    Been Thinking About Buying A TJ

    I have had seven wranglers.. I'll bet I've seen them all. Death wobble is more often caused by worn or loose parts. A properly installed complete lift could potentially reduce the likelihood of death wobble by replacing many of the aged & offending parts. How does a properly installed lift...

    Been Thinking About Buying A TJ

    So, just sayin.. You might want to say something between you first post and this one especially when it's directed at a new TJ owner. A statement like "When you lift it, repairs increase astronomically. And you risk totalling it too" on its own, is misleading and generally incorrect.

    WTB: ATP or CMM grab handles

    Before I drop the coin for new.. hoping someone has a set of the ATP or CMM loop style handles in black they want to get rid of.

    What's the best thing you've bought for your Jeep under $100?

    I do like the ATPs more than the CMMs. If I can find a set I would drill them and retrofit the CMM mirrors for doors. The ATPs in black are out of stock in most places and those that have them are priced really close to the CMMs. I was very happy with doors off mirrors permanently mounted on...

    What's the best thing you've bought for your Jeep under $100?

    Wish they were still available. I have the CMM grab handles in my cart for a while. Love the design but they won't qualify for mods under $100 but a stretch. That reminds me.. painted the white underside of the Bestop Trektop NX black. Made a HUGE different in appearance. I have to do the...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    ^^^ This. I had an intermittent variable voltage. Turned out to be the ground from the block to firewall. Tightened it and problem solved. I used the full Design Engineering kit and resolved the intermittent heat soak issue.

    What have you 3D printed for your TJ?

    I haven't. I use the Suunto & Garmin's primarily for back country navigation when backpacking. Haven't tried any of the Polar watches.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    The guy that did mine tucked the leather up under the trim pieces and glued it all in place. I never would have been able to get it as nice as he did

    What have you 3D printed for your TJ?

    I was a diehard Suunto user.. Had all of the Ambit line at one time or another. Then they f'd up the Suunto UI and I switched to Garmin. I've had the 3 Pro HR, the 5 Pro Max, the 6 Pro and just recently switched to the Epix Pro G2 Sapphire. All 51mm I still use the AW (had the S1, 3, 4 and...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I didn't trust my skills to get it perfect and since it would be in my hands virtually every day, I needed it to be perfect. I purchased a second wheel and had sent right to the guy that did the work. Chris @ LeatherGoods. Looks like his website is no longer around. He was great to work...

    Got me. I put them in a bucket weighted down with a brick. When that failed I added the bleach. Cro-magnon bugs

    What's the rest of the open area going to be? What Garmin are you using?

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    That sucks. I threw a great pair of hiking boots in the trash because they were infested. Walked through a nest of ticks or something. I tried everything.. bleach, Permethrin, soaked under water for a few days. Nothing worked.
