Found these cool red foot pegs online. They are made by a company called Steinjager (pronounced stineyawger). Easy to install. Easy to remove – sad face.
The Jeep Has Gone Soft
I have always admired the look of the slant back top on a Jeep. The slant back hard top that I love is priced over $3000, so I am opting for a Bestop Trektop NX Slant Back soft top with SunRider. The SunRider feature allows the front portion of the top to be folded back […]
Where’s the Beef?!
The factory Alpine sub in the Jeep is nothing less than a joke for any bass. I decided I wanted to try something a little different while keeping the factory sub panel intact. I went with the Rockford Fosgate 8 inch marine grade subwooofer and a 150 watt Fosgate monoblock amp. The install was easy […]
Plastic Fenders… Nah
Time for some metal splash catchers! I decided to get rid of the factory plastic fenders and go with a set of Barricade Tubular fenders from Extreme Terrain. The factory fenders were surprisingly easy to remove with just a few bolts in the front and plastic clips for front and rear. Cleaned up the grime […]
Time for Some Front Armor
Today was an exciting day! Brown Santa brought me lots of goodies including a new front bumper and skid plate from Body Armor 4×4, and lights from Auxbeam. Now for the fun! The Bulldog winch had to be removed from the bumper tray. The original Hard Rock front bumper was removed. The new steel front […]
The Jeep Needs a ‘Growl’
Well the stock exhaust was sounding more like an electric car, so I added a Gibson Performance – Metal Mulisha axle back exhaust system. The Gibson exhaust is dual tipped with black ceramic coating. The 5 inch exhaust tips give it a nice low tone. I can already see these tips will have to come […]
Out With the Rock Hard Bumper, In with a DV8
Well this was a tough choice that took all of about 3 days to make. I decided the original Jeep Hard Rock factory bumpers were not going to hang around. I decided to add a DV8 Rear Bumper with a swing out tire carrier. This meant taking off the spare and removing the original tire […]
First Change… A Steering Stabilizer
The Jeep wasn’t handling that great with the Fuel 20 inch wheels and the Federal Couragia 35×12.5 tires so I decided I would try a Rough Country Dual Steering Stabilizer. The install was pretty straight forward. The hardest part of the change was getting the original steering stabilizer tie rod bracket off the tie rod. […]
When Jeep Becomes Reality
Today is the day that I became a proud member of the Jeep family! Hunted down this sexy 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock from Goodson Acura in Hurst. Time to have some fun. Let’s see where this adventure takes us…
