    Am I running the wrong psi?

    I did some searching but have come up empty. Could use some help. Bought my TJ a few years ago and it came with a 3” lift and some wrangler duratrac 285/70r17 D rating. I drove it home on I-90 and was bouncing all over. When I checked the psi the previous owner had it set to 35. Lowered it to...

    Trim Renew (Anybody ever try this?)

    I’ve used ceramic coating on my plastic with great results. Latest example. Notice the interior door handle and how faded it is? Ceramic coated in the 2nd image.

    I bought a cheap set on amazon and an extra master actuator for my 2nd set of doors. Came wired for 4 doors and a trunk. Might try to put one in the tailgate and just removed the wires I didn’t need. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MDLUTPC/?tag=wranglerorg-20

    Who has the best TJ?

    Went digging thru my pictures and this is the only one I have of it so far. Bought it back in June. Already was set up but the previous owner was not the sharpest tool in the shed for some of the mods so I’ve been fixing it. Bought it because the frame was in great shape and only one rust hole...

    useless is in the eye of the beholder. I think hi-lift jacks are useless but don’t comment on it every time I see one.

    Finished installing the automatic door locks today.
