Fab Fours Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited
Body Mounted Rock Sliders

September 29, 2008 Cindy 8
When it comes to protecting the sides of your Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited, few rocker guards offer the heavy duty strength and style the way FabFours rock sliders do. These form fitted rock sliders mount directly to the body and offer more than just serious protection from the rocks but also a unique and stylish look.

Structurally reinforced and designed to be tied into the body mounts of your Jeep JK Wrangler, the Fab Fours rock sliders extend out to the edge of your fender flares and wrap all the way underneath the body in a smooth flat plane. This design effectively helps to keep rocks and trees away from the side of your Jeep’s body, allow you to slide cleanly over obstacles and it even does a great job of acting as a convenient step.

Project-JK Sidewinder & Bronco Peak Trail Run

September 16, 2008 wayoflife 7

Back in December of last year, a member of JK-Forum.com started a thread that showed photos of him doing a run up Bronco Peak in his new Jeep JK Wrangler 2-Door Sahara. At the time, he was riding on little more than a budget boost and 33″ tires and although he was able to make it through with some effort, it was his belief that it simply couldn’t be done in a 4-Door Unlimited. Of course, upon hearing this, I knew Bronco Peak was a run that I would have to do in my Rubicon Unlimited and do as soon as I could. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be until last weekend that I would finally get my chance but I am glad that I finally did.

Northridge4x4 Jeep JK Wrangler
EVO Front Axle Reinforcement Package

September 12, 2008 wayoflife 5

If you’re riding around on 35″ tires or bigger and love to play hard on them, axle strenght is something you should keep in mind and I’m not just talking about the shafts here. What a lot of us have been seeing is that over time, the small front axle C’s start to bend back and this will give your wheels what essentially is more camber. Of course, this added camber not only looks incorrect, it will cause uneven tire wear and will effect the way your Jeep handles. So, what should one do to prevent this from occuring? Pick up a set of Off Road Evolution EVO C2 Front Axle Gussest! The EVO C2 gussets are affordable and can easily be welded on to your JK’s front axle by any qualified welder. Installed, they will be all that you need to prevent the bending of your axle C’s and as an added bonus, they’ll even make your axle look a hell of a lot meaner too.

LoD Jeep JK Wrangler Signature Series Shorty Front Winch Bumper Installation Write-Up

September 7, 2008 Cindy 8
While a true ‘stubby’ or ‘shorty’ front winch bumper is something that many people would love to have on their Jeep JK Wrangler, the drawbacks of what to do with the factory fog lights has been enough of a deterrent to get most looking at other alternatives. Specifically, mounting a winch down between the frame rails on most aftermarket stubby front bumpers would require you to remove the factory fog lights or force you to buy a wider ‘mid-width’ style bumper so that you could relocate the lights to the outside of the frame rails.
However, with the introduction of the new and stylishly designed LoD Signature Series JK Shorty Front Winch Bumper, you can now have the bumper you really want and keep your fog lights too.
