Teraflex 2Low231 Kit
This kit will free up the front axle for better steering while keeping your low range. Now you can choose between either 4 Low or 2 Low. The 2Low231 kit provides a mechanical disconnect for the front and rear output shafts while in the neutral shift position, thus allowing for a "true neutral".

Step_On_It! Rock Protection & Step
If you do enough four wheeling and like your Jeep's body intact, you will eventually need rocker protection. At the same time, as lift kits or larger tires are added to a rig, it becomes increasingly more difficult to get into and out of without pulling a groin muscle. The Step_ON_It! Rocker guard addresses both of these issues.

Ultimate Jeep Dana 30: Warn Hub Conversion
Ron Hollatz, in his quest for the ultimate Dana 30, upgrades the front axle using the Warn Hub conversion kit. The hub conversion kit allows newer YJs and TJs to have manual locking hubs.

Drive Shaft Basics
There are many subtle things about a drive shaft and the conditions it operates in that will greatly effect how well the drive shaft performs. These subtle variables may have a profound impact upon the life of the drive shaft components, the amount of vibration the driveshaft produces, and whether or not the drive shaft is even capable of meeting your vehicles specific requirements.

Rock Crawler's Dream Exhaust
The Rockcrawlers dream exhaust system uses unique routing to achieve performance without sacrificing ground and driveshaft clearance. This system can apply to any domestic make or model 4x4. Jeep, Chevy, Ford and Dodge can all have the Dreampipe type of system. The vehicle for this article is a 77 CJ7, with a 360 cid AMC engine.

Minute Mods

CJ Spring Hanger Ramps
Are you tired of getting hung up on your CJ's spring hangers? Spring hanger ramps can help you slide over those big rock steps.
Grand Cherokee CB Installation
Installing a CB in your Grand Cherokee is easy and very rewarding.
CJ Shock Tower Drains
I recently found and resolved a potential rust area on the front frame rails of my 1983 Jeep CJ7. An area that is often over looked as a collection point for dirt, mud and grime is between the front shock towers and the frame rail.

Rock Monkey Rubicon Video Review
Rock Monkey Videos has produced a video that really shows the Rubicon as it is. This is one of the few videos I've seen that accurately portrayed the true nature of the trail.
