    Hidden Jeep Danger

    I’ve never bumped into it myself, but my wife always gets the seatbelt caught in it after getting out. On the plus side, it’s also a great bottle opener!

    Retro decals

    I can confirm that CJ decals will not work on a TJ... But if you know a guy willing to do custom decals (and lots of measuring and trial and error!), you can recreate the classic CJ look on any Wrangler body. I have some Renegade decals reminiscent of the Silver Anniversary CJ-5 on my '06 LJ...

    Be careful when under your Jeeps, I dodged a bullet Saturday

    This reminded me that Jerry is mortal. ...And I don't like it. Dammit, Jerry! Take your vitamins! You've got too much knowledge!

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    It hit 70 in Nebraska today, so I decided it was time to ditch the hard top my wife made me keep. I said the only way I'd keep it was if we could buy a hoist. Luckily I just finished putting it up last night!

    25th Anniversary CJ Paint on LJ

    Woo hoo!!! My Jeep now has a retro look like the 1979 Silver Anniversary CJ-5! :b1::band: Thanks to Bill Schwenk of Be Seen Signs in Omaha, NE for the awesome job!! Reference:

    How about a forum about places to off road?

    @Chris Are you willing to also sticky confirmed and legal spots (both public and private-with-permission)? I think that will help sort out the wheat from the chaff, but I'm not sure how you'd confirm each. Or maybe those folks with a private-with-permission location could find an approved...

    25th Anniversary CJ Paint on LJ

    So this project is still ongoing but nearing completion now I think. (I hope!!) I got deep into it with a local company that backed out after determining it was too much of a hassle for them. I found out that a guy in my Jeep club actually does wraps, so it worked out well since I get to give...

    Pricing insanity. Store should burn to the ground.

    I followed the instructions here and can't recommend them highly enough!

    Pricing insanity. Store should burn to the ground.

    A well seasoned cast iron pan is the best! Look up how to strip and re-season with Flaxseed oil. We use ours all the time now.

    Stupid-long Exhaust

    For this wheeling trip, I just removed the tip. No problems with the exhaust where it was this time. Although I saw another LJ there with the pipe routed to just in front of the rear tire. Looked like a good spot to me, and I think I'll add that to my list of to dos for the Jeep. :-)

    Long time JK'er, newbie TJ'er

    Is he part of the Just Jeeps of Omaha club? We just made a trip to the Tuttle Creek ORV park in Kansas for some wheeling and camping. It was a blast! Tell him to look for the club on Facebook if he's not already a member. We do other activities as a group too, like pulling tractors to their...

    Stupid-long Exhaust

    I was thinking that too (I haven't taken a close look at it). How far under the body can the opening of the exhaust pipe be on a TJ before you risk fumes entering the cabin?

    Long time JK'er, newbie TJ'er

    Well. Shit. :( I bought my 2006 LJ Rubi automatic a month ago. Somehow I missed this info until now. What should I do about it if selling isn't an option? Anything to be done before the problem hits? Anything I should be listening for or looking for to fix it before something catastrophic...
