It seems like every group of people headed to the trails will ask what will be used as the primary method for communication while on trail. It seems like pretty soon we will just have a ZOOM meeting that everyone can join and talk away. But until cell coverage and ZOOM get caught up with […]

Mickey’s Stickies – Baja Boss X
I finally got me a set of trail stickies!!! Thanks to Christopher Olson at Discount Tire in Decatur, Texas for getting me on the production backorder list and landing me a set of MT Baja Boss X, 40×13.5-17 deliciousness!

Oh Yeah – Switch-Pros SP-9100 – Part 2
Ha! I almost forgot part two of the Switch-Pros SP-9100 install! With the dirty work wrapping up on the Jeep I took some time to get some accessory wiring knocked out. I cut all the battery cables to length and replaced the ends with heavy duty heat shrink crimped lugs. The supplied power cable for […]

Atlas 2 Speed Is Installed
Spent a day finishing the cable setup and fine tuning the Atlas 2 speed transfer case drive line alignment. Such an amazing piece of machined art, I almost hate to put it under my Jeep! It took a few reads to get the feel for the shift lever install. The instructions could use some fine […]

EVO Rubicon Sway Bar Air Actuator
I have been frustrated with the Rubicon electronic sway bar disconnect since I got my Jeep. The disconnect is unpredictable, and not convenient because it can change settings and you may not realize it. The Rubicon disconnect is controlled by the Jeep TIPM, which has rules of engagement for the sway bar. With my frustration, […]
JK E-brake Shoe Replace Tip
I hear of people complaining that their emergency brake is not holding well and they want to replace the e-brake shoes due to wear. If you get into this situation, I would like to offer a tip. This tip is more costly than simply replacing the brake shoes however the time saving and ease of […]
LT Swap – Update – Atlas
Well, the Atlas finally arrived and I had a chance to climb under the Jeep and get it clocked and test fitted. Let me first start by saying the Atlas Transfer Case swap is not a plug-n-go process. The Advance Adapter website says 8-10 hours to get the transfer case installed. Once you open the […]

LT Swap – Update – Power Steering
I spent a ton of time searching and comparing different power steering brackets and looking at ideas for the LT platform. Newer cars with the Chevy LT engine have electric steering. This is great if you are putting the engine back into a Chevy, but we are making a Jevy, and this Jevy needs a […]
