    I pledge to OffRoad

    I think this will count as one of my post. I have been building my rig with MC components for awhile now. I am running the 3.5" GC suspension, the HD steering components, the front bumper system, the license plate relocation, the sport tire carrier with Hi-Lift mount, rear diff cover and skid...

    Shocking Dilemma

    I have been building my JK up slowly since I special ordered it in January of 2017. I am currently running a 3.5" GC with the FOX shocks that came in the kit back in 2019. I love the flex and on road manners (no brake dive on panic breaking for example), but recently I am noticing some issues...

    great thread. I just upgraded to the prorock44 and 37 inch Nitto Trail grapplers. I am still breaking in gears so haven't wheeled yet. Will be very interested to hear about the on road manners of the redneck ram as well. Is it twitchy, or close to factory feel...etc

    GMRS Questions.

    The MX275 is a great 15 watt unit. The tones I believe are sub audible and really used for connecting through repeaters. From what I understand, when you set a tone on a given channel, it can cut down on the extra chatter by ignoring the other folks on the channel without the tones. There are...

    Ask The Expert- F&R Axle Shafts during a Re-Gear?

    I agree that the RCV strength is outstanding. I ended up going with the chromoly shafts that were part of the dynatrac kit when I ordered my prorock44 however due to price, and the concept of "fusable" link. It may be an outdated thought process with the quality we see in the aftermarket...

    Broken Bolt on brake caliper bracket

    Broken Bolt on brake caliper bracket

    Broken Bolt on brake caliper bracket

    I was attempting to torque to spec the break caliper bracket bolt when it snapped at the shank. I was installing the Dynatrac big brake kit, so I had to remove the bracket. It snapped pretty far into the hole, so I am struggling for a way to get it out. 3 part question: 1. What is the best...
