I'm looking for photos of other 2012 JK owners who've mounted small 12 volt air compressors and am not having much luck. Anyone have photos or directions to another link? Jon

Has anyone ever replaced the locker indicator switches on an 05 Rubicon? They screw into the top of the differential housing and when the locker is engaged, the locker plate pulls the switch which turns the light on up on the dash. We replaced the rear seals and after reinstalling the carrier...

Arg, I can't get the pictures to look larger than thumbnails. Never-the-less, the plot thickens.... When we pulled the rear diff cover off again, the locker plate (can see it on the photo, on the left side) seemed to be sitting in there at an angle, as if something wasn't letting the top half...

Update:

I think the springs look too long or like they're already heavily loaded and flattened. Could you have accidently switched the front and rear springs?

I just had the inner and outer rear axle seals on my 05 Rubicon replaced, but now the rear electric locker will not disengage. I've tried cycling the locker switches while in 4L, during which the front locker engages/disengages appropriately, but the rear locker light just flashes and will not...

Roof Rack: I too don't really recommend a roof rack for all but the shortest of trips and the lightest of loads. The large ones that mount to the body tub and window frame are heavy, create oodles of drag, are expensive, and although the companies advertise that they easilly swing up and out...

All astute points, gentlemen. The point of the thread, however, is to stimulate some discussion which may eventually result in someone saying "aha! here's a way with which we could measure this modification objectively!" Which is exactly the way the RTI and dynamometer (for measuring horsepower)...

++++++ATTENTION PILOTS AND SCIENTISTS++++++ I'm tired of our community being reduced to relying on "case-based" information and advice when it comes to soliciting help choosing accessories and parts for our vehicles. When I'm considering a certain component, or performance modifier, I want...

I'm looking for someone who's got personal experience with a complete Nth degree lift, either 4.5 or 6" on a TJ, preferably a Rubicon. Please contact me or post a review and some pictures. Thanks.

First of all, I've had both and employed each of them in a variety of settings from Washinton state with brief camping trips into the Cascades and daily trips to ski at Snoqualmie and Crystal Mountain, to 2,000 mile highway trips on the interstate, to Louisiana's swamps, to a week long trip...

I've done some reading online and several people have mentioned that the rear crossmember on a tj is very, very weak, and they've even recommenced removing the gas tank and cutting out the rear cross member, to replace it with something beefier. A properly designed bumper, cantilevered to the...

Johnny, I love that idea about mounting under the rear cross member. What about changing it from "freespool" to "winch" modes? I suppose this necessitates crawling up the rear? Tom, I've heard of people using solenoids for this sort of wiring. I guess this just alows you to prevent the...

REX is getting a custom made rear winch bumper. There are two options for electrical power: A) use the two battiers under the hood, through a fused switch and cable along the frame to the rear. How do I know how much power (amps, volts, or whatever) I'll loose with 10 feet of cable? What sized...

Midnightsecurity, I've experimented with several ways to carry stuff like cans, highlifts, skiis, Pelican cases, and canoes. I had a KargoMaster rack that flipped back, allowing soft top removal, but that was a joke. It was very heavy, howled incessantly in the wind, oscilated when loaded...

Also, here are Vex and Rex in Gig Harbor, Washington. Man, I hated that rack! Also, the hottest jeep girl in the whole world, posing in the great Southwest. It's really this forum that has helped me with this build 2.5 years ago. Thanks for everyone's help and advice. I've been away for the...

All right, here are a few. First, Dad in South East Asia and in an M151, I think. This photo was my inspiration for getting into jeeps and also for joining the Army. I'm headed to Afghanistan next month, Helmand Province. Not quite as humid as Vietnam, but definately just as hot. Then me in the...

Hey John, that's good advice; thank you. I still wish I could find some one who has this Premier Power unit and get some real world feedback. Everyone says it's a great unit but I've never actually found someone who owns it. Doesn't anyone out there have personal experience?

I'd really like to hear from someone who has 1st hand experience with the welder. Anyone?

Hurricaine season is here (Southern Louisiana) and everyone recommends I get a generator to keep the beer cold, etc. I'd rather upgrade the jeep's electrical system to use as a stationary engine. I've got two options: 1)Premier Power's welder, puts out like 2500 Wats of 110v from a...
