Living The Jeep Lifestyle

Follow along as we install a locking differential in a pair of front and rear Dana 44 axles on a Jeep Wrangler YJ. We install the Zip Locker from Yukon Gear & Axle and utilize the Jet Pack from the folks over at Power Tank to engage the lockers.

We needed to put a bit of a facelift on a well used Polaris RMK 800 so we grabbed a wrap from Arctic FX and wrapped this sled in the War Hawk. If you've ever wondered what it takes ot wrap a sled, hopefully this will give you some insight. The process was easy and we have since used a couple of other wraps from different companies and by FAR recommend the Arctic FX over others. The material is forgiving yet tough, it is workable and the coverage is superior to the other brands we installed.

It happens, when you play hard things have a tendency to break. Sure enough, while in Moab we had a hub fail early on in the day and had the frustration of not having a locked front end when we needed it most! We opted to upgrade to the Yukon Hardcore locking hub for a multitude of reasons but foremost. If or when they fail, they fail in the engaged position allowing you to get out of what ever bind one may find themselves in.

Our older Fc-150 was having fuel issues and we had swapped about everything from the fuel tank forward so it was time to look at replacing instead of once again rebuilding the carb. The fine folks over at Omix-ADA took care of us and hooked us up with a Solex carb for the task.
