    Oregon Rugged Ridge 4.75 in. Pocket Fenders.

    I purchased these and changed vehicles before I could install them. I have the set of four with new welting and stainless steel hardware also. They are currently for sale at Extreme Terrain for $329 for further detail. These are better quality than some I looked at with a 5 year fade guarantee...

    Adventures in outsmarting oneself, or why being cute just because you can, is not a good thing.

    That was a great post Mr. Blaine. It made me think some of my repair efforts aren't as as unusual as I thought, although I can complicate an oil change. Hal on Malcolm in the Middle describes me perfectly. Imagine my wife shaking her head in agreement, but I do eventually get the jobs done. I...

    Advice from RV owners out there?

    You might look into a lazy daze. I've had a 92 model and now an 05. I tow my jeep fine with it. Mine is 27 ft. It drives like a car and hasn't had any serious issues . Our 92 had 140,000 on it and spent a week towing thru Utah the last summer trip. We only sold it because we thought it was...

    PCM transmission problem

    With my transmission it was as if it went from second to first and back to second gear? For an instant it was like someone put the brakes on. After a mile or two the problem would disappear. This sounds like the same problem you had. I'll be very happy if I can do this reset every year of so...

    PCM transmission problem

    I actually just bought some bartact seat covers since I saved on a transmission repair. Flawed logic but oh well. My wife went for it so it must make good financial sense? My wife is rarely wrong after all :0) I’m lucky it seems to have worked out. I do have an honest transmission shop I’ve...

    PCM transmission problem

    I have 2006 Unlimited Rubicon with an a/t. Recently it started to shift awkwardly from first to second. I went with a good cleaning and fluid change. My A/T guy said he was reading two codes related to transmission temperature. He indicated I needed a new computer and he was only finding new...

    Most Beautiful Jeep ever?

    At the risk of being obvious.............most of that variation in color is from someone using a dual action sander to remove paint, leaving bare metal. The blue green is plastic (Bondo) filler. The look is an attempt to get it ready to paint. I love the Jeep but he/she should have left it alone...

    My personal nirvana!

    I think the switches are pretty easy to come by but they quit making the harness.

    My personal nirvana!

    I need the rocker switches for the rear defrost and the rear wiper. I have the functioning locker switch. I'm not a regular FB user but I'm going to look Dee D. up. Thanks

    My personal nirvana!

    Wow! There's hope. I've spent way too much time looking for parts. I should have just asked the question earlier. I'll check this out. I have steel cable so that's a few more lbs. on the front end. Maybe I have an excuse to get synthetic line? I'll have to allow time for my wife to absorb that I...

    My personal nirvana!

    I've found a 2006 Unlimited Rubicon in near perfect condition. I have a couple of questions if someone could help. It has a Warn winch. Is there enough extra weight from a winch to affect suspension? It seems a little heavy in the front end but it could be my imagination. The other thing is it...

    What are these?

    I just used those flat head screws to mount lights on the right and left windshield pillar-posts. I had to get longer ones to replace stock. Pretty sure that's them.

    Drawtite hitch receiver

    No luck so far, but no big deal. I may try Craigslist when I get around to it. I'm to busy having fun this summer. Just went camping for 4 days and planning the next one. I had a lot of fun with the grand kids. They think gpa has all the big toys!
