T he steering shaft on any 4-wheel drive takes a tremendous amount of stress off-road. If you abuse your off road vehicle as we abuse our Project CJ, your steering has an excessive amount of play in it. The stock Jeep shaft wears out quickly when used with big tires aired down for serious trail use. The common wear point …

A year or so ago we put the finishing touches on what we thought would be the strongest possible steering system we could build for our Jeep. Just when we thought that it was as strong as it could get along came Sam’s Off Road with two more super strength parts for our Jeep. Like the Super Heroes of our …

It was part of our plan all along – lift project Buckshot and shod it with some 35” tires and beadlock rims. We knew that project Buckshot would see quite a bit of street and highway driving as well as trail rides and hardcore rock crawling too. We also knew the final paint scheme for Project Buckshot (that’s a closely …

I’ve heard it said before, that wheels make the car. I couldn’t disagree more – I have always believed that a sweet exhaust note surpasses all other senses that a human can soak in, while admiring a fine piece of automotive machinery. Sure, the new-car smell is awesome. The feel of great bucket seats are great. The sight of a …

  Great off-road ability, decent street manners and safety were our main goals when we set out to build our project Jeep. Well, the off-road part we nailed almost dead on.

Unfortunately there is always some one around that remembers this guarantee you make, this rock solid fact, this foundation of stone you have set in place. One such person was our …

Yeah they look cool, and lots of people ask us: What do they do? Do they work? Are they worth it? Our answers always the same. For rockcrawlers like us, a beadlock wheel’s purpose is to keep the tire securely mounted to the rim during low air pressure driving. Basically a beadlock wheel starts life as a standard wheel (aluminum …

Thievery sucks… Having anything that you’ve worked hard for stolen is a horrible experience. Don’t be this guy… A simple hack saw or bolt cutters will get through this lock in nothing flat, and your rig’s only ride home will be well on its way to some chop shop. But having some things stolen can be worse than others. Example …

Gloves are an important safety aspect of every hobbyist’s tasks. They not only protect your hands from typical injuries like cuts and scrapes, but the appropriate gloves can protect you from burns, UV rays and more. For those of us who enjoy turning wrenches, a good set of gloves will offer a combination of dexterity, grip and protection. For those …

There’s an old adage… “A man is only as good as his tools”. And brother, ain’t that the truth. In my nearly 40 years on this earth, I’ve used good tools and I’ve used crap tools. Generally speaking, I try to stay away from the $5 bargain bin tools as they either fail me after a use or two, or …
