    Oil Change Frequency Question

    Thanks, great advice here as always. I will see about changing filter brands, using high-mileage, and maybe even getting it tested. Guess I will stick with 1x per year for now if I stay around 1,000 or 1,500 miles a year. Thanks again, guys!

    Oil Change Frequency Question

    Curious about advice here on if I am doing anything wrong or need to make any changes to my maintenance schedule: 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ with 4 cylinder engine with 203k miles. Got this Jeep with around 200k in fall of 2018 from original owner who was a mechanic and said he maintained it well...

    Decision on Seized Bleeder Screw - Front Driver Side

    Thanks y’all, I couldn’t get the screw out so just replaced both calipers and soft lines, which probably needed to be done anyway. It was actually a much easier process than I had anticipated. Should be good for a while now!

    Timing of dash and taillights is off when using headlight knob

    Haha that is awesome, man. I can certainly relate. Enjoy the evening drive, it’s a beautiful night here in the mid-south!

    Simple soft window storage

    I just did this today: Got some primed pine from Home Depot for $5 and ripped the top at at 45 degree angle on the table saw. Two screws per board in the studs. The plastic retainer that fits in the body groove holds them right in there.

    Rear drum brake replacement

    That is a key here, your "2.". Took me a few tries to figure out what was going on. For me, there was a real sense of pride from getting done and knowing that it was done correctly. Nice work!

    Best options to fix up interior?

    My dash was shot similar to photos above. I prepped and used Rustoleum Painters Touch rattle cans from Home Depot. It bonds to plastic and claims to be UV resistant. It has been a few months so no long term results but looks awesome. “Nutmeg” is pretty close to “spice”.

    Just bought my first tires for the Jeep

    I just got the same ones and absolutely love them. So far I think it is the best thing I have done for my Jeep. Now that I have them, I see them a lot and love these tires on various SUVS. Tried the Toyo all terrains at my tire shops recommendation first but they just didn’t have the same...

    What is this thing hanging from my dash?

    Haha yes I’m sure it has. Just got the Jeep but the last guy didn’t really care much about the details. It was a hunting Jeep.

    What is this thing hanging from my dash?

    Any ideas? Maybe this is why my heat/AC only blows through defrost, feet, and side vents?

    Is it unreasonable for me to expect my new Smittybilt hardtop be leak free?

    Well the OP did, and that was his question. Also, objectively judging by the amount and content of the user reviews, so have a lot of other people... and the vast majority of users have been very pleased, even moreso than compared to some more expensive options. So, objectively speaking, and...

    Is it unreasonable for me to expect my new Smittybilt hardtop be leak free?

    You might think that, but it is actually rated higher by users in certain models on Quadratec. About equal on Amazon. And overall pretty good reviews on other sites. I am in the market, so I have been looking at these. I'm not really advocating for either, just objectively looking at the...

    Is it unreasonable for me to expect my new Smittybilt hardtop be leak free?

    I would expect it not to leak. I looked closer at the existing soft top that came on my Jeep and was surprised to see that it is Smittybilt from 2014. I thought it was OEM because it is really tight, looks awesome, doesn't flap, and I have gotten compliments on it. The owner before me really...

    QuadraTop Premium Sailcloth same as Bestop?

    Thanks, yes, I did call and they were very nice and helpful. But they acted like they couldn't disclose the exclusive supplier other. Probably is some sort of deal worked out to discount a certain number, which is perhaps why they only offer one type (black and tinted). Not sure why the fit...
