Well, following the advice below... above... wherever... let's just say the advice from Jim... I replaced the front Track Bar. Went with an OEM unit, as I really do not see the need for more flex at this point and at 2.5" of lift, the offset of the axle is not enough to worry about in my...

Rotated tires, added Alloy front axle seals, and put in new front brake pads... Cannot understand why Jeep did not do the axle seals this way to start with. John

Awesome job:wings:

Exactly... and when you're at it delete the stability control and the downhill mode button, whatever that is...

Being in a business that deals with the public on an oh so regular basis, I cringed when I read this. So terrible, as has been stated, to have a good product, ruined by a circumstance like this. I hope you get a response from them and that you share it. If, like was mentioned in the previous...

My 2003 Rubicon, on 3.5", 33's and currie control arms all around. This is going down the School bus trail in Tellico in 2007(?). My son took the pic and said, "Dad, you gotta see this"... good memories. Unfortunately the Rubi died in a vehicle fire a few years ago. Very sad. John

Nice Jeep and great idea. Once you get the brackets mounted and everything ready to go, is the next step a trip to the upholstery shop to get the cushions and covers back on or is that something you'll do at home? John

Great write up! Brings back memories from a trip my oldest son and I did in 2006 or 07? We had a great time on these trails and worked (played) hard enough to head home with 1 destroyed video camera (probably not a good idea to let him hang out the window and video the front wheel... 1 drop...

No problem with the question. That's what discussion is about. Even when it comes to comparing my son's (formerly mine) 2000 TJ Sport, the JK's have a plethora of added plastic, etc... that just did not used to be there. This is even the case when comparing my 2005 LJ to his 2000 TJ. I...

Well, put up a less expensive ladder stand in one of my favorite spots on the property. I spent last evening out there and really enjoyed it. I did not see anything until almost dark. She was moving uphill and unfortunately, I could not get a shot due to the darkness. Gave me confidence...

Nice buck... and 120 on a muzzle loader seems like a good shot to me, although I admit to having no experience with one. I have seen a few good does since this initial buck, but either have not had a good shot or it was getting too dark for me to reliably take the shot. Need at least one...

I would like to see Jeep offer a stripped down version of the Rubicon. Leave off all the fancy do dads and stick to the meat and potatoes. Have all the mechanical benefits and limit options to things like carpet, rear seat, radio, heat and A/C (near a must in the sweaty south). Do a stripped...

Jim, Thanks for reminding me about the zj set up and giving me the explanation regarding the set up vs. the aftermarket ones. Sounds like a perfect solution. My LJ is approaching 60k miles so I know it is time to do something. Ann might be buying me the ZJ set up for Christmas (she just...

Thanks! I am familiar with the Currie set up for steering, had it on the 2003 pictured above. Just wondering if I can save a couple hundred with another system, since I am not sure I will make use of the skid plate like strength of the Currie. It is definitely in the mix just not sure with my...

Looking for steering and front track bar upgrade suggestions. I am currently at 2.5" lift on front and may go up another inch, but no more. Looking for durability, ease of maintenance and good on road manners. Other than work around the farm, I am not getting in that much off road action...

Incredible build. Great attention to detail. This is the beauty of the jeep thing, that hopefully jeep will never lose sight of... every dedicated jeeper wants to make his/her jeep capable in their own way for their own needs. I think your build reflects what a lot of folks would do if time...

Outstanding idea. Never even thought about that. I suppose you could use whatever "favorite" lager, pilsner, ale to be the tan. Great idea because you can now find Guinness in a can pretty much anywhere. Thanks for the tip John

Need link or better pics. Wonder if it will work with other jeeps rather than just JK.

We have approx. six weeks of deer season left here in NC (Eastern). I have always been a ground hunter. I am considering putting up a stand or two on the 105 acres I have access to. I hunt primarily rifle, but on Sundays break out the crossbow. The areas I hunt are hilly and hardwoods. I am...

I know you are selling this but you may want to do a little search on Bantam TC3 trailers. I am not an expert at all, but I believe that is what you have there. Hard to find, built in late 40s and 50s I think and it may be something you want to hold onto if a sale is not really necessary at...
