I went Icon Rebound Pros because they are street legal. Have not had any issues with them. I’ve only been on a few trips, but 3 days on the Rubicon was one of them.

Those are 12v auto-reset circuit breakers.

Awesome. I would identify the source of the leak before jumping into an oil pan gasket replacement. Many things above it could be contributing to the drops you are seeing. Looks good

I bought mine from Rockauto. Went with the Leland Global, but they have some less expensive options: Is your shroud still in place?

My spindles were the same condition. I found these to be a very high quality replacement: Front Axle Spindle With Bushing & Bearing - Fits 8x/450/105 Series Applications (FA60080AFT) -...

It takes a long time to bring a battery that dead back up. The voltage being over 14v makes me think your alternator is doing the best it can with such a depleted battery. Best thing would be to put a charger on the battery and see if it recovers.

Hang a big bumper and tire carrier off the back end. Maybe add a can carrier? High lift? Fridge in the back? It can come at you quick! I raised my front because my springs were crusty, and now that i’ve accessorized a bit it’s time to get some rear springs as my back is just a bit saggy...

I just finished installing the Pacific Coastal and regret not waiting for the 4x4 labs. Needed something faster, so…. yeah. I do like the heim joint spare carrier; it’s stout. The issues I had were with them sending me the wrong hardware - no jam nuts for the heims , instead they put nylocks...

Almost forgot- stopped by Cruiser Outfitters friday on the way home from work to grab a few parts and they had the perfect stickers to put on my wife’s Jeep! She was not as amused as I was about it…😝

Must be 30 year old cooling system season! Lots of us doing it. Of course, I’ve managed to snow ball this from a new radiator, water pump, stat and hoses; into new alternator, fuel filter, phh delete and more. Luckily the dealer is running a good discount for September on OEM parts. I had a...

How much is a less capable GX550 today? Ineos Grenadier? What options exist that are a better value for an all around adventure/offroad rig that will get you home and isn’t overly complex?? I just dumped about 3x what I paid for mine into it. Don’t plan to sell it, but I was tempted during the...

I know this is an older thread, but if you don’t need a double carden Tom Woods can now do 1350 ds for 80 series that have the 66x66mm pattern on both ends. It’s not up on the website as he’s not sure how to list it and not get folks confused.

Also need to thank the guy in the 80 (seen in background) at Buck Island for heckling my friend in the red Jeep properly on Heckle Hill! 😁 Also- I’m adding this into an edit as not to be a post hog. Man what a trip! Zero issues. I checked my steering stud nuts every morning and that was the...

40th Anniversary Collectors Edition #3749 has officially completed the Rubicon! What a great trip!
