    Then & Now Pics - Let's See em!

    The day I got it...trying to figure out what the hell a "sway bar disconnect" did :blush: A little over a year (and a few mods) later I finally figured it out

    Let's See Your Beadlocks

    B.A.D. Wheels 17x10 with 37" maxxis trepadors I love these wheels - they're a bit of a challenge to mount but once you get the first one done, they're not bad. The internal beadlock mechanism makes them "street legal" (with DOT Stamp inside the wheel) for what that's worth. I routinely run...

    Metal Cloak fenderz

    Just curious - what do you base this on? Are you running or have you installed MC fenders? Have you seen some fail to protect the tub on the trail? Maybe Poison Spyder or Gen-Right or whomever are just as good, but either way I'd reorder these fenders any day. The few pics (wish I had more)...

    Three cracked Pintlers...

    I know I keep harping on these things in various threads, but B.A.D. wheels are a great option. They're 100% made in America, reasonably priced for beadlocks ($369) and are D.O.T compliant (they even have the stamp inside the wheel). I was seriously considering the AEV beadlocks but was...

    Corrosion inside rear differential?

    So a few months ago I changed out my rear diff fluid and cleaned the gears etc with brake cleaner. It looked like this . I reseated the stock cover with rtv and filled it with royal purple. Good to go. Last weekend I noticed a small drop of fluid on the bottom of the diff cover - and on...

    Best way to clean engine compartment

    Kind of a newb question...but what is the best way to clean the engine compartment of my JK? Can I just take it to the car wash and power wash it? I've heard the engine should be running if you do it that way (???). Is there anything that I would need to stay away from (with the water) in there...

    OR Fab rear tire carrier question

    Going up to 37s in 2 weeks, so I have to get rid of my crappy smittybilt tire carrier. As much as I'd love the Genright or Evo carrier, with all the money I'm spending on beadlocks and maxxis treps, $1000+ is not a realistic price for me to pay for a tire carrier (I know the steel GR is $900 -...

    Sitting pretty and flexing shots with stats....please

    Rear diff issue - hopefully someone can help me avoid the dealership

    So I know there's another thread out there with the same issue - but I tried the fix the worked for that guy, and I'm still having an issue. At 13k miles my 2013 JKU rubicon rear diff has stopped unlocking. I've taken the diff cover offer, manually unlocked it, cleaned it out very thoroughly and...

    AEV heat reduction hood vs Poison Spyder Hood louver

    I've been setting aside money for the AEV heat reduction hood (long days crawlin' in the south TX sun...), but I just caught wind of this poison spyder hood louver which costs about 1/8th as much. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm particularly interested in how it performs - i.e. how effective is it...
