    Power tool batteries and fire safety

    So I saw a reddit post the other day where someone had a Milwaukee battery explode in their toolbox overnight and it got me thinking. I've only got three batteries, they're probably 5+ years old but still work great. They're pretty much always at my shop 20 miles away from my house. On the off...

    Help with price for 12" stainless square tube

    I recently bought 1400lbs of steel tubing and misc stuff from my work for $.08/lb. Got lots of good stuff I'm going to use. I also managed to snag a 26" long piece of 12" stainless Square tubing with .5" wall thickness for $.08/lb. It would make a very nice base for something, but I'm...

    It's pretty hard to beat old iron

    Was building myself a tool for setting my toe the other day and maxxed out the old drill press for the first time in a while. 1 3/8" HSS spade Drill going through 3" of 6061 with no pilot hole. Worked pretty well, just should've used the shop vac to begin with as straight flutes don't evacuate...

    Advice on a quality heat gun

    Looking for any recommendations on a good quality heat gun. My harbor freight one caught on fire today, so it will need replaced lol My main project will eventually be for heating up and scraping off nearly an entire trucks worth of bed liner, so corded may be the best option for me, the hotter...

    Advice on torque wrench screwdrivers

    Looking for any recommendations on a high quality torque wrench screw driver. I'm a CNC machinist by trade and recently moved into areas with a lot more fixturing, including dealing with lots of little screws and clamps daily.

    Cracked cylinder head, help me decide what to fix

    My TJ is a 2002 4.0 with 160k on the clock. Unfortunately I must have an earlier 02 as I have the 0331 head, not the TUPY casting. Over the last several months I've been chasing some misfire, cam and crank codes. Ended up replacing the cam and crank sensors with NOS Mopar sensors and that seemed...

    Recommendation for large gauge electrical crimper

    Wondering if anyone has experience with larger sized electrical crimpers, maybe somewhere around 8ga to 2/0 or so. I'm trying to make some nice battery and electrical cables for my Jeep truck LS swap. Hoping to find a nice industrial quality tool that is compatible with standard connectors I can...

    SOLD TJ rear disc Dana 44 axle

    I've got a rear TJ Dana 44 disc brake axle for sale. It's nearly complete, the guy I got it from popped a ring and pinion and swapped his locker to a different axle, so it just needs gears and likely a carrier or locker to be functional. Factory shafts, splines look good, not twisted at all. The...

    Boostwerks Engineering Jeep 4.0 Titanium Manifold Stud Kit (V2.0) Review

    Decided to put up a short review on this Exhaust stud kit since I wasn't able to find a whole lot of info on them before buying them. I've got a very leaky exhaust manifold gasket that I will be replacing soon, and I wanted some upgraded hardware before diving into that project. First I checked...

    What is open loop-drive and is it normal?

    So I've searched around a bit and found some info on jaguar forums, but nothing TJ specific. It seems like Open Loop-Drive is a mode the computer may switch to during heavy acceleration where it sets fuel output to max. I'd like to get a bit more clarification on that. This is all on a 2002 TJ...

    Handling characteristics of a wider rear axle than front axle

    I've been trying to find a good solution to my axle width problem for a while now. Currently I'm really close to a stock width axle in the rear (super 8.8) with 3.75 backspaced wheels. My tires rub the shit out of my shocks in the back, doesn't cause any damage besides some rubber on my shocks...

    Two For One—A Go Fast TJ and J10 Build

    Hello everyone, some of you might remember me from Jeepforum and my Wingnut Build, I kind of stopped updating it after a while and lost interest in that forum. Trying to get back into the swing of things and figured this might help keep me a little motivated to get my projects done. It’s good to...
