    JL FiX-86 and TwK88

    I am gong to update my 2014 SCAB Sony system. I am going with an updated Sync 3. JL 5/900 amp, JL C5 speakers. I'll be using remote volume control and leaving the head unit at mid-range. DO I need a TwK88? I think the FiX-86 will solve the problem for correcting and integrating the stock...

    Road trip ahead: What do I bring?

    Waze won't help you on a rolling LEO. Valentine 1 always. LIDAR - you might get saved if in traffic, but most likely it will only let you know you have been tagged, too late to get legal. If tagged with LIDAR and your alone, just pull over. Took my 2014 SCAB from Norfolk VA to Yellowstone...

    GEN 2 Deavers +3 1-inch lift Something's not Right

    I had a similar issue with my 2014 deavers +3. Look at the shackle bolts. If they are installed from the wrong direction (bolt head on the wrong side - treads next to the frame) the the threaded portion of the bolt will catch on the frame rail and keep the spring from compressing.

    Inside Cab noise with S/C

    I've got a 2014 SCAB, 132000 miles, KO2s and trying to decide on JDM 700. Just finished a road trip from Newport News to Memphis and back (10 hour days). KM3s are annoying after 4 -5 hours. How loud is the S/C in cab? I will continue to put mileage of the SCAB until I cant find parts to...

    Best gear to pull cars out of snow banks?

    If you have to use a strap for recovering a vehicle the safest way is using a https://vikingoffroad.com/tow-rope/ or http://www.masterpull.com/7-8-super-yanker-kinetic-recovery-rope-28-500-lbs/ Used these 20 - 50 times and many many times in Iraq. They are amazing. But you have to make sure...

    Longest Warranty length and associated cost

    Look at the longest maintenance fluid schedule and get it for that length at least. One set of shocks, maybe a touchscreen, timing chain and gear, oil changes, filters and fluids, fan blower, seals and gaskets for doors,,,, it all adds up very quickly. Kept overnight gets a loaner... Tire...

    Scab vs Screw

    Gen 1 SCAB here. The looks are superior, wheel base and turning radius are better.... On some fire roads it is definitely more fun. If you get to a dead end and have to do a 7 point turn to get out it is doable, but a SCREW is a PITA! But the suicide doors on my 2014 do not seal as...
