After dealing with some hydro assist issues I've decided to replace my reservoir with a PSC reservoir. It is my understanding that while I could trim my factory box it is really easier to just run a CAI (especially considering I have already done some whittling to add the cooler to my existing...

While researching for winter/spring projects I have become so confused on locker options and PR44 housing differences that I just thought I would post my goal here and hopefully you can set me straight. Both the wife and I have JKs. My plan was to get a PR44 to replace the Rubicon axle in my...

I woke up to a new article on Allpar-news "Toledo torpedoes labor contract". After all the fighting to keep their precious Jeep, now this? In fairness, I am too disconnected to know all of the ins-and-outs of the contract but it does bring up my disdain for unions. The article:

I'm not a fan of company bitch threads, but I do want to inform other potential buyers of products and companies to avoid when I have had problems. In this case, it is Firewire LED. I learned about this company while watching Ian with project Lockjaw (Xtreme Off-Road). He used some LED...

I'm loosely in the market for a JK rear D44 axle. I am in the planning/prepping stages of stretching the wife's Jeep and it would be nice to have an axle on the side to prep for installing to make a faster turn-around when I start the stretch in the spring. To be honest, the less that has been...

I didn't see where anyone had shared this yet, but I thought I would post up some of the pictures I was able to snag tonight. Not too bad for a fairly cheap point-and-shoot :D As you can see I was playing will all sorts a modes to try to get the best picture.....

Howdy everyone.... I thought I would start a build thread for some of the stuff we get into. (Seems everyone else has one and I wanted to be cool too.) ;) While both the wife's and my Jeep are pretty far along, We are typical Jeep owners and they are never truly done. :driving: I'll kick it...

The last several years I have struggled with some winter blues around February. This coming winter we want to get away for a long weekend to some warmer weather around that time. I would like to keep it in the contiguous states for now. Leaving the country will keep me from a longer vacation...

First, I wasn't quite sure where to put this... So mods, move it if there is a better spot. Has anyone ever heard or run Full Metal Fabworks stuff? Care to comment? I have a good friend that is considering their products and I've never heard of them. http://www.fullmetalfabworks.com/ ^^^...

Evening all, I'd like to meet a few of the Southwestern Ohio WAL members. I live smack in the middle of Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus so let me know if you are interested in meeting up and where you are located so I can pick a place central to the bell-curve of the interested parties. I'm...

For those of you that have often frequented RC but haven't made it out since last fall. You may be disappointed in some of the changes that were made over the winter (and some that are still going on). It is my understanding when the property that RC sits on was obtained there were two existing...

I noticed on my recent road trip to/from Rausch Creek that after a bit of highway time my steering wheel felt loose. Kind-of like there was play in the wheel. It would turn left/right about 5-10 degrees before the steering firmed up and the Jeep started to actually turn. At lower speeds (<50)...

Good morning all... In my last trip to RC I handed my camera over to my son. He took a ton of good pictures, but his video is a little Blair Witch Project if you catch my drift :grayno: As it stands, I can't use much of it. I hate to hurt his feelings, but I will need to cut it up and slow...

I planned a trip for my local club to Rausch Creek months ago for the May 16/17 weekend. Originally, I had about 15 Jeeps coming with us but the number has trickled to only a few so I wanted to open this up to WAL. Before you say yes, know that this weekend is also the weekend another forum is...

I just had to share with my WAL family the great time I had wheeling with my local club yesterday! This was a wheeling season opener that I thought I would miss after my recent ARB install oops. Luckily, I ended up being able to make all the tweaks and break-ins to at least a point of semi...

If you are swapping a JK Rubicon locker for an ARB learn from my mistake! Well, this is not the way we had hoped to end our second test drive after our recent gear change. As part of this gear swap we also replaced the factory Rubicon Locker with an ARB air locker. This unfortunately is where...

I just swapped my hydraulic assist ram. (The one I was originally sent did not have enough stroke.) The first ram went easy peasy as far as the bleeding goes. This one however is kicking my ass. What I've done: -Cycled the steering (engine off) lock to lock with ram disconnected at tie rod at...

Good morning West Coasters, and happy lunch East Coasters ;) I recently swapped gears in my 13' JKUR. I have an interested buyer in my old 4.10s but I'm not sure about axle compatibility. I know the rear is a "gen 2" and that means 8.8" ring VS earlier 8.5" along with some bearing differences...

We started our gear swap today and the rear carrier got cocked a bit coming out. Alana (wife) had a bad swing with a mallet and broke the locker coil connector off.:doh: Now I'm not sure what to do... Is the coil available as a separate part? (everyone is closed to talk to) Long term plans...

I'm supposed to help a buddy change ball joints this weekend. He got these: http://www.yukongear.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProdID=12422 Anyone have any feedback on them? For the price he paid (~$55 a side) for upper and lower it seems like a great deal, unless of course they have a history of...
