    Why would my passenger side lean an inch?

    If I am honest, as long as it's not a safety or reliability concern and is just aesthetics, I don't really much care. But it does seem curious to me that it is this pronounced as I am pretty sure that our TJ has only seen about 10k miles while lifted, and its first 65k were all stock. It did...

    Why would my passenger side lean an inch?

    So I first noticed that my rear passenger side looked to be a little low when I was following my wife home from the mechanic the other day. I just went out to measure and it's definitely leaning a little back and to the right. I didn't break out the micrometer but by my quick measurements it's...

    How far are you getting on a full tank?

    3" lift and 33" Terra Grappler G2s. Calculated range 266 miles, practical range closer to 210. My wife likes to refill when there's 1/4 tank left. I like texting her pictures of the needle on the E.

    And this my friends is why if this is your style, you don't let your girlfriend name your Jeep.

    I think that it may be time for a new top

    I ordered this top from Sierra Offroad earlier this year for $219 delivered. Last fall when we put the top up for the cold weather it took me more than 40 minutes and it was a nightmare at every step. The old top was 18 years old and showing it...

    Bronco vs. Wrangler

    Rising tide lifts all boats, so to speak, so if the resurrection of the Bronco pushes Jeep and others to step their game up, all good. Frankly, I think this Bronco looks like it'll make for spectacular maul haulers and wannabe urban commandos. If we're being honest, most Bronco owners, like most...

    This looks like some shit Mr. Bean would drive to deliver pizzas.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Wash and wax and new top installed. About an hour start to finish for the new top. Will see how it behaves on the road tomorrow.

    The unfortunate TJ of the day thread

    In defense of this guy, putting diamond plate on your vehicle is just more efficient than going door-to-door to tell everyone that you're white trash. (I can say this because I am white trash, though not diamond plate white trash)

    Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat

    For $20 I am happy with how it looks still - definitely a major improvement over how they were. It seems to be holding up fairly well, but doesn't look as good as it did in the weeks after I used it. If you're looking for really great results though I would recommend taking the flares off and...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    It is original! I think it saw only light duty from the PO as we got it 18 years after she bought it with only 67,000 miles on it. That's also just a flattering angle, the actual condition unfortunately isn't quite as smooth as it looks :(

    Quote the late great John Pinette - "We have fabric that stops bullets, and the pantyhose are ripping. It's built in obsolescence, and it's bullshit!"

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Bumper is painted and installed with the new tow hooks. New stainless bolts and anti-seize all around.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Bumper is off, sanded, and primed and the new tow hooks are primed as well. Naturally the bottom bumper bolts needed some strong coercion before they decided to give it up. Bernzomatic and 18" breaker bar to the rescue. Cleaned up the bolt holes with some rust remover jelly and they will be...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I've looked at this one (full door style) because I am in the market for a new top. It took me 40+ minutes to put the top up the other day - almost all of that time spent on the sill above the door. It was pretty cold which I am sure didn't help, but good lord what a PITA.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Bought the stubby caps from Rugged Ridge. Don't love the fit but it's good enough to live with. The driver front fit isn't as good as the passenger but the rears are pretty good.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    RIP milk jugs. You will not be missed. And of course what could have been 5 minutes turned into 20, since 2 of the screws decided to spin their clips rather than loosen. Bumper painting coming soon.
