Wow those look like really nice seats! Why would you want to replace them with factory seats? (especially 20+ year old stock seats)

It's a nice photoshop job, but pretty unrealistic if you start to consider where the driver and passenger would actually sit in the cab, their legs and butts specifically would be in the suspension. Not to mention that both driver and passenger would have to enter from the second row, since...

Wow - $150 million and all the Jeep designer could come up with is matching the 7 slots in the grill? Why couldn't he at least design a vent that did not flood the cabin with rainwater when a few leaves clogged the drain???

Strange - this article on JP's web publication makes no mention of it closing, and the article was dated Monday 12/16/19 !! https://www.fourwheeler.com/news/features/1912-how-jp-magazine-got-started-number-one-jeep-publication/

That unit sells for over $150 on Amazon, and it's got built-in SWR meter so you can tune it correctly. It is a bigger unit than those hide-away models like Cobra - but heck it's FREE! Get the antenna mount mentioned by Tscott and a good Firestick tuneable antenna and you're good to go!

My '99 has the 32RH and I have P,R,N,D,2,1 gears. Is your Tuffy console preventing the shifter from going all the way down to 1st?

In response to your original question - I would add a huge air compressor and tank so you can power air tools & refill tires on the trail. And lights - lots of lights for recovery at night!! Such an awesome rig - nice work!!! 👍

Thanks for the great decorating idea! Our club started doing a "Toy Run" last year to donate toys to children with cancer, (Jacobs Heart) and we gave prizes to the best decorated vehicles. Here's a link to my photo album of the event if you want to check it out...

That's a great idea with the windshield sunshade! I've been using a couple of those 2'x2' foam squares that lock together like puzzles, keep them under the tool bag in the back and you can connect them together to make a 2'x4' pad.

That's aftermarket, looks like Rusty's Off-road brand.

Maybe this has already been checked, but could the rear calipers be causing the issue by not applying the pressure evenly, if at all?

I was in a situation on a steep climb, on rocks, when my rear passenger tire slipped off the rock and down into a deep hole, which caused the weight to shift and the front of my Jeep to rise in the air. I nearly flipped backward and had literally a second to make a decision what to do. First...

Following, I'm interested in the AW4 swap as well. I'm tired of hitting 3k rpms doing 60mph on the Freeway. My good friend who is a mechanic at Chrysler dealership said you would want to get a trans from the same model year as your TJ so you would have less issues with potential mis-match of...

It could be worse...
