    06 Rubicon - back to the forest we go, but first…

    Well with all that work being done to it it should last you quite a while. It seems expensive, but I have to remember that you're in Canada. Keep in mind with those miles your transmission will likely be the next major thing to go (either that, the OPDA, or the PCM). I'd probably have every...

    Very overdue build thread

    Looks like a fun project. Always fun to figure things out as you go as well.

    Want to make sure I get the right shocks and bushings for 05 LJ

    The only way to really know what size shocks you need is to remove the shocks and springs and cycle the suspension and then take measurements. Rancho RS5000X shocks have a soft ride. In addition, make sure you're running the correct tire pressure which is usually around 26-28 psi max...

    PMS Cards & AI

    These are the things it's useful at. I've used it enough now to discover what it's particularly good at and what it should not be relied on for.

    2.5 ticking / possible exhaust manifold leak

    Sounds more like lifter tick.

    What color should I paint my TJ?

    Link works for me. It shares your email because you're logged into Google when you click the link. Nothing to do with the forum.

    Vehicle Choice for Glare Ice

    Mine were all 5-speed manuals but the last one was an auto and it worked very well. It was a 2015 Outback.

    Vehicle Choice for Glare Ice

    Indeed it does not. I found an empty parking lot covered in snow and ice and tried to get that thing to lose control and it just wouldn't do it. Those computers are pretty damn smart to say the least. It's the sort of vehicle I'd feel comfortable putting my daughter in and letting her drive!

    Vehicle Choice for Glare Ice

    I remember all the times I'd go skiing in our old Subaru. I'd take that thing the mountains and man was it a joy to drive in the snow. Unfortunately they have a reputation of being lesbian cars which makes them a bit embarrassing to drive. Still, I've always liked them as I think Subaru builds...

    Vehicle Choice for Glare Ice

    Hard to beat a Subaru with good Blizzak tires.

    What's wrong with the cheap China bumpers?

    Yep, after experiencing steel and then aluminum bumpers I don’t know why anyone would run steel at all other than saving money.

    What's wrong with the cheap China bumpers?

    They weigh so much.

    New to me 2006 TJ

    Well you aren't wasting any time (maybe some money though ;)) with those plans! Get ahold of @NovakConversions for your engine and transmission conversion needs (y)

    Who here is into archery?

    Strange. While I understand the point of a treestand, I don't see the appeal of it. I'd much rather hunt from the ground.

    Who here is into archery?

    I know nothing about archery but I get what you're saying. I see these $2000 compound bows and for the life of me I can't figure out what's different betwen one of those and say a $1000 bow. I'm guessing it's weight and materials used. In any case, it seems like those Genesis bows would be...

    Adventures with ACC carpet kits

    I have used ACC carpet kits on various vehicles throughout the past and found similar issues with poor fitment. I’m not surprised about their customer service. More-and-more I’m finding that good customer service is very hard to come by anymore.
