Thanks. The wrangler suspension is very different than what I had on the solid axle swapped xterra. Realistically, how long did it take you to install that rancho kit? Your video was about 1.5hrs. Just looking to plan out when I can tackle it.

I used an ebay listing from a KY dealership when I bought my 350z. They had 3 Nismo editions listed for model life clearance since the 370s were ariving. A Denver dealer had 2 on lot for about $12k more. Nothing different than the KY dealer other than "market adjustment" so I said I would...

A coworker wanted to see how I wired my new winch. I showed and he asked where the cutoff switch and fuse where after he saw it wired directly to both battery terminals. I said, the cutoff switch is the remote you plug in and the fuse is internal.

I have a Harbor Frieght 5 minutes from me and they had a set with it for $20. It is not included in the 2.5 inch kit. Should I order a rear track bar? And one more question. This parts list shows different part number for left & right springs. They were not labeled L & R and came in the...

Skid plate

Why did you get rid of it? The only think I didnt like was the skid plates. I got it installed before the bumper, then had to take it off to bolt down the winch. But I could only get 4 of the 6 bolts installed. The lower bolt and only 1 of the 2 upper bolts on each side.

Bumper & winch

So I have received all the boxes for the stage 4 overland enforcer kit. I was hyped to install it this weekend after watch the rancho lift install video. But then I read through the EVO instructions and got cold feet and I stalled the front bumper and winch instead. And needing a 24mm wrench...

200ish trip from Highlands Ranch through Rocky Mtn NP over Berthod Pass and Trail Ridge Road.

So is this a thing in Jeeps?

I guess it could be aluminum clad in plastic. It sounds like plastic when you tap on it. The mounting holes are black, not metallic colored. The jug nuts attached to a steal plate with the three lug.

I still see far more new Jeeps in the Denver area. I looked at the Broncos but, to me they look dumb. But so do a lot of vehicles going for the retro look. By the time I priced one to be equivalent to the rubicon,they were not far apart. I thought the driveabilty of the v6 was better than...

Just install this bumper and tire carrier. Could Jeep make a bumper out of more parts? And I can't believe a plastic bracket is all that is holding the spare on. I had heard stories about jeep gates or tire carriers falling off, now I see why. This thing was a bit more complicated than I...

Don't make the same mistake reading the wiring diagram for the ARB... Use the red wire to connect to the Jeep auxiliary wires for the air compressor only.

No problem. I am a tinkerer and engineer. I also had all the fittings and hoses in a junk bin, so all I needed was to figure out a bracket solution. The only thing I don't like about my setup was the stainless hose. It rubs against the washer fluid, so I wrapped it with flexseal tape and the...
