    The Frozen Finger Build

    And so it begins... unheated garage, sub-zero Temps outside. Why not start a TJ build... at the start of a Canadian winter?

    Torx bit set for impacts?

    Shift lever boot cover & base

    The boot cover on my AX15 stick is rapidly cracking & crumbling - 22 years old, go figure. Is there a good aftermarket replacement? Haven't found one in the junkyards in much better shape.
