    Build Advice

    I have an 05 TJ and my wife, in a momentary lapse of reason, hit a tree with it. I had ALMOST gotten it built like I wanted it... It has 68k miles on it. The frame is bent, front shock is broken, there's damage to the steering components, and the bags are deployed. My question is, should I keep...

    Suspension / tire opinions

    Hey, sorry about the delay in answering. Life gets real from time to time on a farm... You weren't exactly the voice of reason, with the sockets and driveway comment! I rolled your words around in my brain the whole time I was working. I have plenty of driveway (1/4 mile) and a 24x40 shop that...

    Hey... Thanks for the advice! You turned my head from the hype to the real deal. I'm new to the Jeep building thing, and, like most folks, can get my head turned by the flash and pretty. You probably saved me several hundred bucks. I joined the Forum because I've been learning so much stuff and...

    Suspension / tire opinions

    I have an 05 TJ that is my daily door slammer. After an accident, I decided to build it a little. I'm looking at 15x8 wheels with 31x10.5 tires, a 2" Terraflex body lift, Terraflex shocks and springs. Is that a good combination? What else should I be adding to make it right for both road and...

    Frame ground spots

    Thanks. I'm about to go install the ground, now. It's the one thing keeping me from putting the rest of the interior in. LOL

    Frame ground spots

    Has anyone mounted an amp in their center console? If so, where did you find a frame ground spot? I'm new to this and just want to do it right the first time.
