    axle opinions

    The issue with the JK specific wheels is they are hub centric and the hub hole on the wheel is too small to fit over the standard Dexter hub, so you have to use 2" spacers or machine out your wheels. The spacer width needs to be factored into the axle width. Getting JK bolt pattern is not an...

    Help a brother out - Post up some pics and details of your RTT lift systems

    I went with option 3 - gas struts, they aren't perfect but work well enough. I've got 18 inches of lift on my rack so we can use our annex but can also leave the rack at rest when not using the annex for quick deployment. I've contemplated adding actuators for greater ease but sticking with the...

    Expo Trailer or RTT? Advice requested

    I have both, a trailer with RTT and a Gobi rack that has also carried the RTT before I got the trailer. I have a 7ft parking garage at work, so I would have to take the RTT off between trips. Even with the Gobi accessory bars (which are a must in my opinion for a RTT) its a pain in the butt...

    Tow Vehicle Dilemma for Popup

    I went option number 2 - traded my 2010 JK for 13 Rubicon and never looked back. Granted I only run 33's but it was well worth the change, swapped all my old stuff over and changed up a few things. You're not going to get any huge improvement in mileage but it will get out of it's own way. I...

    Propane and tongue box for trailer

    I want to mount 2 full size tanks to the front of my M101a1. They currently ride in the bed in milkcrates but I'd rather have them on the front outer wall of the bed on either side of the tongue box. I'm torn between the couple of mounts above as the first one looks beefy but has no bottom...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    I have the Ace/Rubicon combo as well, and the clearance difference is minimal. I can tell you I would trust sliding around on the ACE one much than the factory or enhanced rails, they are just not as beefy.

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    I just go by the computer, depending on how hard you are pushing the JK the interval will change. I'm due as well, plus need to have the flaming heated mirror recall done! Another option for those looking for sliders at roughly the same cost, are the ACE Engineering sliders that have a better...

    Egan's M101A3 Build

    I go off the side too. I use my tailgate as a kitchen and have an awning back there to cover it. If you are using an annex, off the back is limiting in my opinion.

    Propane and tongue box for trailer

    A few of us have had good luck with the Harbor Freight tongue box, usually they have a coupon for 20% off so if you can catch it on sale it's around $80.00. I've got a battery setup in mine you can check my build in my sig...

    RTT Rack Height Dilemma - Need Some Advice

    My 2 cents based off my build, 95" is going to be way to tall and unstable unless you seriously support it. Even then I wouldn't do it. The other issue is with 30" inches of travel, and only 19" side rails, to get down to the 65" height your rack legs are going to stick down past the bed of...

    Adventure Trailers Max Coupler

    When the Max coupler pin seems tight I have found a slight raising or lowering with the trailer tongue jack makes the pin slide right out with ease. I usually just pull Max Coupler pin and not the one at the receiver of the trailer but imagine it would help with either one.

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Additions Got some more things added to the trailer this past weekend. I wanted to add a couple power ports to the tongue box, so I wired up a Blue Sea fuse block I had on hand and added 1 Blue Sea Dual USB port and 1 Blue Sea standard 12v socket. Ordered up the appropriate Bussman circuit...
