    Freedom Eagle

    Started getting a box built for the TJ today. So far I'm pretty happy with how it is coming along although I wish it didn't have to be so tall. Hopefully next weekend I can get it finished. A similar box will be made for the LJ, only using baltic birch instead of the cheap stuff here. Next...

    Rear seat bracket hardware and tie-down bolt specs

    Thats why I need to know the specs ahead of time. A fastener store that has the right bolt could be as far as 4 hours away from me.

    Rear seat bracket hardware and tie-down bolt specs

    Yeah I did try matching up with other bolts but same situation I couldn't find any threads that matched up. The metric selection I have close by is very limited. I have to go to town for some appointments in a few weeks and will run to the Ace over there if nobody comes up with info here. I'm...

    Rear seat bracket hardware and tie-down bolt specs

    Already tried that. They dont have anything close here. The next closest hardware store is over an hour away and theres no guarantee they have it either. I really don't want to drive over two hours to find they dont have anything lol

    Rear seat bracket hardware and tie-down bolt specs

    I am looking to see if anyone knows the thread size/pitch for the bolts that hold down the seat brackets. I am also looking for the bolt specs for the tie down loops at the very rear of the tub. This thread gives a part number but I didnt find any specs floating around...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Got another layer of wax on today after a short drive with the new PCM, hopefully it will allow most of the dust to easily rinse off.

    Tan seats

    Not quite what your asking for but it does show the tan along side black paint... It might give you an idea anyway.

    The Old Man Jeep (a '06 LJ build)

    New PCM from @Wranglerfix arrived today and installed! Went for a short cruise to just verify everything works. I did notice some tape around the third connector, so I peeled it off to take a look and don't see any signs of any wires being messed with. Everything shifts nice and smooth! And...

    Injury from soft shackle failure

    I'm not sure what fuses you are referring to. But you still fail to understand my point. The point is not to make an item weaker than its intended design, that makes no sense to the comment of using 1/4" ATV shackles is just weird. But rather make the rest of the components stronger which...

    The Official Tummy Tuck FAQ Thread

    Any known pics out there that show this situation? I remember reading about this years ago but never really found any photos to show how close the contact is.

    Injury from soft shackle failure

    It's not a matter of promoting failure, that's a pretty lame argument. But an attempt at controlled failure so that a potential failure is predictable in the event that equipment limitations are exceeded. Nobody knows exactly how anything or everything is going to fail in all of the thousands...

    Injury from soft shackle failure

    That's pretty cool. Has there been any video testing of it that you know of?

    Injury from soft shackle failure

    Everyone is sue happy these days..... It truly amazes me how many people just cannot seem to understand this. I'm by no means anything close to even a seasoned pro but man if I had a penny for each time someone questioned "why do you have so much gear", "why do you have all the expensive...

    TJs in beautiful places

    I've never been one for 'standout' colors. Always liked to blend in. But man that Inca gold looks amazing!

    Armorlite available for TJs?

    Well I must admit that my searching abilities totally suck lately otherwise I would have found this days ago. Anyway... I called Armorlite. I have been interested in their product since I saw their JT option. But, their tan in the JT seemed FAR too light to me in the few pictures I have...

    Rock Sliders / Rocker Guards Guide

    Oh wow. I dont remember seeing them a few years ago when looking at the JT versions but that's cool they have a bit of a record.

    Freedom Eagle

    I am currently still on the stock 3.73 gearing with 33's. I hate these tires and am in need for a good 3peak before winter. The tire I'm looking to go to is a 31x10.5. With the current 33's and stock gearing at 70 the entire is turning about 2350 RPM. Because of the rear diff fiasco, I am...

    Best compressor location?

    Has anyone tried mounting a dual ARB on the inside of the left rear fender - you know the open space behind the tail light. Right side is taken by charcoal canister of course, but the left is open.

    CARB Compliant Midpipe With Cat?

    I saw something many many years ago that I will never be able to un-see. It was an early 2000's mustang. It sounded weird, and looked weird. Upon getting closer at a red light I noticed it had a tin can muffler, and the biggest rear spoiler I had seen to that date. Basically some kid turning...
