Posted it up for sale:( I hate to do it but I need another seat and don't trust the third row setups with my baby. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/152666-13-JKUR-Commando-Green-ARB-AEV-Warn?p=1996242#post1996242

How about the KLR vs XR650L while we're all arguing? Why does the KLR have all the bob mods that need to be done before you can ride it? Is it truly just a redneck machine? I personally crashed an XR650L and would like to know if it crashes better than the KLR, but my wife hasn't allowed me on a...

I would also suggest a 12 or newer JK platform. The 2007-2011 JK had a 3.8, which was actually a very good engine overall. Chrysler used that motor in the minivans, as well as the automatic transmissions. The thing I don't like about the 3.8 is it's a dog out on the freeway, especially when...

i completely understand the feeling of wanting something diferent. I have a CJ7 frame up built sitting beside the garage and a 13 JKUR that has replaced it. The JK is a ton more refined than the CJ, but I just can't bring myself to sell the CJ. I talk about it once in a while but I get cold feet...

Very nice!

Thanks for sharing this Omar, it's been on my mind for a couple years. I did a comparison a while back on paper of the three closely related overland platforms. I tried to get an equal comparison, but I never found specs for all three in the same market The pricing for all three was converted to...

If you're going with other people I'd ditch the jumper battery and just make sure someone had jumper cables. Also, share a high lift jack with another vehicle, etc... It's awfully easy to overload a Jeep. It looks like you've made a pretty conservative list which is a plus, but every extra pound...

Very nice, I'm impressed!

Very nice, and I like where you're going with it! I have to agree with your decision to ditch the tall lift. 2-3" would be perfect for that Jeep, and Pro-comp suspension is junk. I'm not saying that out of internet snobbery, purely experience. I'm not sure what TJ lifts are best, but I've been...

I've never been down Black Bear, but I would not want to go down the steps with both lockers engaged. If all four tires were to slip the vehicle will just go down, not necessarily forward like it would if two wheels slipped and the other two just roll, but sideways too. The steps do not appear...

My first thought was an Israeli Storm. Built in Bethlahem so you know they're good! Nice model though.....

I would call my 13 JKUR with 4.10's and an auto transmission zippy, but not torquey. As for the handling and ride, I upgraded to Old Man Emu 2" springs and shocks with a Tertaflex track bar bracket and it drives and rides wonderfully! The stock suspension was just too soft up front to give a...

Congratulations, you've chosen the most capable four door suv currently sold! I would suggest you follow the advice previously given and drive it first. They are really quite capable right off the show room floor and don't need much, other than some decent AT tires if it's a sport or sahara. If...

Wish they'd work with aev and arb bumpers! I'd love to add a set. Oh well...................................

IMO, 2.5" is too short for a true 35" tire unless all you do is drive around town. You might get away with it but you'll have to do your homework on wheel backspacing and the difference in diameters of different tires. I'm running an OME medium heavy kit on my JKUR with an added Terflex track...

Thanks for posting the video, I for one enjoyed it! As it was previously mentioned it would be nice to compare a two door JK with a stock YJ with identical tires to take that out of the equation. As far as that goes, throw a TJ, CJ7, CJ5, MB etc in and do some real evaluations on a test course...

Ok, after a long wait due to a shipping screw up I've finally installed and tested the Teraflex track bar bracket on my JKU. I can't believe it, but I noticed the difference on the first corner I took. The bracket did limit body roll, and I'm quite surprised because I didn't think I had much to...

They make a spray cleaner and oil that we use at work for cleaning plugs and pins in areas with extreme environmental conditions. It's called deoxit. I'd try getting some of that vs WD40. WD40 would work, but the deoxit cleaner actually works to remove all of the corrosion before you seal it...

I don't believe things will be out of whack, I'm just skeptical of the potential benefits on such a small lift. All of the lift manufacturers are now offering rear track bar brackets in their 2-2 1/2" lift kits with the exception of some of the budget puck lifts. My thought is that there must be...

So I guess I'll be the guinea pig on this one. I've been daily driving the JKU for over a year now the way it is. I just ordered the Teraflex track bar bracket from Northridge, and I'm planning on a road trip with the Jeep in a week and a half. I'll report my findings for someone else who may...
