    Steel half doors value?

    FYI, the TJ half doors fit snugly into the freedom top storage bags for the JK tops. This was nice for me to find out, i remebered i still had them after we traded the JK for a GX460. They are commonly found on FB Marketplace for very cheap, or free. The bags also have a carrying strap and are...

    Steel half doors value?

    I bought a pair of white OEM half doors last summer, they're in decent shape for $450 from a guy in Tucson who sold his Jeep. He even drove them up to Phoenix for me. I have seen prices range from $300 for rough ones to $1500 on ebay, but I wouldn't pay over $500-$600 for a set regardless of...

    Steering cooler mounts that don't fit with tolerances sloppier than your mom’s whisker biscuit, little bit of gay stuff also.

    Fun fact, 'Adel' clamps were invented in 1938, as a loop clamp that uses a rubber liner to mitigate vibration damage and chafing on wires, as well as hard lines for brakes and hydraulic systems in aircraft. They are still used today. What a hack job to be used for ~90 years.

    Right. I actually appreciate that parts that fit the CJ/YJ/TJ are often advertised as "universal fit" because the shit can be made to fit and we are the type to do it..

    Unfortunately boss this is common in the car mod scene as a whole and definitely true in the Jeep space. The fact is the newest TJ is 20 years old. We as a community are being forced to move away from the guaranteed fit and getting further into custom fab and community notes for modifications...

    Racing a Jeep?

    There was an entire offroad racing division dedicated to Jeep racing. It was called Jeepspeed, though from my understanding it is no longer functional. A "Jeep TJ Jeepspeed" Google search brings back some great results, heres my favorite.

    Discount Tire won't patch my 33, do I just buy 35's and start building?

    Okay so one vote for keeping the 33's and boring 2" lift. Everyone, boo Mac. I am going to price out the 35's wishlist i created sometime ago. I should need springs, shocks and control arms to start, but probably a new set of drive shafts as well. I do have the Currectlync steering and Dana 44...

    Discount Tire won't patch my 33, do I just buy 35's and start building?

    Hey guys i haven't posted here for awhile but thought id stop in and ask for opinions. My LJR is currently on an old, tired 2.5" spring lift w/ 1.25" BMB body lift and 285/75/16 (33") Toyo RT's on Moabs. I ran over a screw and punctured a tire. I tried to plug it myself (not an expert on that)...

    Pic request: winches on factory bumpers

    These are rear bumper endcaps, they fit on the front if you cut it straight. You can also buy endcaps that square off the sharp edge that is exposed when you remove the factory front endcaps. The winch guard is bolt-on and fits the factory bumper mounting holes. Heres a link. I did have to do...

    Any mystery to improving sound in a TJ?

    I have the Sony MEX-N5300BT and the Kicker 48CWRT672 and this setup works pretty well without an aftermarket amplifier. I bought these units thru Crutchfield with their open box sales, came out to $200 total. In the overhead pods, i stuffed 6.5" JBL GTO629 speakers, the dash has pioneer 5.25"...
