We leave for Cali on Thursday and all I have left to build is a shelf for the water container. Almost done!

I wasn't able to have the prototype drawer system done for this trip which is unfortunate. I have found that without one your gear becomes a disorganized pile in the vehicle, a pile of potential projectiles. Not to mention that the thing you need is always somewhere in the bottom of the pile...

Next up was an accessory socket for the fridge: I fabbed up an aluminum bracket and bolted it to the passenger side rear door jam support, and it is solid! This actually turned out so well that it looks factory. I have had the fridge in the vehicle and running for the pat four days now...

I also needed a place to mount the high lift on the exterior as space is limited in the JK's. To a long time Jeeper the JK's may seem spacious, but for us Land Rover converts there just isn't nearly the cargo space. So I got a Rugged Ridge mount that bolts to the rear door hinges. At almost...

A few updates: I took the plunge and bought an ARB fridge instead of the much cheaper Edgestar. I also had the great fortune of finding a high end bike commuter bag, that is waterproof, for $10. I decided that this will solve our roaming trash problem by making a "trasharoo". With some...

The compressor works very well in the cargo area, it gets plenty of air and hasn't produced enough heat to even heat up the surrounding carpet, even after inflating 4 tires from 15 to 45 PSI. And because I mounted it on rubber grommets the vibration and noise are very minimal. Only time will...

Look what else arrived yesterday: This is an upgraded bolt kit from Northridge 4x4 to cure my Jeep of its sloppiness. After replacing the drag link, the "clunking" did not go away; it was a total waste. As the bolt kit should have been the first fix, I'm doing it now. Unfortunately, the hole...

The ARB pump up kit arrived early yesterday, so I made good use of my lunch break and finished off the job: 3jarrells- so true! The location of the cubby is irritating because you can't access it unless there is nothing in the load space. In the next few weeks I will be mounting a quick...

I managed to finish installing the compressor last night: Ignore the red tape, it's all I had. I will be replacing that with black gaffer tape soon. The compressor easily fits in the cubby and under the load space cover, you can't even tell it's there! I mounted it to the left side of the...

It's an easy job, but I will suggest hitting everything with PB Blaster the day before (maybe even every day for a few days before if you live in the rust belt). Cleaning and oiling the treads before installing the new drag link will prevent much cursing too.

The drive shaft is gone and I have lowered prices.

Job done! Kind of, the steering wheel is now off center. Tomorrow I will adjust the turnbuckle between the pitman arm and steering knuckle to correct that. I had to remove the tie rod end on the passenger side in order to remove the drag link, so if you need to do this to your Jeep be sure you...

285-75 17 KM2's have worked well for me. I installed an Old Man Emu 2" lift (it ends up being almost 3") and they fit without any rubbing. Contrary to what many people say, they do hum above 35 mph, but you get used to it.

I have had issues with a "clunk" in the steering from day one, I noticed it during the test drive and was sure I could fix it. Besides, at the price we paid I don't mind tidying up a few things. With my wife moving the steering wheel back and forth I was able to find what I believe is the...

Badfysh- It's going to be about $35 to ship via Fedex to the zip code you provided me.

JIMBO, the price is right, now what is it called and where do I find it? Kleinrider, no sway bar disconnects here. I'm going to go for the up rated bolt kit and see what happens, it still could be the trackbar shifting and not any of the steering components. Everything is connected down there...

Also, I haven't checked to see if I have a tranny cooler, but I do have the towing package. Maybe I'm in the clear. A huge shout out to OME suspension, we drove a few dozen miles of washboard today and I didn't even spill my coffee.

Kleinrider- do you have a link for the bolt upgrade kit? What I'm experiencing is a light popping in the steering. I have torqued every bolt from the pitman arm down and am still getting it. This has got to be a common JK thing as one of the other Jeeps we test drove had the same issue. I...

My Discovery had a Franken-lift that was about 5 inches over stock. I will ship it anywhere in the United States at your expense. PM me for a shipping quote.

Thanks Benny! I haven't touched the speedo. What else can you do with the superchips tuner? If I could squeeze some more power out of the engine I would not complain. I have even heard that higher fuel mileage is possible. Also, how "mess-with-able" is the computer? There are some minor...
