When heading off-road, common practice is to release some air from each tire to lower your tire pressure. Known as “airing-down,” this process increases the tire’s contact patch with the ground, providing more traction on rough terrain. When it’s time to go home, you “air-up” and return your tires to their proper on-road working pressure.
In case you haven’t heard…there’s an all-new Jeep Wrangler in town. Dubbed the JL, this new Jeep is the latest off-roader to wear the Wrangler nameplate. Though it’s still got that “new Jeep” smell, Tuff Country‘s already got a lift kit for it. Tuff Country’s new EZ-Ride 2″ lift kit gives you enough room to
To “bed-in” a winch means to ensure the cable is properly wound around the winch drum. Why is that important? If your cable or rope isn’t wound correctly, the part of the cable under the most tension can bury into the cable that’s already wound around the drum. Off-roaders call this “bird nesting,” and it
The annual Easter Jeep Safari is a big deal in the off-road world. So big in fact, that many off-road companies use the event to unveil their newest gear—and Jeep always takes center stage with a fleet of one-off, custom concept vehicles. These off-roaders are usually Jeep design studies and won’t see showroom floors. Elements

Science class 101: Water and oil don’t mix. That can be bad news for a vehicle. Whether you’re fording a river or splashing through puddles on your commute, it’s important to ensure water doesn’t get where it isn’t supposed to. The off-road gurus at ARB know a thing or two about plowing through streams and mudholes,
A parking lot is a parking lot—unless it’s the Summit Racing parking lot. On any given day or time, the lot outside a Summit Racing store can turn into an impromptu mini car show, depending on who’s stopped by the store. On Wednesday, we often share a notable parking lot find—another benefit of being powered by
We love the simple purity Instagram provides as a tool for capturing life and sharing it with the world. This week, the OnAllCylinders editorial staff browsed your Instagram posts (#offroad). We are sharing photos we liked, stories that moved or amused us, and others simply because we liked the truck or off-road machines in the images. It’s
[portfolio_slideshow id=34060] An off-road New Mexico vacation in a camping trailer designed for Jeep and Chevrolet S10 pickups provided the evidence: the trailer desperately needed more stability on the rough terrain and truck’s rear bumper needed raised. The trailer needed shocks and more height. The curved design of the original bumper would sometimes dig into
Before we wrap up the wildly popular OnAllCylinders Winter Games with our closing ceremonies, we’re proud to bring you the biathlon. It totally makes sense.
