    South-East Utah Moab March 10-14, 2014

    Sorry Alan, we would have loved to meet up with you and run a trail or two. We did Sevenmile Rim, Bartlett Overlook, Hidden Canyon Overlook, Fins & Things, Bartlett Wash, Hell's Revenge, Delanbau Tunnel and Secret Spire (which were pretty easy but scenic). We will have to meet up another time...

    South-East Utah Moab March 10-14, 2014

    We won't be doing anything too extreme as this is only my son's second time taking his newly built Jeep to Moab. I don't think I will be bringing my JKU, I will just be riding with my son. Some father/son time will be nice. Mike.

    South-East Utah Moab March 10-14, 2014

    Anyone else planning on heading to Moab for spring break this year? My son is out for the week and we are heading down for a few days. Wondering if anyone would like to run a trail or two if you are down there the same week. Mike.

    Pictures from Saturday Nov. 9th trip to Rattlesnake

    We couldn't have asked for nicer weather for the first part of November. I think I heard the other day that we are about 20 degrees high for the average this time of year. I'll take it. Mike.

    Northern Utah Rattlesnake Saturday November 9th

    Doesn't seem to impair performance or anything so it looks like we will just run this one for a while. I guess the dent in the muffler give it character now. Personally, I could do with less character.:laughing: Mike.

    Pictures from Saturday Nov. 9th trip to Rattlesnake

    Here are some pictures from Saturday's trip out to Rattlesnake. It was great to wheel with everyone and meet some new people. We had a great group Saturday. Mike. The group stopped on the trail waiting for the group ahead of us to move forward. Daryl entering the twisty section of the...

    How does the JK rate?

    There are some tight turns that a YJ/TJ/JK can negotiate with relative ease that with the longer JKU it may require a three point turn. However, there are times when a three point turn is simply not an option. In those situations, there have only been a few for me, I either go over the obstacle...

    How does the JK rate?

    I have had my 2011 for two years now this month and love it. Personally I think it is the best platform for an all purpose Jeep thus far. Great street manners for a daily driver and outstanding off road capabilities. The Unlimited wheelbase is close to ideal most of the time. There are a few...

    ZMotorSports 2011 JKUR Build Thread

    A little update. While servicing my Jeep on Friday night, I noticed how exposed the EVAP canister is under the Jeep to damage from rocks. I know there are many, many companies out there building protection/skids for these canisters but I simply cannot bring myself to buy one, I have to...

    Moab October 2013 (UEA Weekend)

    For a quick, short trip to Moab two weeks ago, we had a blast. Too bad we couldn't get a few more Forbidden members to join us. It was UEA weekend and the trails and town were busy but the weather was fan-freakin'-tastic. High's in the mid 60's with lows in the high 30's/low 40's. Couldn't ask...

    Thanks Brian, that is good to hear. I generally pull mine in the shop and check my toe once a month or so (usually after an off-road excursion) but up until two weeks ago and bending my tie rod I have not had to make any adjustments either. Hopefully this tie rod will last a long, long time...

    ZMotorSports 2011 JKUR Build Thread

    Thanks Brian, have you heard of anyone having any issues long-term with their RK tie rod. I read on one forum while I was researching that someone had the tie rod end pull out of one end taking the threads with it. My guess would be that the jam nut came loose and had been loose for a while...

    ZMotorSports 2011 JKUR Build Thread

    Well after my little incident of kissing a rock with my tie rod on the Snakes a couple of weeks ago, I decided to take that out of the equation before this weeks trip to Moab. I did some research and ended up taking Brian's (TJDukit) advice on purchasing the Rock Krawler HD Tie Rod. It is made...
