    Banging transmission

    I revived an old thread about transmission mounts but before I start spending money I want to make sure I'm chasing the correct problem. I have an 04' Rubi with the 5 speed NV3550. Rock Krawler long arm kit and skid from PO so not sure what else is stock and whats not. Whenever I hit a big...

    Colorado Adjustable front track bar

    Adjustable font track bar, new heim joint, frame side drop bracket, with matching XJ pitman arm. Ran this set up for last few years with no issues, bracket and pitman arm match. Replaced heim joint (less than 50 miles), ended up upgrading to Rockjock. Make an offer, prefer local pick up.

    Wheeler Lake, CO, 6/30/25

    Lap through Wheeler with @lBasket @NDSpeed and my buddy Thomas. One of those days if something was going to go wrong it did but still an amazing day in the mountains.

    Almost flopped

    Been a thread recently about "is my cage good enough". Came way too close to testing mine yesterday. Landed rubber side down. Won't let me post video for some reason but a series of bad decisions got me here lol. Sometimes need to push the line to know where exactly it is

    Moody Hill

    Moody Hill is rated moderate but found a quarry area that was like a skate park for Jeeps. So many obstacles to play on. Neither one of us know the area, so was fun just exploring. Lower altitude for out here so hopefully get a few more tries before it gets snowed in

    Rancho & Bilstein Stats

    These have been reviewed in here several times but this was the first fact based thing I could find so thought I would share. I currently have 5100 Bilsteins on my rears with a 5.5" long arm lift & 35s. Front shocks are Fox 2.0 ready for a rebuild and think rears could be replaced. Ride beats...

    Know enough to know I don't know sh#t

    I have an 04", manual Rubi with 45k miles. I am no mechanic but can follow youtube and been reading this forum pretty much daily. Street legal but primarily used on trails. I wheel minimum once a week, usually more. Trails are moderate to what I think is difficult. Do regular fluid changes, did...
