    I Built a Portable Off-Grid Water System

    I was looking for a way to replenish potable water in the wild so to speak. I researched the commercial offerings and found them deficient for various reasons and built my own. The 2 main commercial offerings are the Clearsource Nomad and the GuzzleH2O Stream products. I like the Nomad up to a...

    Is This Frame Reinforcement Factory?

    Hey Gang. I just noticed this rather ugly reinforcement on my frame. This is an '05 LJR. The welds look pretty crappy but I don't see any reason why this would have been added after leaving the factory. This is on outer side of the driver side frame rail above the lower CA mount. It wraps over...

    Hey all. I would like to get a decent 90 degree die grinder for general use around the garage. I want something that will perform well and last forever but don't want to spend over $100 if I can help it.

    Anyone Else Have Contact Between Savvy Skid and Rubicon Transfer Case?

    Hi Gang I have an issue that's probably been there since I installed a Savvy TT on my '05 LJR 6 spd around 6 years ago. I recently had the skid off and while reinstalling verified what I suspected but never looked that closely at before. The driver side of the TC is resting on the aluminum...

    So How Terrible Are The 05-06 Model Years, Really?

    Whenever anything happens on a 05-06 TJ, the year is often blamed, sometimes as a sort of knee-jerk reaction. I admit that as the owner of an 05 LJR, the constant trashing of these years annoys me. Personally, I believe the blame is often misguided. I also believe the issues with the 05-06...

    MasterCraft Seat Install Question

    I'm looking at installing a pair of MasterCraft Baja RS seats but the left side TJ adapter kits are not available and MC has no ETA. I'm wondering if the right side kit might work well enough to at least get the driver seat installed. Looking at the parts, I'm guessing the fold-forward release...

    Gear Lube Blowing Out Vent After ARB Locker Install

    Hello Gang I just had an ARB locker installed in my LJR rear Dana 44. There have been some issues but right now, the only remaining issue is that it's blowing gear lube out of the vent. I drove it less than 2 hours after picking it up from the gear shop and it left a few drip as I pulled into the...

    New Mexico Can Anyone Recommend a Differential Shop in Albuquerque?

    Hi Gang. Has anyone had a good experience getting gears installed near Albuquerque? I'll be going to 35's before long when I get a new lift sorted and when the tires are actually available. When I get there, a re-gear will be in order. I have no idea where to go. I had a re-gear done when I...
