So how long do tires last when the vehicle is not moved or even started for an extended period? I think my BFGs are toast, man! :-)

Okay, so this has been a work in progress for three years now. Lots of issue, inexperience, lack of money, etc. have made it drag on forever. Along the way I have learned a TON and am now finally in a position to realize that what I *really* want to do is a frame-off restoration of this junk...

I live in Yazoo City. Anyone here live in the south Delta region (or the Jackson Metro area) who owns a 2004 or later TJ? I have a 2003, and while it is supposed to be mostly like the newer ones I am finding that it is a little like the 1997 is compared with the rest of the early TJs: It is...

I pulled the tranny the other day. Today I removed the clutch pressure plate, the friction plate, the pilot bearing, and the flywheel. • The disc that holds the pilot bearing simply fell out. • The flywheel is a bit wavy in cross section. It needs machining or replacement. Now the questions...

Well, my 2013 JK decided it no longer wanted to start a few days ago. It drove normally right up until I started it at 10:00 p.m. to pull it inside our gate. Ten hours later (8:00 a.m.) it would not start. It made the loud clicking sound you hear on my first recorded attempt with the external...

This is not cheap. It is not easy. It is not going to clean your junk 100% and guarantee 100% adhesion of the Eastwood Internal Frame Coating... However, it *does* do a very thorough job of cleaning out the rails, prepping them for painting with the Eastwood Internal Frame Coating, and ensuring...

Enjoy!

I will be buying some new underpants for the TJ soon with Christmas gig money. After everything else is paid for this month I will have just enough to get the full Savvy Under Armor kit. I already have a Novak cable shifter, a Brown Dog MML and the aluminum Rokmen BL installed. So I will be...

My air guns have 1/8" NPT tip threading and attachments. (The gun itself is 1/4" NTO.) I searched Amazon for a grease gun hose with that size fittings that was two feet long. I also purchased a female/female 1/8" NPT coupler. I put some teflon tape on both hose ends and screwed one end to the...

I have replaced my two front fender well splash guards (Mopar 55174658AD) and just realized that I forgot to get the one that goes up under the radiator/grille. Now that I am looking it up I cannot find it AT ALL. My 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 Parts Guides do not mention it anywhere that I can...

I am replacing my entire vacuum and fuel line system. I have in hand all the lines that run down the frame rail. I have on order the six-line bundle that lives on top of the gas tank (with the valve, etc.) but that seems to be out of stock at WeRMopar.com, so I have to call them after work...

Today was the first day my wife and I were able to get outside to work on the TJ since late February. Man, but it felt good to get filthy, be sweaty, and suffer a busted knuckle. Short day, replacing seven parts in my leaking vacuum system. Afterward I ordered some additional parts to replace...

Hey, all. I am very sorry that I have been inactive for so long. I have had a variety of issues to contend with, mostly being my extremely busy work schedule in the orchestra right now, and I have been nursing some illnesses and an injury. I have not done *any* work to my beloved TJ in months...

This ought to be made into a sticky so that we all can come here to vent when our days go this badly. Enjoy my misadventures from today! ___________________ All in all, today was a pretty crappy day. We *were* going to see a movie, but two hours before we were to leave my wife reminded me...

Okay, I posted about this on WF and JF and am now adding the info here. While surfing JF last week I saw a post about this cool, GM under-hood light that was used on GMC and Chevy trucks and Suburbans from like 1988-1999. Why they stopped offering this feature is beyond me. Apparently these are...

After my first real need for a winch arose in 2004, I swore up and down that I would get one. It would be a Warn M8000 and it would be new. I swore this. And I never had the scratch needed to get one until now. Got it installed over the past couple of days. Jerry Bransford helped out with a...

Okay, so after a ton of research and some experiments I finally painted the 1992 Dana 30 high pinion I took out of a trashed MJ. (Re-gear/locker install will start in about two weeks when my last duck is fully dressed and covered.) I won't go into all my reasons, but this is what I finally...

This first post is just to create the build thread. Not much in here today. I bought this Sport in June of 2013 after my first TJ died on me. I had bought the first one used in early 2004. It was a trade-in on a Honda lot. I saw it there amongst the endless backdrop of Accords and Civics and...

Hey, this is Holton345 from WF and GreenSport from JF checking in from Third World America, AKA Yazoo City, Mississippi. No, Jerry Clower did not make up Yazoo City; it is quite real. Hope to learn, contribute, and make some friends. Later! Wade
