We have been invited and are going stay by your computer for the action.
North American JK Experience
Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to go on a few organized hardcore Off Road Trail Adventures. I have had a blast on these events and thought it would be great to bring this kind of experience to the Jeep JK community.
Objective
This is an extreme event that is intended, by design, to be the most demanding and toughest JK only event EVER. I would like to get all the top Manufacturers of JK performance parts together and have them wheel their rigs. It will be an event that will PROMOTE the off-road and on road capabilities of your products and your JK. On the trail, expect very hardcore terrains and possible body damage. There will be camping three nights on the trail and you will need to be self sufficient (food, shelter and repair). This is going to be an EVO experience you will remember for a lifetime.
Minimum Vehicle Requirements
• 2007 or newer jeep wrangler
• Two people per JK
• 37s or bigger tires
• Full size spare tire
• Lockers front and rear
• Sport cage
• Winch
• 2 recovery points
• Fire extinguisher
• First Aid Kit
• CB radio
• Street legal ,registered
• NO TRAILERING VEHICLES DURING THE RUN!
General outline of the RUN
Dec.7-12
6 day event with 3 nights of camping and the 3 nights of hotels
This year we will be starting in El Paso, Texas and ending somewhere in the Mojave Desert.
There will be many difficult rock crawling trails, open desert running, sand dunes, along with on highway road traveling and other surprises.
Sponsors/Manufactures
This is a great opportunity for everyone. This event will be the most extreme JK run of its kind allowing you to showcase your best products and prove them off-road and on. This is not a competition but rather an extreme 4×4 adventure with other MFGs in the JK industry.
This is an open event for ANY manufacturer of JK performance parts that would wish to sponsor and participate in this event. It will be limited to 15 sponsors on the run.
You may bring any JK you would like. You are responsible for all your expenses on the run.
As a sponsor you will be able to do live updates to your websites, U tubes and 4×4 forums. These updates should be only about your companies participation in the event, trails ran that day and status of your vehicle. This event is intended to be great proving grounds for the Jeep JK and your products by testing your rig and skills to the Extreme. All sponsors on the run will be mandatory to attempt all obstacles on the trip at least 3 times before winching.
Invited Guest
We will be picking 3 avid JK off roaders to join us through a raffle on our web site. These lucky guests with their sick JKs will be given the opportunity to wheel with the manufactures of their favorite off-road parts wheeling there JK to the fullest extent while testing their driving skill and aftermarket parts.
KEEP A LOOK TO THE POSTS.

Adam's back from Katemcy Rocks' Memorial Day run. According to Adam Project CJ-Tube did not disappoint and the pictures here prove it. The event proved extremely popular with over 300 registered rigs and probably 1000+ people in attendance. There was music, BBQ, of course wheelin' and generally having a great time. From organization to building rigs, a lot of hard work goes into an event like this, and it's nice to see it all pay off.
With places called Wall of Terror and Back Breaker you know you're in for some fun...
Got Flex? CJ-Tube sure does...
Same shot - from the side with Adam, the builder/owner...

Cool rigs, big rocks and a day with friends - what could be better?

This JK Rubicon started out with a Supercharger on the 3.8l but now it's time for some horses the old fashioned way. Like the saying goes, there's no replacement for displacement! The 5.7l Hemi V8 will have good power across the band and should be a reliable mill for the long haul.
On the trailer, arriving at SLC: 
Unpacking the old motor, out with the old, and in with the new: 
Now start on the exhaust: 
We're nearing completion on this project and this is a great time to get the ball rolling on your conversion!

We have a customer that wanted a awesome roll cage for a K5 Blazer that he is restoring. Screamin Lizard Customs was the shop that got a chance to go towork on it. Adam and Gerry looked at it like an oppurtunity to do some new age fabwork to a classic 1970 K5 Blazer.

Adding HID Lights to Your JK:
Now your JK can have HIDs from Screamin Lizard Customs. I never appreciated HIDs until I really had a chance to use them. It's like the difference between a porch light and a night game in a professional stadium.
Oncomming, the difference is not substantial:
Next - a light cast on a bay door from a stock set of JK lights. It's full on daylight outside the covered service area here.
Next - the HID's - taken at the same time in the same conditions. More illuminated area and more visible detail in the areas lit.
Finally - 2 side by side comparisons.
We can get a conversion going for you - just give us a call at 800-591-8788.
