    What would your dream bumper set look like?

    Hi y’all, so a bit of a theoretical question here. If you could design or find a dream bumper for your wrangler, what would you want that to be? Short and stubby with only winch points? Integrated winch mounts and creative but sleek lines? What kind of material, mild steel, aluminum? I’m...

    Need help identifying these Dana 44 axles

    Hello! So I decided to make this a post of itself, as it spawned out of a previous thread on a different topic. I picked up the Jeep in question back in January when I got t-boned in my last tj.

    Front axle u-joints question

    Hi all! So I’ve been updating my list of things to work on on my Jeep to get it as trail capable as it can be(within my budget) as well as just generally reliable as it’s my DD as well. Anyway, I noticed when I was under my rig the other day that my front axle u-joints seem to be pretty rusted...
