    Help me find my hammer loop

    About 20 years ago I bought a hammer loop with a spring loaded gate in the back. It made grabbing the hammer out of the loop quick and easy. Just grab the handle and the gate lifts up and swings out. Then it swings shut and when you drop the hammer in, it acts like a regular hammer loop. It's...

    Order of operations

    Time for some major surgery. I picked up a couple axles and all the parts to regear and upgrade to a super 35. Just dropped off my axles at the sandblaster for cleanup before I rebuild them. They should be ready for pick up on the 26th, then I'll have em in the workshop for rebuild, re-gear...

    JL Dana 44 axle on a TJ?

    I have a line on a JL Rubicon Dana 44 with factory locker for a pretty good price. I'll take measurements on the wife's JL later, but if this is a bolt in swap for spring perches, control arms and track bar, I want to pay for it on the way home so I can pick it up this weekend. I understand the...

    Wife's JL left us stranded

    Returned from a sweet vacation last night and the wife's JLU wouldn't start. Also wouldn't shut off completely and was acting possessed. Dash lights coming and going, wipers moving really slow, can't shift it out of park and the info center says we can't start it unless it's in park. It was in...

    Got tagged in the parking lot today

    Older fella just wasn't watching where he was going. I stopped to let another Jeep back out and he just smacked the passenger side. He's insured and they already called and admitted fault so it's on them. Looks like I'll be getting a new door. Also a piece of the tub got pushed around the floor...

    Does this look right to you guys?

    Harmonic balancer on daughter's Cherokee. Pretty easy job, glad it didn't come off completely while she was underway.

    What other cool vehicles have you owned?

    I'm not a big collector but I've had some fun vehicles. A few 67-72 F series trucks. My favorite was a 72 F-350 crew cab longbed camper special. Every time I romped on it a Saudi oil well ran dry. Had a 69 Vette that was fun for a while but not a big favorite cause it was just a money pit and...

    2.5" lift turned out to be 3.25": Is this normal?

    I know it's a common topic. Guess I'll add my experience. I Ordered 2.5 inch lift springs, rancho shocks, brake lines, adjustable front track bar, rear trackbar relocator, anti-roll bar links with QD up front, all 4 adjustable control arms, front hubs, all ball joints and tie rod ends...

    Do I have to lift the body to slip the fuel tank skid plate bolts in?

    Dropped the fuel tank to ease lift installation and rear bumper install. The skid plate bolts are as nasty as you would expect on a 23 year old jeep and I snapped one. straps looked pretty good and everything else in the area appears solid. Plan on a new skidplate soon as the original is looking...

    Inherited my wife’s TJ
