    Experience with RCV shafts

    One little trick I have learned to aid in installing the shafts is after you place the boot inside the knuckle and slide the inner shaft through the boot, just as you are up against the boot with the CV, place a small metal pick tool under the boot and lightly lift upward, then push the shaft/CV...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    What have I been working on lately???? Moving out of my old home and shop. What a PITA. I took my 10k pound 2-post lift down to start with. One column down and one to go. Both columns loaded and strapped down on the trailer and ready to bring to the new house. I then moved on to getting...

    Experience with RCV shafts

    Love my RCV's in my JKUR. I have had them in my 2011 for nearly 65k driven miles and another 20k plus of towed miles now and would definitely recommend them. Absolutely no issues at all driving at freeway speeds. The only issue I have had with mine is a cracked orange boot on each side two...

    Jeep My Overland Project, the RME JKU

    Jeep is looking awesome Greg. You will love the long arm setup on your JKU. I agree with the removal of the OEM frame brackets being the worst part and taking the longest time to make for a clean installation. Mike.

    Jeep My Overland Project, the RME JKU

    Nice Greg. You'll love the long arms on the JKU. The best thing I did to mine was machine new link ends to get away from the proprietary poly bushings and go to the OE style rubber encapsulated bushings. The Jeep just floats down the road and is just as smooth off-road. Mike.

    ZMotorSports 2011 JKUR Build Thread

    Lastly it wasn't all rainbows and unicorns. On the last day of the trip on Governor's Basin trail I developed a noise that sounded like a dust shield coming in contact with a rotor. That kind of scraping/grinding noise. For a moment I thought I merely had a rock in between the rotor and the...

    The wife and I just returned from a Jeep/RV rally in Ouray CO so here are a few pictures from our trip. Airing down at the beginning of Black Bear Pass on the first day. Flexin' out on an extra credit near the top of Black Bear Pass. Day two was Poughkeepsie Gulch and here we are stopped at...

    Maybe I will have to have an overnight "breakdown" and then when we are back home I can tell her she did fine and we are half way there. Kind of a trial run thing.:rofl: Mike.

    Jeep My Overland Project, the RME JKU

    Thanks, my wife travel's everywhere with my but in the comfort of our coach. She loves wheeling and then returning to camp to sleep in her hotel on wheels. When I told her we may have to sleep in a tent for a couple of nights on the Rubicon trail she just said to park the coach and she will...

    Building TURBO system for YJ

    Nice. Where you have the intake duct polished, I would at least polish the carpenters level and maybe use red zip-ties to make it pop.:rofl: Seriously though, great job. Nice looking welds and very well executed. I especially like the kustom machining and welding touches but I am partial to...

    Nice job Greg. Glad to hear your Rubicon trip went off without issues. That is on my bucket list as soon as I can convince the wife to leave the confines of her mansion on wheels for a couple of nights.:rofl: Mike.

    When my wife and I were on vacation in NW Montana a few weeks back I had my main battery short out. I installed an Optima Yellow Top from a NAPA store while I was there and decided I would replace my auxiliary battery now to match so they would be matched. I am sure this installation was...
