    Bushing looking mangled.

    This is the bushing on the front passenger side of my kids TJ. What do you think caused this? Should we cease driving and fix? He’s not going anywhere but school (1.5 miles each way). What should I do to remedy this so it doesn’t happen again? Thx in advance for any advice.

    I have a crazy vibration around 50 mph

    Took the Jeep up to the cabin this past weekend. While travelling on the roads at around 50 mph I felt a crazy vibration in the seat, steering wheel, etc. When I let off the gas the vibration disappeared. When I am driving at slower speed I do not feel it. From what I read on previous post...

    My fender flares are kind of faded and getting gray in some places. Do you guys have any advice on how to rejuvenate them. Should I paint them? Someone told me shoe polish (Sponge bottle black type) works. What do you guys think?

    Trying to get this aftermarket door seal to fit

    So I bought a new driver side door seal from ExtremeTerrain and it appears to be to big. Should I trim a bit off each side to get it to fit then try and seal it together. I dunno. I’m no expert at this stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
