    Need to find the thing the dome light plugs into

    Hey all, was doing the Led interior upgrade and when I took off the lens for the dome light, the piece that screws into the sound bar and connect to the lens broke so I can no longer attach the lens to it. Anyone know where I can find a replacement? Here’s a picture. It’s the off white plastic...

    14ers are easier when your Jeep lets you drive further up than anyone else

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Been a while since I've been on here. Have done rear brakes, calipers, front brakes, calipers, the whole 9 yards. All went fairly smoothly. Also, I've had a chirping sound when pushing in the clutch pedal at idle, so decided to refresh everything in there. Good thing too, as the TOB was real...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Usually run the Bestop Trektop safari-style during the the summer, but I got a dog a little while back and needed a way to keep said dog in without the windows in, so I picked up the Smittybilt CRES cargo net thing. I actually dig it quite a bit, and it integrates great with the Trek top. Was...

    How often should I grease centering ball in front driveshaft?

    So unfortunately, last time I had my front driveshaft rebuilt they put a greasable centering ball in. Shoulda complained about it, but it's been too long now since the rebuild so anyhow.. What's the consensus on how often to grease it? Saw one post saying that 3k miles is the norm, but it would...

    Combat pay put to good use

    Definetly put mine to good use with some Savvy CAs, rear tire carrier, rear bumper, sye/ DC driveshaft, and winch. Sad thing was that whereas I was with only a few others from my unit that went to the middle east, the majority of my unit deployed to Europe and came home with 8k more than we did...

    Random things you hear that tell more than it should

    Met a Cherokee dude who said "I custom fabbed my long arms so they'd be longer than any of the bolt on kits" which he indeed had. This was before I really knew anything about suspension geometry, so I thought it was cool at the time.

    Is rubber the way to go for a MML?

    So as far as what stock style motor mounts to go with, should I go with this Omix-Ada 17473.11 Engine Mount? Or will something like the $9 Anchor ones do the job? Or something else entirely? I have aftermarket ones from the previous owner but they transmit too many vibes for my liking...

    For all of us with two wheels also

    My roomate rented a 2018 Road Glide and we went on a 250 miler two days ago down to Westcliff and back. Never been a Harley fan but gosh that thing was nice, he could hear the stereo going 90 down the highway! But anyhow, my bike is a Kawasaki Versys 650. Story time on it, it was originally my...

    Space between winch cross bars and spool?

    I did cut about 20 feet off, made it into a extension with padded soft loops similar to TRE, worked well and got to practice splicing for the first time here at home rather than out on the trail 👍

    What should I upgrade next?

    Well, rock sliders it is (or will be) then! Was thinking about going with the Warn ones. Of course I'd love to go Savvy but just can't justify that price!

    What should I upgrade next?

    Already have the SYE, a 1" BL, 1" MML, Savvy Cable Shifter; so besides maybe some exhaust work and adjusting my pinion angle I think it'd be a bolt on affair.

    What should I upgrade next?

    Given these choices, which one would you do next? 1. Ucf ultra high clearance skid. My stock one is already dented and I'm tired of catching it on things. 2. Rock sliders. Just took off my bent and broken factory side steps so I'll probably end up needing these. 3. Anti-Rock. The words of...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    If you have a military ID or know someone one with one, many military bases have mechanics hobby shops. I tried out the one near me today, and it was excellent, had a booth with a lift and was only $6 an hour! So I got a lot of little projects done today. A heated bay sure beats sitting in my...

    Space between winch cross bars and spool?

    Just a quick question for you winch experts, I recently replaced my steel cable with 100' of 3/8 synthetic line. I managed to fit it all on there, but there is only around 1/2" to 3/4" of space between the full spool and the winch cross bars. How much room do you generally run? I could see how I...

    Hand Throttle Attachment

    Oh and as an update to the thread, ended up going with the cable detent end and cable lock, turned out very well and have already used it on multiple offroad trips:

    It was around 6 and half feet as far as I remember.

    Saw a Gladiator with bigger tires and a lift

    I've seen this one the last few times I've gone to the local Four Wheel Parts: I mean, it doesn't really look like it gets off roaded, but looks pretty beefy nonetheless.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    So my e brake has been really loose since I've owned the Jeep, it was usually the last few clicks that would get it to hold, and I'd really have to pull on it. Now, I never really understood the whole auto adjuster/E brake connection until recently when I was looking into BMB, so I didn't...
