The 3.73’s worked ok this weekend and we did some climbing and a bit of mild rock crawling on the 33’s. It helps that the Rubicon has lockers and a really good 4 low.

I thought that too, till I had the build sheet pulled and mine has 3.73 gearing. So I would have to do a gear change regardless.

I am running 33” tires at the moment, but plan to go to 35’s in the future. So yea, I found out that it was both sturdy and very capable. So, I am thinking maybe just get some better diff covers to provide some added protection for the pumpkin’s as they are the most vulnerable and they are...

Sorry, should have mentioned. My 2015 is a Rubicon with a 2” lift, Fox 2.0’s and I have cut my stock fenders. So, really looking to just beef thing up that could be generally weak.

I spent the day yesterday at one of the Jeep Adventure Academy’s down in Llano Texas. I used to wheel but have not in many, many years and had picked up a 2015 Jeep JKU and wanted to get a refresher. Glad I did, because they taught me a lot of how the new Jeep’s work and I was suitably impressed...

Just have to remove the bike rack to open the back. Everything else works without removing it. Course if the rack was packed that would be an issue. Just depends on where I put stuff that I would pack inside or out.

NVM, found it at Northern Tool. Thank you for showing me that!

Where can I get that? It would be perfect and my bike rack has a cinch that allows me to tighten it in the receiver. So it would only rattle around as much as the bottom adapter does.

I deleted my spare, so the spare would not get in the way of anything. I run my mountain bike carrier on the hitch most of the time. So, I would have to trade between them.

Back last summer I picked up a Hooke Road roof rack and side panels for my JKU. I have used it a bit, but not as much as I expected I would. Typically, when I go places it is only me in the Jeep. So I can pretty much pack anything I need inside. Plus, I have the luxury of locking all my stuff...

There are also uses for something Like this for bridging as well as those times when you just need a quick bit of traction.

And actually, without spending an arm and a leg, what traction board would you suggest. I could just get a bag and carry them inside the JKU as well.

I have been searching the interwebs for this, and know I have seen it, but cannot find the thread now that I am ready to do something. So, sorry if I am not googling correctly. A buddy and I are setting our Jeeps up for some light to moderate off roading. He just purchased a winch, and I am...

You mean, like it's always deliverin. Right. I agree.

Should not. However, I called USSPEED today and talked to a very helpful tech (Jake). Seems what I needed to do is to take a something small enough to fit in a hole behind the gauge (in this case a 15mm Torque head driver) and press on the pin housing. He said sometimes the process of pulling...
