    Step that will work with rock slider?

    I’m needing a step that will mount underneath the rock sliders. My father has a TJ as well. 4” lift, and actually has the rokmen Mercenary rock sliders like mine. But he’s finding it difficult to get in and out. Is there a step I can mount underneath the current sliders?

    As a TJ owner, how would you build a JKU?

    As a TJ owner, how would you guys build a JKU? I bought a JKU Rubicon, because I needed something to haul my baby boys around. The TJ was a pain, and is now a 3rd vehicle, a weekend toy for me. Plus this will keep the miles down on it. I’m looking for some ideas on how to build it up. I...

    UH OH!

    So, I did this today..... 2015 Rubicon. Came across a good deal, and couldn’t pass it up. I’ll have it paid off end of the year. This things drives very nice! More electronics that I’m used to, but I really like it. It has 33x11.5 Mastercraft mud tires, which I’m not a fan of. And it...

    What’s the sign of a bad wheel bearing? I had the doors off the Jeep today, and while driving thru town, I started hearing a noise once I exceeded 25mph. It got louder as I drove faster. It’s like a grinding noise. Almost like some thing rubbing against the rotor. Seems to be coming from...

    Any cable cutters here?

    We canceled satellite tv a year ago. I put up an HD antenna, and have free local stations. Plus we have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. I’m actually considering canceling Hulu since we no longer watch it as much. I’ve been looking into what SlingTV, even DirecTV NOW, to see what they offer...

    Thoughts on this double DIN setup?

    I have some cash saved up, and I’m tempted to use it to buy something “dumb” for my TJ. “Dumb” = something I don’t need, but may be cool to have. I like the idea of a nice double din stereo. Like this: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_1301330NEX/Pioneer-AVH-1330NEX.html I also found this...
