    ZMotorSports 2011 JKUR Build Thread

    Oh trust me, there's no getting through it. I've owned a couple which is why I won't own another. This one will be gone from the shop the second I get the regear completed. :rofl:

    Sorry, I was going to do a full review of them on my YouTube channel but didn't have time over the weekend. I will try to summarize here. I installed the 37x12.5x17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers in January 2019 when I did my LS swap. In just shy of 3 years I had acquired just over 40k miles on them...

    I replaced my 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers with new 37" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's over the weekend. Jeep pulled in the shop Friday night and up on jack stands to remove the 5 Nitto's. I haven't had to work off of jack stands in quite a while but I had a client's truck going on the lift...

    Thank you. RV's aren't for everyone but for the wife and I it is definitely a lifestyle choice. The people we have met and wheeled with over the years have created life long friendships and there is no other way I would want to see this great country we live in.

    My wife and I just returned from our annual fall Moab trip where we wheeled with the same group of friends that we did in Spearfish, SD last month. It was great to see them again, especially so soon after the last trip but unfortunately we won't see most of them again until next season. Our...

    Thanks Bart. I saw a video a couple of years ago when a guy dropped off the fall on Steel Bender and thought to myself "why did his tire catch?" Then 2 times this year I saw people catch their spare so I'm a little nervous now. Last year in Moab on Flat Iron Mesa two guys in front of me were...

    Trip Report Daytrip to Moab; 7 Mile Rim, Monitor & Merrimack Buttes, Wipeout Hill

    Great pictures and thanks for the primer Greg. Looks like a fun trip and Seven-Mile Rim is one of our favorites. JT is looking good on the rocks. I know what you mean about hoping the crowds will be less this time of year. We moved our annual trip to Moab from May to October about 10 years...

    I then wrapped it up in a towel to prevent rattling and stuck it in the storage bay of the coach to have it readily available when we know we will be running a trail worthy of needing it. Thanks for looking. Mike

    I racked the Jeep on Saturday to give her a good once over before the next trip and after looking the undercarriage over I decided to finally fabricate myself a hitch stinger to prevent any rear glass damage. I've seen two Jeeps this year catch the rear tire after coming off a ledge and...

    Wanted Welder to weld 3/4 rod end bung into link tube

    I've never had an issue on these larger bungs with threading the rod end in after welding. On the smaller ones such as 5/16" and 3/8" tube adapters I have on occasion run a tap through afterwards but never with a rod end or threaded material in the tube adapter while welding. Also, you've...

    Wanted Welder to weld 3/4 rod end bung into link tube

    No worries. It would definitely be better to have someone local to avoid the drive.

    How Does "Auto 4x4" Work?

    ^^This. The NP247 in the WJ's and the NP249 in the ZJ's were viscous coupled and were known to have coupler issue and the replacement viscous couplers were quite expensive to purchase.

    Too bad you disqualified me by stating Utah Co. I'm in Weber County and would be be happy to weld it.

    The Coffee thread

    I too am a heavy coffee drinker, even more so when the temps dip this time of year. My wife got me some Black Rifle for Father's Day and I really like it. We also enjoy the breakfast blend and caramel (something) that are Kroger's Private Selection.

    Trip Report Fall Colors Tour 2021; Colorado

    The trip looked like fun and colors are amazing Greg. We just returned from Spearfish, South Dakota last week and had great fall colors as well. Love this time of year wheeling.

    Painting a jeep hard top.

    I painted several old Blazer/Jimmy hard tops years ago and didn't care for either the black or white choice they came with from the factory. When they came into my shop I convinced the owners they could match the top to the body color. I ended up sanding down the tops to remove all of the...

    Tell me about your shop

    No software here but when we were looking at a house early on in our house hunting phase, we found one similar to what you have which was a pie shaped back yard. This one was where two different sub-divisions come together. Although I didn't care for the layout or the neighborhood the house...
