    suspension lift block help

    Can you flip the axle, if it is resting on the spring, pull it and put it under the springs. I did this on a 5x7 utility and ran 31-10.50 tires.

    I'm back in a Jeep, a JKU

    I was directing my response towards the "it's not a Rubicon?" comment. No war planned, but I knew it would set off someone. Too much diveristy on here to meddle in the JK mod war. I agree with you, and as said before, I love anything off-road.

    I'm back in a Jeep, a JKU

    Oh yeah! It would be a travesty if that happened. Considering it is the flagship of the Jeep line. I was directing my response towards the "it's not a Rubicon?" comment, not all owners. A lot of people outside the Jeep realm, who don't own one say comment that too, but that is what is fed into...

    I'm back in a Jeep, a JKU

    There are exceptions to the rule of course, and I did not specify "all" people. But you cannot deny that there are large groups of owners that develop clicks and classes of Jeeps that judge standards on others. I am not judging you either, as I have never met you. I have been around long enough...

    I'm back in a Jeep, a JKU

    Nice looking! I like the use the KISS method for modifying. It is easier to find factory parts than look for aftermarket hop up items. The Rubicon is an ego and the Hype part of Jeep. If Rubicons were the best, they wouldn't be modified would they? My Sport does Just fine, and I have never...

    What width front bumper are you running and why did you pick that one? (JK)

    I just run the RC steel endcaps and a RR light bar. I like the look. If I do get a winch, I will integrate into the stock and keep it hidden. It does help with turning and clearance. I still retain the fog lights and tow hooks. It lets you get tighter in. Here is mine vs stock side by side.

    Need help please. I know nothing about jeeps.

    Well, not really. But I have a body lift of 1 inch, that makes a little difference. Dependes on the bumper.

    Need help please. I know nothing about jeeps.

    Well, you have 2 options. 1. Remove the tailgate poison spyder cover. Mount the factory spare tire carrier on the tailgate and relocate the license plate. 2. Buy a rear Poison Spyder tire carrier for the bumper, I would contact poison spyder for the exact fitment. You will still need to...

    Bed drawer/storage/platform help or ideas

    I wonder if your original plan with the adition of the cap would work for your. That wood in the elements, and moisture being trapped by the bedliner could have been the demise. The nice drawer system you built out of the weather should last a lot longer. The side flaps were just loose and...

    Wrangler Unlimited grille

    Agree with Ratman. Add some accessories to the front and blend it in, The inserts can look slick IMO, but to put the whole cover mesk on with rivets looks like you are tying to hard to be radical. It just doesn't work for me. A nice front bumper with some lights will draw your attention away...

    JK Snorkles

    Did the snorkel myself, after months of balling up to cut the hood on a Jeep with only 10k miles. But I did and was worth every penny. It is nice to just not have to worry about the airbox and water. So far the design works well.. I added a RR lightbar, it fit with the snorkel by adding a spacer...

    Help. No Power to Trailer Running Lights, 2009 JKU

    Is your ball clean? I have the 4 pin that plugs into the driver's tail light. The trailer needs a good ground, and I had my lights acting up due to a ground issue,due to I greased my ball. Wiped it clean and it fixed the problem. If he plug isn't hot, prob a broken wire along the route.

    anyone bedline the interior

    Oh yeah, I used the Herculiner kit. It did a '11 4 door Jeep complete interior. I love it. I did learn on my TJ trade, to keep the carpet handy, dealers like carpet. The Herculiner was easy and turned out great. It is great to pull the plugs and get a hose to clean out the interior, no worries...
