    Looking for thoughts and opinions on the Antirock

    Here in Michigan I’m not always airing down. At least not in winter or when I’m just driving over driving over an uneven field type area. There are so many shitty roads here that it is nice having that extra forgiveness/flexibility. It’s the best solution for how I use my Jeep. IMO of course...

    Exhaust could be possible source of vibrations

    My exhaust was causing my vibrations. Like most of us I’ve lifted my Jeep a couple inches. After the initial 2” BB I had to lower my skid plate so to ease vibes. Over the course of a couple years I’ve added a true 2” lift with adjustable CAs and traded the lowered skid for a motor mount lift...

    PYH Solar Yellow Alternative

    While picking up paint for my new UCF half doors I came across a color of rustoleum that's a pretty damn close match to PYH Solar Yellow; “Tuscan Sun”. At $5.99 vs $14.99 its pretty good alternative.

    NSG370 trouble going into reverse

    Two things, first be sure to use a synchromesh transmission fluid. I use Amsoil but the Pennsoil stuff works and is available most everywhere. I’d stay away from redline for the NSG370 especially if in cold climates. Also try removing the shifter boot. It just unclips. If it’s been lifted or...

    Looking for opinions and recommendations on tires

    Also, I’d rethink getting rid of the soft top. They are fantastic in summer and really not bad in winter. IMO

    Looking for opinions and recommendations on tires

    I’ve been a fan of BFG KO2s for years. Not cheapest tires but great in all weather conditions and look good. They’re pretty quiet on the highway too. I live in Michigan and we see icy winter roads here.

    Wildman's TJ is getting a face lift

    I kinda want it. I’ve been eyeballing a white one for a couple months now.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Yeah, they are mainly a company that caters to semi, duely and other larger long haul vehicles. But the balancers are available for a pretty decent range of vehicles and trailers though.

    What manual shifter knob do you have?

    Yeah that’s right up there with “keep making that face and it will stay that way.”

    What manual shifter knob do you have?

    1 3/4” solid black from Twisted Shifters sitting on top a B&M shifter 😄

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    New Dana Spicer diff cover came in for my rear axle. It now has a threaded fill plug instead of the rubber job that originally comes with the Dana 35. So I got that painted up last night. Then, changed the fluid over to synthetic and installed a Lube Locker gaskets on both front and rear...

    I recently stumbled onto these things from centramatic that are supposed to be good. I haven’t ordered any yet but I’m intrigued. https://www.centramatic.com/

    Gearbox grinding

    I’ve read something about Molly recently but I’ve never used it. The Pennsoil is just a brand that makes synchromesh trans fluid. I’m not a fan of Pennsoil because the additives(paraffins) they use. It seemed to be slightly thinner than 5w30 to me. What I looked for was a fluid that...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I recently decided to switch to Amsoil products after trying out their synchromesh trans fluid in my ‘06 (much better shifting now). So I ordered some 75w90 gear oil for the diffs and a new cover with a threaded plug for the rear.

    Gearbox grinding

    I’ve got an ‘06 and recently switched to Amsoil Sycrhomesh Transmission Fluid after running redline for a few years. I’ve got a NSG370 6 speed trans but I have similar issues in first and second gear. Redline worked okay during summer and when temperatures are up but come winter and it was...

    That gauge cluster looks nice!

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    That would be sweet! I’ve got stock bumpers, fenders, flares, shifter, shift stick, 2” lift spacers, TC drop spacers and more in my basement (needed room in the garage).

    Best stock fog light replacement

    Yeah I feel the same way with most the lighting accessories for Jeeps. They are always too square or too “modern” in their designs. It’s why I always steered away from most light bars and such. I got the round bezeled BD squadrons but I ended up ordering a set of the angled round bezels that are...
