Well, having abused mine enough, I'd like to do front long arms and 4.5" of lift total, on 33s. Currently at 3" lift with 32" Kanati Trail Hog A/Ts, very pleased with the current setup, just would like to scrape my skid plates a little less (though its what they're there for!)

@Ronald Miranda Rumor has it Core is developing WJ long arms. Possibly. I haven't heard anything else on the matter.

Ok, so the biggest plus I see to Core 4x4 Control arms is their warranty. you break it, they replace it, no questions asked. They've been quite receptive to my asking them questions. The Bilstiens are the best shock I've ridden thus far. The 5100's have specific P/N for the WJs, and they're...

All right, With Pegasus homebase restored to functionality, it's time to work on the Jeep and get this big girl rollin' right! (especially since I can type on my own keyboard, and not on a phone again) I've got several chores to take care of on the front axle, the driver CV shaft is pretty much...

Well, early into last summer the G1W-C dash cam I was using ate another MicroSD card, and then promptly stopped working altogether. All in all, I was rather disappointed because this little booger has had plenty of issues over its short service life. After research I replaced it with an Anker...

Reporting in from the tablet, as epic, nightmare level shenanigans insued last week. Last Tuesday, I got home from work to find the house flooded! Finding the house under 4" of water was quite a shock indeed, fortunately 99% of our stuff was salvageable. Only major losses were particleboard...

All in all, pretty pleased with the results. Before: After: Before (projected on the garage door, for alignment purposes): After: As you can see, they are a bit more spot-y than they are supposed to be. I don't think they'll blind oncoming traffic though. They should cut through fog and...

Also, I forgot that recently that I started a vlog about the Jeep, life, and such. I'm sure it'll get better as my video editing skills improve! This one was just after I replaced the Radiator: In the meantime, I added something which I have been planning for a long while Over the last year...

Well, the fun doesn't stop there! I only bought the shift bezel, so I had the especially ...fun * cough cough* task of pulling the old shift bezel. Lots of pulling. But eventually it will release and you can pull the shift bezel. You have to cut the OD wires, as the shift setup isn't really...

Entirely possible!

It was terribly surprising to find it in a "medium duty" transfer case (that's what the 4 in 242 and 247 means) which shouldn't really have more than 3 from the factory. I'm guessing the day this junkyard t-case was produced, The factory must have ran out of the standard 3 way planetary gear, so...

Well, Today was the day! What day? The day I returned home from a much needed Transfer Case swap. I drove down Friday morning, and we promptly got the Old 247J out and broken down. We found some interesting things in the old 247J. One of the tasks was to pull the input shaft and planetary gear...

It's mighty handy for this reason. Going forward, If I can find a decent Android based HU, I'll be able to dedicate this tablet towards on/off road nav and route recording.

Happy New Year everybody! We spend the christmas holiday season in my native state of Oregon, where all of my relatives live. The first half of the vacation was great, with the last 3 or 4 days leaving most of us bedridden with a high fever. We arrived home Tuesday night after spending a night...

I forgot to update, but the old girl rolled over 100K on Thanksgiving morning!

One thing I can say is smart move. The most critical phase people skimp out on is the maintenance phase. I've witnessed these builds break down firsthand because someone was too hasty to do what you are doing now. Thanks for the complements! I hope for more interesting shenanigans In 2018...

For some reason, I never mentioned the B4W run I did earlier this year. It was called "Walnut Canyon" out of Golden Valley, AZ. It doesn't show up on any trail sites or in the trail books (I consulted my Mohave County Trails and 4x4 routes guide) So it's one only a few of the locals know. It is...

Well, I recently had the experience of walking out to a leaky radiator again. I had been preparing for this for a long time, as it isn't the first radiator this rig has gone through, and I've put a ton of abuse on this cheap $60 RockAuto rad in the last 5 years. So, as usual, I did something...

Well, they say when you love what you do, it isn't work. Things are going really well, and the full time pay is increasing possibilities that I can start doing higher-profile work on the jeep. The new position not only pays the bills but gives me enough to put some away for things like bumpers...
