    TJ seat foam

    Man, I upgraded to '07 seats and Wet Okole seat covers a couple years ago because original foam was NLA and I didn't trust the local shops around me to make a quality replacement. I was worried my seats were going to look like they had suffered a stroke.

    For all of us with two wheels also

    Imagine how the bee felt; flying along minding his own business and then BAM, suddenly he was getting rolled on by a pair of giant, hairy, sweat-covered, meat-sacks. Both of the above are true accounts, with different perspectives. Life isn't so much about "truth", as it is about perspective...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I haven’t had to fix the JKU or the Harley all day, so it’s time to show some love to the ol’ gal… Add to this a retorque of the oil pan and valve cover.

    Gift card scammers - How I got even w/ them

    I’m sure most are aware of the various methods used by scammers to take advantage of people, they all suck, but I figured out a way to ‘get even’ w/ them. It started w/a text claiming to be my boss in a meeting and he needed me to help him get some gift cards. I knew it was total bullshit from...

    Fuel Pump Options?

    I know this topic comes up fairly often, but with changes in the availability of aftermarket options (and supply chain issues, etc.), I'm interested in learning what is currently out there. I have a 2003 factory tank which has never been dropped. The Jeep is getting harder and harder to start as...

    I thought I saw billet shackle mounts to replace the factory tow hooks

    I thought I saw machined options to replace the factory tow hooks, but I can’t find them anywhere… am I losing my mind?

    Sticking front caliper(s)

    Wife has mentioned a steering issue multiple times over the past few months and I couldn't duplicate the problem until today while returning from a week out of town in heavy, slow, SoCal freeway traffic. I experienced significant brake drag (multiple times, on BOTH sides), and that awesome...

    Flat fender turn signal & running light option

    I see many posts about what to do for turn signals once the factory fenders are removed, and it seems that the options are somewhat limited due to space limitations and/or a suitable mounting position. While searching for some additional turn signal illumination for my Harley, I came across...

    Replacement seatbelts - any sources that I might not know of out there?

    I’m finally going to replace the front seatbelts that have a mind of their own. I can’t count the number of times they’ve been shut in the door or prevented the doors from closing because they no longer retract like they are supposed to. I found SeatBeltsPlus to be the least expensive @ $212 (so...

    Alignment needed, what type of shop should I be looking for?

    Looking for a shop to do an alignment. I'll check tire pressures & rotate them (all 5) before taking it in. Is there a specific capability or alignment technique that I should be looking for from the shop in order to get the best results?

    California What's the deal with OHV permits in SoCal?

    I consider myself to be a capable, moderately intelligent adult, but I cannot understand what is needed for OHV permits in SoCal & I have questions. Do I need these for our licensed Jeep? (I don't think so). Why do I need one of these? Where do I need one? How do I get one? Are they transferable...
