    Lower ball joint - grease out = bad

    Hi all, First, I spent most of the day chasing around a 3 year old. I then ran out the the garage to start my OME lift install and have been at it for 5 hours so I am a bit fried. My search fu is not working and apologize for having to ask this. I simply could not get the tie rod to...

    Wubba wubba - is it a "hubba" "hubba"?

    Hi all, I am about to venture into a complete suspension upgrade, and while I'm in there, want to see if I can fix this noise issue I've had for quite some time. I would describe it as a "wubba wubba" noise that seems to be consistent with wheel speed rather than the drive shaft. To me it...

    OME is on his way!

    OME is INSTALLED! Back story: My 2005's spacer-lifted suspension is finally crapping out to the point where it drives poorly on road. I went offroading a couple of weeks ago and it performed 'meh', and with the lift height as measured from center to flare being around 20" vs. the ~22" it was...

    Posing in Colorado

    Just a couple of pics from this weekend's wheeling in Colorado. The two posin shots were taken on Hall Valley trail. The one with the Rubicon peeking in was at the top of Twin Cone (~12,300 ft). The one with my pit bike is, well, one with the pit bike!

    Chinaman Gulch Colorado - a couple clips

    This past weekend I went out camping and wheeling with some friends. The highlight of the trip was taking on Chinaman Gulch here in Colorado. These two clips show the two toughest challenges, one of which required me to get a tug because my rear control arm bracket got caught on the rock...

    Warn M8000 into ARB front bumper - 05 KJ

    The price on the Warn M8000 dropped by about $85 overnight, so I finally dove in. I will be putting it into my ARB bumper which is already mounted. Does anyone have any install tips or tricks for doing this on an existing bumper? It seems like I will be taking the bumper off, installing the...

    HP Touchpad as a GPS

    Back when HP had their 'fire sale' of the Touchpad, I was lucky to pick up a 32GB version. I eventually added Andriod and it became 100x more usable - WebOS may be a decent OS, but there just aren't the apps to support it. One thing the unit lacks, however, is a GPS. This is just a quick...

    Powertrax - 2 slotted spacers & drivers

    Hi all, I have been lurking here for a couple of days and learned a boatload. My '05 KJ has been just waiting for some upgrades, and I decided to go with a Powertrax No-Slip in the rear. In the literature there was an addendum stating that it "may contain" 2 slotted spacers and 2 slotted...
