    Is this a red-flag: broken frame welded together

    From those pictures it looks like the frame was spray painted. Could be no big deal, but if I was buying I’d be curious about what they were trying to cover.

    Johnny Joint squeaking question

    I installed eight of the Savvy double-adjustable short arms on my 05 LJ two years ago. I don't normally drive the Jeep much in the winter, due to the heavy use of magnesium chloride on the roads in my area. This year, however, the winter was extremely light so I've been driving it more. I've...

    Weird intermittent bucking issue when applying gas from a stop

    There is a well known PCM issue that causes shifting oddities with the 05/06 42rle transmissions. No fix from Jeep, but @Wranglerfix has solved it with their PCMs. It’d be worth a conversation with them to see if your problem is something they can fix.

    Floor mat / liner comparison and review

    Yes those are the liners. I bought them from Quadratec because they were $80.99 last week. Looks like they've gone back up though: https://www.quadratec.com/products/14154_XX_PG.htm There are 693 ratings, 2%, or about 14 are 1 star. Two of those were from the same guy claiming they "exceeded...

    Floor mat / liner comparison and review

    I agree the BedRug material seems slicker than factory carpet. The spikes on these Huskys are pretty aggressive. Currently no movement at all with driver or passenger side. No retention clip on either.

    Floor mat / liner comparison and review

    I will say about the WeatherTechs that I've had: they fit well and they were very durable. That's interesting. My WeatherTech knowledge might be out of date. I had a set in an early 2000's F150 and a mid 2000's Toyota Matrix about 10 years ago, plus we had some in my wife's late 2000's Nissan...

    Floor mat / liner comparison and review

    I have been using the Rugged Ridge liners front and rear for about 3 years. Previous owner bed-lined the tub, I also have Bedrug carpet on top of that. At the time I purchased the mats they were recommended in several posts in this forum, and had generally positive reviews elsewhere. The rears...

    Tummy tuck plates, why so costly?

    I don't think anyone renamed "under armor" or skid plate to tummy tuck. Tummy tuck refers specifically to the process of increasing ground clearance at the belly. Just so happens that on the TJ the stock skid plate is the low hanging fruit. Tummy tuck is the term most people use to describe the...

    Got some JK front seats put in. Passenger side was pretty straight forward with mounting, basically bolted straight on with some new bolt holes and a bit of grinding. Had to relocate the tumble feature to the other side of the seat - in principle it works the same between the TJ and JK, except...

    Bored? What's That Noise (Dual Edition)

    I had a loose control arm bolt once that sounded a lot like that.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    One seat down two to go. Replacing the front seats with seats from a 2010 JK. Also adding seat warmers. Reused the TJ base - a bit of grinding and some new bolt holes needed, but overall not too bad. I was able to retain fold and tumble - it goes 80-90% as far forward as before. The limiting...

    Oh I see what you're saying. Misread that initially. Yes I should have put in the caveat - recommendations I've seen (from folks who are in a position to give good advice). Thanks again for the suggestions on this project, and for sharing so much knowledge in these forums. I've learned a lot...

    Definitely wasn't my intention to bend you over. It seems like you're saying I'd be better off with the BBK?
