Re: Lifts and tires - Reliable research information

Anyone ever use Off road elements for any work? Looking for a shop that's close to check on skids and potentially open on a weekend which seems rare these days.

Re: Lifts and tires - Reliable research information

I started looking at skids and working on figuring out what I need. Sunday I took a quick look to see the points I hit Saturday and to see if anything was dangling. I noticed a couple of protective pieces, not sure what they are covering. Given I'm not mechanically knowledgeable, I've seen some diag...

Re: Lifts and tires - Reliable research information

Appreciate the guidance and information. I've known since I bought her I wanted a lift. I got into information overload with so many varying opinions. Given its my daily and I have 120 miles a day for a commute I want to be extra careful on my choices. Or I explain why I now need to buy my muscle ca...

Re: Lifts and tires - Reliable research information

I would like to be able to do more climbing and rocks instead of having to go around some of the areas. I don't plan on going crazy rock climbing, but the couple of ledges from yesterdays run would be fun to be able to try.

Lifts and tires - Reliable research information

What I learned at Jeep 101.. A great many things actually, but confirmed my desire to lift and look at 35's. I did as suggested this trip and looked at the different rigs, talked to people and came away more confused and unsure than I was at the start of the day. There are so many different opinions...

Re: Talk of upgrades

Good info, I had skids on the list but had forgotten. I do want to see what others have done and see the differences in lifts, tires,etc. Being new to jeeps its helpful to hear about what others have done as well as their order of the upgrades. With my lengthy commute I did the inside first, stereo,...

Re: Talk of upgrades

At the end of the day, my jeep is my daily commuter. I also love going off road with it and want to be able to do more off road. I have been thinking 35's and an equivalent lift that would allow me to off road safely, do some minor rock areas. I also want to replace the stock front and back bumpers ...

Talk of upgrades

Curious how others planned upgrades. I have big plans for Da Thug, lift, tires, bumpers, etc. Would you look at doing tires first or the lift? Or are those usually done at the same time? Are there any laws in MA or CT about tire size or lift height for street rides? Someone at the office mentioned t...

Re: CB radio

My CB is mounting in the center console so you don't see it AT all. I don't like things showing in case someone tries to find a reason to strip my Jeep!! CB antenna is mounted to my rear bumper- legit drilled thru my bumper. I don't have a spare tire mount. The cable runs under the carpet to the ba...

Re: Vector offroad Bar installed

They make both options, full bar which goes end to end and the stubby which doesn't cover the whole dash. i went with the whole dash, incase I wanted to mount other devices at some point.

Re: Vector offroad Bar installed

It's really solid, but not enough I'd let people use it to pull themselves into the jeep. It screws into the dash, no drilling pre-existing screws in the jeep. it took me all of 15 minutes. Instructions: http://www.vectoroffroad.com/images/JKE ... lation.pdf

Vector offroad Bar installed

I've been looking for a good phone mount and I finally did the deed and picked up the Vector off road bar and ram mounts. I love the look and how secure the devices feel in the holders! https://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a7df06b3127cceee627f5ceba700000030O2wAbt2rlw0bsmbUHt58L/cC/f%3D0/ls%3D005327489...
