    Jeremy The Disciple

    In 2019 I purchased my axle package from Carbon Off Road. They were a local Utah company and offered an incredible warranty. In January of this year I met Jeremy from Disciple at Eddie's New Year Kick Off. Front driver's side seal is leaking, and no one from Carbon is responding. I contacted...

    ARB bulkhead fitting

    A few years ago I followed Eddie's write up and switched my airlines to stainless braided. Recently had to work on my rear axle, so while it was out, I added an Artec truss. I had planned on going directly into the bulkhead fitting, as Eddie did, so the line came straight up, instead of doing a...

    Not a Defender

    There's been a dozen of these parked at a hotel near my house all week. Occasionally I see them conveying through town. I stopped in yesterday to take a look. A new car company. Motors are turbo charged I6 from BMW. Axles are from a company in Italy. The exec I talked to wouldn't let me take any...

    So this just happened!

    We're not big beer drinkers, but occasionally my wife likes a Coors Light. I'm out running errands, stop for gas, and run in to grab her a 6 pack. Lady at the next pump: Why didn't you buy Bud light? Me: Excuse me? Lady: You look like a homophobic person who is boycotting Bud light Me: Well I...

    Just dont!

    Some Gladiator forum popped up on my timeline. A guy was asking about towing a 5th wheel trailer. I went in for the comments. Every person that said NO, got the attached picture. My comment was against community standards and I was not allowed to join the group.

    Is this a thing?

    I heard a strange clanking noise driving home from our last trip to Moab. Upon inspection I found 2 studs are gone and the remaining 3 lug nuts were almost off. I made it into Discount Tire to get new lug nuts and had them pull up the history on the Jeep, as they were the last ones to touch the...

    Aluminum Radiator

    2015 JKU. My 2nd radiator has failed. Same place. Upper drivers side. Never enough of a leak to leave a drip on the floor, but can always smell antifreeze, and need to top off every few weeks. It's leaking where the plastic and aluminum come together. I want to go with an all aluminum one this...

    EVO JKU Coilovers

    Avoid the 8 month delay on ordering these. Have them tomorrow. EVO bolt on coilovers, and front bump stops, with complete install kits. Boxes have been opened to verify all parts were included, but never installed. Box and part number say black, but they are blue. I paid $5300 plus tax and...

    Pop up videos

    I get it. It's the world we live in. Eddie provides this site and forum free to us. I understand if he uses ads to help finance it. More power to him. The thing that drives me crazy, is the video ad that pops up at the bottom, with full volume, even if my phone is silenced. I get into so much...

    Rattlesnake Canyon

    Anyone have experience exploring Rattlesnake Canyon west of Grand Junction? Is it worth a day trip out from Moab?

    My wife is a Badass

    Today, on her 55th birthday my wife received her bachelor's degree. 4 years ago, we became empty nesters, so she decided to go back to school. All her hard work paid off, and she was rewarded on her birthday.

    Beadlock Rings

    My buddy and I both have KMC beadlocks. His are machete and mine tank. We helped each other mount the tires months ago. Not until a break on a trail at EJS did we notice the difference. Is one style "better" than the other? If so, could the one with the less desirable ring style, purchase the...

    Remember when?

    It was January 2016. We had a puck lift and 33s. In the mall parking lot, I thought we looked cool as shit. On that day, friends took us on Hell's Revenge. I swear to God we died that day, and everything since is just Heaven. Do you remember when you first got the bug?

    Reverse Jeep Envy (for lack of a better term)

    Anyone else suffer from this? My definition: When out with my wife, in her sedan, I see all kinds of Jeeps, and wish I was driving ours.

    Code after oil change

    Following every oil change (I do it myself) I get code P06DE within a few days. I check the oil and filter, making sure everything is OK, then clear the code. All is well until the next oil change. I changed the oil last week, and a day or so later, the code popped up. Did my regular check...

    PSC reservoir hose routing.

    Prior to installing my PSC system I read several posts about people cutting the bottom of the air intake box, in order to run the hose from the reservoir to the pump. PSC supplies a 45° fitting to attach the hose to the reservoir. This puts the hose directly into the air box. Another issue I've...

    Big Bear

    We're heading to Big Bear for the 4th of July. Our only experience wheeling is Moab and Sand Hollow. We're thinking of doing Holcomb Creek, Gold Mountain, and John Bull. I'm seeing ratings like "Black Diamond" and it's making me nervous, because of my skiing experiences. In Moab we've done...

    But motorized vehicles are bad!

    Moab city officials aren't exactly quite about their desire to get rid of all motorized vehicles enjoying the area. They only want the mountain bikers and climbers. And now this: https://www.ksl.com/article/50148226/climbing-bolts-found-on-1000-year-old-petroglyphs-in-utah

    Can't fix stupid

    When do you draw the line on helping others on a trail? We came across 2 families in stock, newer, Grand Cherokees today. They were on a trail they never should have been on. Both vehicles on street tires, and one had tires running on the wear bars. That one had 3 Sliced sidewalls. We attempted...
