Nestled in the beautiful Rockies is a new start-up company aptly named Pikes Peak Trailers, complete with a stunning view of the Peak just feet away from the shop. Started by Dave and Jen Williams Pikes Peak Trailers solves the problem that most 4x4 and especially Jeep owners have, complete lack of cargo space. The first prototype which is featured in some photographs was built to provide cargo room on multiple cross country adventures done by the couple. After thousands of grueling highway and offroad miles friends and locals started inquiring about getting one made and the concept was born to create a company to offer them. Dave contacted me several months ago with his product and I instantly liked it. As a CJ owner space on trail rides is a luxury I lack so having a light weight ca

The WTF-J's bare aluminum tub floor wasn't getting it anymore and needed something. I got an $800 quote from Line-X for lining the tub, but that was contingent on: 1. Stripping EVERYTHING out of the tub 2. Priming it with self-etching primer 3. Hauling it to their shop and leaving it 'til they got a round tuit Since I was going to have to tape and mask the tub to spray the primer, it was time to look at DIY options.

YUKON ZIP LOCKER INSTALL By Wayne Hartwig - www.alljeep.com The Yukon Zip Locker is a new to the market air actuated locker and contains forged 4320 side gears. This locker is going into a Jeep Cherokee Dana 44 rear end. I’m going to cover everything from start to finish as well as go inside the locker to show you what they look like. I’m also going to be using my 2 car garage to show that with the proper tools, you can install this yourself. Everyone’s gotta learn at some time, right? And if you are one of those guys that working on his own rig is a requirement, then here you go! Of course, if you’re the other kind of guy that just doesn’t have the patience or correct tools, your local off-road shop can install them as well. While this is not difficult work, it does require some patie

Brief Explanation: This is a step by step with pictures on how to install the factory fog lights on a 2005-2009 Grand Cherokee (WK). The instructions from the factory are very vague and don't go into very good detail.

This will be a writeup on how to trim factory style flares or flares of similar material.I have 7 inch factory style flares.This will be the flares used in the writeup. The flares are quite pliable and pretty easy to work with.If they were made of a harder material(cough!!Bushwacker!!)then this method will probably not work. Anyways,on to the the writeup.

Like so many others, I have searched for a good solution for the speedo problem. What I came up with is a little different than what others have used that I have read about.

So my air compressor install has been done for a few months now and operating exactly how I wanted it to. Now I'm going to try to remember everything I did and where I got all the parts from.

Total Time For Install - 1 hour 30 minutes approx. Installed on - 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport Tools Used - 16mm socket and ratchet, 22mm socket Materials Needed - C-Rok support brace, 3 steering box bolts, 1 - 9/16" Grade 8 nylock nut and bolt, 3 - 5/8" dia. spacers Notes: I did not take the tire off to do this project. With my tirmmed fenders and lift, it was no problem to get to the bolts. Here is what the kit came with, (minus the bolts, so just the spacer and the metal cylindrical spacers, not pictured) 1) Here is what I started with: Remove the three steering box bolts. CAREFULLY, otherwise they will snap and it will make this project much longer. Ask me how i know! 2) Once bolts are taken off, pop off the spacer that sits between the unibody and steering
