    Today I sprayed U-POL Raptor Liner on my fender flares

    One thing to think about with the home-spray liner. If you don't spray it heavy enough it wont lay down. In other words spraying light causes little craters from the spray hitting the fender and bouncing back like a meteor. An idea here to try (which I can't ATM) very shortly after spraying...

    Today I sprayed U-POL Raptor Liner on my fender flares

    Looks like prep issues. There’s no scuffing of the fenders. You can use ‘bulldog’ plastic prep which somewhat melts the plastic to promote adherence but it doesn’t look to have been used on that. There is so much stuff that has to come out of all of those little dimples it’s quite a bit of...

    Today I sprayed U-POL Raptor Liner on my fender flares

    I love me a smooth tub. Just saying I don't like towel fibers all over when drying it after getting all sloppy or clean.

    I think that salvage Jeeps are the only way to buy anymore

    Something still wrong with everything in my ‘area’ 04 Sport with 175k rollover but really just probably tipped on a side, $6300 closing bid. Plus $1400 to Copart for ‘stupid eBay like fees’ $600 to ‘broker’, plus transport and lot charge of $100~$2k. Jk’s out the yin yang like this, couple...

    I'll never buy a TJ with an aftermarket alarm

    Ignore the above, you found it. There could be an ‘acc’ if turned all the way back. At which you found your problem. The cause is actually the lock tumblers inside the switch. You could probably spray a small squirt of silicon spray inside the lock to get it to hold the key after you take it...

    I'll never buy a TJ with an aftermarket alarm

    There is a pair of wires for it. A constant which is meant to keep the memory and a switched with would power the whole radio off. I’m thinking that if it’s a ‘high power’ deck it’s draw is due to it not really switching off. 1/4 seems about right. Change the wiring so it’s actually switched and...

    I'll never buy a TJ with an aftermarket alarm

    If I had to venture a guess, you have an aftermarket radio that’s tapped in. Or some lights that might work even when keyed off, switch could be flaulty for them, causing a draw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think that salvage Jeeps are the only way to buy anymore

    I've been looking at these as well but in AZ everything is gold, even wrecked. I'm watching salvage Wranglers go for hundreds less than local sellers. Not sure who or why but it kinda blows. My 'plan' for a toy is a salvage TJ, liability ins and use it to beat up trees and rocks. There are a lot...

    TJ or JK?

    I havn't been there in a decade. Last time was on Banshee's. I don't remember seeing any bigger vehicles anywhere but the flats. I'm usually a sand guy but don't have any toys currently. If you're going to go by Lees Ferry I'd suggest checking it out. It gets windy as all get out though but an...

    TJ or JK?

    I'm starting to agree with this more and more. I'm also keeping an eye out for a Sport with some lockers. I thought the 4:1 would be a good thing to have but I'm trying to think of when I might actually use it. I'm not sure there is much around here that would really need that. I've always felt...

    That hidden magna switch is the key really. That works great. until the relay dies, but always carry a spare or two and know where that is.

    I'll never buy a TJ with an aftermarket alarm

    Ahhh memories. 25 years ago I was upside down in many a car, truck, suv, tractor, boat etc nether regions either putting it in or taking it out. I thought being the owner would be easier, but when I had to crawl in and fix my installers installs I had to make some tough decisions. 1 was to send...

    TJ or JK?

    Looks like I'm being drawn to a Rubi, 03-06. I've started looking into the things to look for when buying one. It's going to take a budget up a notch but hopefully will keep me from upgrading it much. Theres a few 07-08 Rubi's that are in a decent price range but I'll avoid the 3.8 as recommended.

    Arizona Flagstaff trip

    TJ or JK?

    He looks to have flaked. I did some digging and he’s got a prior felony against him from 2009. Could be anything but he’s not bothered to contact me
