Re: Another tire question....

I run Duratracs and had no problems in snow (on road). I just sold by 32" Duratracs and went to 35s. I did have some minor sidewall damage on the last set so they're May be some truth to the sidewall complaints. As far as the programmer goes, the tire size change will affect the odometer and sp...

Re: JK Gears and Lockers Opinions

Other than the ring & pinion/pumpkin, aren't the JK Rubi axels using the same tubes as the 30? I know the shaft/spline count is different too. Is it worth spending a few thousand on a Rubi takeoff and still having to sleeve/gusset?

Re: JK Gears and Lockers Opinions

How often do you see failures with the air lockers? Do people leave them actuated other than when going over an obstacle? I am leaning towards an air locker because I recently installed a compressor and have some money in it. Are there additional costs for the electric actuators on the Ox? Any exper...

JK Gears and Lockers Opinions

I've been making my head spin trying to figure out what to do with gears and lockers. I have a non-Rubicon 2012 JK 4-door and currently run 32" tires. I want to get to a larger tire (34-35") in the next year. I was looking at doing 4.56 gears and putting an air locker (either ARB or Yukon ...

Re: Rubicon Transfer Case Swap in Sport JK

What's different about the driveshafts? I hadn't seen anyone mention needing any additional parts there...

I'm running a manual so a Rubi Crawler is off the table (as well as out of my budget).

Rubicon Transfer Case Swap in Sport JK

I just picked myself up a 241OR transfer case from a Rubicon and am planning on swapping it into my Sport JK. Has anyone had any experience doing this and would be able to give some pointers or help? I know it's a fairly straightforward bolt-on project but don't know if I need any replacement gasket...

Re: JK Rubi Goodies

Damn, I wish I was home this weekend to work out this deal. I've been looking for a Rubi T-case for my JK Sport. Do you know if it was a automatic or manual JK?

Re: Lift Install Help

So far the only issues I've had were some clunks in the rear because I forgot to re-tighten the upper control arms, and my steering wheel is off by a few degrees. My alignment seems pretty good and no wobble!

Re: Lift Install Help

Got the lift installed last Saturday/Sunday. Took me 9 hours of crawling around under the Jeep. I was pleasantly surprised at the height and the handling is better and more stable than stock.

Lift Install Help

I'm installing a 2.5" lift this Saturday on my JKU. Anyone around the North Shore that could lend a hand? My helpers bailed and I'm going it alone at the moment. Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Dave from Salem Ma

I've been poking around on the forum for a few months and thought I should introduce myself. I drive a black 2012 JK Unlimited and it's my third Jeep. My fiancée Andrea and I were at this year's Jeep101 and had a blast and are totally hooked. So much so, that I went out and bought some goodies to bu...
