    Going to the next level

    Well I’m still undecided on the 35s because of the overall cost. Definitely was considering much of the required parts for running 35’s anyways such as the brakes and upgraded steering. I was fortunate to have a buddy parting a ZJ out so I already have decent steering after I bend up my stock...

    Instead of the Chromoly shafts and a Elocker a set of Dana 44’s out of a rubi and use their elockers to the same effect? If I could find a set for under $2k that is. I was thinking of the repaint because of the current lack of paint on my hood and cowling, the sides are scratched up but I don’t...

    Going to the next level

    MP supercharger says it’s for a 00-06 TJ any idea why it won’t work with a 99? When I bought the Jeep it already had the lift and tires, but nothing else. I’ve done mostly cosmetic upgrades to it and also replaced the occasional broken part. I definitely agree on doing it right the first time...

    Going to the next level

    I currently have a 99 TJ that does well on fire roads, dirt trails, and glamis, but I can’t follow my dads built 79 CJ7 into the rocks in the same manner. In typical Jeep fashion I want more more more. Starting out my Jeep is basically the spare vehicle right now, as I only wheel when I’m able...

    How do I make my Jeep spit flames and pop

    Drop an LS in it, boost it, throw the exhaust out the side, and then take the time to think long and hard about what you've done.

    Help wiring halos on LED headlights

    There is a fuse-block module behind the glovebox, there should be a micro fuse slot (slot 18 or 19 there will be a diagram printed in the compartment) it is an empty slot that receives power with the ignition. If you use a micro fuse tap you can run a wire through the dash over to the drivers...

    Ideal setup for 32s?

    Mild build is anything under a 33'' tire size with 4 inch of lift in my personal opinion. In those words I love my "mild build" but as always it is a work in progress. As someone who runs 32's I can definitely say it is a slept on build style, as most "hardcore jeepers" only run 35's with crazy...

    Rear bumper recomendations

    I personally am a big fan of the Warn Rock Crawler rear bumper + tire carrier. American steel and made, with the Warn name this thing is damn bulletproof. The ends are tapered and contour into my TJ rather well, Ive have not been able to dent it after hitting the occasional obstacle, nor have I...

    Storage advice

    If you're looking for something a bit more low profile, to keep as an everyday jeeping load-out without sacrificing passenger space I use Rightline Roll Bar Bags. They attach easily to your cage and are perfect for things like a Yorktown Tool Roll, jumper cables, and just about anything you...
