    Do I scrap it?

    The old girl is struggling. The frame is toast. Full disclosure, I knew this when I bought it. I paid $3,000 for the rust bucket and got 3 winters out of it. That's about what I expected and I can't say that this was a poor purchase. I've actually gotten a lot more than I expected out of it...

    Am I the A-hole? Another terrible customer service story.

    If you have 20 mins to kill, read though this fine literary abortion and let me know if I'm the asshole. Let me introduce you to the fine folks over at SVI International. They are a garage lift and parts distributor. I found them on a forum when I was searching for arm extensions for my scissor...

    I may be a bit of a troll? AITA?

    So I own a 2019 Ford Raptor and like every vehicle I’ve ever owned, I joined the forum. I have been somewhat unimpressed by the truck since I purchased it. The biggest issue being the abysmal payload of 1000lbs. I highly underestimated how low that actually is for a supercrew cab. 4 grown men...

    Jeep hit my kid head-on today

    Pulling up and seeing this is by far the scariest thing I’ve ever done as a parent. Luckily, everyone is somehow ok. The driver of the Jeep was arrested for OUI. They don’t think he was drinking but he was a fucking mess. The guy behind him called 911 5mins before the crash because he almost...

    Let’s see your garage lift

    The garage has been a long build but she’s just about completed. It’s a 28x30’ footprint with 16’ 5” ceiling and attic storage. Today, I finished the 4 post lift install. It’s a Bendpac 7500BLX. The goal was to be able to fit both my Jeep and my truck under/over each other which was a bit of a...

    Let’s talk snow!

    I just finished cleaning up after 20 inches of snowfall here in the great state of Maine. The old TJ did well. Not the easiest thing to plow with because of the worn out clutch and hard shifting but it pushes easy enough. I certainly need to swap out the tires though. Im running a 33”x12.5 and...

    Heater blower not working, ABS and Air Bag lights on

    I screwed something up. Short version - Jeep wouldn't start and I determined it was in the ignition switch. Rather than deal with that BS I ran a direct wire from the starter to one end of a push button switch and tapped into a red power wire in the steering cluster using a T-Tap for the...

    Why is your Jeep so angry bro?

    Am I the only person that can't wrap my head around the amount of cash spent to make this thing look like a Disney character? https://maine.craigslist.org/ctd/d/plaistow-2014-jeep-wrangler-unlimited/7159766566.html

    Anyone know where to find the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platforn T-slot nuts?

    Hey guys - I have a Undercover Ridgelander tonneau cover on my truck that uses the same T slot system as the Rhino Rack Pioneer Rack that I'm sure some of you guys use on your Jeep. I can easily buy OEM from multiple sources but they are so damn expensive it's silly. I should be able to buy...

    Lifting a Trailer

    I have a trailer I've been working on for a bit to use as my offroad rig. I'm never going to 'wheel' with it. Just want it for camping and light offroad adventures. I'd like to throw a lift on it with some larger tires. Anyone ever use the Timbren axle-less lifts...

    4WD.com (not a great experience)

    You all may want to steer clear of this company...at least for now. Not sure if it's just the Covid or if they are always like this. Their Facebook page is riddled with complaints from the past month. I was on hold for over an hour today trying to get a refund and find out why only half my order...

    Rusty Plow Beater to Lifted Mud Beater

    Hello from Maine. Long version below...sorry, with this quarantine I have too much time on my hands. I included a few pics for those of you that actually have better things to do with your time. I purchased my first Jeep back in Dec. I bought an old crusty TJ with 177K and taken care of like...
