Project Blue Bruin: Soft Top Saga
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/05/soft-saga.html
What is one of the best things about a jeep? But achieving jeep top nirvana is harder than it seems. When I purchased the Jeep at the dealer, I got the dual top option. I also got the Gobi Roof Rack, but I never considered how the two would work together. I had a big "DUH! Or so I thought. Here is what the Trek Top looks like with the part over the driver's cab rolled back:. The next product I have decided to try is the Offroad Heros. Photos, Maps, Descriptions.

Project Blue Bruin: Warn Powerplant HD - Combination Winch & Air Compressor
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/05/warn-powerplant-hd-combination-winch.html
Warn Powerplant HD - Combination Winch and Air Compressor. Sometimes things don't go the way you plan. This winch was one of those times. Come to find out that the winch was still in "research and development" and all these people were out there selling it like they had it sitting in their warehouse. Nobody seemed to think it was a problem to just keep giving you false arrival dates. Finally I decided to spend the extra money and get a product that was actually for sale! Back of the unit. A quality 4x4 S...

Project Blue Bruin: Rock Hard 4x4 3rd Brake Light
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/01/rock-hard-4x4-3rd-brake-light.html
Rock Hard 4x4 3rd Brake Light. In some states, a third brake light is legally required. I decided to add one for added visibility regardless of the law in Colorado. The light only costs about $15 from Quadratec.com. Here is the kit:. Once you pop off the red plastic lens, you can see that its just an incandescent light bulb and two power leads. The stock jeep wire harness used to plug into this spot on the back of the 3rd brake light. You can see that there were two pins. That's it, you are done!

Project Blue Bruin: HD Customs Rock Sliders
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/02/hd-customs-rock-sliders.html
HD Customs Rock Sliders. Want bulletproof custom sliders, welded to your frame for the cost of bolt-on's? I had him cut my pinch seam and cut back the stock rubicon sliders. As you can see, I left the stock rubicon sliders in place. I looked at a bunch of photos of this style slider and I felt it left an awkward gab between the slider and the bottom of the body tub. Besides, if my new sliders ever were to bend (which I thin is near impossible) the stock slider would provide additional support.

Project Blue Bruin: Shift Knob
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/04/shift-knob.html
The stock shift knob is a little boring. I probably won't keep this, but its fun to mess around with. To get the stock knob off, I took a 5/8" crescent wrench and put it under the knob around the shifter shaft. I took a rubber mallet and hit it up a few times, it popped right off. The jk shifter knob is not threaded. Photos, Maps, Descriptions. M416 Offroad Trailer Build. Rock Hard 4x4 3rd Brake Light. Expedition One Bumper and Tire Carrier.

Project Blue Bruin: Teraflex Kit Issues
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/04/teraflex-kit-issues.html
I love the 6" Elite LCG kit. It drives great on the road and performs great offroad. However, I've found some small problems. Anyway, here are the places the kit is rubbing. 1 Rear bump stop extension pad is rubbing track bar bracket bolt. 2 Driver's side rear sway bar arm is rubbing frame at full stuff. 3 The inner fender plastic is hitting the tire. I think this is what is making most the noise. I will be trimming these and getting rid of the fenders when I put on tube fenders. Vote For Me Here!

Project Blue Bruin: Superchips Flashpaq
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/05/superchips-flashpaq.html
Fix your speedometer after you lift. Get better gas mileage, more horsepower, trailer towing, etc. How much you speedometer will be "off" after a lift depends on what size tires came stock on your vehicle, what size tires you added, and what speed you are going. For me, going 65 on the highway was actually more like 75 or 80mph! Photos, Maps, Descriptions. M416 Offroad Trailer Build. Rock Hard 4x4 3rd Brake Light. Expedition One Bumper and Tire Carrier.

Project Blue Bruin: Spidertrax Wheel Spacers
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/04/spidertrax-wheel-spacers.html
Spidertrax spacers add 1.5" on each wheel to your axle width. The spacers are easy to install. I took it out for a test drive and it drives like normal. I found one of the pairs on Spidertrax's website on the "outlet" page. That's why the color of the two are different. You don't ever see these unless the wheel is off, so I'll take the discount!

Project Blue Bruin: Cobra 75 CB Radio
http://jkunlimitedrubicon.blogspot.com/2010/02/cobra-75-cb-radio.html
Cobra 75 CB Radio. Having a CB radio is a requirement for most jeep clubs. Its also useful for weather updates and if you get into trouble. The kit comes with a handheld unit that includes most of the normal functions that are in a larger traditional cb radio "box". You just need a small amp which can be located somewhere out of sight. I chose the location under the glove box. The cable comes out the back side of the tailgate here. There is a rubber stopper in this location that looks like this. Yukon 5&...
