    Tow shackles

    Had some tow shackles fabricated that wrap OEM bumper and bolt directly to frame. Much safer towing behind MH. I like it better than the big aftermarket bumper I was using.

    Just got a Rain Gear trail cover. Cover goes over folded top in rear. Plenty of room. Goes on easy. 9 straps to anchor to anything under the jeep. Quality looks good.

    Putting top up hack

    I have a Best top with windshield channel. I fold it back with windows removed. When putting it up alone, it's a chore because the front channel keeps popping off.

    How to change differential fluid

    What do you think about driving topless

    It certainly is difficult to explain, but I am more aware of environment while topless; birds, dogs, smells, pockets of colder air. I'm in Upstate SC and beautiful views of surrounding mountains and vista's. Retired now and feeling blessed. That's what I think about.

    Air Filter Score

    I needed an air filter and stopped at Advance. They were discontinuing a brand and got it for $0.55. I ordered 8 more. They'll pull them from local warehouses. Check your local Advance to see if they have them.

    Header/no header, mesh/full shade

    Deciding on a safari top. Mesh or full shade in SC. Non-header tops don't have to be removed to put soft top up. Which manufacturer is best for money? I have a Bestop with header in place. Riding with the windows out makes the rear window zipper on sides flap a lot. I'm sure it's not good for...

    Do You Remove Your Top

    Do you take your top completely off or just fold it up? I have a Best Top and it fits when folded, but it's not pretty.

    Clunking at low speed

    I can't determine if it's universal joint or something in front differential. Looks like seal is leaking. Just has front end aligned and there wasn't a problem with connections. Really makes the clunk when turning at low speed like going out of driveway. Any suggestions?

    Wrung off bumper bolt

    Changing out front bumper. Used heat like suggested in forum. Still buggered up and wrung off one bolt. Is drilling and tapping my only option? The loctite on this TJ is incredible.
