    Reporting back on my 2 inch lift

    I finally got the OME 2933/2942 springs and the Rancho 0-2" shocks in. Happy to report and thank everyone for steering me in that direction. The ride is firm but not bouncy, very comfortable, my original springs were probably showing their age as were the shocks. 2" of lift really made more of...

    Wrangler TJ storage project

    It's been busy around here and will be for awhile yet but I got my gun rack done working on it in between all the other projects I have going on.

    Headlights stuck on highbeam

    My lights are stuck on high, had to drive 30 miles home last night pissing off a lot of folks. I replaced the MFS a few weeks ago because of the fog lamp knob not working and since all has been golden. The MFS seems to be indexing mechanically toggling the light switch. Is there a relay...
