    FS: AEV 3.5 Coil Springs for Jeep JKU - $200 - Los Angeles

    I'm selling a set of front and rear coil springs from AEV, designed to lift your JKU 3.5-inches. The springs have been used for about 10k miles. They have some scratches and show some signs of wear. Only selling because I switched to the high capacity springs. I have the box and can ship on...

    Wrangler Unlimited JK - custom Rubicon

    Great build. It's nice to see someone doing something more than the usual bolt on options. How is your Accutune coilover set up doing? They're local to me, and I've been considering their kit to replace my AEV set up.

    Overland Journal Article: Skills - "Locked and Loaded" Tie Downs

    I was about to buy the Frontrunner Stratchits but then remembered that article suggesting two other products that were slightly cheaper and better. Wish I could find that copy.

    Awning efficency questions

    You'd have to be strategic about how your truck's parked. When the awning shades the truck instead of the ground below it, it's because the suns on that side of the truck. If the truck turned around there'd be a lot of shade. That said, I've only found awnings to be useful when you're going to...

    Overland Journal Article: Skills - "Locked and Loaded" Tie Downs

    Anyone remember the tie-downs that were recommended in Scott Brady's Spring 2018 issue article: "Skills: Locked and Loaded?" I'm in the market for some better tie downs but seem to have lost my copy of the magazine.

    Jack's 2007 Chevy Build

    Are you going to mount the flat tray a little higher than usual for extra tire clearance?

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Don't worry, I got 15mpg driving from Venice to Palm Springs and back, including around town driving in both cities. I'll probably never find a highway long and flat enough to see what the actual highway mpg is. City only driving, I'm getting 13.5 - 14mpg.

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    I'm still getting weird handling on the highway. It seems to always drift left or right, like the suspensions not settled when trying to go straight. Almost like it's swaying when driving straight. Requires a lot more driver input than it used to. Might partially need an alignment and a better...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Thanks guys. They look good. I'm hoping I don't regret going big! I think the mpg is just the larger tires acting like a higher overdrive gear. I recalibrate the ECU for the new tire size. So it's not that. I also got slightly better highway mpg when I switched from the stock MT tires to the...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Made the jump to 37s. I lucked out and found a guy locally who had 37s with the same wear as my 35s. So we just traded thanks to Steve's shop, RPM Garage, in Monrovia. I somehow got better gas mileage on the 45mi drive home. Averaged 21mpg. Everyone thought the tires looked huge until we...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Sleeves and C-gussets have kind of been disproven. Heating up the housing can cause it to bend or develop stress cracks. My front axle's been fine up until this point. So I think I'm just going to keep running it. Dana/Spicer is a pain in the ass about giving you any information about their...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    No needing major maintenance has been great. But 36,000 miles of off roading and running 35s on OEM parts has taken its toll. I decided to start by refreshing the front end. -Install HD ball joints -Replacing unit bearings and wheel speed sensors (I keep getting random ABS errors, wondering if...

    FS: 5x BFG AT KO2 All Terrain Tires 35x12.5r17 - Socal - $1000

    Good catch! I hope i didn’t do that elsewhere too. If they were 37s I wouldn’t be selling them.

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    All these mods are a lot of money. Anyone have suggestion on order of operations? I'd love to just drop money once and end up with a new front axle, regear, bigger tires braced track bar mounts, and hydro assist. But I don't think my wife will be on board with that. The two best options so far...
