    Favorite South Park scenes / clips

    There's just so many, but this one really hit home at the time. Seemed like everywhere I went earlier that day had the hard press for donations at the register.

    Light bars

    Came across a short clip from a typical night run. RGB Lux Rock Lights underneath set to Red and Rigid D-Series amber lights up front.

    Got my first trailer!

    After several months of trailers running through my mind morning, day, and night, I ended up getting an in-stock unit from my local Diamond C dealer. I knew I wanted Diamond C because I've become a fan of their build process, growth, and available lineup and options. I've probably built...

    Light bars

    Like others have said, unless you're up front it's best to keep the lumens down, and low. I used to talk all kinds of garbage about lightbars until I rode in rig in the middle of the night working our way through access roads at a good pace. A quality light with a good beam was critical to us...

    Airing Down Devices

    I've had several deflators over the years. From cheap caps that screw on and depress the valve, to mechanically pre-set deflators, and now Power Tank Monster valves. I currently use the regular valve to attach the pressure gauge, and open the monster valve to deflate. Very quick. I think any...

    Rugged duel battery ridge isolation kit

    I ran a dual battery system for a while back before LED lighting was what it is now. Only damn thing those dual batteries were good for is killing batteries two at a time and becoming a fire hazard. I went through 8 yellow top optimas real quick and pulled that crap out. Haven't missed it...

    AUTONOMOUS WHEELING - The Next Big Thing Since Sliced Bread!

    I just can't relate to this concept. Or comprehend the staff who approved to take it this far.

    Aftermarket Seat Install: Seatbelt Air Bag Warning Lights

    I still have my seatbelt and airbag lights on after my aftermarket seats, harnesses, and steering wheel. You get kinda used to it after while. Eventually I'll dig into it and see if I can get them to switch off, but its well down my priority list. From my understanding there's seatbelt...

    38's - Are They the New 37?

    I really hadn't heard of them till the Patagonia tires came around and were getting pushed hard. To me it seemed like a new sales tactic or marketing technique at the time. My guess is If I'm standing there with a choice of 37's or 38's and they're priced the same, I'd just go with the 38's.

    Best roll cage?

    Those guys are spot on with the comments about the strength factory cage. I put a Genright cage in my Jeep the year before last and it's an eye-opener how thick that metal is that's used on the OEM cages. I got the cage because my JK is 12 years old and I don't typically have the top or doors...

    Where to start?

    You will certainly be surprised how capable your jeep is as it sits right now, but if I was starting over I would start looking at lift/wheels/tires. That's assuming you already have basic tools, recovery equipment, a high-lift jack, and recovery points on your vehicle in front and back since...

    Aftermarket seats

    The constant chime is turned off, but I haven't addressed the airbag and seatbelt lights yet. Maybe I'll get to it at some point this year, but it's low on my priority list. A google search for turning the "wrangler seatbelt chime off" will pull up the procedure.

    DYNATRAC SAFETY RECALL on 1550 Steering Knuckles

    My replacement knuckles arrived yesterday. This whole thing is certainly unexpected and inconvenient, I'm grateful it was posted here for those of us yet to be contacted. I think $245 is reasonable. This isn't $xxx/hr caliber work, but good shops that charge higher fees are justified, so I...

    DYNATRAC SAFETY RECALL on 1550 Steering Knuckles

    They got it all handled pretty quick. I got the invoice same as above. My tracking info says they'll deliver in two days. Also got this when I inquired about the changes: "The Replacement knuckles will be IRON not Aluminum. None of the upgrade features that were designed into the 1550...

    DYNATRAC SAFETY RECALL on 1550 Steering Knuckles

    I've been going to the same shop for 10 years now. They always take care of me even though I'm not a big-build or buying one of their Red Dot buggies. The JK they did before mine was a much nicer big-horsepower build. I asked them to just do what they did to it. Probably faster for them anyway...

    DYNATRAC SAFETY RECALL on 1550 Steering Knuckles

    Thank you for spreading the word! Purchase Date: Feb 2018 Going to need to dig through the Jeep's paperwork box to get the Axle Serial number off the warranty cards. The Truss covers that area up. Email sent today. I'll post up what I hear back. Thanks again!

    What stereo receiver are you using?

    Stereo guy I went to told me to pick any one of the Pioneer NEX units. I chose the Pioneer 4500NEX for my 2009, which doesn't have navigation, but I get that from my phone wired and wireless. Previously I had a single-din Kenwood deck over a cobra CB unit. It was great, but after wireless...

    Best half door and soft upper option?

    I bought a set of Core Doors and Bestop's uppers around this time last year. I used them a few days and never put them back on. Sold them a month later when I realized they just aren't what I wanted. The doors are well made and I think they did a great job overall. I enjoyed having half...

    Rock Light Advice

    I'm on my second set of LUX lights. I originally ran their Max series in White from 2016 to 2019, and last year I swapped them for 8 RGB MONSTERS with the control box for the app on my phone. (I bought 12, but had a couple bad lights) RGB lights are plenty bright, but not as bright as a...
