    I just ordered the Healtech speedo healer for my '05 LJ Rubicon. Was surprised how easy it was to install and calibrate. It worked great

    I also have a hard top. And it works just fine with the hard top. Don't get me wrong, the 3 ft that gets the antenna a little above the roof has much better reception, but if you're within I will half mile a mile of other Jeeps, the 24-in antenna is fine

    I do have to make an adjustment to my original post, my 3 ft FS antenna was tuned. The 2 ft I had to adjust about 3/8 of an inch out on the tip. Also, my buddy found a spring at a gas station for 10 bucks that is about three times more stiff than the FS heavy duty spring. I did install that

    Wrangler TJ Gas Overflow Fix

    Love this. I made two small deviations from these instructions. I marked the bottom of the hose so i could easily see it was oriented correctly (bottom is easy to see vs. feeling the top), and i took the assembly out. it popped off the tank pretty easily when the filler neck was out and the...

    How to upgrade & replace your factory Jeep Wrangler TJ console subwoofer

    I went a little different route to not lose space and not spend much money - but the outcome was good! I have a 2005 LJ with factory amp in center console . I took out the crappy factory sub, cut out the lip that it sat in, and installed a Pioneer TS-SW2002D2 subwoofer. It fit nicely, and only...

    Factory subwoofer wiring

    I have a 2005 LJ with factory amp in center console . I took out the crappy factory sub, cut out the lip that it sat in, and installed a Pioneer TS-SW2002D2 subwoofer. It fit nicely, and only costs $70. Helps the sound out a lot, and fits in the center console of my LJ. Its a dual coil sub just...

    I started out with a firestick FS-3' antenna with a Firestick heavy duty spring on a stainless steel taillight mount bracket. You can't go offroading with this setup as the antenna whips too bad and beats up your top. Plus, the antenna hits when i pull into my 7' garage door. On my second...

    Where did you mount your extinguisher?

    It may not be a big deal, but most fire extinguisher manufacturers recommend keeping them dry so that they don't corrode or rust. How I use my Jeep, occasional water in the fire extinguisher area on the seats side would be a concern.

    Where did you mount your extinguisher?

    I was thinking about along side the seat as it fits so well and looks good. I was a little concerned about a side impact, and rain (often run half or no doors with a top on). Looks good though.

    Where did you mount your extinguisher?

    I chose to move mine from the front of the drivers seat, because on occasion I move the seat ahead for someone to get in the back. In my LJ, it fit well in front of the shifter. It's only a 2 pounder, but fits well. First Alert Fire Extinguisher | Car Fire Extinguisher, Red, AUTO5
