Full Traction Suspension 6" Long Arm Lift Kit
05/16/06
Unlike any other kit I have seen to date, what drew me to the Full Traction Suspension Long Arm Lift Kit was its true 4-link front end design (as opposed to radius arms like so many other manufacturers use today) and its awesome tri-link rear end design that effectively eliminates the need for a rear track bar. Also, having seen this kit up close and in person at the 2005 SEMA show, I knew that the materials used, quality of the welds, level of detail, craftsmanship and finish were all unsurpassed by anything else out there. Add all that to the fact this lift is a completely bolt on kit, I was sold. |

Off Road Only SwayLOC
Dual Rate Anti-Sway Bar System
09/23/05
Over the years, I have owned and used several different makes of sway bar link disconnects. All of them did their job well enough and some better than others. However, all of them also had their share of drawbacks too like needing to be on level ground in order to disconnect and reconnect the links. Or, the mushy unstable feel they give when your Jeep is on off-camber sections of a trail. One solution I had seriously considered was to install a Currie Anti-Rock system on my Jeep, but the thought of a single rate anti-sway bar that was more geared for the trail than the road made me shy away from it. That's when I came across the Off Road Only SwayLOC dual rate anti-sway bar system. |

Nth Degree Mobility Quicksilver
Sway Bar Disconnects
07/11/05
After lifting my Jeep for the 3rd time, my old JKS Quicker Disconnects were just a little too short for my application and no longer usable. When I started to look around for a new set to replace them, I came across the Nth Degree Mobility Quicksilver Sway Bar Disconnects. What attracted me most about these discos were the fact that they had no loose parts to deal with and best of all, they are designed to be able to reconnect anywhere including uneven surfaces!! |

10/23/03

I needed to do this lift, I actually got for FREE. The rest
of the parts I found in the "Used" forums and a few
I bought new.
Update 09/27/03 - One month later
review and I replace my BDS shocks for a set of Doetsch Tech
DT8000's. |

JKS
Swaybar Quick Disconnects
05/06/03
Disconnecting your swaybar is a great way to increase the amount
of axle articulation you have on your Jeep (vertical wheel travel).
This helps you to keep all four of your tires on the ground
in very rough and uneven terrain. In my humble opinion, JKS
makes one of the highest quality and easiest to use quick disconnects
around. |

Skid
Row Engine Skid Plate
05/14/03
I would be the first to admit that buying something mundane
like a skid plate can be pretty hard to do especially when you
are trying to save up for a new lift and/or bigger tires. However,
protecting the vital underside of your Jeep should be top on
your list. Along with your gastank, your oil pan is grossly
exposed to the rocks and needs to be protected. I chose this
skid plate because it came highly recommended by those who own
one, it's affordability and ease to install. Everything bolts
right up and no drilling is required.

The fan drive viscous clutch (or fan clutch for short) is a silicon fluid filled coupling with a bimetallic coil that is attached to your Jeep's fan. When working properly, the fan clutch will react to the heat discharging from you radiator by spinning faster or slower depending on the cooling needs of your engine. Need I say, it is critical that your Jeep's fan clutch is in proper working order to prevent over heating. |

Adapters Slip Yoke Eliminator (AA SYE)
& CV Drive Shaft Installation on a Jeep TJ
02/13/05
Whenever you lift a Jeep TJ above 2" (and sometimes even
just 2"), your drive line will be off enough to cause what
is known as drive line vibrations or "vibes" for short.
Because of this, most lift kits will include a transfer case
skid plate lowering kit to help restore your drive lines back
to or at least closer to stock. For the most part, this will
do the trick but then you have to ask yourself, do I really
want to lower the very part of my Jeep that I just spent a boat

on the trails is to air your tires down. Lower air pressure
will allow your tires to have a greater foot print which will
give you a lot more traction on sand, snow and rocks. The only
real problem with this is that once you get back on pavement,
you will need to air them back up. When you're riding on tires
31 inches or taller, filling each one back up to 30±
psi from 10 psi can take forever. That's why I choose to invest
in a Quick Air 2. |

Although I am
confident that LoD will deliver and manufacture a bolt on Hi-Lift
Jack mount in the near future, I got impatient waiting and decided

Hardware store and about $10 later, I had all the parts I needed
to make my very own homemade Hi-Lift Jack mount for my LoD bumper
tire-carrier. |
