Wrenchfest Please

So still trying to get things buttoned up on the JK. Will anyone be free on Sunday May 29th? It is the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and pretty much my only free day for the next 5 weeks. :\ Thinking mostly going to try to wrap up electrical stuff.

Re: Re-gear

Forgive me for sounding uneducated, never dealt with lockers before, but when adding a locker does that not replace the carrier? A locker does replace the carrier but someone mentioned it so I thought I would confirm. Sorry for any confusion. Now I am thinking 4.88...... E lockers and 30 spline fro...

Re: Re-gear

Go 4.88. We just got 37s on our 2015 and it does just fine on the street, pretty easy to go too fast actually. And when coming off the line I have to be careful to not give it too much gas.

You can also use the same carrier when going to 4.88s, anything after that does need a new carrier.

Re: Driveshaft Wrenchfest

Torque wrench is only needed in case Kurt sneezes and cranks it down to 300lb+

Don't forget also to pick up some sealant and lock tite.

Re: April 2nd Wrenchfest

Want to give a huge thank you to Kurt, Carl, Dan, and Mike (shop owner). We got a bunch done considering it took about an hour and a half to get the Jeep off the ground. When you have a 2dr with LA there are not many places you can put the arms of the lift. After a bunch of trial an error we took th...

Re: Heyyooo from Haverhill!

Welcome.

I have never wheeled a stock Jeep and if you see me behind the wheel it shows big time. It is much better to start stock and have the Jeep grow as you learn.
