    The great cabin air filter discussion

    I've seen it done over the years. Despite having dust pour though my vents in the deserts of CA, AZ, NV, and NM I never really saw a huge need for it. I recently had a different situation happen that made me second guess my earlier decision. I was a particularly cold day yesterday. -12 to be...

    TJs trying to look like a JL

    I saw a TJ today (didn't get a pic) that had thin, white lights on the flares at the front. At a distance trying to look like a JL. It looked stupid IMO. Has anyone else seen this? I know they make JL style flares for the JK but this is the first time I've seen it attempted on a TJ. It was a...

    Sometimes working on your own vehicle isn't worth it

    I've needed to rebuild the front end of the Excursion and thought I had everything I needed to do it. Bought the parts and had the tools. (Most of the tools) Of course I picked a day to do the work that was below zero. The Excursion doesn't fit all of the way in the uninsulated garage without...

    Easy out heater core?

    The Wizard has a video of an easy out for heater core replacement. Cut a hole in the firewall..... I didn't know that frequent replacement of the heater core was a thing.

    Why would my passenger side lean an inch?

    I've noticed that the TJ leans a little on the passenger side for a while. Before I had some recent suspension work done. It wasn't until recently when I had the tire carrier open that I noticed it to the extreme. I measured it with everything in its place. Tire carrier closed. 3/4 tank full...

    Delivery mystery

    Does anyone recognize this kind of delivery label? This was dropped off on my porch today. I was taking out the trash and my kids heard the doorbell. They said a guy dressed in all black with a black hat was walking away when they opened the door. He got into a dark colored pickup truck...

    Anybody stud their mud terrains?

    Anybody here have any experience studding non-snow tires? Specifically BFG KM2s? How about KO2s? I've never had the need for studded tires until now. The wife just got some General Grabbers Artic and had them studded. Not sure if it's wise to stud tires that are used, and not designed to be...

    Pros and cons of removing the OEM locker speed limiter

    I've seen some guys remove the speed limiter (I think you just bend a pin on a relay?) for the stock Rubicon locker. What are the pluses and minuses of such an act? I don't think I've ever needed to go over 10mph with front and rear engaged. What would be the real world dangers of doing so? Do...

    Anybody dye their rollbar covers? What did you use that didn't involve fabric dye in the washer? Does liquid shoe polish work?

    I'm done with Duluth Trading

    Back in the beginning of April my wife tried to order a heavy jacket. Months went by and no jacket. She finally called Duluth who stated they didn't know what happened to her order. Sorry, can't get you another since it's out of stock. Back at the end of August my wife and I took advantage of...

    Soft top tabs needed?

    I've never had a soft top but as I understand it there was a soft top hold down tab to the rear on each side. Pictured is where I believe they were located. Do I need them or can they be there with the hard top on? I've always wondered.

    Superflex adjustable control arms. Most of the bushings are shot and would need to be replaced. You can buy them separately online. Came off my 04 Rubicon with a 3.5" lift. I recently replaced them with RockJocks. Both upper and lower rears. Front lowers. The front uppers are OEM with good...

    Rancho RS9000XL defective out of the box

    I just had my mechanic call me and state that the Rancho RS9000XL shocks I brought to him were defective right out of the box. Before I started a return I thought I'd do due diligence and see what he was referring to. Sure as shit, I get there and I can compress the rod by hand just as...

    Steering: How loose is too loose?

    Everything is tight; I think. At least in regard to the rods. See the video below. Sometimes I drive like I'm UI. I'm due for new control arms and shocks. Is this too much play? I'd like it to be tighter and hope it's not a worn steering box. Background: 3.5" lift on 33s. RE control arms soon...

    Control arm and shock installation cost: What's a good price?

    I pulled the trigger on a set of Curie Johnny Joints and some RS9000xls to replace my worn out ProComp MX6s and Rubicon Express control arms. Since I've moved from Commiefornia I've got to find a new shop to install things I either don't have the space or equipment to do myself or the time and...
