Re: Upgrade time... Lift, disconnects and control arms?

I have a 2012 2dr JK with the TF 3" and the TF 8 arm Sport fixed FlexArms. Got the FlexArms to improve flex along with sway bar disconnects and to correct pinion and caster angle. Pinion angle was important for my Tom Woods drive shafts. I like the TF fixed flex arms because they are made spec...

Re: 54" Trail Jack Help/Suggestions

I took the rear seat belts off the other night and free up some room so it was on to the trail jack! I decided to take Kurt's advice and for 8 bucks I got me a cool jack mount! Right where I want it and it's easy on/off. The guy at the parts store was like... say what? Then he saw what I was doing a...

Re: 54" Trail Jack Help/Suggestions

Thanks BlackNBlue-ISH. Not sure I like a huge jack mounted right there. If you do get it, give us some feed back after a few times driving with it. Frank - I will look at your setup too and see how it looks. I wont cut it just yet... will look around at the 101 and see what others have and see if I ...

Re: 54" Trail Jack Help/Suggestions

I have not seen it on JKs too much but another option depending on your bumper is to mount it on the front bumper. My TJ had a mount like that on the original bumper waaay back in the day. https://www.quadratec.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_zoomed/public/product_images/JackMount_W_Jack.jpg...

Re: 54" Trail Jack Help/Suggestions

Either you can buy special clamps to mount it to the roll bars or you can make your own out of a couple of exhaust pipe clamps. If you find the 54" is too long simply cut it down to the desired length. Thanks Kurt! I was thinking of chopping off 10" to make it easier to move. Will look at...

Re: JK Rear Seat Removal

Yes, I Finally got it out. Had it ratchet strapped together, whacking the brackets with a hammer and 4x4, prying with a huge pry bar and then a flat shovel. I ended up cutting the cable for when the seat folds down, my son was pulling that as I jammed a flat shovel under the catch and bracket and fi...

Wanted to post up a great experience dealing with Gillian at Offroad Elements. She was great working with me in deciding what goodies I needed for my Jeep. I ended up getting a Front Bumper, Back Bumper and Rock Sliders. I had the plastic bumpers on and that was not gonna cut it on the trails so tim...

Re: Seat repair / Foam issues

I look on CL once a week to see what for sale or free.... some good stuff on there from time to time.

I thought getting it redone would be the best way to go. Now my new to me Jeep has a new seat for me to thrash in the woods!
Lets get muddy!! :obscene-drinkingcheers:
