That sure makes sense, at least on the surface. Here is the whole picture. I currently have the Trac-Lok in the rear Dana44 and a pegleg Dana30 front with 3.73 axle gears. Ultimately, I intend to have lockers front and rear; for budgetary reasons, I will only install one at the present time...

Oh, no wonder you were worried. :rofl: About as good as a brand new Trac-Lok can do... which isn't all that great. Okay, it isn't entirely useless; when I apply a generous amount of parking brake, I can get it to "lock up" and help get me moving again. Having had a genuine locker in the...

We have, though you are completely forgiven for not remembering since it was on the infamous Snakes noob night run when there were 50+ rigs in attendance. Sadly, I have not. This isn't due to lack of desire; my career (car sales) doesn't afford me much free time, particularly on weekends...

Ah, yes, the Project JK Rubicon run. In part 3 (seen above), I'd like to point out 3:41 where the 4dr JK Rubicon gets hung up and needs to be strapped off, then stack rocks, and finally bystanders must shove and muscle the Jeep to get it through the obstacle... but the all-stock TJ next in line...

Woo-hoo! We're on the calendar. :D

My issue #1 has just been overcome: I was successful at arranging the time off of work. :) BTW: Steve, have you checked the trail schedule to see if our proposed dates are "available" to run? When I first looked into it last year, I remember reading on more than one Rubicon Trail site that any...

A week or two ago, I had my friend Matt build a custom roll cage for my Wrangler. My plan was to remove the weak link in the OEM setup (the front arms) and build upon the remainder in order to improve the cage's overall strength and performance should I ever turn turtle while rock crawling...
