any luck?

I finally built my system - I'm really pleased with my manifold and chuck solution but I've bought three inexpensive compressors now and none of them are great. First one overheated with one tire so I returned it. Bought a cheap dual cylinder with an adjustable pressure shut-off switch and it...

Has anyone seen anything to enable us to hang side racks from the factory rails? All the ones I've seen have been been for aftermarket roof racks.

I have a little glitch in my 360 camera system and am wondering if this is a calibration issue or just a limitation of the system based on the asymmetry of the side windows. See below video - while this is a real digital miracle that it works at all, the left side is pretty clean and consistent...

I wonder if there is a forscan speed mod (say 45)

Sounds reasonable

It's unclear to me whether he means you don't need the sway bar at all? Or if he's saying you don't need the disconnect? If he's saying we don't need them at all, that's against all safety and handling knowledge I'm aware of. My question is about off-road performance.

Why do you say that?

Here's what I'm getting at... With IFS, the frame isn't going to be lifted as much as a SFA and so you won't get as much clearance help by putting a tire over an obstacle as you will with the SFA. So, if that's true (and it seems clear that it is) then it seems like flex is not your friend...

Just had a thought - is it best not to disconnect the sta-bar in some circumstances? For example, when I put a wheel on a high part of an obstacle, I can lift the body to gain clearance over other parts of that obstacle. But, if I have less flex, I raise the body less. Thoughts?

Can you share a link?

I don't think you'll regret SAS -- I wish I had it in my Badlands. I thought I wouldn't care, but the gearing can't easily be added. I also went back and forth on 2.7 - my 2.3 is certainly adequate but something inside still wants the 2.7.

Thanks. Sounds like a fun thing to put together. I have bought a few small portable compressor and they overheat too easy. I don’t care how long it takes or how long they last but want something small and inexpensive. Anyone seen any of those retail brands that perform well enough?

That's my Hot Pepper Red Bronc (Bucky) - took my son as well in his 2008 Jeep Wrangler JK (bone stock).

Just got back from http://offroading101.com (in Bryan). It was a lot of fun and learned a ton - even after doing OffRoadeo. Looking forward to their other classes. Great group of folks, too. Mostly from Houston area, but not exclusively. There was one other Bronco - mostly Jeeps. I...

I'm thinking of getting some half-length boards - anyone have experience with those? should be easy to mount and always have with me.

I bought a Harbor Freight torque wrench and it's impossible to hear/feel any sort of click. It's at the bare minimum of the torque range, so I don't think it's a good option.

I really like that - do you have a parts list?

Hanging with the Jeeps at an off-road course - instructor made this after. If OffRoadeo is all about the experience and learning to know what you and your rig "can" do - this group is about teaching you "how." Looking forward to future classes. If you're in Central/East/Northeast Texas...
