    Visiting Greenville, SC / Asheville, NC - need suggestions!

    My wife is finishing up her medical residency program here in Houston in about a year and a half. We're starting to make visit trips to different locations on the East Coast as it's likely the relocation spot for us. My family lives in Philadelphia, so we would like to be closer to them, but...

    EVO Bolt-on Coilovers question

    Just installed evo bolt on coilovers on my JKU yesterday. Well not me, but a very reputable shop in Houston. The rear springs, with enough left/right sway, are catching on the inner sleeves and 'pop' making a clunking noise occasionally. Just checking in here to see if that is the 'norm', or...

    AutoLift 3000

    Just saw this on Facebook today. Looks pretty freaking awesome, until the weight see-saws on top of you by accident. Anyone seen this? http://www.autolift3000.com/en/produkty/autolift-3000/

    Epic Day-trip to Angelina National Forest, TX

    In East Texas, about 2 and a half hours north of Houston, we have a pretty amazing forest - Angelina National Forest. Had a chance to go today, and even though we didn't get to see everything we wanted (day trip and way too big of a park to explore), we made the best out of it. Pulling off the...

    Arkpak portable power w/ ARB fridge freezer

    Was looking at separate battery options to run a future ARB fridge freezer set up. I came across this portable power unit online. Seems pretty sweet, but definitely pricey. Is anyone running this, or have alternative options? http://www.arkportablepower.com/products/arkpak-715-portable-power

    DIY Garage hardtop removal for JKU

    I have a plan but wanted to post up here before I go to Lowes and get the parts. Just incase someone has a better option. My plan includes 2 tie down straps and 4 eye bolts. I was going to simply screw the eye bolts into the ceiling joists and run the straps front to back of the hard top...

    Sold on Long Arms...until I talked to ORE

    So all along I had been planning on long arms, then EVO coilovers and had been banking money for this major overhaul. Finally saved enough money to do 1 of the 2, so I called EVO to see what their recommendation was to do first. Drew told me that with 37" tires, long arms would be...

    Got me some bowed front springs after LCAs install

    I just put on RK adjustable front lower control arms last night. I didn't notice until today that my front coil springs (3.5" RK's) are bowed a little bit...they were not bowed before the install. They are definitely still on the perch. I should note the ride so far, since putting in the...

    37's are IN...and Check Engine light is ON.

    Just put on 37's and less than 10 miles later, the check engine light goes on. It's not flashing, so I'm sure it's not something serious. But just getting anyone's thoughts on this, and if it's happened to others as well when going bigger than 35's? Pic of the 37's...I've fallen in love...

    Fitting 37"s - 3.5" Coil lift w/ factory control arms vs. Long arms

    So I was reading in the "newbie" suspension thread from a few years back and it was very helpful for the builds I have coming up. I do want some clarity around the question and answer below, though. "Q: At what lift height would I want to consider a Long Arm kit? A: On a Jeep JK Wrangler, you...

    Atlas 2-Speed TC before running 37's?

    I plan on running 37's soon (currently at 35) and my buddy told me to put in an Atlas before I get 37's. I've got 4.88 gears right now as well. Does he have a good point, or can I pull the trigger on the the bigger tires?

    Rear ProRock 60 question

    This is going to sound like a newbie question I'm sure. I just put in a PR44 and RCV's in the front, and I'm already drooling about putting in a PR60 in the rear. I have 4.88 gears and G2 35-spline chromo axle shafts in my rear stock D44. If I was go PR60 in the rear, can I just get the...
