  • Anthracite Outdoors Adventure Area!

    I always try to have trail tools with me - as you said, when I remember! I do like the emergency ones as well. I've e-mailed my Product Team to see if we can carry them. It's such a great idea for those of us who wheel!


    Here are some videos for your enjoyment - filmed by my buddy:

    Quote from Slowpoke

    DeJA has been doing a lot more rides at AOAA lately--we like it! www.aoaatrails.com You did well to get through Upper Anthracite with lightly modified vehicles!


    Quote from Stafford

    @Quadratec you should look into Colby Valves. They save the day when it comes to trail/emergency valve stem replacements. @meeper you might want to get them in the catalog


    It's a great area for that! I need more skids for Upper Anthracite next time haha. I rocked the t-case crossmember real good, dented the oil pan (didn't go through), and dented the fuel skid.


    Already done!






    Like them so much that I e-mailed my Product Manager saying we should carry them.

  • Anthracite Outdoors Adventure Area!

    This was my second time at Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area - aka AOAA. I love it! It's similar to Rausch Creek (Which is also a great spot!), but it's larger. AOAA allows dirtbikes, UTV's, and ATV's, as well as Jeeps and full size vehicles. On this trip, we took some greens to some blue trails and also onto a blue/black called Upper Anthracite. This trail is basically water runoff from the mountain, so it's extremely slippery with some large rocks.


    Vehicles & Damage:


    -(Me) 1998 Jeep TJ (No lift, 32's, open front/rear, 3.07's) - Valve stem ripped apart, skid plates took some rock hits
    -2003 Jeep TJ (4" lift, 35's) - No damage
    -1990's Toyota 4-Runner - Skid plates damaged
    -2018 Toyota 4-Runner TRD - Skid plates damaged & bumper vs. tree scuffs

  • Quadratec LED Projector & Heated LED Projector Headlights by JW Speaker (For CJ, YJ, TJ, JK, XJ)!

    Quote from Stafford

    I might have to look into this. I have cheapo Amazon LEDs in the TJ, last winter I was driving in a storm and was scratching my head wondering why I couldn't see a gd thing. Pulled over and there was a ton of snow built up on the lenses of the headlights. Heaters would have fixed that. It's dangerous driving with non-heated LEDs in the snow.

    Sounds good! Our heated versions will definitely resolve any snow/ice on the headlight issues. If you would like a quote just let us know.


    Thanks & have a great night!

  • Quadratec LED Projector & Heated LED Projector Headlights by JW Speaker (For CJ, YJ, TJ, JK, XJ)!

    We are now offering a line of LED and heated LED headlights. These are Quadratec branded, made for us by JW Speaker. We offer regular LED or heated LED for CJ, YJ, TJ, JK and XJ applications.


    Here's the info on the JK version:




    "Our revolutionary Premium Heated High Performance 7” Round LED Headlights for your Wrangler JK are exclusively engineered for Quadratec by J.W. Speaker and offer Dual-Burn® high & low beam optics, giving drivers that ultimate punch of light they are looking for at night. Our unique heated Headlamps feature SmartHeat® with LED light sensors that automatically activate the heat elements at startup or as outside temperatures drop to freezing. Once any accumulated ice or snow has melted and the lights have met the high temperature threshold, the SmartHeat® grid system automatically shuts off. All Premium LED projector head lamps feature fully approved DOT markings, built in pulse width modulators to prevent flickering, and easy plug & play installation with no modifications required. Made in the USA."


    Dual-Burn® technology: works by keeping your low beam on while your high beam is on, providing the widespread visibility of the low beam along with the powerful long range punch of the high beams.

  • Went Kayaking with My Pup - Took the Jeep of Course

    Quote from Slimer

    Looks like he's enjoying it. He doesn't move around too much for the Kayak?

    Thanks! When we first started last year she would walk to the front, turn around, walk back to me, then stay in my face and whine. We have been out maybe 10 or so times since then. The more we go, the less she whines and the more she learns. This time, she just tried to get into the water right at launch. Then she was fine. As you can see from the photos, she still wanders the kayak depending on who/what is around us. *knock on wood* no close calls with capsizing thus far. She understands if she moves too much things get wobbly and she doesn't like that.

  • Went Kayaking with My Pup - Took the Jeep of Course

    We hit 84 degrees here in PA on Saturday (Only 42 yesterday) so I decided to hit the lake with the pup. I normally put my kayak on my VW Golf TDI as I have a kayak rack. But, it was so nice yesterday I figured I'd just mount it to the sport bars. Worked great! This was also the first time using the Versa-Brella. I highly recommend it if you have a snow dog who enjoys being outside in warm weather. It does somewhat act as a sail/resistance trainer, so that's fun too.

  • new Jeep JL info released!

    Quote from Kuntryboy816

    Does that little cameo qualify you for the friends and family discount now?? :thumbup:


    Quote from whatevah

    He might know a guy or two for that one. ;)
    The diesel isn't coming until the 2019 model year, I believe it'll be added to production in August 2018. So, you'll have a little time to find a buyer for your current fleet. But, really... we know you can't keep a Jeep for more than a year. :santa:

    Even though I used to work for Jeep prior to Quadratec, I don't get my friends and family discount through that resource. As Jerry said, I know a guy ;)


    I could pick up a JLU in January or February ... then keep it until I order the JLU diesel late 2018, and trade it in for the diesel, right? As you said, I don't tend to keep my vehicles for a long time, whether by my choice or not - lol.

    One of the official videos from Jeep... at the 32 second mark, you'll see our @Quadratec forum rep make a muddy appearance in a TJ!

    I guess I need to sell my TJ and VW TDI to purchase a one of the diesel JLU's since I'm in the commercial, eh? haha.

  • Moab Easter Jeep Safari 2017 - Day 3 Photo Recap (Video too!)

    On Day 3 we were headed to Poison Spider with a stop at some Native American writing on the way. Unfortunately Poison Spider was reserved for one of the RR4W EJS rides. Due to this, we decided to check out dinosaur footprints at the entrance, then head to Metal Masher.


    Day: Tuesday, April 11th
    Trail: Metal Masher & Quadratec BBQ
    Rides: Rock Krawler, Smittybilt/G2/Poison Spyder/Rubicon Express


    Here is a video compilation I put together of the run. I ordered it as best as I can remember, though it may be a little out of order:

  • Moab Easter Jeep Safari 2017 - Day 2 Photo Recap

    On Day 2 I explored Pritchett Canyon, riding in the orange Smittybilt "Tactical JK". This was another 12 hour day for most, though several groups got mixed together and split up. We had one flop and several breaks.

  • Quadratec Jeeps & Java - Supporting Our Heroes

    We have had incredible turnouts for our first 2 of the season! 150-200+ Jeeps each time thus far. Looking forward to making our next one even bigger! We are also now accepting donations of canned goods for Preston & Steve's 93.3 WMMR Camp out for Hunger. Last year a Porsche club won. We're looking to have more Jeeps than Porsches and more tons of canned food!



    Here's a recap video from March:
