The Banks turbo totally transformed my Rubicon. I only have 32s and I stayed with the stock 4.10 axles. It is a great combination. I have often wondered if I were to move up to 33s without changing the gears if it would ruin that ideal combination. At any rate, the Banks is no longer available...

The name Lance used to be synonymous with truck camper. Not so much anymore.

12.64 seconds in a stock Jeep? That sounds reasonable to me. I’ve got a Banks turbo (nearly an extra 100 hp at the wheels) and I don’t think I can do much better than 9 or 10 seconds. Stock Civics outrun me.

That is what I used.

This^^^^^^. This just happened to me. A new multifunction switch ($42) solved the problem.

Your Jeep has the Rubicon rocker guards. So….. is it a Rubicon? If you are getting a Rubicon for $3k, regardless of miles, it is a great deal.

I just had a 6 year old Odyssey AGM fail. I am somewhat dissapointed that such an expensive battery would fail in 6 years. I am traveling in the hinterlands so I just grabbed an AGM at Walmart to replace it. I was surprised to see that Walmart only sells AGM batteries now.

Does anyone wants this? It is seriously heavy. Free to anyone that will pick it up at my Walnut Creek, CA house.

The B&M may be extremely expensive. But you know what? It works, and it is considerably less expensive than rebuilding the 6-speed or putting in an AX-15. I actually consider it to be one of the best mods I have done to my TJ. I love the short throws.

I have a pair of 100A Battle Born batteries that I bought about 4 years ago. At the time they cost about $1000 each. Now you can get heated 100A batteries for about 1/3 that price. I wonder if they are just as good? You can also get much higher capacity batteries that are smaller than the...

I wonder what the story is on those engine mounts. I’ve never seen ones like that before.

I had a leaking seal on my Rubicon. I don't have a press and didn't want to deal with an unknown shop to get it replaced. So being pragmatic I bought some Revolution chrome-moly axle shafts with pre-pressed on bearings. It was a quick and easy fix. An expensive solution? Probably not when...

A company called “Electric Life” makes door locks and window winders.

I have a truck camper and while it is not what you are looking for, I will relate my experience with it. We rented one for a couple of years and then decided to buy. It has worked out very well for us. We keep it more or less ready to go, usually powered up with the refrigerator stocked. We...

Can you park this where you live? No HOA limitations or anything? That is ideal. Then you can have it provisioned and ready to go at any time. Then it really makes sense even if it doesn’t save money. If you have to store it in an RV lot, well, that is not so convenient.
