VIDEO HIGHLIGHT: 35 Jeep JK Wrangler’s
Rocketing Across the Desert

January 24, 2011 wayoflife 4

Approximately 60 miles east of Barstow, there is a nice wide valley situated between the Cady and Bristol Mountains. Within this valley, there lies nice long playa known as the Broadwell Dry Lake that measures approximately 4 miles long and 1.5 miles wide. On January 22, 2011, 35 Jeep JK Wranglers from JK-Forum.com came out to visit this ancient lake bed and for kicks, took some time out to rocket across it at speeds exceeding 80 MPH. With dust plumes streaming from our tires like contrails bleeding from the wings of jet aircraft, the scene was absolutely surreal and one to remember. I know this may seem silly to some but, I hope you enjoy this short film highlighting the fun we had.

Rock Krawler JK Heavy Duty Deep Sump
Automatic Transmission Pan Installation Write-Up

January 18, 2011 Cindy 1
While the Jeep JK Wrangler comes with great skid plate right from the factory that actually does a job of protecting your 42RLE Automatic Transmission, it does have a way of getting in the way of your drive shaft if you have a 3″ or taller lift installed. Because of this problem, there are a lot of people choose to remove this skid plate but, by doing this, you leave the thin transmission sump pan dangerously exposed to rocks. For those of you who have a long arm kit installed on your JK, removing your transmission skid plate is a requirement. So, what is one to do? Well for me, I decided to get a Rock Krawler heavy duty replacement deep sump transmission pan.
