    Eyeballing engine pitch/angle

    Not sure I really noticed this before redoing the frame at the center skid plate. I believe (just by eyeballing it) that my engine is pitched rearward a lot (like reverse raked “popping a squat”) If the Jeep sat level, is the valve cover supposed to be near level? 4.0 MT, no lift

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Finally wheeled it. Class IV mostly done in 2wd. Some spots I was concerned but this little fella was a champ.

    Boat sides

    Uploaded a new photo. It hasn’t busted thru yet but I live in Massachusetts. My previous 4runners have had similar and would poke thru by the end of the next winter (if that makes sense). I can’t really tell how bad. I bet w/ a good jab f a screwdriver, I could punch thru. So a “no” on boat...

My options are try my hand at welding some patches (i can weld flat bar stock, exhaust, yard equipment, etc- rough stuff) or “boat side” the tub. Iwill never rock crawl with it but will...

    Help removing fender flares

    This... went with squeezing in cereal box cardboard to prevent overspray. At some point I’ll have to make the effort to spend a day getting them off like the others above. smh

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Swapped out the factory rear bumper for the <$200 EAG. Quick review- they now weld the brackets to their bumper and you don’t need to assemble first. It is slightly wider than I’d like. Overall pleased. Images for your review. Oh- I also turned the heat on to bring down the engine temp “check...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Awhile ago I bought a direct plug-n-play pyle sub (~$20) off Amazon. Well 8 months later it died. So instead of making that mistake again I picked up the well renowned 6.75” kicker shallow and modified (cut) the center enclosure. I dusted off my vintage Fulton “200w” 2ch bridgeable. Amazingly...

    Google “auxiliary stereo input hack”. I’ve done this on an 2005 Mazda. I soldered on the L/R cd outputs. Just burn a “music“ cd with no sound. Should be similar on the Jeep HU. Maybe easier if you have a tape deck

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Had doors and windows off and left at home. Guess what happened? Tried to thread the needle of a fast moving downpour. This was a first. Fun! When I got home my RL MTL has arrived. I have to say, on the NV3550 I have to say the fill spot sucks!! Esp considering the size of the 1qt bottles. Had...

    Removing Roll Bar Padding

    I was thinking of doing the same but I wouldn’t be able to stand the soft top flap flap flapping around or stand seeing it’s bars scratching up the paint when I raise/lower ST. So thanks :)
