    Advice on replacing custom exhaust

    2004, 4.0. PO did away with the flanges between the single cat and muffler and welded things up. Ideally, I’d like to only replace from the muffler back because the rest is in good shape. Can I cut it there and flare it out to install a flange? Or am I looking at a header back replacement so...

    How to install a cabin filter

    @Chris for your approval to be added in the TJ How-to Guides sub. I regularly drive in very dusty conditions, and got tired of the lack of cabin air filtration. I tried recirculate mode, but as soon as I'd change it back to fresh I'd get a blast of the dust that had built up. I wanted to use an...

    SOLD Soft Top Windows

    OEM black set of 3. They’re pretty hazy and have a few small scratches, but no holes. The rear window zipper has a couple of wonky teeth, but it’s always been able to zip to the top. I visit the Front Range occasionally and could meet up. They will be thrown out in a couple of weeks if no interest.

    2006 X

    https://rockies.craigslist.org/cto/d/buena-vista-2006-jeep-wrangler-low/7508259605.html I have no idea if this price is high or low these days, but it looks pretty clean. Only one undercarriage photo but I only see surface rust. I'd offer to check it out for someone, but I'm leaving on a road...

    What's your favorite gasket scraper?

    I am considering investing in one for the toolbox that’s engineered for steel surfaces. Do they save time over razor blade scrapers? What has worked best for you?

    2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ Unlimited Rubicon (Canon City, CO)

    https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/canon-city-2006-jeep-wrangler-lj/7495176733.html I’m not in the market, so I have no idea if this price is crazy or not, but it looks nice. Can’t figure out what the extra plate on the front bumper is about… No pictures of the frame in the ad.

    Motorcycle Hand Signals

    I've been driving on dirt roads since I could drive, but I'm fairly new to wheeling on technical trails. Last time out, I noticed that motorcyclists on the trail were using hand signals. I hadn't seen that before, so I looked it up. Are there other signals (besides the Jeep wave ;)) that I...

    Zerk Pressure Lock

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue: I place my grease gun's hose onto the zerk and, once done filling, the pressure prevents me from pulling it off. The only way I've been able get it off is to unscrew the hose from the gun to release pressure. It's frustrating, because it adds...

    Timing Light & Tach

    I am kicking myself for getting rid of my Craftsman light & tach years ago, but find myself in need again. I'm in analysis paralysis mode after looking at hundreds of ones online. I don't need high end, but would like something that will last a while. I don't need advance settings. Seems like...

    Taxation in the USA

    I've been looking at the way each state collects taxes (state, county, local, wage, sales, etc) at this site. It's really interesting to see and compare how each state works. It really helps explain where businesses and retirees choose to locate. https://statetaxindex.org/ And here are a bunch...

    Help me straighten out my tracking

    Short version: I need to correct my front and rear tracking after a body/spring lift. Take a look at my Jeep's profile and let me know what you would recommend. For the front, I know I could just install washers on the stops or wheel spacers, but I'd like to deal with the sway bar link stress...

    Does anyone here have full TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) access?

    Does anyone here have full TSB access? You can search for and find which ones exist for your VIN at the NHTSA. They are found as 'Manufacturer Communications' in the results, but it only has a brief summary without the details (see example below for a TSB I'd like to read). Even though these are...

    Raising a prefab cement stoop

    My front stoop has sunken over the years (very common where I live due to expansive soils), but it's still in good shape. I've used some google fu, and have found some videos where people dig out underneath and then use jacks to raise the slab. Has anyone done a project like that before? Any...

    Muffler and tailpipe replacement help

    I picked up my 2004 TJ a few months ago, and one of the things on my list to replace is the muffler and tailpipe. I suspect that the existing muffler/tailpipe is not original (but the rest seems to be). The flange circled in red below is missing, so I'm assuming it was welded together? Question...
