From last weekend but went wheeling at Big Creek and Uwharrie. Night wheeled Dickey Bell on Friday and Saturday did Big Creek 9-5 and Daniel after that. For those that follow me on Instagram you probably already saw the footage but here ya go.

Thanks! I’m sure you have lots of stories to boot. Never stop learning!

Lose friends? Haha it was a good time. We had a good idea of how to do it. I’m to the point now where I could set gears up by myself if I had to. I don’t have any certifications or anything but I do everything in the driveway when I can. It’s the best way to learn. What will you do if it breaks...

For those trails in Lenoir, that’s near Kinston right? I didn’t know anything was that Far East of Uwharrie. If so, I’m only 30 minutes away

The bulkhead fitting is what failed and let water in. It’s not a bad job, just time consuming. Having selectable lockers is great especially when you need traction immediately

By no means am I a pro. I was working with a buddy of mine who has never done this before either. It’s really not difficult. We found the exploded view of the locker and just started unbolting things until it was just the cage and all the teeth were out. Thank you for the compliment! We will be...

Tore apart the rear axle today to find and fix the ARB locker. This is the 4th or 5th time I’ve had the axle apart in about as many months. Leak was coming from inside the locker this time so took out the carrier, tore the locker all apart and cleaned everything to be brand new looking. Replaced...

Last day of the work week for me. Tomorrow I’ll be packing and finishing up a few mods before our trip. Spare driveshafts, rear axle shaft, stub shafts, u joints, fluids, tools and recovery gear are already packed. Need to mount the hi lift, re install the cb radio somewhere, buy a couple more...

Fixed the arb locker, replaced tie rod ends and cleaned off the Reid knuckles and rcv boots. Third time taking apart the front axle in the last two months.

Cool. I dislike electrical a lot haha. Really don’t want to burn anything to the ground. I’d probably buy a kit if I were to do it

What did you use to isolate them? Looks good

Thanks! If you’d like more, feel free to follow me on Instagram or Facebook @nc_jk_crawler

In the last couple of months I’ve done a few more things. I started competing in car shows and have actually won a few awards. I built a tailgate table and made the vinyl stickers for it. I also wired a light and bolted in a bottle opener on the tailgate. I installed the first half of the...

It’s been awhile since I’ve been on the forums. Anyway, I needed all new bearings in both axles. Front will be done sometime in the near future. Every joint got lubed, sold the hardtop and frameless soft top after finding a Bestop Trektop Pro for $400. Also painted the fenders and front bumper...

It’s been awhile since posting but I actually got stuck last weekend. Self recovered using my winch and also pulled a buddy out.

Hey there, I went with a car quest reman starter from advance auto. Nothing special. Swapped in and it fired right up. As for the rock rails, it did still have the stock steel ones that came with the Overland models. I did sell the Jeep awhile back but I’m happy to help with anything you need. I...

Wow. I just looked that up to verify and you’re right. A tundra is 80” wide and a Raptor is 86” wide, 97” if you include the mirrors. That’s massive.

Installed LED fog lights, added grip tape to the sliders to help grip while wet, made a shovel/ax mount with quick fist clamps and installed an EVO Protek HD Crossmember. Also got the backup camera almost up and running. Just need to lengthen the cable but can’t find any jack extensions smaller...
