The engine lift saved from having to lower the radiater shroud to clear the fan with the body lift. A 2” spring lift is in the plans for 33” tires. Engine lift will hopefully negate a SYE with the spring lift.

Running JK Moab 17" wheels, 265/70/17 AT tires (31.6" diameter), 1 1/4" body lift and 1" JKS engine lift. Haven't had any issues except slight rubbing on sway bar at full lock. A couple of washers on the stops would solve that problem. stock without body lift. With Body Lift

Poke your fingers in every opening in the frame feeling for rust flakes and rough rusted areas. A borescope is a good idea to get a clear view of the frame internal rust. Drilling water drain holes at low spots on the frame will slow future rust invasion. Spray frame interior with non...

Deal on brand new, in box Harbor Freight transmission jack $75. Bought a transmission jack from Harbor Freight knowing I would need it to drop the fuel tank. Took me so long to get around to the tank that I forgot it and bought another one when they went on sale. Jack is in North Oceanside, CA...

Deal on brand new, in box Harbor Freight transmission jack $75. Bought a transmission jack from Harbor Freight knowing I would eventually need it to drop the fuel tank. Took so long for me to get to it that I forgot it and bought another one before rediscovering the old one. In the meantime...

Running 265/70/17, 31.6" tires with a 1 1/4" body lift and stock suspension. Haven't tried flexing off road but no problem with speed bumps taken too fast. Still running with 3.73 gears, 42RLE and easily live with Freeway and all around performance. Drive conservatively trying to maximize the...

Inherited a SunRun Lease when we bought the house. Supposedly the PO's son was a salesman for them and put in an over spec'd system with battery. We were selling electricity back to SDGE at a great discount to the benefit of the utility. Had a $500 bill for gas heating and water for one month...

Running JK 17" wheels with 265/70/17 tires. Like the 16" factory wheel set back but couldn't find any at a reasonable price and the limited tire sizes caused me to lose interest. Found the JK wheels with tires and adapters for way less than asking price for the factory 16" bare rims. Photo is...

Where's PETA when you need them. Thought all the Richies had downgraded to fleece.

an earlier Post about the Barnett Dana 30 cover: "Hey Peter. As of now we are building stock of the covers to start production in the next few months. When they come available I will contact you." Received a later Post saying I was on the wait list and they'd contact me when available...

A rough estimate from the wear marks on your shock casings looks like your shocks may not be too long, If the shock has compression that isn't marked as a wear pattern on the case, you may be okay which could be if the full articulation seldom happened in the past. Put the shocks back on and...

The ARB front bumper protects the fenders and allows better approach angles than stock positioned bumpers. ARB stuff is designed for true Roo protection which makes them heavy but hell for stout. They also require surgery to use with Anti-Rock sway bar. Would've bought one if it wasn't for...

You take a performance hit if my generator experience carries over to the 4.0. Propane doesn't contain as much energy as gasoline. Does burn clean leaving the combustion chamber looking almost like new after more than 500 hours run time.

Any products that will brighten up the grey flares on an '05 LJ?? Most products seem to be for black flares so might as well paint them if that is the best restoration.

Don’t like the looks of 35” tires on 15” rims. Looks like you’ve running on marshmallows. Scored a set of 17” JK Moab’s with adapters and 31.6” AT tires with life left in them. Might have gone with 16” TJ Moab’s because of the deeper back spacing and no adapters for but the ones I found...
