    How to remove Torx bolts?

    When I did my tailgate ones the instructions for the new hinges said to turn them right (clockwise) a hair to break them loose then unscrew them. Worked like a charm.

    Looking for input on round 1 of upgrades

    Might look at take off rims+tires. I got a nice set of 5 JK rubicon rims with decent ko2s on them for $500. Spacers were cheap to make them fit.

    Ham Radio Antenna Location

    I run the terraflex tail light bracket and a half wave 2/70 antenna. I do not have any complaints and it goes in my garage without hitting. Have a 3’ fire stick on the other side for the chicken band. I don’t like the antennas up front. -edited. I think the antenna I run is the diamond NR770HB

    Get the 4.0L 6cyl. They don’t call it the iron duke for nothing. Be patient. The right deal will come along. I passed on a bunch of 4cyl models before finding my 00 TJ. What is your budget, maybe we could help find you one?

    Best paint options for faded stock fender flares and bumpers?

    Fatty I read on here that a heat gun on low setting will bring the black factory flares back without painting. It’s on my list of things to do but I haven’t tried it yet.
