    You guys talked me into Milwaukee, so here we go

    This is correct. I have the M18 version and a buddy has the M12. The M18 is significantly faster. I usually do his 4th tire once mine are done. I am on 31" tires and can air up from 12/15 to 28psi about three times on a single 6Ah HO battery.

    PowerTrax no-slip install question (to shim or not to shim?)

    I have been using this long weekend to do some upgrades on the Jeep. 1st was to install a PowerTrax No-Slip in the front Dana 30.

    So, I picked up a 3D printer a couple of months ago and have been learning how to use it and trying my hand a 3D modeling. I am super new to all of this, but am having fun learning. The TJ always seems to be short on storage, so I made a small storage box that fits behind the roll bar at the...

    Your go to beer or liquor

    Michter's is my favorite, but pretty hard to find. I had a good day last week and scored two bottles (and a cheap box of 7.62x39).

    What's the 1 or 2 things you miss from the old days?

    Oh, I remember those, but the thread was about things I miss. VHS sucked. I don't even miss the DVD, just the experience of going to the rental store and browsing them to find one to watch that night.

    Show me your fire extinguisher mount

    I copied Jerry, but I have the big boy brackets, so I could only fit a 2.5lb extingusher. It sits on top of the hump instead of in front of it.

    Windshield washer squirters for 2000 TJ

    I went through this process a couple years ago. I could not find any new version that fit the hood, so I ended up getting a used one off eBay. I think they refer to them as "Early" TJ hoods. Like this one...
