    What I've been up to... (Oldsmobile build thread)

    It's been a while since I've been around here much as I've gotten pretty involved in a past interest. A while back I did some figuring (poorly) and came to the conclusion that it was going to cost too much money to take the TJ to the next level, and that I should just leave well enough alone...

    SOLD Seats for sale in central CA

    TAN—Thread About Nothing

    Figured I'd make a general chit chat thread on here and see if it goes anywhere. What are you all up to recently (non-jeep related)? I just ordered $300 worth of tune up/ maintenance parts for my pickup. It's needed some attention for a while now and this afternoon I decided not to tolerate...

    PRP Daily Driver Seats

    So I'm close to ordering a set of PRP daily drivers, has anyone else bought them recently that can comment on quality, comfort, looks, etc.? I know @Jerry Bransford likes his and a couple people have bought the adjustable seats recently but I don't think I need the adjustment. I'm a bit torn...

    15” big brake kit, or just replace with stock parts?

    So on my way home this afternoon the Jeep started pulling to the right. Figured it was a stuck caliper but it ended up being a notch in the knuckle that the pad fell into and got stuck (both knuckles have the notch). I went to the parts store and got new cheap pads to bandage the Jeep back...

    Anyone into smart home stuff?

    I'm looking into a new thermostat to replace my older Honeywell smart thermostat. I'm leaning towards a Ecobee 3 with a couple extra temperature sensors. My biggest issue with our current thermostat is its differential is too tight and it doesn't circulate enough air before the thermostat...

    Has to be a scam right?

    The attempt at the official language, notarized bill of sale, etc. screams scam. No way anyone would sell a rubi for 1k right?

    Talk about being stuck

    What a terrible place to try and tow a trailer.

    General Recovery Gear Discussion

    I recently ordered a couple soft shackles and a recovery rope from TRE and I'm looking at reorganizing my recovery gear. I currently carry a receiver hitch shackle adapter in my gear bag but after reading a post by @mrblaine where he used a soft shackle and an Allen wrench in a hitch with a...

    Finished a knife

    I've been working on this off and on for a while now, figured I'd share it with you guys as well. I started it around xmas of last year with some others that I made for gifts. I'd kind of like to redo the sheath but it will take a while to build the ambition to do it over again even though it...

    Sport Bar Improvements Discussion

    It seems that every forum has to hash this out at some point and since the conversation was brought up in the capabilities thread I figured I'd start this conversation. I bring this up in a somewhat self serving manor as I can get a sport bar that has some additions for free. It's a little...

    Rear Diff Costs

    I'm not realistically in the market for a rear diff right now but as I've been thinking about selling my DRZ-400 I've been eyeing them a bit. My Dana 35 I have now isn't giving me any trouble but in the grand scheme of things I'd like to go to 35" tires eventually. Anyways on to my question...

    Anyone use Instagram?

    If so what's your instagram handle? I'm @Dave.does I could use some more Jeep people to follow. I don't use facebook any longer but I try and post pictures on IG when I do something cool.

    Installing AC, should I replace heater core?

    Like the title says I'm installing a Jeep Air AC kit this weekend and I'm wondering if I should replace the heater core while I'm in there? I'm assuming it has the OE Mopar unit in there now with 150k miles on it but it isn't leaking. Seems like mopar replacements aren't available and...

    Recommend me a Dana 35 diff cover

    Can anyone recommend a cover or guard for a Dana 35? Mine is a little tweaked and has started leaking again. I’d like to replace it but not sure what the best option is.

    Do you have bumpy road squeak?

    For the longest time I had a squeak that only happened on bumpy roads and it was driving me nuts. I thought it may have been coming from behind the dash somewhere but it wasn't. One day when getting out of the Jeep my now wife slammed her door a little bit harder than usual and I heard the...

    Daytime Running Light Defeat

    I got some knock off Truck Lites for xmas this past year and I've been getting flashed during early morning drives into work. I think it's time to tackle the reduced voltage high beam daytime running lights that came on my Jeep that originated in Canada. I've heard many times that you just...

    The where did you go in your Jeep thread

    Ok guys I searched but didn't find a thread like this so I started one. Lets see the pics, where did you go in your Jeep? Figure this would be a good spot to share our recent trips with each other. I took the fiance and dog up above Camp Nelson, CA this Sunday for a little drive. There was...

    Crappy billing practices

    Just venting a bit here. I took my mom out for Mother's Day dinner to Red Lobster on Friday night along with my girlfriend. It's not my first choice, and certainly won't be my next choice for a dinner out. She likes it though and it made her happy. Anyways, for the three of us the bill was...
