    WTB TJ Side Steps

    Keep in mind they changed the way the factory steps mount to the frame in 2001.

    WTB: Instatrunk

    I've got one taking up space in my garage that I no longer need. I will be back home in Pflugerville on Saturday afternoon, hate these long business trips. It has the flip up lid. I have a couple of pics on my phone I can text you if you want to PM your number. If not, I can load them on the...

    Does anyone know what this is?

    That is the passenger side front sway bar link. It will definitely affect handling. It should be attached just like the driver's side.

    Grind into 2nd gear

    I use nothing but Redline MT-90, my AX-15 has just over 245,000 miles on it and shifts almost as good as it did when new.

    Anybody else in High-Tech?

    36 years and counting in software design and development. Started on mainframes, moved to IBM midrange in the mid 80's. I have contracted with many companies across the country, currently on a contract in Austin, TX. There is still a need for us dinosaurs that speak COBOL and RPG.

    Jeep broken down, help! - FIXED!

    I have replaced the actuator pin on several other Jeeps with the same symptoms as the OP stated. It is a fairly easy fix that will hopefully get the TJ going. Let's see what happens once the part gets there.

    The old fuel is in his Subaru, not the Wrangler. Two separate issues.

    No Lift / Small Lift Suspension Help

    X2 on the H&R/Bilstein 5100s with 31 x 10.50s, also have the ZJ tie rod upgrade. Ended up with just over 1 inch of lift, did not need any more than that, mainly overland offroading.

    Smith & Wesson 500: The Gun That Has As Much Firepower As a Rifle

    Just trying to be funny, hence the quotes around the word perfect. The .500 is overkill for just about everything.

    Smith & Wesson 500: The Gun That Has As Much Firepower As a Rifle

    It's the "perfect" home defense weapon

    Is an AR rifle really ideal for home defense?

    If you choose a shotgun for home defense, you need to check the pattern with several different loads at a distance of 12 - 15 feet (average room size). You may be surprised how tight the pattern is at that distance. I prefer 45 acp, keep a 1911 and a Glock 30 nearby but also have a 12 gauge...
