    We use Naylor steel. We've used gorilla as well and metal super market. Naylor has been the most professional and best equipped supplier to work with. I work in the maintenance department at a waste water treatment plant and I send my guys there at least once week to pick up materials for...

    Ineos Grenadier (new 4x4)

    So my brother sent me a video link to check out the new Ineos Grenadier. I had to ask him what the hell he was talking about as I had never heard of Ineos. The long and short of it is that a group of guys complained that all the new SUVs lacked true off road capabilities. So instead of just...

    Home Buying & Selling (Third Time is a Charm)

    Happy for you and hope this one works out. Glad you were able to sell and get rid of your Salem house as I think Covid-19 will negatively impact the real-estate market this spring in summer.

    Explain Your Avatar / Forum Name

    Basically, yes. Grew up in the UP of Michigan and moved out to California 19 years ago. I much prefer to visit snow and experience winter on my terms. The UP of Michigan is beautiful in the summer and fall, but miserable in the winter. The winters are pretty brutal.

    I used to answer the phone “Heaven, God speaking”. Always got me a moment of silence followed by a good laugh.

    Why it’s good to let your wife drive your Jeep

    NV3550 5-speed manual owners: How do use you 5th gear?

    Freeway only. having the metric equivalent of 31 inch tires with 3.73 gears means I'm running too low of RPMs in 5th gear unless I'm on the freeway or rolling downhill. I like to keep my cruising RPMs around 2500 so that often means I'm in 4th on any road that has a stop light and 5th on the...

    Did I get a good deal on these wheels and tires?

    How do they ride and how noisy are they on pavement?

    Destroying Jeeps

    Yes it was. You can read the first few pages and get the gist of what happened. I am very glad that we have better behavior on this forum.

    FYI, I paid 12K for my 02’ sport with 42,000 miles in May of 2016. I would say 12-13 would be a fair price as long as the frame is clean.

    Flex head ratcheting wrenches

    Harbor freight sells a few good items. I have some wobble extensions that I use when I can’t square up a socket and they have served me well so far. I also have a torque wrench from HF that gets used from time to time. They have their time and place. The only reason I’m not looking to buy Hf...
