    Appreciation for this group

    I’d like to give a huge shoutout to everyone on this forum who have helped along the way. I had big plans for my TJR, but working so much has taken my free time away and I’ve shifted my focus more on hunting than Jeeping the past few years. That said, I got an offer for my TJR Saturday and I...

    Call me crazy—I'm downsizing

    04 TJR that is absolutely trash to drive. 35s, 5 speed, 4" lift installed in 2006, 4.10s, sloppy worn out everything. Bought it for strictly trail riding 18 months ago. Have gone on rides a total of 3 times... So, F it. I want to drive it, be comfortable and still be able to hit some mild...

    Weird new issues after driving TJ for the first time in a month

    2004 Rubicon 4.0 - Manual Decided to drive it as life has been busy and haven’t had it out in awhile. Changed rear caliper that was sticking, bleed the system and off we went. Within a mile, speedometer started jumping around like crazy. All other gauges ok. Speedometer never stopped doing...

    I'm about to start on my front end rebuild. PO installed drop pitman arm and a bolt on drop track bar bracket at the frame side. Is OEM a weld on bracket frame side? Or can someone share pics so I know what I need to get.

    Might have found a gold mine

    Ran into an old friend this weekend. After chatting for a bit, he told me about his truck stash (old trucks and parts siting in a field / barn on his property) he was gonna get rid of this year and I can come get what I want for scrap price. I know for certain there are 3 king pin Chevy Dana...

    Ball Joint Eliminators

    I’ve been seeing these pop up more and more the the big axles. We all know 35s are the max a built TJ Dana 44 can handle with some form of reliability but if you go bigger, ball joints seem to be the consensus for the weak point. Would something like these give the comfort level of running...

    Working from home - here's what I'm doing, how about you?

    Working for Toyota, production has stopped till May 4th. Outside of a daily phone conference and a meeting here and there, I got a little bit of free time so I dusted these off the shelf and will be installing these this week. I’ve only had for a few months now 😁 What are you working on?

    Budget friendly wheeling (finally got me a tow rig)

    I’ve needed a tow rig for awhile as I’ve not participated in many distance trips with my friends since acquiring the TJ last spring due to lacking in the tow rig department. Having a special needs kiddo, it’s hard to spend money on “toys” when important life things come up often and as you...

    Anyone Running This Genright Low Profile Rear Bumper?

    Anyone running this? Pics would be great as I couldn’t find any. Options are more limited as I want a receiver for carrying a cargo carrier during hunting season. Also looking at the Barnes. Any other options out there?

    JL Motor Options

    Anyone here own or have driven the new Turbo 4 JL? I’ve owned a 3.6 JKU and loved it but curious about the other alternative. I know the diesel is coming (4 door only..) but don’t want to pay the premium as I’m seriously considering a 2 door JLR as my next jeep. Keep it stock and just enjoy it...

    2” Gauge Location

    Today I was cruising down the interstate and my check gauges warning light came on and my temp spiked to 260ish. I pulled over, popped the hood and everything checked out ok so I jumped back in the jeep and turned key on to see what the temp was at so I could let it cool and I could finish...

    Is it possible to make my tummy tuck completely flat?

    Question- With a 1.25” BL and 1” MML, is it possible to go completely flat with a 241 T-Case without cutting into the tub? As in, can I take sheet steel or aluminum and bolt it up. Nothing hanging down. Custom low profile transmission mount to be expected. I just ordered the BL and MML...

    Is rubber the way to go for a MML?

    Looking for opinions on what’s the go to MML. Don’t want to do spacers as my heap has 208k and figure it won’t hurt to replace them. Assume rubber is the way to go...Ordering a savvy BL as well to go along with this project. Thanks in advance, Tristan
