    Hood locks using cam locks

    First let me say that if you are planning to purchase Smittybilt or Rugged Ridge hood locks please don't! I purchased a set a couple of years ago and of course both sides failed when I needed them most. I was returning from a 550 mile trip when I noticed that my driver's side pin wasn't locked...

    Behind the spare tire 3rd brake light

    I always wanted that behind the spare 3rd brake light but living in Mexico gave me few purchase options short of ordering one from the USA so I decided to fab one up on my own. I found that the perfect platform was to use a lid from a 5 gallon plastic bucket. It was a perfect fit. An...

    Finally started my steely paint project

    Well I won't say that painting these rims didn't involve quite a learning curve. Following the rattle can directions disaster struck. After my last coat of clear I wanted to wait for the paint to cure. The finish was perfect. Three days later all of the painted surface began to crack. There was...

    Roof Rack LEDs and Back Up LEDs

    Originally I had installed a pair of 4" round HIDs on my rack. I never liked the fact that they were't instant on. I decided that I would search for a set of 5" square LEDs. I found a set of 90 watt lights I liked out of China at the right price and purchased them. Drawback was that I didn't...

    Rockford Fosgate PS-8 Install

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y3WKUX8/?tag=wranglerorg-20 So I purchased one of these subs with the intention of mounting it under the driver's seat. It doesn't fit. The other obvious places won't work because I carry passengers and the rear seat is always in the TJ. I'm stuck for options...
