    CANCELED My AAA Premier Road Side Assistance - Think You're Covered? Think Again

    Not a dumb question, but the problem comes in the way of the Transfer case and how the wheels turn. To pull a 4WD/AWD vehicle it's best to put it on a Flatbed, if none is available they can pull it with a traditional tow truck but need to use the dollys/cradles for the other wheels, especially...

    CANCELED My AAA Premier Road Side Assistance - Think You're Covered? Think Again

    In MA, it's all about the Tow Company. It's on them whether they will tow a Lifted/Moded Jeep. I just got my JKU towed 62 miles from my home to the shop, and I asked for a Flatbed and the tow company had zero issues with the size. (She actually loved my Jeep and threatened to keep it LOL). So...

    BlackKnight's Commando Build

    Never heard a thing, Putting it in gear once in a while would "clink", but it's been doing that since I got it. The guys at the shop looked at the Pinion and there looked to be some stress cracks on it in other places than where it let go, so they were thinking that it heated up and just...

    BlackKnight's Commando Build

    Oh, and what the driveshaft was held on to was pretty screwed up too, All the bolts rounded off and/or destroyed... Well, As that pretty much eliminated the rear end and I'll need basically All of it. I figured now is the time to finally upgrade both axles. So, I purchased a set of Rubicon...

    CB Radios - Which one do you run and where do you mount it?

    I run a handheld clipped into my overhead MOLLE panel. I have a firestick antenna wired up and terminates up in place for me to hook in. I then use a handheld mic on the coil. All so I don't leave it in the Jeep full time. Have the same setup for my GMRS handheld (GMRS Antenna not the Firestick...

    Beware!! - EVO Protek Skid Plates

    Checked mine, and my only issue is a bend where the front Driveshaft comes out from behind. The fold on the edge narrows there and could be explained by that... Had mine for 5 years now and wheeled hard when it's out. Was low crawling on the plates for the first 2 years (33"s and 2-inch lift on...

    Best ball joints for a 2017 Rubicon on 37's with 50k miles?

    You can also go to the Delete Route. Ball joint delete kits replace them with a set of bearings that are maintainable/repairable and last significantly longer than normal ball joints. They are about twice as expensive as good ball joints, but last significantly longer, and are used also on Rock...

    I have my undercarriage hit with NHOU undercoating about every other year. Works great to keep the rust to a minimum here in New England... Note, NHOU is short for NewHampshire Oil Undercoat, It's a company that makes a petroleum product that is applied to the undercarriage and can be injected...
