    Pulling the trigger on the Superlift

    Hell yeah I am man. Just because it's been over a decade doesn't mean I don't like checking up on old friends! It's a good "dude". Happy to see she's still going stong. Pretty sure my Ex is rotting in a yard by now. :(

    Pulling the trigger on the Superlift

    If it makes you feel any better, they treat us XK (and WK) guys the same way. I know a guy who waited over 6 months for his superlift before cancelling the order :(

    Pulling the trigger on the Superlift

    You're making me reconsider my offer to help install your new lift :scratch:

    Pulling the trigger on the Superlift

    There are more "intended" purposes than just mud. Snow, beach, trails... and "because thats what i want ;)"

    Pulling the trigger on the Superlift

    Roger that man, I don't screw around in the mud anymore either. I don't go in the pines anymore and when I go to Rausch I keep it on the trails, stay out of the mud pits.

    Pulling the trigger on the Superlift

    Ah i was close, it was snoranger (kevin). He lives around the corner and his daughter is about the same age as my son. You'd think we'd see each other a bit more but I think this dude is almost as busy as i am :confused: Had to find his cummins thread...

    Pulling the trigger on the Superlift

    Would love to get out for a beer but its hard for me to get away.... I have 3 kids now (all currently under that age of 4) and trying to finish my masters degree (night classes after work). BUT if you're ever up for heading out to Jackson, I always have beer in the fridge. And since I no...

    2011 Durango vs. Explorer "Tug Of War" Commercial

    It's not two different beasts... the Durango is a direct competitor to the Explorer. The BEST engine the Explorer comes with is a V6. So it IS a fair test ...albeit the "test" in general is BS in this case... point is, there's nothing wrong with comparing a V8 against a V6 if the "best" the...

    2011 Durango vs. Explorer "Tug Of War" Commercial

    That's actually a really good point... you're definitely not going to win over the crossover-SUV demographic bragging about towing power. I very much doubt "towing" is on the top of the lists for people purchasing the new explorers... Definitely think that either way, this commercial is a...

    2011 Durango vs. Explorer "Tug Of War" Commercial

    Not for nothing... but that Dodge commercial is a joke. Lets see, the rear explorer wheels are rolling backwards and the front wheels are locked in position... clearly it's staged for advertising. (Not that i'd expect the explorer to beat a Hemi Durango anyways... but on that note, does Ford...

    4th gen off road capable or ????

    x3... i would love to see some pics! Here's one of my favorite pics from a member on my XK forum. Makes me want to move out West! :(

    4th gen off road capable or ????

    That is true... the brake assist in these new vehicles really do a good job. Hell, the QT2 equipped jeeps have open differentials and just use the brake assist to transfer power, and i've seen them tackle some very difficult obstacles. There have only been a few instances where i've seen a...

    Rancho Quicklift Loaded Review

    My buddy (also a tech FWIW) is running the loaded quicklifts all around and absolutely loves them. He also has a BL, so its a bit higher than just having the ranchos on there :D

    4th gen off road capable or ????

    I actually installed that type of diff on my silverado. While it worked extremely well, it still acts like an LSD when one wheel comes off the ground... power doesn't transfer to the other wheel. The QD-II system locks the axles together. On the street it acts as a variable LSD, and offroad...

    4th gen off road capable or ????

    Might also want to consider a 2005-2010 Grand Cherokee as an upgrade from your current one. Other than the JK Rubicons, there isn't a stock 4wd system that can touch the Quadra-Drive II available in the WK's. Not only does it have 4 wheel brake assist traction control (which in itself makes...

    RC/camping run June or July

    Yeah man... i've been lurking ever since having to get rid of the xploder. Blew up the engine while i was in college, then got a defective reman from Jasper which died on me 2 weeks after (bad timing chain guides). So i got the silverado and sold the X after i replaced the engine during winter...
