    A semi-complete DIY highline guide

    Okay so first off I want to preface that this was my first attempt at a DIY Highline, purchasing an actual kit to use actual Highline fenders is definitely much easier but my brother wanted to keep the Jeep look as well as not spend 1000+ dollars on the proper fenders, also this isn't a complete...

    Rough ride (I am at a loss at this point)

    Hey guys, I know this is a thread that typically overpopulates the forum, I have a 99 Wrangler SE, and It's ridden like a lumber wagon since I bought it. I have been through 4 different shocks, and 2 different sets of tires, I run my tires at 24 year-round. My last pair of shocks were Rancho...

    Verifying best practices for gear break in

    Hey y’all, I dropped my jeep off at the shop to get 5.13s installed. I have been reading a lot of threads on the best practices for gear break in and it varies from stop for 30 minutes every 10 miles to it’s not very important. This is biggest purchase I’ve made on the jeep and I really don’t...

    03-06 PSC Power Steering Box Swap in 1999 TJ SE

    Strange cap and rotor wear

    Hey y’all, I’ve been working on diagnosing a loud backfire at high rpms, I took the cap and rotor off and the wear seems very odd to me, is this normal and what could cause this? I’ll probably keep posting on this thread to keep you guys updated on what’s causing it.

    When is there not a point of weight reduction?

    Hey guys, I know I'm going to get bashed for the choices I've made on my Jeep thus far, I have a 1999 Wrangler Se. I decided that I needed 35's when it came to get new tires, I know that 35's and a 2.5 do not mix well, I am getting Rubicon Axles at the end of the summer with 5.13s. I know that...

    An opinion on TJ SE models

    Post your flat / tube fenders with 3-4 inch lifts and 33's

    I gotta say man, I’m not overly impressed by poison spyder, when I got mine, tge drivers side did not fit at all because the front grill mount was not bent right, looking at it further it appeared that it just didn’t get bent far enough from the factory, we stuck it in a vice and managed to bend...
