I have this up for sale and it's been modified. This soundbar came with a woofer, midrange and a tweet. I replaced the factory woofer and tweeter with a set of Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 components. I'm using the internal crossover of the soundbar and it works great but I still have the actual crossovers for the set i'll throw in. I paid almost $400 for this set of components back in the day but they sound just as good as they did the day I bought them. I also fixed some cracks that were in the plastic enclosure and filled it with poly to help reproduce the bass and get rid of any rattles. It may look rough on the edges but it sounds amazing especially if you plan on hooking it up to an amp, it will really make this thing bump. I'm sure this will fit a stock cj/yj/tj cage without any problems. It also has an integrated dome light so just hook that to a constant power source and your good to go for dome lights in the Jeep which I no longer have :(. Selling on CL for $75 but $60 to VJC. Again it looks a little rough but works perfectly fine and comes with the wiring harness. Pretty much plug and play!

Hit me up with any questions, i'm located in Tempe.

This compressor is designed to be hard mounted, switched from inside the vehicle, and operate one or two air lockers.

It could also conceivably be used for tire inflation but, at 1.17CFM, it would take several minutes to fill up a tire. You could use it for tire inflation only or activation of air lockers plus tire inflation though if that's just what you want to do.

Dimensions are 6.9" x 6.7" x 6.7" and it weighs about 10 lbs.

It's several years old but works perfectly, every time. I got a new ARB for my front axle which came with a new compressor, otherwise I wouldn't be replacing it.

This is for the compressor / tank only. I will not be able to provide the wiring harness or any of the other accessories that originally came with the unit, but will provide schematics and a list of required materials if needed in the event you're not just swapping it for another already installed compressor.

Available on or after Wednesday 5/29....

$80 OBO. PM me.

Here it is in my rig:



Here are some photos of this model compressor set up in various configurations in different rigs / diagrams, etc....

I'd like to welcome our latest small business sponsor; Fenom Fab. Their webpage is located at http://www.fenomfab.com. Their business is primarily centered around a CNC plasma table. They can make custom parts either by your design or they can design it for you... They can handle all job sizes within their table size (48" x 48"). According to Jason (the AZVJC member formerly known as 94whyj), they are close to completing a design on a JK bumper that will be for sale shortly. In addition, they also do custom work (sliders, roll cages, etc.) and have Jeep parts for sale on their website.

I imagine that Jason will be posting up shortly. Please take a moment and welcome him... like a number of our sponsors, he is a member who is working to make is small business successful. I hope we can send him enough business to keep him in the black.

By the way... I looked at their webpage and I can't tell exactly what side of town his home business is on... I'm sure he will tell us shortly.

One XJ D30 long side shaft with the larger ujoint (shaft is out of a '95 or newer XJ)


All have Spicer joints of varying ages. Two of them are only a few months old.

All include inner / outer.

All are stock 27 spline.

All will fit in either a YJ, TJ or XJ Dana 30 axle.

$50 each


The pair with the larger Ujoints would be a great cheap upgrade for a YJ owner with stock shafts. The larger ujoints are stronger, and the long side shaft gives you the ability to do a CAD delete (the front axle Central Axle Disconnect vacuum operated shift motor / fork / collar system) so you don't have to rely the old vacuum system to engage / disengage 4wd.

Otherwise, all are great as trail spares.

PM me if you want one, two, or all of them. They are available on or after Wednesday of next week.

For Immediate Release:

The Streak continues with a double podium finish in Cedar City, Utah

MESA, AZ May 20, 2013 LetzRoll Offroad Racing continues their podium streak for 2013 with a double podium finish at the Cedar City, Utah Dirt Riot on May 12th. Andrew McLaughlin and Tim Ray took 2nd place in the #4493 ESAB / Yukon Gear and Axle car while Alan Johnson and Mike Bradley took 3rd place in the #4511 HigherGRound4x4 / Pit Bull Tires car. LetzRoll Offroad Racing has fielded cars 8 different times in the 2013 Dirt Riot season and they have been on the podium in every single one of those events.

“This has been one of the most fun trips to date. Besides the Ice cream stops, visit to new shops, and bathroom breaks we had a absolute blast!” said Andrew McLaughlin, #4493 driver of record and owner of LetzRoll Offroad. “After Tim and I embarked on a 6-mile,1500 ft. elevation change hike of the racecourse, we were left with a lot of questions. As part of the BLM agreement for this race, not a single car was able to pre-run beyond just a parade lap. After Qualifying we did not feel great. We had to take 2 back ups and even though we felt like we were “over driving”, we still had a fast enough time to start #2. Ironically that is where we would finish. But not after some HARD work.”



“Race day was full of the unexpected. Losing fuel pressure at the start of the second lap we quickly figured out the problem and switched over to our back up electrical system. That cost us nearly 10 minutes and put us at the very back of the pack. With our consistent lap times and focused driving we began to pick up placement throughout the rest of the race. Our Pit team did a great job keeping us in the car informed of where we were and what we needed to do. With all this info we battled our way back to 2nd place for a strong finish. Great race!” concluded Andrew.




The #4511 HigherGround4x4.com / Pit Bull Tires car also had a good day, finishing 3rd and staying competitive in the national points race with the last few races of the year becoming the deciding events. “I had the pleasure to race with Mike Bradley as my navigator for this race.” Said Alan Johnson, owner and driver of the #4511. “Mike raced the Everyman Challenge with Shawn Passmore this year and we have wheeled together, but he and I have never had any seat time together until race day. Mike called the course like a pro. We were in the mix the entire race with the pro-mod field passing each other back and forth all day long in a very competitive race. The course was an awesome mix of tight turns, high-speed sections, and a fantastic road jump that was as much for us as it was for the spectators!"




The trip up to Cedar City, Utah from Phoenix, Arizona was filled with fun and adventure, but also included stops at the Vegas 4x4 & Offroad shop and a visit with Larry Nickell at his new location. Visit Vegas 4x4 & Offroad online at https://www.facebook.com/Vegas4x4OffRoad. The team also stopped and visited with desert racing legend Dean Bullock at his shop (D & P Performance) in Cedar City. Dean also competed in the W.E.Rock rock crawling event on Saturday and raced his UTV in the Dirt Riot event on Sunday.

LetzRoll Offroad Racing has cars in all three classes of the Ultra4 and Dirt Riot series, including two 2012 Dirt Riot National Championships. The distinctive yellow and black ESAB Welding / Yukon Gear and Axle #4493, finished in the top 20 of the grueling 2013 King of the Hammers Ultra4 race and is the current Dirt Riot Southwest Series points leader for 2013.
