I don't necessarily agree with this. The 700R4 is a good transmission but a bit undersized behind a big block. The new nomenclature for the 700R5 is 4L60E which is just the littler brother to the 4L80E. For comparison's sake, figure the 4L60E(700R4) is equivalent to the TH350 in terms of...

One of the guys we travel with in our RV group has a Commander that looks very similar to this one. Like Steve mentioned, it does well on the mild to moderate stuff. Probably similar to what a WJ would do if similarly built. Mike.

My new shocks showed up Friday so on Saturday I replaced the shocks on my Jeep. New Fox Shox 2.0. These are for the 4"-6" lift so they are a little longer bodied than my BDS that I removed. I am afraid my BDS shocks were actually my limiting straps as they were limiting my axle droop. Old...

Thanks Greg. Ya, I hated to drill all of those holes but Teraflex did their homework and the gasket should help tremendously. To be honest, one of the things I liked most about the Teraflex sliders were the fact that they stuck out enough to keep the sides out of a rock but also to prevent...

I have wanted to replace my stock rock rails with the Teraflex rock sliders for several years now on my 2011 Jeep JKUR, I finally bit the bullet and purchesed them. They showed up a couple of days ago and last night I pulled the Jeep in and commenced work. Here are the new Teraflex 4-door JK...

Your welcome Greg, I hope others find it helpful. I have wanted to do it to mine for a while but finally just decided to make time and get it done. All in all it only took about a half an hour. Again, I should have performed this mod a long, long time ago. Mike.

Thanks Russ, I really appreciate the comments. Mike.

Thanks Brian, I have been wanting to do it for a while now, just never found the time. Mike.

Agreed, I was just giving him a comparable as far as size/body style. The WJ's have their own inherent "quirks", but are still a very strong daily driver/weekend wheeler. The only issue I have seen with the 4.7's as far as engine issues have been the valve train rockers which can be time...

I have had an XJ and two ZJ's that were mildly built and did some fairly aggressive wheeling as well as being my wife's daily driver for many years. As Cody said, don't be looking to do any of the hardcore trails without extensive mods but a mild lift and tires will net some great results yet...

Thank you. I appreciate that and thanks for following my build thread. Mike.

I'm embarrased as she's a little dirty, time to give her a bath after the LOF service. Our Jeep wears her badges with honor. After performing the LOF and rotating the tires on the Jeep I decided to dig through my misc. switches and grab a section of wire and perform a ESC/BAS bypass mod...

Nothing too elaborate lately, been doing more mechanical work than fabricating lately. Quick little project I did for my wife. When we were sitting watching a movie on New Year's Eve, she casually mentioned that she wished she had a small end table to put her drink on next to the love seat in...

I would like to trade up to this today if I had the coin. I love our coach but if I could I would trade up for this in a heartbeart. 2006 Foretravel Phenix 40' coach. Mike.

Nice. Love the color. Mike.

I had to point out your rig to my wife. She thought it was pretty cool as well.:thumbs: Mike.

Did you happen to be down in West Point a couple of days ago? I thought I saw you driving on 800N just east of 3000 W. Mike.

Ya, if you have gaps or non-insulated doors these freakin' temps will get your attention won't they. Mike.

Last night I helped my son install his new sub-woofer in his Jeep as his old one wasn't working when he purchased it. He finally got around to deciding on a replacement and we had an opportunity last night to hang out in the shop and BS as well as install the new one. Great night. Mike.

A couple of weeks ago I sold my old horizontal and my vertical bandsaws. Over the past couple of days I have been able to get my new Baileigh BS-210M horizontal bandsaw off-loaded and set up. I then moved on to uncrating my Birmingham KB-45 vertical bandsaw. Parked in its new home...
