    Rhinolining (and the like)

    @707kevin and @tmcgee7 with the monstaliner does it keep stuff from sliding around? The Rhino-liner in my truck bed is great at keeping stuff from sliding all over place.

    What gears do I want?

    To much info, just kidding. A lot of good info for me to think about. Rubicon88, that's a lot of info to think over and it makes sense. If I spend the $800 and go to 4.56 and I'm still not happy with it at least it'll be better. Then I can can go from there if I feel I need more. Steel City...

    What gears do I want?

    Thanks for the input everyone. The recommended guy in my area for doing gears has closed his shop. He was tired of working 80 hrs a week. I guess it's time to find someone else and get 4.88s (damn that sounds steep) and maybe look at lockers.

    What gears do I want?

    Let's start with the particulars. 2005 TJ with a 4.0 and auto transmission with OD and Dana 35, Dana 30 with 3.73 gears and 32" tires. I live in the mountains in western NC and my current setup sucks. I've been watching Craig's List and Facebook Marketplace for axles. Today a guy post with a Dana 35, Dana 30...

    Where do you keep your pistol?

    Mine is an 05. Tuffy SKU: 055-01 with the sub. I respect any company that doesn't allow weapons also. I respect them so much I won't give them my money.

    Where do you keep your pistol?

    I avoid places that don't let me carry if it's at all possible. If I don't have any choice I goes in my Tuffy center console. That was actually the first upgrade I did.

    How to remove Herculiner from inside tub?

    I'm not sure how to remove it but I'm curious why you need to remove it. I've been thinking about lining my tub. I figured if I didn't like it I could just cover it with new carpet.

    If you throw that bumper away and pay shipping I'll give you my stock bumper. Just don't let anyone put that on another TJ!!

    What gear ratio should I install in my Jeep Wrangler TJ / LJ? (and other re-gearing FAQs)

    I'm running 32" tires (actually 31.5") in western NC mountains. It needs lower gears for sure but for most of my driving it's fine. Driving I-26 from SC to NC that climbs about 1000' in a few miles is irritating as hell but most places are fine.

    Removing key while jeep is running

    I liked the added option but not if any key that slides in will work. Now I need to find a lock cylinder that'll work with my key without breaking the bank.

    Opinions on DirtWorx front winch bumper

    Well I installed my bumper and winch the other day. Really happy with both. The winch has only been used to drag trees from the woods that were hung up in other trees. The bumper look great and is solid as it can be, real happy with DirtWorx overall. FedEx not so much but that was another problem.

    Removing key while jeep is running

    I have a Tuffy locking console in my jeep for locking up my pistol at work. If I forget to get it before I leave until I start driving I can pull my key out of the ignition to use the Tuffy key. I've done it a lot of times with no issue. Today I pulled it out and realized I used my S-10 key to...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Changed my spark plugs, they were definitely over due. They were supposed to gapped at .035 two were over .080 and the rest were over .060.
