    What did you do to your TJ today?

    If you played CBs back in the day, I probably saw you. I grew up going there.

    Replacing spare tire carrier question

    So after taking the spare tire off, the welds on one of the studs broke so I got a used spare tire carrier in good condition to replace it and I was wondering if I should thread lock the bolts when installing it. Gotta love these random surprises!

    Suspension recommendations

    ok, thank you! I was under the impression that the Rubicon was 1" taller. The Currie springs are the leading contender right now. I have everything except the springs, shocks, and bump stops.

    Suspension recommendations

    Ok so I've been trying to figure this suspension build out and I've been reading up and using the FAQs (which are amazing), but I've come to a set of questions that I can't seem to figure out and was hoping for some advice. So the TJ is a Rubicon that a PO installed a 3" spacer lift on. I'm...

    What is this connector used for?
