    How do you transport fishing gear on your TJ?

    Weird angle photo my friend took, but I figured people here might be interested in what a fly rod holder looks like on the TJ.

    “The 2006 Jeep Wrangler has a dangerously unreliable engine”

    MotorBiscuit articles are always recommended in my news feed and they are never good. By the way, no relation :LOL:

    I request a deferred sentence from the judge, may my record be cleared as long as I don't install an angry bird grill? haha That's one of the weirest high school stories I've heard in a long time!

    Shout out to ARB customer service; because my project was delayed for other reasons, I went ahead and called about the broken clip on my wiring harness. They very quickly sent out a new one and I already got it in the mail today, I'm very impressed and grateful!

    I agree that time is more important . . . Speaking of which, does anybody in Colorado have a diff spreader I could borrow? I ordered one on Amazon that was supposed to come in today. Apparently the package made it all the way to Amazon's shipping station in Loveland (15 miles away) where...

    Just a small complaint, the wiring harness provided with the compressor came out of the box with a broken clip. Not sure whether I want to be nit-picky and have them replace the wiring harness, or if I should just put it on and move on. What would you all do?

    The ARB onboard compressor is mounted but not wired up yet. By the way, this is the 12V "high output onboard compressor" (model number CKMA12). I chose to mount this in a three step process. 1) Loose fit the three air fittings on the compressor (solenoid, pressure switch, quick connect hose)...

    Just as background, this is the first car I ever purchased! I bought it with 55k miles which is easily 1/5 the miles of the 3 hand-me-down cars I've driven since first getting my license. I'm not going to build this out as a rock crawler because I still kind of perceive it as a brand-new...

    Hardtop roof rack

    I had the same idea as you, but I decided that I would never have that much weight up there and gave up on that line of thought. I bolted on a roof rack from a grand cherokee, and I followed the instructions from this thread, https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/xj-cargo-rack-on-tj-hardtop.2747/...

    Utah Moab Trip 4/27/19-5/5/19

    I'm still planning to be there or very close nearby. What's the etiquette for Jeeper meet ups, just bring beer and/or gas? haha

    Utah Moab Trip 4/27/19-5/5/19

    Hey everyone! I'm a new jeeper, and I don't foresee myself building out my Jeep for serious trails before April. . . But coincidentally I am planning to be in/around Moab at about that time. Mind if I swing by and say hello?

    XJ cargo rack on TJ hardtop

    I had this same question. Unless I misread the original post, he makes it sound like he made cuts to reduce the length, not the width of the crossbars right? If so, those crossbars he found were really skinny. I found a roof rack that was the right length on some kind of 2000 Cherokee Sport...

    Great, that seems doable. I'll post a build thread once I start doing serious stuff!

    Stuck in Colorado - will this Jeep help?

    I definitely want lockers, but some people I was talking to mentioned that they didn't think it was worth putting lockers on my front 30 and rear 35. They were saying upgrade to the 44s first. What do you think? I definitely don't foresee myself putting in a lift or bigger tires anytime soon.

    Stuck in Colorado - will this Jeep help?

    Hello! I got stuck in the snow after ice fishing last Saturday. The transfer case on my old blazer decided to stop working on the way home. I was only spinning the rear wheels, and didn't have the traction to make it up a steep incline. I slid onto the shoulder into deeper snow and had to...
