    What did you do to your TJ today?

    After 3 months I took my new rock sliders I got from @Fluxor out of the box and put blue tape on them. Progress! At this rate, only a few more fortnights and I should have them done. Man, life has gotten busy. Haven't even driven the Jeep for like 3 weeks.

    Turns out it was not a belt squeak

    I got the Doorman off Amazon, and so far it seems to be fine. https://www.amazon.com/shop/tjforum?tag=wranglerorg-20

    Rear Seat Belts & Hooke Road Storage Rack

    I load with the heavy tools and such on the floor, and just put the lighter stuff on the rack. I don;t like putting heavy stuff that high in the Jeep or that close the the back of my head. I also designed some plugs for the through bolts on the tubes that lets me tighten them a bit more...

    Complain about your daily driver

    That is what I heard about them as well, but my niece had one that got totaled in an accident, and she liked it so much she got another one.

    Got Ducked today...this one is a keeper!

    You got a good looking Ausie there. My avatar is Pete. He's my Jeep buddy, but at 14 he's starting to slow down. He always has energy for a ride though, just not long trips anymore. It's his 2nd favorite thing in the world to do (right behind seeing my daughter when she stops by)

    Complain about your daily driver

    I like my daily. But 6 pot Brembos are a bit spendy to maintain. It fits me (I'm 6'7"), has room for the whole fam and can fit 4 bodies in the trunk. It also gets OKish milage if I dive like a sensible human and has enough power to get 5mpg if I drive like an idiot. You should drive something...

    Rear Seat Belts & Hooke Road Storage Rack

    This is what I use and love it. You need the mounting kit to mount it over the spare, but if you mount it inside the cage, it comes with everything you need. Also, having the seat folded forward does lose a bit of storage space, but the seat makes a "wall" between the stuff in back and the...

    Winch covers?

    A winch holster? Nice. I was thinking of 3Dprinting something to cover just the cable opening to help keep UV off the line, but have not gotten to it yet.

    Car pics too cool not to share

    Got to introduce my youngest daughter to jet car drags. The pictures/video do not even come close to the experience of being 40ft from the car. It was a good night.

    Which floor mats would you recommend?

    They look like Bartact. For just a couple hundred more than the covers cost, I had a local shop do Katzkin leather on the front and back. I think the Bartact used to be the best, but the quality has gone downhill in the last couple of years and I really like how easy to clean the leather is.

    Which floor mats would you recommend?

    Ya, I am going to keep an eye on this and try to snag a set with a discount. Not something I have to do immediately.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Winch upgrade courtesy of @mrblaine! Last weekend was the last time I am ever hauling a steel cable up a trail I can barely stand up on. From this: Christmas in July: To this:

    TJ / LJ Full Door Panels Available From Summit

    What part is broken? I created some 3d printable models to fix the broken parts of mine. https://www.printables.com/model/1211330-jeep-wrangler-tj-2002-vent-replacement-blades I could probably print you some of the pieces if the main body of the vent is still good.

    Which floor mats would you recommend?

    Did you ever get the Armorlite flooring? I am looking at it, and it looks like a great middle ground between my truck liner and a full carpet kit. I love the truck liner for how easy it is to keep clean, but it is looking dingy and has no insulation (sound or heat). Looks like the price on...

    Generic Warn Remote

    I was wheeling with a guy last weekend and he was using one of these HF remotes on his Warn winch. The reviews seem to indicate it works with Warn as well. https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/winches/winch-accessories/remotes/wireless-winch-remote-56504.html

    I think I need an LJ

    I know, but it's so cool! I can finally afford the car I was dreaming about in college. Ya, ya.....never meet your heroes. I know it drives like crap and will probably kill me taking the 1st corner. It's also a 90s Dodge which means it's built like crap and all the plastic clips in the...
