I'd like to make a picket fence area for my small dog, Holly. I'm considering different styles and considered using rough cut lumber for the pickets with pressure treated 4x4 posts and cross members. Can anyone offer insight or advice on this? Thanks.

Found this pic of Cindy's first vehicle, a 1978 CJ-7. She bought it back in the early 80's just as we started dating. We had it through a lot of years and great times but couldn't keep the rust away. Riding shotgun in this pic is Tasha.

Can you identify the make and model of this car? A friend is trying to identify it. The car belonged to his grandparents.

Just picked up a hard top for my ‘97 SE. My buddy had an ’06 with both tops. I had tried to buy the hard top from him several times because he didn’t use it and my soft top was torn. He called me recently and said I could have the hard top for free. His ’06 had been in an accident and totaled...

Thanks for the write up. I have issues with both fenders and will need to address them in the future.

@Chris should this be moved to the tool thread

This is Holly, our new French Bulldog pup. She's two months old now and has fit right in at the house. Our Labrador Retriever was also named Holly and she's been gone almost five years now. We downsized last year and finally started looking for a pup. When we had picked her out we sent a...

Agreed. I added them a few years back. One of my favorite mods.

I've got the same issue with the driver's side seat foam. I just saw this video on YouTube and thought I'd pass it along. I might try a repair before replacing the seats.

Just adding my two cents. I only drive a few thousand miles a year and change my oil once a year. I know that I could go longer between changes but on that day I will spend some time going through the rest of the vehicle to check all of the fluids, belts, hoses etc. to make sure they are intact...

I'm picking up a hard top soon for my '97. The top comes from a 2005. Will I need to remove the rubber seal, I think it's called a windshield channel, to secure the hard top? I won't be using the soft top anymore. You can see it on this pic. It's lifting slightly in the center. Thanks.

I bought a clock spring from Crown Auto about a year ago. I installed it and haven't had any issues with it.

I replaced the windshield frame on my '97 a few years back. I used a metric tap to clean out the threads on the new frame after fighting with it a bit.

The Jeep Gods when I thought I'd be all set after replacing the clock spring, alternator, belt and battery.
