a club with trail maintenance...

    These videos from the 1930's are pretty cool, make more sense than anything I've seen so far. How differentials work Transmissions for dummies

    SOLD Patriot blue stock fenders (set)

    Have a set of Patriot Blue OEM fenders. Good condition, not perfect. They have a few "Colorado pinstripes", could use fresh paint. Check out pics below. Would prefer to sell as a set and local pick up. Asking $250 for the set. Still have the factory rubber splash guard and lights included

    More what is this? Rear passenger above wheel well

    Going from Poison Spider steel armor to aluminum Genrights. Of course nothing lines up so shaving even more weight one hole at a time (pic 1). I have flush mount tail lights that need to be relocated to cover a hole in the Genright armor (pics 2& 3). Was easy enough on driver side but theres a...

    Motobilt aluminum front fenders?

    I see Motobilt is offering aluminum fenders now. Torn between them and Genrights. I know theres a lot of Genright fans in here. Anyone running the Motos? Their website sucks, no photos of the fenders mounted. Leaning towards the Genrights just because the roll seems to look smoother than the...

    Kelly Flats Memorial Day

    Two of us in TJs. Had another guy we hadn't met follow one of our lines and showed off all his underside around 3:20 mark. Fun day in the mountains, everyone home safe with no damage.

    High pitched sound in transmission pan & bubbly ATF

    02 4.0 auto with 181k miles Today when getting some suspension parts upgraded the jeep was on a lift and there was a high pitched whirring/squealing sound coming from the trans pan. We put a listening device up to it and it’s definitely in the trans pan. Techs had no idea what it could be...

    Hub Conversion

    So thinking of just saying screw it with trying to figure out why I'm getting vibrations after regear. Sure, I might be too low in gearing for 33s, but it was for 35s in the future. Had plenty of folks tell me I should go with 5.13s even with 33s when I stated I was thinking of doing 4.56. Long...

    Mix and match fenders and wells

    I found a good deal on used aluminum Poison Spider inner fenders wells. I want to go with Genright fenders sometime soon. Has anyone mixed and matched? Any reason the two won't work together? Concerns would be if Genrights change shape of the fender well somehow and it leaves gaps? Anything...

    Ticking sound coming from 2004 LJ

    Educate me on axles

    Looking to upgrade rear axel shafts. 2004 Rubi, geared to 5.13, stock F&R lockers, on 35's. If I've read correctly, splines need to match lockers and spider gears? Stock rubicon is 30 spline, so if I have stock lockers is it safe to assume the shafts that are in are currently 30 spline? I'm 2nd...

    Moody Hill

    Moody Hill is rated moderate but found a quarry area that was like a skate park for Jeeps. So many obstacles to play on. Neither one of us know the area, so was fun just exploring. Lower altitude for out here so hopefully get a few more tries before it gets snowed in

    Rancho & Bilstein Stats

    These have been reviewed in here several times but this was the first fact based thing I could find so thought I would share. I currently have 5100 Bilsteins on my rears with a 5.5" long arm lift & 35s. Front shocks are Fox 2.0 ready for a rebuild and think rears could be replaced. Ride beats...

    First lap through Kelly Flats

    Took my first run through Kelly Flats, in Northern Colorado. Made it up Heart Attack Hill and through the Chutes without winching or any bypasses. Watched a buggy flop on its side and a guy on 40's (I'm on 35's) get hooked up right before it was my turn into the Chutes. Wish I had video of...

    I have an 04", manual Rubi with 45k miles. I am no mechanic but can follow youtube and been reading this forum pretty much daily. Street legal but primarily used on trails. I wheel minimum once a week, usually more. Trails are moderate to what I think is difficult. Do regular fluid changes, did...

    Thors Lightning 4 wheel system/airing up

    Has anyone tried one of these yet? Wheeled with a guy today that aired up 4 tires in under a minute with his power tank. I can do 1 wheel in about 45sec with my tank or 20min for all 4 with my ARB. Seemed like a pretty cool set up. Have heard about the 4 tire systems but this was first time...

    Rear cargo / horse stall mat

    I have 150 pound of dogs that go everywhere with me. Been searching for a rear cargo pad that was easy to clean, waterproof and durable. Also wanted something a little thicker to protect dogs from getting slammed around while off road. Looked at Bedrug but didn't seem worth the price or sturdy...
