    Custom fridge slide

    For sale is my custom made by yours truly fridge slide. It is made with 2- 250lb locking knape and voight slides. I designed it to fit my 50qt indelB/truckfridge but might fit others also. The interior measures out at 13.75"w and 26" l. It's heavy and therefore I'm not looking to ship it so...

    2016 JKUR + 3.5"&315's = feeling of oversteer

    So my new '16 JKUR with a JKS 3.5" lift, control arm drop brackets and 35's (315's) has a kind of flighty or oversteer feeling to it. It's a completely different feeling than my 2010 with 2.5" lift and drop brackets. I'm guessing the 2010 had a bit more caster because of the drop brackets than...

    2016 JKUR, AKA Dad's MiniVan

    So the night before last I went ahead and picked up a new 2016 JKUR in Rhino color. I've thoroughly enjoyed the 2010 its replacing but it could not keep up with our longterm plans to travel North America with a custom teardrop in tow. So, out with the old and in with the new... So, I wanted a...

    JKS J-spec 3.5" suspension?

    Anyone using it that can comment on it? I've always liked JKS products, they seem to be of good quality and now that I just bought a new rubicon it's one of the suspensions I'm considering. Most parts of the system are pretty well known of such as the track bar etc but what about the springs...

    Hardtop hoist for 20' garage ceiling??

    So I've decided that I'll probably never use my soft top again but it's still nice to occasionally go topless. I want to get some sort of hoist system but my ceiling in my garage is vaulted to 20'. I did it like this when building the house to accommodate a lift but have yet to get around to...

    Swapping 2.5" springs for 3.5"??

    Currently I'm running a teraflex 2.5" lift with bilstein shocks and rancho geometry brackets. The springs currently sag to the passenger side about an inch or so so I'll be replacing them soon, probably when I put on new 35" (315's) tires to replace my current 285's. I know the 315's will work...

    Just another teardrop build..

    So, back in early July we had friends over for dinner and got to talking about plans to go west next summer. They were having the same issues that I was which is staying in hotels and lodges every night at ridiculous rates. I'd been looking into teardrops for some time as its about the largest...

    M416a1 for sale, Raleigh NC. $2500

    Sold, thanks for all the interest. Well, I've decided to build a teardrop or two so I don't think I'll be needing the M416 any longer #1. I do not have a title for it. I've never been bothered towing unlicensed trailers here in NC so I didn't bother with this one either. It is easy to get...

    Prepping an 04 LJ for a teen to go west for a month or so

    So the deal I made with my 16yr old son was to pay for a road trip out west as long as he gets good grades and is accepted into a decent college. With his junior year nearly over and a 3.8 GPA it's looking like I'll have to pony up the funds next summer. But first, we need to get his LJ right...

    Would you trade??

    My son owns a 2004 Jeep LJ that is very well outfitted and in very good condition overall other than a slight amount of surface rust popping up underneath. A weekend underneath it would solve the rust issues. It has 163k on it, 4" lift, 33" duratracs, high pinion front axle and 4.56 gears. Tons...

    Longer and wider fenders for the M-416?

    I need bigger fenders so that I can take the spring over back off that I did a few weeks ago, I hate it being so tall. I would just fab my own but being in a rental house while I build doesn't really work out, half my stuff is in storage. I called AT about theirs and they sound ok but the guy...

    Anywhere to rent a JKU before buying?

    So it's looking like another long road trip out west is in order for next summer but I don't think I want to do it in my 2010 JKU. The performance, comfort and range at 12 MPG's was too unbearable this past summer to do it again. The wife would be perfectly happy doing it in her Infiniti QX56...

    JK winch bumper with front hitch?

    My current setup is the factory bumper that I've modified to fit the winch inside of it. It works great and is as light as it gets but I also do a lot of surf fishing that requires a front hitch for my rod rack. The front hitch won't bolt on when the winch is installed so I have to remove it for...

    M416 shackles, other than stock C's?

    Is there an aftermarket replacement shackle available? I'm not having any luck finding anything other than the stock C shackles. I'm hoping to find an aftermarket 1" or so lift shackle so I can put the spring over I just did back to a spring under.

    Importance of matching tire size to tow vehicle

    I'm getting a bit concerned about the condition of the original tires on my M416 and the ability to have them repaired by myself or even a tire shop if needed. So in looking for new tires, ideally I'd run matching 285/70/17's to have a common spare with my JKU but I don't want to lift the...

    Ways to improve mileage in a JKU?

    I recently wrapped up a 7650 mile trip from NC to several of the Rocky Mountain states and back and already can't wait to do it again next year. But, the mileage on the highway is horrible to the point I might tow it with my fathers f350 next year.. Here's my current setup 2010 JKU auto. 285...

    On board battery charger for fridge

    Is anyone using one? There are many times where my JKU is not driven for several days so I find myself removing the fridge or running a drop cord inside it for the fridge. Plus, many campgrounds we frequent have power on each site we could plug into as well. I'm thinking something basic such...

    Best battery for JK with fridge

    So I broke down and finally bought a fridge, an indel b 51. My stock battery is going on 4 yrs now so I'm going to be replacing it before my next trip with the fridge. I have no plans at the moment for adding a dual batt setup and it will be driven every day the fridge is used so I'm just...
