I am past 50 now. Been driving since I was 16 and only owned one auto for 5 years in that time; it was a beater city car I bought off my folks cause I lived in NYC area. I've actually never off-roaded an auto. That said, if I were to get a modern Jeep, I won't, but if I did, I'd get the...

I saved this photo, in case I do a full cage (don't have skills or the tools). I have the shop that would do it and want to show him what I am aiming for. Your work is as always super clean, well thought through and presents well.

Hi Rick, I also own the Metalcloak fenders and corners. The thing I hate the most is the cutout for the hinges on the corners. I twisted my tailgate a tiny bit when it didn't shut coming down off a ledge. Need to square it up still, but have you ever thought about beefing up the cutout...

Didn't Toximus do the bars through the dash on the A-pillars? His thread is here.

Not to derail the thread, but my grandfather had a poodle that would go to work with him everyday in the back of his pickup. He was a general contractor for housing and hotel developments in central California. She rode in the back of the truck for many years until one day she fell out when...

Factory door badge is really f-— hard to replace and they know it. Who is paying them? Ok, not conspiracy, what is the purpose of removing? [I can't prove, but I know for a fact it was there going in and not going out; it would be amazing if I could prove it]

I put my work on hold for the winter, as I knew I wouldn't drive the TJ, no need to pay $450/mo to insure it. But last year I was walked through my last attempt, and the app that they had on a tablet and told it was everywhere. I am going to try elsewhere obviously. I think they did more to...

"A good deal of our problems would go away if we were to simply start executing pedophiles." We are eliminating some in the Middle East right now, I think. --cheeky emoji--

So maybe it isn't widespread yet, but I think it is. The new inspections are centralized and the local inspector has a tablet with a specific app, and the local guy is basically showing the central guy some things live. That central inspector(s) is trying to get older cars off the streets (my...

Sorry to hear Wildman. I know the feeling. You will get it sorted I am sure.

I don't want to distract too much from zeindelf's welcoming, but I will say that TJuser is correct, in my personal experience that most Canadians are very kind and welcoming to Americans, even during all this strife. I am American, moved here for a job in 2011 and then stayed for the woman...

Preaching to the choir! I absolutely hate the nanny state institutionalization. I won't start because I won't stop the vitriol that will ensew.

P.S. yeah, the no drain holes in the frame is a real issue. One of the first things I did when I moved here is drill two decent sized holes (5/8" iirc or maybe 3/4") in the bottom of the frame just after the front control arm mounts and just before the rear ones. Then had to do it again when I...

By the way, welcome and nice to virtually meet you! I suggest, either becoming a member (iirc $50/year) or a "friend" (free) of the two biggest/most active clubs in Ontario, Central Ontario Offroad Jeep Club (COORJC, my first club and where I guide the most) and/or Central Ontario 4x4 (open to...

Toronto here as well. I am currently going through safety hell, it is not fun. Things that passed safety back when I imported this Jeep in '14 aren't passing safety now. E.g. daytime driving lights I didn't have to add back then, I do now. They are balking at my rear anti-rock instead of...
