    Pennsylvania Metalcloak Double Adjustable Control Arms

    Shown in the picture is a BRAND new set of rear double adjustable control arms. They have never been used or out on a vehicle. Absolutely nothing wrong with them. $500 for the set of rears. I also have a full set for the front that are currently on the Jeep but I will pull them if...

    My day is complete

    It doesn't matter...EVs will be a bust unless a new power source is developed. The weak link is a limited supply of lithium to make the batteries currently in use. That's why Tesla has invested so much in its own factories and procuring lithium supplies to support future production. With all...

    What have you 3D printed for your TJ?

    I bet that's how the angry bird grill was invented...someone holed up in their dark basement with a 3-D printer while withdrawing from meth?

    Is it worth replacing engine in 06 TJ?

    Replacing the engine for those reasons is the equivalent of amputating your foot because of an ingrown toenail. Those issues are not severe and relatively common. That engine has a lot of life left in it and none of those issues are motor related. Any TJ owner is dealing with an older...

    What has happened to Quadratec?

    Bottom line it's a mess for everyone right now and small businesses in particular are being hit exceptionally hard. I am an steadfast supporter of local small businesses and the hits they are taking are tremendous. It's not one issue over another. It's a combination of them all. Restaurants...

    What has happened to Quadratec?

    Quadratic There's a couple of guys in the local group that work for Quadratec as the company is located in the region. From what is posted, shipping issues are the most common cause for the delays. Seems that they get their products from just a few distributors and to keep costs down, a...

    Seat Cover Reccommendations?

    I have a set from Iggee. You can't beat the value. They look and fit great. Had them for 2 years now and they have been great. They don't get hot in the sun...fine in the winter. Clean up really easy.

    Need some help with 3 fixes

    You'll get used to frozen nuts and bolts. Start with the penetrating methods the others notes. Always good to treat them a few days or a week before a project if you know they are rusted. You can always try using heat in areas that are safe to do so. Being in the Northeast inevitably there...

    Doesn't Everyone Need a Jeep Like This?

    Gotta give the dude credit...coolest post office jeep I've seen! Wouldn't want to see it happen to a TJ...but that setup works.

    What are you guys running for audio setups?

    I went with the @Chris setup except I used a JVC marine receiver that cost $120 instead...I'd need to look for the specific model. I was really surprised...the sound is great without dumping a lot of dough for the system. You gotta crank it a little on the highway speeds...but still great with...

    Duroflex vs Johnny Joints...again

    I think I should update my profile. I have a set of double adjustable MCs...I should state that I actually won them on a $10 raffle ticket! If I actually had to buy myself, would go with the JJ. I tend to listen to advice from people such as @mrblaine. They deal with this stuff more in a...

    Help me (and other new members) learn from your mistakes

    1.) Best advice is first to drive it for 6 months if you never owned a jeep before. Take it on some trails even if stock and see if wheeling will be a thing for you. Daily drive it for a while to figure it out and see if there are any kinks to work out. It seems the first thing a newbie...

    Opinions on Mammoth 8 wheels

    Price and looks. I just think it a classic look that looks well on just about anything. I don't like an all black wheel but the faux silver beadlock I think is a nice touch to offset all the black. Personally I didn't like the polished inside edge of the Mammoths. I scored a great deal on 5...

    Opinions on Mammoth 8 wheels

    Here's the MT..more of an oval than the circles and the hub area is all black.
