Small group went up and ran the Whipsaw over the weekend, had an absolute blast and gave the Donkey a pretty good workout tugging my trailer through it. I was fortunate not to have issues like @popo_patty and managed to keep mine wheels down, but it wasn't for lack of trying :crackup: Here...
This is my fourth time running the Rubicon, and overall the Bronco did admirably when compared to the Jeep(s) that I've run the past. Here are a few pics if anyone is interested:
Anyone have any ideas how to kill this:
What this translates to when the door is shut is a tapping noise as I drive over bumps. I've tried pouring water all along the outside to ensure there is nothing trapped between the window and the felt seal, but that's not doing...
Follow me here... I'm cheap, and I took the inexpensive path toward achieving my rear lift by drilling new holes in the LCA brackets on the axle, about 1-3/4" higher than the factory hole. In retrospect, it now sits too high in the rear for my liking and I'd like to lower it back down about an...
Taking cues from all of those that have already paved this path, I dove in and booger welded a diff drop bracket that drops the front mounting location 1-1/2":
The lowering bracket itself was relatively easy, but as has been clearly noted before, the upper frame bracket has a welded...
Unlike the hidden winch mount I built for our '22 Badlands with the Lux package, our '22 Wildtrak has the High package which means no adaptive cruise and the winch could be mounted between the frame rails where it belongs (y)
The previous owner of this WT had already installed a DV8 front...
Selling some stuff off of a '22 Wildtrak we just picked up:

Just like the title says, brand new just received about 3 weeks ago and never opened the box from J-Tops... Got an offer we couldn't refuse on the Bronco so it went down the road with a few brand new uninstalled parts sitting in the garage :rolleyes: $275, located in Richland/Pasco/Kennewick...
Anyone have any insight on where out of towners can park trucks/trailers during a stint in the Sand Hollow/Hurricane Utah area? I know Moab has several places that cater to this sort of thing, but it's our first time to Sand Hollow... Appreciate any ideas!
After living with my first draft for a couple of months, it became apparent that the 3/4" tube I used was a little too small and was hard on the hands. Plus, I wasn't entirely happy with the lazy route I had taken in the overall design, and wanted something a little cleaner looking. For this...

Nowhere near as much snow as we'd hoped given the winter storms that have been rolling through the region the past couple of weeks, but it sure beats sitting home on the couch anyway (y)
Took our first trip with the Midland MXT115 installed, and was disappointed to find that I'm getting feedback from my yellow bumper-mounted LED's. The LED's are wired to Aux 2, and the Midland is wired directly to the battery. Also get feedback from the ARB compressor, which is wired to Aux...
Yes this is essentially a knock-off of any of the commercially available solutions, but those also come with the "stupid tax" applied and at the end of the day, I was able to pull this off at a price point that is commensurate with what these really are; a couple ratchet straps and some scrap iron:
I'm old and fat, and when Ford targeted the JL Wrangler platform as a direct competitor, they missed what is perhaps the single most important thing for old and fat guys like me... a proper grab handle to hoist myself in and out of the darn thing :( I get the side curtain airbags are for...
