Bushwacker JK Flat Fender Installation Write-Up

July 11th, 2010

Opening up your fenders and providing more clearance is by far the easiest ways to get your Jeep JK Wrangler sitting on top of much larger tires and without too much effort. And, while there are several options available to do this including trimming your factory fenders or installing a set of steel tube fenders, nothing I have seen to date compares to the new Flat Style Fender Flares made by Bushwacker.

Tuffy Security Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited
Security Deck Enclosure Installation Write-Up

May 13th, 2010

Tuffy Security Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Security Deck Enclosure Installation Write-Up Driving your Jeep JK Wrangler the way it was designed to be driven, both doorless and topless, is exhilarating, liberating and of course, a whole lot of fun. Unfortunately, driving your Jeep like this can also leave you with virtually no way to lock up and store valuable possessions if needed. Sure, you've got your glove box or center console but, even if they've been beefed up with a steel Tuffy Security solution, you're still limited to only small objects. What if you have something big you need to lock up - maybe something that can only fit in the trunk area of your Jeep? Fortunately for us, Tuffy Security has an answer for that as well and it's with their JK Security Deck Enclosure.

Rancho Jeep JK Wrangler Rock Gear
Tube Doors Installation Write-Up

May 05th, 2010

In my opinion, what's a Jeep JK Wrangler good for if you aren't taking the top and doors off the minute it's warm enough to do so. I mean, it's a Jeep and they need to breath right? Now, I know there are some of you out there that feel a little uncomfortable riding around town or the highway without anything present to help keep you in or, maybe it's your significant other who feels this way. Whatever the case might be, what I would recommend is that you pick up a set of Rancho Rock Gear Tube Doors.

TeraFlex Quick Disconnect
JK Mud Flaps Installation Write-Up

April 17th, 2010

For those of you who don't know me, my white Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited is currently sitting on top of exceptionally large 40x15.50 Toyo Mud Terrain Tires. And, after having been pulled over twice for not having any mud flaps (a requirement here in the state of California), the 2nd time resulting in a fix-it ticket, I realized that something needed to be done. Obviously, installing a set of mud flaps was the answer but from what I have personally seen on other rigs wearing a set, off-roading with them on will get them torn off in a hurry. What I needed was a set of mud flaps that could be worn on pavement and removed quickly when I was ready to hit the trail and fortuantely, TeraFlex makes exactly what I needed.

If you've been a manual transmission driver most of your life and now that you have an automatic, don't know what to do with your left foot, or, if you're just looking for a more comfortable way to rest your foot and help brace yourself on technical descents, Mountain Off Road Enterprises has got the answer for you - a Dead Pedal.

COP4X4 Jeep JK Wrangler Cargo Nack

September 14th, 2009

Running doorless and topless is always great fun but when it comes to loading up your Jeep JK Wrangler with family, a dog, a ton of camping and recovery gear, it can be somewhat of a problem. Heck, even if you can get all your gear loaded up, keeping it all in on the highway and on the trail without it falling out or blowing away can require some creative packing. And for me, that's why I decided to get a COP4X4 Cargo Nack.

Mastercraft Baja RS Suspension Seats
Jeep JK Wrangler Installation Write-up

Jeep JK Wrangler Factory Fender Chop

February 11th, 2009

Even after installing a tall suspension lift, fender rub is a common problem that many Jeep owners suffer from especially if you're running wide tires and/or have wheels with very little backspacing. Now, the easy answer to fixing this problem would be to install taller bump stop extensions, add more suspension lift or maybe install a body lift. However, by going higher, you also raise your Jeep's center of gravity and that isn't going to do a whole lot to help you out on the trail. So, what is one to do? I say, chop your fenders!

M.O.R.E. 1" Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Body Lift
Installation Write-Up

May 29th, 2008

Even though I have a Full Traction 4" Ultimate suspension lift on my Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited, I found that my 37x13.50 Toyo M/T's were still causing some minor rubbing of the fenders at a full stuff. Of course, having a heavy PUREJEEP bumper with WARN PowerPlant winch up front and an extremely heavy PUREJEEP rear bumper tire carrier on the rear didn't do a whole lot to keep my Jeep sitting at 4" of lift. Needless to say, all I really needed to eliminate the rubbing I had was about an inch of clearance between my tires and fenders and that's why I decided to install a 1" body lift from Mountain Off-Road Enterprises or M.O.R.E. for short.

Project-JK Decal Application Write-Up

May 01st, 2008

Although the application of vinyl decals is pretty straight forward and easy to do, getting them on right, positioned correctly and without any wrinkles or bubbles the first time around can be somewhat tricky. That is, unless you know how to do it right. Granted, I have no doubts that there are a plethora of different ways to apply decals, but this method has always worked for me and the easy to follow step by step instructions below should help you get yours on without any fuss. Of course, this write-up is for the application of the Project-JK logo decal, it will also work for any decal that you apply on your Jeep JK Wrangler.

Affordable Jeep JK Wrangler Grab Handles

June 22nd, 2007

With all the improvements and additions that have been designed into the all new Jeep JK Wrangler, I really am surprised that a decent set of overhead grab handles weren't included in the design. For the most part, this is no big deal as there are plenty of good aftermarket solutions for the front passengers like the velcro grab handles that MasterCraft makes but with the sound bar being located where it is, finding a good solution for the rear has been a bit tougher.
