    MOAB EJS 2023 Concept Jeeps - Let Us Know what you Think!

    Scrambler is my favorite; love the v8. I think the Cherokee is interesting, mainly because retro-fitting old bodies onto new frames is definitely a market. Might not love the 4xe platform but they are selling like hotcakes so can't fault Jeep for showing it off.

    And so it Begins... the 392

    We have a set of the XD231 RGs on our JL .. running 37" Ridge Grapplers as it happens ... quite happy with them. I have Hutchisons on my JT. I really like them but they are damn heavy. 37 Trail Grapplers + wheels are over 120lbs.

    Have the KMCs painted bronze to match the 392 rims, problem solved :)

    In The Shop - Disciple Off Road

    Decided to give it a try. Thanks to Jeremy for hooking up with a set of the EVO rock skins! Couple things to note. The 3M tape is very strong but it's not a nutsert. I didn't notice that one bolt on the rock sliders was touching the rock skins. Next morning the pressure of the bolt...

    Anyone know how to protect LED lights in Snow storm?

    Oracle makes a set of heated lights for the JL/JTs But, early versions were prone to yellowing (assuming they got so hot that the lenses discolored). They have a newer version out but I haven't seen much feedback on them yet.

    In The Shop - Disciple Off Road

    Oh that's an interesting idea. Cover up the dents I got from the aluminum LoD sliders !

    ACCUAIR Suspension System GIVEAWAY

    Wow... that's a great giveaway. Sign me up ! An ACCUAIR system would be perfect for dealing the with extra load in the Gladiator when overlanding or hauling stuff in the bed. As Eddie and Cindy have shown, it also works just fine for the types of offroading we do as well ! Would have...

    If you like Aussie Shiraz, this is a pretty damn fine example.

    LOD Destroyer sliders, save your money

    I destroyed a set of the LOD Armor Lite aluminum sliders on the Rubicon last summer. Now have the Destroyers (same mounting brackets so it was an easy swap) but both are simply too close to the rocker panels and if they flex at all they will hit. I believe LOD has started using thicker shims...

    Wines of the Week

    Magnum of this on Saturday night with some friends. Pardon the horrid label scrapes... magnums don't quite fit in my wine cellar properly.

    JT Gladiator rear triangulated long arm.

    RK does make the cradle for Dynatrac and Dana 60s... One of those might fit the Advance Drive Line axle. Otherwise you would likely need to have something custom fab'd I have the Prox-X on my JT and it's been great. I understand why you want to keep it.

    Max tow sway bar bigger?

    You shouldn't need to do any welding. The JK brackets and bushings work fine ... If the ones you have don't have the small bar that holds up the motor , it's mopar part 68260703AA. And you'll need the rubber isolator for the motor mount. Easy to find as a "2002-2012 Dodge Ram 1500...

    CB & GMRS antenna location

    Most common mount I've seen is just a simple L bracket that is mounted to one of the bolts on the cowl. My gladiator uses one of the stubby antennas and its mounted in front of the windshield, on the plastic cowling. Doesn't get caught by branches but I'm sure I'm sacrificing range... As...

    VIDEO : TALL to SMALL - ACCUAIR Suspension System Lets You do it All

    You need a bigger garage ! Definitely an interesting system. I can see it being popular with the overlanding crowd where your payload changes from daily driver to overloaded toy hauler.

    The "Delicate Flower" Build

    Naw.. I didn't complain. I'm the one dragging the wheels over rocks and they really aren't that expensive.

    Bumper Recommendations

    Another vote for LOD .. I have them front "shorty" and rear Destoryer on my JT. The rear has the extra frame tie ins and the side "bed sliders". The rear has taken a lot of abuse coming off rocks and has held up very well.

    EVO WAYALIFE Jeep Gladiator w/Trailing Arms - SEMA 2022

    That's amazing. Mel and team really do build some impressive stuff. Gotta think that this JT setup becomes as sought after as the double throw down rear on the JKs.

    CARNAGE!! Let's See Your Best Breaks & Trail Damage

    Not my carnage but scary... 2dr JK behind me on a Rubicon Trail run ... we had just finished the Cadillac Hill climb when there was a pop and front left tire deflated instantly. The older gentleman driving the JK had just had his brakes done a couple days previously. One of the caliper...

    The "Delicate Flower" Build

    Nothing quick. They are held in with locking nuts on the back side so you can't get out the broken piece without breaking down the rim. So not a trail fix but certainly doable (and done) over a couple beers at camp that night..... assuming you are carrying spares. Hutchisons are pretty...
