    83 CJ7 - 12 years of love and hate

    Good choice on the motor and carb. I've had several people tell me that I need to swap out my 305 and q-jet for a strong 350 and EFI. They're just arm chair wheelers though for the most part. The Q-jet is simple and reliable, and the 305 has enough power and torque to do Jeep things without...

    Build a Dana 30 or get dana 44 fornt.

    I would honestly say that the Rubicon Dana 44's would be your best bet. It would probably cost you a chunk but you would be getting 4.10's and lockers that don't require install labor. I'm sure the gears and selectable lockers are going to be more money even before the setup then the price of...

    Baja Rack UT

    I really like that rack and have thought about purchasing one. It blends much better than the "I'm on safari!" Gobi roof rack, not to mention the price is a bit of a relief! Utility without showing off, I really can appreciate that.

    2013 JK Auto Transmission Trouble

    You have to put it in neutral to shift, there is no other way. The trouble doesn't have to do with shifting the transfer case. It fails in reverse without shifting.I'm going to have to experiment with it a little and see if it's the hills that are causing it or what. It may be a lack of fluid in...

    2013 JK Auto Transmission Trouble

    I haven't posted here much but I'm a daily lurker. I thought I would post about this problem I have to save others some heartburn. First, a few details on me. To say that I'm a Jeep guy is a bit of an understatement. There has been one or more Jeep universals in my driveway all but three years...

    What width front bumper are you running and why did you pick that one? (JK)

    Amen. And why do they think they can charge twice as much as a TJ bumper for them? I for one would like to see some more basic designs built. It's a bumper after all, not the Mona Lisa!

    What width front bumper are you running and why did you pick that one? (JK)

    Thx, There's a lot of good reading between the two. One thing I will say is compared to my Cj there are a ton of options!

    What width front bumper are you running and why did you pick that one? (JK)

    I've been shopping around for a long time given my present no dinero budget and time to look. Looking at the selection of full length bumpers with bull bars that uses my stock fog lights with a recessed winch I have formed a few opinions. AEV is a light weight at 90 lbs and looks the best IMO...

    In need of advice: Which JKU to buy

    Both of these are great advice. I hadn't seen the one at JK forum yet, so thanks for the post! Oh, and to the OP, GET THE GREEN ONE. Honestly, the white JKU is a nice looking Jeep, but the Commando green paint is the best yet on a JK!

    Bumper advice

    I bought the AEV rear bumper for my JK. It was expensive, but I wanted the advantages of a good tire carrier. It was tough to pay that much, but the bumper is nice and my tailgate won't end up scrapped. It's pretty light comparatively as well. As for the front end, I want a full length bumper...

    Slow Build: 2013 JK

    Thats the first one I've seen with steel wheels in that color. It looks great! I wonder what the tire size and lift are?

    Two Aux Tanks for the JK

    That's the Long Ranger Tank. To fit that tank requires exhaust mods. I'd like to see a write up on the Long Range Automotive (LRA) tank. I may have to do it myself after the first of the year. I like the look of the Front Runner tank and would prefer to install their 48 litre in my JK...

    Two Aux Tanks for the JK

    One thing to remember is that the Australian aux fuel tanks all seem to fill last when at the station. That means that you don't have to use it unless you need it. Another plus is that the fuel is under the Jeep, keeping room available on the tire carrier for other things. It's definitely an...

    Guide Me - JKUR for Expo Use

    You could possibly get a set of used moab edition rock rails as well. They are basically the rubicon rails with an extra tube welded on the outside running full length.

    Two Aux Tanks for the JK

    No, It's the LRA tank, and it's built for a 2012 up petrol engine, so there's no exhaust mods to make. Like I said, give him a call. I researched this because I didn't want to spend all that money and then have to modify my Jeep extensively to use it. The only think that changes with the LRA...

    Two Aux Tanks for the JK

    You could always call Benjamin Meddows at Outback Proven in Las Vegas. He has a tank that will fit a 2012 and up 3.6l Jeep JKU with no exhaust mods. It's from LRA in Australia and holds 18 gallons. That's plenty of extra fuel for the western US and this is what I plan to do.
