    Brandon's Arles Blue TJ

    I thought I'd be good with the BL and MML......I was not! lol I think I'll try to get in there and clean it up a bit, but I may just leave it. As long as it doesn't seem to have issues cooling. Or maybe radius a piece of aluminum and rivet it to the outside of the shroud. I think that would...

    Brandon's Arles Blue TJ

    Well, today was the first real hiccup I've had with the Jeep while wheeling, and it was ultimately my fault. Since I've done the skid plates, I haven't had the Jeep out. So we loaded up and went to Tahuya for the day, and the weather was fantastic. The new truck towed great! We got there and it...

    Ok, I'll go ahead and plan to swap my days. I'm working now but text the wife to see if she would be down.

    Brandon's Arles Blue TJ

    I'm currently scheduled to work, but I could probably change from that Thursday/Friday off to Friday/Saturday. Looks like Reiter is about 2 hours, not bad. I'm not familiar with the trails up there other than what bit I've seen on Nate's videos. Looks like it would be a fun place to hit for a...

    Heading to Tahuya with the family tomorrow to try out the new skids and beadlocks. And tow with the new truck for the first time. Supposed to be like 54 degrees and sunny, should be a good day!

    Wife totaled her Jeep WK2 Hemi

    On the talk of TPMS, I don't mind them on a daily, if equipped from the factory. It's not something I would ever add if it didn't exist. My sister-in-law bought my nephew a 2005 Tacoma for his first car and I installed seat cover, lights, a small lift, and new wheels and tires. I ordered the...

    ROTY Black Magic Brakes Big Brake Kit

    Maybe this thread will motivate me to install mine! 🤦🏻‍♂️ But I also have a new rear drum kit to install, so I'm not excited about a full day (hopefully not more!) of brake work 😕 definitely not on my list of favorite things to do.

    Truck Campers

    We haven't looked at the Wolf Creek yet, but I think we are going to go with the Lance 850. The price difference on the two is fairly minimal while the features and quality on the Lance seem to make up for it easily. My son and I toured the Lance yesterday and really liked it. The place that...

    Wife totaled her Jeep WK2 Hemi

    When I put new wheels on my Ram, they just swapped the factory sensors in and remounted the factory tires and wheels (only charged a couple dollars per) and then I sold the stocks and just listed them without tpms. Worked for me. But I may have just gotten lucky with selling them because he was...

    Let me put it a different way. At that time, our income didn't make sense to have two V8 vehicles! 🤣

    Wife totaled her Jeep WK2 Hemi

    Personally, we've loved our 3.6 but it's also just my wife's daily and our family car. When we bought it, I had a Ram 1500 5.7 and 8-speed (until 2 nights ago). We had no need for two V8 vehicles. If you compare them side-by-side I have no doubt I would want the V8. But the 3.6 does great for...
