I've seen a few options for a homemade (and cheap) Sway Bar quick-disco, but I don't trust your average internet genius as much as your average Wayalife genius, so- anyone done this? What did you use? How well has it worked? Are your parts wearing out? '14 JKU, Billet.

She's in the movie, but the (IMHO) much more attractive Gal Gadot is playing the role. '14 JKU, Billet.

I have a dilemma to solve. I have some friends that relatively routinely do some trail riding/rock crawling around here. The problem is that the trails they frequent require at least a little bit of lift to negotiate without scrubbing skid plates, and maybe the diff? It's dirt for the most...

Marathon Key, two days ago: '14 JKU, Billet.

OBX of NC- there and back BEFORE Arthur decided to visit. Great trip! '14 JKU, Billet. Rubi rails, more to come.

My 16yo step-daughter needs her first vehicle. She's a responsible kid, and she's saved up a few thousand dollars. There's a fair number of XJs available around here, and being an awesome red-blooded American girl, she's in love with them. Am I crazy for thinking about putting a teenage girl...

Rattle can Rustoleum has left me very pleased. This was much cheaper than buying the wheels that I want, but absolutely can't afford. '14 JKU, Billet. Rubi rails, more to come.

While I was wiring a CB the other day, I heard for about the 4th time, what sounded like an electric motor or servo behind the dash actuating at seemingly random intervals while everything was turned off. When I had the glove box out I was able to see that there was in fact some sort of...

Hey folks- Looking at installing a CB soon for use on-trail, and I was wondering if anyone had answers for a couple of questions: 1. Has anyone done an overhead mount (like above the rear view mirror) without a sport cage? Is there an easy way to accomplish this? 2. How much coax will I need...

So this (incredibly rich, eccentric) guy is building the "ultimate" expedition vehicle to show his daughter the world, and based it on a UniMog. The whole time I was reading this article, all I could think was "He didn't think about a Jeep?" http://www.wired.com/2014/04/worlds-biggest-rv/

But I made my first real mod to my '14 JKU today. Found a pair of Rubi Rails on Craigslist and threw them on. One step closer to feeling like a real Jeeper.

I'm looking for a set of Rubi Rails to finish off the bottom edge of my JKU Sport before I invest in some serious sliders. Anyone have a pair they're looking to part with?

At the moment- rolling down the road watching this thing:

It's 70-degrees and BEAUTIFUL here today, and there's an off-road Jamboree 40 minutes away. Unfortunately, I'm stuck at work not saving lives today. Misery lives company- what are you doing today instead of the wheeling fun we'd all love to be having?

Thought this was too cool not to share with you Wayalifers- this isn't my Jeep, but I'm totally stealing this idea with a NC theme for my JKU. Credit goes to Reddit user /u/WDer:
