    Replacing the third brake light with an LED 'chase light'

    Here is a fun mod that I completed over the weekend and have been really pleased with the end result. I wanted a better third brake light than the stock unit and ran across THIS unit that looked up to the task. I made a mount that bolts in place of the stock unit: For the wiring, I copied...

    Spinoff: Sick Week...for the offroad crowd?

    It seems like there's a drag and drive / endurance type event every other month popping up on social media for the drag racing crowd.

    Trying to get it mostly right the first time: A 5.9 Magnum, 46RE swapped and tummy tucked daily driver TJ

    I am scrapping my old build thread and starting a new one that’s a little better thought out and more to the point, so this might look familiar to a few people.

The trip would be September or...

    Reupholstering Factory Seats

    I'm driving my 97 TJ 4+ hours to the beach this year and am using that as an excuse to freshen up the interior, especially the seats. My vinyl SE seats are still in very good shape, but the vinyl has to go (read: I sweat a lot). I've researched the aftermarket suspension seats and have decided...

    97 TJ Build Thread: From 'I'm Keeping it Stock' to a 5.9 Magnum swap

    As much lurking as I've done over the past few years, I figured it was past time to contribute to this fantastic community. Bear with me as I update 1.5 years of TJ ownership. The quick backstory: I've always loved off-roading and have wanted a Jeep since I was a kid. I am a hobbyist mechanic /...
