    JW Speaker Model 8700 J LED headlight for JK Wrangler

    Thank you Hildweller I totally understand now your reasoning behind fog light use in combination with the JW Speaker headlights. The biggest reason I surmise would be lack of comfort light technology built into the fog light. To be honest, I would have to say I would rather hear from a JW...

    JW Speaker Model 8700 J LED headlight for JK Wrangler

    Other than the comfort bright technology I would think one would have to study JW speakers technology behind the improved design of their latest light. There is a lot of description and explanation to be had and I just don't wish to repeat it As for the silly Halo lighting, I had an issue in...

    JW Speaker Model 8700 J LED headlight for JK Wrangler

    I finally pulled the trigger after reading tons of reviews and other information resources on the net. I bought the complete set fog lights an headlights to include tail lights for my 2012 two-door call of duty edition JK. I have yet to receive the taillights as they are on backorder. Some...

    JW Speaker Model 8700 J LED headlight for JK Wrangler

    Honestly, I have no problem saying I think they look sexy, well? The JW's that is. After watching Headlight Revolutions eval videos for me it came down to comparing the newest J model headlight matched with the blackened version 4000r driving mode lense as a complement to high beams, heck? Even...

    Which suspension on my JK for overland use?

    After many years of leaky/torn airbags I replaced with SumoSpring bags. Man! I am a very happy guy switching to those. I run them on my GMC truck camper. As for our Jks running trailers and such. This same company offers simular only it appears from the photo they wrap around and into each...

    JW Speaker Model 8700 J LED headlight for JK Wrangler

    I see the fog lights being pushed heavily. As expensive as they are are they worth upgrading to as well? I do like the tail lights, very very impressive.

    235/85/r16 Cooper AT3 tires

    I wonder about the ride quality. I have E rated tires on my jk and no longer run my jeep as hard off road as I did in my younger days. I read Mr. Noel's excellent review except I do not recall much being said about these tires being a good choice for a two door JK mostly unladdened. I did check...

    And so it begins... Again.

    This smells like an emotional purchase to me... Wife and I done our part all on one weekend in 2012 Friday, bought a VW TDi Saturday, went in with a perfectly good 2004 black Rub with lots of goodies (for service only) and fell in love with a black two door MW3 edition! "Oh! honey! Ya gotta...

    leaking water heater- Lance

    Whenever I need a how too I search out Youtube.com for such matters. As for on-demand, I reasearched this as an alternative for my home. It proved to be so expensive it would take many years to see any payback. Payback meaning I do not plan on retiring here in my current home. Something worth...

    Broke Down

    Don't think I had my serious doubts! With N.M. Winds becoming an issue, the frontend of the tow truck began lifting itself off the pavement and bouncing a bit. It was the longest white-knuckle 54 miles We ever did in our 41 years together. This young man was a rather gutsy fella whom I will...

    Wrangler Window Security Mesh/Bars

    Why few overlanders experience serioue theft is mostly due to their remaining with or close to their vehicle. A poster in here stated he wishes to park his rig unattended for hours at a time. All I am trying to convey here folks is todays outdoor world has progressed into a world where troubles...

    Wrangler Window Security Mesh/Bars

    Until recently, I own a high mountain cabin. Break-ins, door kicks, tresspassing, assault and battery, robbery over the years took its toll on this aging writer. The invention of portable cutting tools changed the whole concept of wilderness security. As locks themselves, including cable...

    Wrangler Window Security Mesh/Bars

    Prisoner transportation, civil disturbence, why not just do all the outer windows. Add some kevlar. Afterall? Why be confused with local L.E. Or military? In mud, all they'd be is a vision killer. More added wieght. Branches would either bend break or get caught. While your at it? Why not...

    Broke Down

    I always thought Ford had a limp mode. Similar thing happened to my bud when we started out on a trip to Death valley. His EGR valve went sour as well. So far, my DuraMax has served me well. However, I do keep it completely stock to include the factory Air cleaner. It is not a daily driver. My...
