    Mojave Road - current status as of 1/18/16

    Just completed Mojave Road. Left Avi Saturday morning, and completed it Monday, about 3pm. If any one is interested, Soda lake is currently open and passable. It's very wet and muddy, but passable. Both water crossings are not an issue, though there is some deep mud on the first one...

    Around the world in an amphibious Jeep... 1950s style...

    The thread here about 7 Jeeps you didn't know existed sent me off and Googling for more information on the Ford’s GPA Amphibious Jeep (also called a Seep)... As a person who loves Jeeps, boats, adventure, history, old military stuff.. and vehicles that float! I thought the Seep was very...

    Body armor install questions....

    OK, I am getting close to pulling the triger on some lower body armor (2dr JK). Probably EVO but possibly Poison Spyder rocker armor. No sliders yet.... I have done the searches and read the install threads I've found while Googling around. Couple questions.... 1) The dreaded Nut Sert...

    Desert Ride Video...

    I thought some of you might enjoy this video my friend put together a few years ago. We had a ride and set a memorial for a guy in our 3-wheeler group. He didn't die riding, but he died unexpectedly. There are no Jeeps in this video (that's why it's in the Pub area), but there is some good...

    Nitro Sleeve install....

    Finally tackled the Nitro sleeve install this weekend. I was not really looking forward to it, as I've read many horror stories. It went VERY well.... I cleaned the tube by hand with only a paint roller on a long threaded rod. I butchered a cheap roller for this use. I used to the axle...

    Locker at re-gear time?

    Is it a huge deal to add a locker after you re-gear, or should it always be done at the same time as the re-gear, if possible? Cost all at once is the main issue I'm thinking about. Leaning towards regear now, and locker later (Since I've never had a locker in 24 years of owning 4x4s, I'm not...

    Steering flip kit - separates?

    My 2.5 RK Max Travel gave me more lift than I expected, which is totally fine. But now I think I should flip the steering link to the top. I have read about kits that do such a thing, but I'm not totally sure I need ALL of the parts these kits include. I have an adjustable trackbar for the...

    What ELSE do you do for fun?

    I'm going to go out on a limb here (not really) and assume this is a pretty hobby-diverse crowd. You all love Jeeps, but what else do you do for fun? As my usename suggests, I consider boating & the river to be my primary hobby (including Jeeping at the river). Before I got the Jeep I...

    Are Jeep's He's or She's????

    I am curious, I know boats are she's, but what about Jeeps? Clearly some of you have given boy names, just trying to see if there is a consensus on this....

    Tightening heim joints on new lower arms....

    When I installed a Rock Krawler 2.5 Max Travel lift (a few weeks ago), the instructions said to tighten them to 200lbs torque if possible. I was not able to do that... I had trouble tightening them much without them turning. I got them good as I could with a giant crescent wrench, and red...

    Sam Adams Light?

    I am traditionally a Coors Light guy, but cruising through Costco last night I saw Sam Adam's Light. Never seen that before. I am trying to switch American owned beer companies. From what I can tell, that pretty much narrows it down to Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, and PBR. I like PBR, but I'm...

    Hello from OC CA....

    Howdy Folks! Long time lurker.... Had a lot of help from this place and Project-JK doing all of the upgrades to my '09 JK myself. I have owned it since new. I like to explore Big Bear Lake area, as well as the Mohave Desert. I have owned a 4x4 for over 22 years, Toyota & Chevy. The '09...
