Hood louver was installed, I really dig the look of it, and it melts the snow pretty quick! :clap2: I've been working with a buddy who has access to a waterjet who will be cutting out rock rings for Double Deuce. Some of my designs to choose from: Aluminum mockup: He's placing an...

Returned from an amazing trip to Windrock Park in Tennessee last week. Took about 12 hours to drive down there with all the stops, wheeled 3 days straight, spent a night in Nashville, and then headed back to Green Bay. The first trail day was spent doing mostly green trails to take in the...

Clutch has been working great so that's a relief. Installed an Ultimate44 along with new front upper/lower MC control arms. A small group of us from the Green Bay area are heading down to Tennessee on Friday to wheel Windrock - will post photos later on!

Power bled the system at my buddy's shop and the clutch seems to be ok - I still occasionally feel temporary pressure in the clutch but not as often as before; going to pull the slave in the upcoming weeks to inspect for rips/failed seals. We are currently in the high 50's so it was time to get...

2008 JKU 6-Speed, 123,xxx miles About 2 months ago, I had my clutch/flywheel/pressure plate and slave cylinder replaced. After bleeding the slave, my clutch pedal was loose up to about 50% of its cycle before it started disengaging the clutch. After driving some time, it seemed to build up...

Lost all pressure in the clutch last week about 45 minutes from home - brought it to the dealership to find out the hydraulic line blew right out of the slave cylinder. Slave cylinder was pulled to find that the o-rings were shot and the small boot ripped. I asked that they replace the entire...

Put the soft top on last weekend and then we got a good 6” of snow - think spring! Also installed the Amazon switch pod - pretty easy install except for removing the cage to run wires. I like the overall look and design; it’s sad that all I have are my mall crawlin lights though. Also...

New switch pod came today - Amazon special with loads of great reviews. Will be nice to have a voltmeter to monitor the battery after the alternator and battery replacement earlier this year. Jeep is still at the shop waiting for lift space for he clutch replacement. Sent from my...

What is everyone using for photo editing and/or video editing for their Jeeps on the trail and other trips? I'm running a 32-bit version of W7 so some of the Photoshop and Affinity Photo options aren't available (only for 64-bit). Also, what do you shoot with? I'm running a D3200, recently...

Spent some time at my buddy's shop again this week - found where my clicking was coming from - front drive shaft joint at the transfer case gave out: Right now I'm running the spare shaft until that one goes out; then I'll be looking to upgrade.

Spent another day at the shop on Saturday; replaced inner axle seals, axle u-joints, installed EVO rear shock skids, and removed the outer axle seals (trapped all kinds of crap in the axle tubes - go figure). Still have a clicking up front so we'll be swapping out drive shafts on Wednesday to...

Spent some time Saturday putting 10+ coats of paint on the new red RockSport shocks along with testing the travel out. At full flex, I'm at 33" between the floor and bottom of tire. And there's an axle seal that needs to be replaced as well :thinking: We then went out near Lakewood on...

Picked ours up on Saturday - few ratchet straps and away we go! Not sure why we get the tree shook, it does enough of that going down the freeway for 30 minutes :crazyeyes:
