We decide a new look for the jeepfan.com CJ-5 was in order. To start we are returning to a classic CJ look by installing a set of US Mags Indy U101 Wheels. These modern wheels are near identical to the slots found on 70’s era CJ’s (see right) but are like…new. Finding original CJ slots …
If you have wheeled with a YJ or TJ and have had the pleasure of the gifts a Dana 35 can offer you will recognize this picture. That moment when you realize that one side of your Jeep’s rear axle has decided to go in a different direction. The truth about is is that the …
Continuing on from the HD Hinged Carrier installation part of our $3K JK we are now at the point of installing the Teraflex Adjustable Tire Mount. There are a few options here and depending on your installation you may need to proceed differently. Both kits come with a few spacers that are used in different applications. …
First a bit of review of our $3K JK Project and where we have been. We installed a lift, wheel spacers, and 35″ tires on the Jeep and our next step is getting the 35″ spare mounted properly to the back of the Jeep. A 35″ may fit on the stock carrier depending on the wheel but without …
Just for a nice Friday picture here is a 1971 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade II. Equipped with the loved aluminum slots running 33×10.50 BFG Mud Terrains and a 225 V6. This was the last year a removable top Jeep would see a V6 until the 2007 Wrangler. In addition this was the last year of the …

We’ve used the Duratrac on other jeepfan.com …
Parked next to an old beater TJ this morning. The pic says it all. Someone please rescue this TJ and give it the lift and tires it deserves! The Wrangler TJ was built from 1997 until 2006. It was the first Wrangler to run front a rear coil springs instead of leaf springs. This new …
The next step in the $3K JK Project is to install a set of wheel spacers to prepare for the larger tires. We have decided to use the 315/70R17 (35″) Goodyear Duratrac tires on our JK with the beautiful stock Hard Rock wheels. Side note, heard these wheels called the Rubicon snow flake? The JK …
In the Teraflex 2.5″ Budget Boost Install we did as part of the $3K JK Project we decided to add to the lift by adding a set of Teraflex Forged Adjustable Track Bars to the front and rear of our JK. Teraflex says they are 230% stronger than stock and just handling them you can feel the …
If you have a 2011 to 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK and plan on lifting it you will need to deal with the front brake lines. In 2011 Jeep added a bracket that attaches to the bottom of the spring perch just in front of the bottom shock mount. This bracket is useful to keep the …
