New Atlas 4 speed transfer case from Advance Adapters

Advance Adapters has just announced that the Atlas 4sp transfercase has arrived. Often, a two speed transfercase can be geared either too high or too low when in low range. For instance, a 4:1 gear reduction might be great for trail riding or rock crawling, but too low for sand and mud. High range is too high, too. What Advance Adapters has done is taken their proven Atlas 2 speed transfercase and added a splitter behind it, giving 4 gears to choose from. The ratios can vary, but the current prototype has gear reductions of 1:1, 2.72:1, 3.8:1 and a really low 10.3:1. This will give you plenty of gearing options when wheeling your Jeep. One drawback of the case though is that it is too long to work in flat-fender models and CJ5's. But for a CJ7, Wrangler, or other longer Jeep models it should work well.

Jeep Tent for Wrangler, Liberty and Grand Cherokee

Now this is pretty cool! JeepWorld has a Jeep tent available for the Jeep Wrangler, Liberty, and Grand Cherokee. I'm sure that this tent would also adapt easily to other Jeep models and years. The tent is designed to fit directly on the rear of the vehicle to provide more space in the tent and easy access to the interior of the vehicle. I suppose in really cold weather you could even run the heater? (probably not recommended) The tent has a rain fly, overhead storage net, inside pockets and a storage bag. It measures 10' x 10' and will stand alone in case the vehicle needs to be driven away from the campsite. What will they think of next?

2" and 3" Budget Lift Kits for Wrangler YJ, TJ



If you are like me, then there are times when you dream about lifting your Jeep sky-high to fit 36" tires with the best lift kit available. Of course, then reality sets in after you see the price of some of those lifts. Whats more, I remember how terrible my last lifted Jeep rode and the steering was awful. For a daily driver, a huge lift and tires are just not practical. With this in mind, Rocky Road Outfitters offers budget lift kits for Wrangler YJ and TJ including the Rubicon and Unlimited models. The kits are easy to install, retain the stock suspension, and don't screw up your ride and handling. Check them out!
