    OK4WD Daily Driver / Overland Rubicon

    Rino, Any reason you didn't use the new Zeon Platinum on this build? Im looking at upgrading my winch, and wanted to know your thoughts. Great build, and Im stealing your idea of painting the rings on my ARB's. Cant wait to see it finished.

    What Do You Dislike About Your JK

    I hate how people are always looking at me when I'm driving the jeep. It also sucks having to answer peoples questions about the jeep while I'm filling up. :sombrero: In all seriousness, it doesn't handle as well as my daily driver, or get as good of gas milage as my wife's diesel x5, but it is...

    2014 Granite Rubicon Unlimited JK350 Expedition Build

    I have used my 10# power tank in my last 3 rigs. While it does take up some space (though I'm not sure what else i would use that space for on a daily basis) i have found that it is SO much faster than using my old compressors that I have not bothered to hook them up on the new Rig. The only...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Not sure if you play on installing your lift yourself or not, but the shop i went with for my lift install (A local Colorado owned company that sells a ton of AEV stuff) lets you drive one of their employees rigs if you have any questions. Pretty cool if you ask me to just let you jump behind...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    The AEV lift (2.5" or 3.5") will help with that. Loaded up, mine with the 3.5" early sags (4 grown men, gear and a dog). If i tow my trailer, I get a little more sag... but the jeep wasn't really designed as a tow rig anyhow. When you wrap up your ham install, toss up some more pictures. Im...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    I wheeled mine stock. I was very surprised how capable it was. It went everywhere i wanted it to... Though the skid plates did receive a few scratches :sombrero: NOW... With the 3.5" AVE and the 315 Duratrac's, It will take me anywhere I ask it to with ease. Also, in my opinion, I think...

    Who went from 33's to 35's? MPG hit?

    Stock Wheels, Spidertrax spacers, 315/70-17 Duratrac's. I typically take it easy driving the jeep.

    Who went from 33's to 35's? MPG hit?

    I have seen about a 2mpg loss on city driving, however, I have not lost anything on the highway. I typically put the cruise control on at about 73, as that seems to be the sweet spot. On my last trip up to the Colorado mountains to do some exploring i averaged 21.4 mpg. That included about 80...

    Ways to improve mileage in a JKU?

    Maybe I am lucky, but FWIW I'm getting 19.2 on the display after my lift and tires. Thats for the last 800 or so miles that includes my commute (11 miles of bumper to bumper) and 3 trips to the Colorado high country for some exploring with 4 people and a dog in the Jeep. Maybe its just the...

    $40 BaoFeng UV-5R Dual-Band Handhelds

    Make sure you have the correct programming cable. The knock off cables don't want to work with mac's. I went thought 3 dirrent cables before I found one that works with my MacBook and chirp and my uv-5r. I also use chirp to program my other radio (ic-2820h) and it has worked every time with...

    Canon 5D III is released.

    Im by no means an expert, but being that my wife is a photographer (children, newborn, families, maternity, engagement... basically anything but weddings) and recently picked up a 5DmIII to add to her toolbox here are my (secondhand) thoughts. She has been using the 5DmII for some time (got one...

    Jeep Grand Cherokee WK (2005-2010) as ExPo vehicle

    I loved my WK. I recently sold it as i needed something bigger for my growing family. Having had A ZJ, WJ and a WK, i can say that the WK is a nice blend of off road capability and creature comforts. I think a lot of people who way the solid axle grand cherokee's are the best don't spend a lot...

    Hey Gang, My original SPOT tracker bit the dust over the weekend (my fault completely) and I am looking to replace it with a SPOT connect unit to use with my ipad/iphone. What are your thoughts on this setup? I like that i can send my own personal messages (i know its an extra fee) and that I...
