Grandkids just came out to AZ for a visit. Doing my part to introduce them to the Wayalife. :) Plus the Jeep got a new job - towing the Rzr and trailer. I had been wondering whether the Jeep could pull a fairly heavy trailer on top of being lifted, bigger tires, etc. Was real happy to learn...

Here are pics of the 3" fronts and rears compared to the Teraflex coils I replaced with the plush rides. Fronts measured 19.75, rears 17.5.

When I was planning my Jeep build last fall I wanted to know if I could install a GenRight Off Road (GOR) tire carrier over Poison Spyder Custom (PSC) JK Rear Corners and make it work and look OEM. Called GOR and PSC and asked their tech support people. Both said we never tried it so we can't...

My 2013 JKUR popped up the MIL (yellow engine symbol or check engine light) light on the dash about a month ago at only 4500 miles on the odometer. Dropped Jeep off at dealer, they read the codes: P06DD - oil pressure control circuit and P0456 - sm evap leak. Dealer performed a flash update as...

Sorry, I didn't explain my point too well so I will try again. Here is Dynatrac's description of what I meant copied from the link in my last post: "As you can see by the drawing, stock caster to pinion angle separation is 6*. This is represented as the pinion at 0* (zero rise) or 90* at the...

I don't have the facia but I trimmed the frame rail enough to be flush with the D-ring mounts and there is still a little of the weld left. Looks good enough to me so I don't plan to re-weld. Here are some pics: Before trim: After trim:

Hi I'm Bill Wood, live in Fountain Hills, small town on east side of Phoenix. Moved to AZ from NJ 19 years ago. Retired a while back, just got my first Jeep late last summer (2013 JKUR, manual) should have done that a long time ago. Competitive shooting has been my main hobby but the Jeep is...

I have a 2013 JK 4 door with a factory drive shaft running EVO 3" plush rides. What is the correct angle for the rear pinion? Should the pinion center line be parallel to the transfer case center line (basically parallel to the ground) as in the first pic below or should it point up directly...

I have a 2013 JKUR with a Teraflex 3" lift kit. In the process of installing EVO 3" plush ride springs (replacing the TF springs) I discovered that the TF rear Monster trackbar is hitting the exhaust pipe on the driver's side right at the muffler connection just before full stuff. Flipped the...

Just got the Genright carrier (aluminum version) delivered yesterday. I had a bunch of questions before ordering that were answered when I got my hands on it. Here are some pics and info which might help anybody thinking about a swing out tire carrier. First of all the carrier arrived in huge...

Recently got ATX Slabs. I mounted my still new Toyo 35s on the Slabs but Discount Tire balanced and installed them on the Jeep using the still new Gorilla lug nuts (1/2x20) that were already on the Jeep. I had them snug the lug nuts by hand and then torque them to 90 ft/lbs (I specified 90...

I installed a Teraflex 3" lift (with all 8 adjustable arms) in my 2013 JKRU and followed TF's specs for control arm length. Here are TF's specs for a 3" lift: Front lowers: Driver - 23 7/8"; Pass 24 1/8" (factory front lowers are both 22 5/8") [TF wants the passenger side lower arm longer to...

Just installed 3" EVO plush ride coils in the rear of my 2013 JKUR. I am ready to put the wheels back on and start the front springs. I am replacing the Teraflex 3" coils that I previously installed because they are too stiff. The EVO coils bow out toward the rear of the Jeep pretty...

Just got EVO Plush Ride springs and D Ring rear mounts. Test fit the D Ring mounts and they are recessed quite a bit in the rear frame rails. I would like to cut the frame flush with the mounts but if I do all of the weld on the inside and top of the rails will be removed, that's maybe 20% of...
