I think this year there is some leeway in some shops but I'm thinking that may be gone next year. I took Melinda's in to the dealer today to have my old 32's installed and the computer updated and got a warning. I ended up talking to the service manager for awhile on the inspections and his take was...

I did some skids last year, Diffs, control arms, oil pan. I thought I had done the engine, but I hadn't and went for the lift,etc. I have the Rough country fuel skid sitting in the shed and I just ordered the JCR Engine Skid due this week. Hoping I can get into a shop or dealer to have them installe...

Any recommendations for a trusted mechanic near Canton? One of my co-workers has a Grand Cherokee in need of brakes, but doesn't want the dealer or dealer parts, wants something that will last.

Thanks

I've learned planning is the key and some time on the trails. I have done mine in phases, started with the lift then did 35's, regeared and trussed my Dana 30. Now I'm looking to add lockers this year. I was going to pull the trigger, but Scott needs the jeep for 7-10 days which is a long time with ...

Welcome! I still love the mud! The entire offices judges my weekend based on what DaThug looks like when they come in Monday mornings. Dealership around here does detailing all in for $149 I told her I was going to test them out one day to see if they really do it for that cost ;o) Hope to see ya on...

It's great to see you joined the forum! You did an awesome job on that run and taking the challenges! A plan is the best place to start!

I wouldn't be re-gearing. I did that last summer when I went to 35's.

I’m starting to look at E-lockers and had some questions to get started. • What locker configuration do most go with? Front and Rear? Or just one locker in front or rear? • I have the Dana 44 rear and Dana 30 front (welded truss reinforced). Can I do a locker on the Dana 30? • Any preferred brands o...

I started planning future growth for switches and looking at the options that will accommodate going forward. I've found 3 potentials looking at different forums to see what others have done and curious if anyone here has these switches. Apollotech: https://www.amazon.com/Apollointech-Wrangler-2009-...

Thanks everyone. I can see adding a couple more things to the mix down the line.

I got KC lights for Christmas and they came with a small round red rocker switch. I've been looking for a switch that would fit the stock panel but all I really see is the oval rocker switches. Do most folks add a separate switch panel for external lights, etc? This is probably a dumb question, I ju...

the stock fuel is pretty thin, when I had her lifted that was the first thing Scott said.. I should replace the fuel skid as its pretty dinged up. I have many other skids as I did those before lifting.

There is always a lot to do on the Jeep. I'm curious as to some smaller upgrades or modifications that you have done or recommend.

One I have talked to a couple people about is the air intake replacement. Steering stabilizers? One of the next items I need is a fuel tank skid.

Just picked up Da Thug from Scott's where he wrapped up phase II of the build. She got a truss on the front axle, 456's and 35's. Oh and we needed a supercal to reprogram the computer. Of course I get her back today and I leave for the West Coast Sunday morning for work. I won't get to drive until n...

I was talking with Scott yesterday and he said they are hearing that the state is going to start cracking down this fall. I started looking at the registry and vehicle inspection info on the state site and have not yet stumbled onto anything where you can get any paperwork for off road customization...
