I was watching the Baja 1000 a couple of days ago near my house and I couldn't get the Jeep to start when it was time to leave. I tried rolling it down a hill and bump starting in reverse, which didn't work. I tried bump starting while being towed forward, which didn't work either. I got towed...

The front-most side body mounts on my TJ are both collapsing and I need to repair them. My plan is to Jack the body up one side at a time so that I can bang the body mounts back to flat, and then weld a 3/16" plate on top. It looks like I'll need to weld in new nuts at the tub as well, at least...

I read everything I could find about raising the gas tank skid plate after adding a body lift and I completed the project this weekend. It went pretty smoothly and I didn't run into any problems that weren't easily dealt with. I'd never removed the tank before, though I had removed the nuts to...

I spent some time this week changing out the rear jounce bumpers on my TJ for a set of Sumo Springs. I've been having a lot of problems with harsh bottoming out when driving fast in the Jeep. The factory jounce bumpers squish entirely into the metal cups, while the sumo springs compress 50%...

I've smashed my oil pan twice now with the front axle truss. I have a high pinion Dana 30 with an Artec truss, and my bumpstops were set incorrectly to allow the truss to hit the oil pan under full compression. Full compression only seemed to happen when I'd go to fast and hit a rut hard with...

I just came across this video from a few years ago. I forgot how scary this was at the time 😅 This was at Corral Canyon OHV in southern California. Does anyone have a video to share? Something scary or maybe a little sketchy?

I made the mistake of putting aftermarket balljoints into my high-pinion Dana 30 and now the bores are super loose and the driver-side lower is moving up and down in the inner-c. I tried a set of spicer joints that I had dimpled with a punch. I didn't use any of the retaining compound like Mr...

I've already replaced the plastic radio mount once after the mounting tabs broke. Now I'm at the point where the replacement is hanging on by a thread. It seems like fast bumpy driving just wrecks them after a few years. Does anyone know of a metal bracket that would work with a single din...

Hi folks! I recently mounted my viaair 400p air compressor to the rear of my jeep. Right now it's all mounted in a frame that I welded on below my spare tire on the swing out. It works well as is, but i'm looking for an idea on how to flush-mount the quick release that I'll plug the hose into...

Hi folks - I swapped a ford 8.8 under my jeep a few years back. I used a '94 drum brake explorer rear end that I found through a friend with all of the brackets cut off already and we put on the artec truss and slapped it under the TJ. Now I'm living down in Baja with a glut of junk yards and...

I rebuilt the np231 transfer case today, and it went pretty well. Here it is as removed: First thing I did was pressure wash it. And then I used a slightly-too-small hex head socket in the drain plug and stripped it out. It's the same exact thing I did to the fill plug a few months ago...
