Prothane coil spring inserts are poor man's air bumps. They were fantastic on my XJ and I'll put them on my TJ when I go down to 4" springs. Takes a little bit to get them set up but it's worth it

Headline is true but misleading: He didn't die because he washed, he washed because he was dying.

Saw this demon-faced cloud on my drive home yesterday. The face was super clear to the eye, much more so than the picture.

you just like that for the factory grumper. OP: you'll probably be happier in the rav4. I suggest you get that, at least until you find yourself unable to go somewhere you want to go. Which is something that may or may not happen. I like going places that most people can't, at least not...

My 99 came with 6 inch lift springs and Bilstein 5100 shocks, and I'm looking to lower it a little bit. Let me know if you have 4 inch lift springs and want to go higher.

That explosion was surprising. Tannerite?

Made a couple whoopie slings from 1/8 UHMWPE I had laying around.

Yeah I only notice it when locked and high traction. I get by with just a little movement but would like it to be better. I'm hoping some 15x8, 4" bs will be a significant improvement. Hydro assist would be sweet but not needing it would be even better.

And here I thought it was just because I was on 35s! On a whim I decided to see what the backspacing of my wheels are. 3.5in. OK, not ideal but not uncommon. But these rims are 10", so the scrub radius would be like an 8" rim with 2.5" backspacing. Pretty sure that'd be a problem. I took...
