I'm toying with some ideas on fabbing an AR400 skid plate, similar to that on the Currie 60, for my D44s. I've worked a bit with the AR400/500 steels in the past. The AR400 is slightly formable if you use very large radius bends, and I'm not sure my 20T press has the juice to do it, so I may...

This is the best price I've ever seen on the underbody light: https://www.toolnut.com/milwaukee-2126-20-m12-underbody-light-bare-tool.html?trk_msg=D5SMH71RL324V5EON5HCJD3IPG&trk_contact=7QH8M2RGQC66M4E2ITD7R46D78&trk_sid=L8MQ1UFBOL1MDOMFVP8KI3APVC&trk_link=HOC640TJ5S84DFOTRDBRMG60A4

I bought a new-in-box 2003-2006 TJ-specific sPOD kit from another member here recently, but all I wanted was the switch mounting panels (I already have an auxiliary PDC on my LJ). I replaced the TJ-specific switch panels with a generic aluminum panel from Amazon and re-mounted the switches in...

My LJ has a pronounced rear passenger-side lean with the long-arm Rubicon Express installed by the previous owner. I have a big stack of parts awaiting the start of my build, and these include the 4" Rock Jock LJ springs and their standard bump stops. I recently discovered Rock Jock's ACOS...

This recent post by @bbaldwin237 got me wondering if there's a how to on finding small leaks in the tires of our TJs. I searched and didn't find one, so I wrote this up. Slow leaks are usually one of three things: a nail or screw in the tire, a leaky valve stem (at the base) or core, or a...

I posted in the "What did you do to you other vehicle today" thread a couple weeks ago that the Northstar (Batteries Plus' X2 version) battery in my Expedition falled at 11 months. Fortunately, Batteries Plus replaced it without question (after testing it, of course). That got me wondering...

$2000 for an internal shift boot. Really? https://www.ebay.com/itm/155780026603?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5337789113&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

After installing the Off Road Only York compressor kit on my 2005 LJ, the factory belt routing decal on the radiator was no longer correct. I made a new version and ordered a minimum order from an online vinyl decal company. I have extras and will share them at no cost to you. See jjvw's ORO...

Sad day here at the sab homestead. Roxy, our loyal outside guardian for 15 years, had to be put down this morning. Her rear legs just didn't work so good for her anymore, and life was 100% struggle. I've spent all day digging (if using a jackhammer can be considered digging) a hole in this...

Here's a great deal on the 10pc set: https://www.acmetools.com/milwaukee-10pc-torque-lock-locking-pliers-kit-48-22-3690/045242500154.html With the "DADSDAY" coupon (expires June 9, 2023) and free shipping, it works out to about $11 per pliers (plus use tax, if that applies)! I've been...

I recently fell into a great price on a lightly used B&M 45195 shifter for the NSG370, but because it's used, it didn't come with a gasket. I'm having a horrible time trying to find a replacement gasket. It's simple enough to cut one out of Fel-Pro material myself, but if anyone knows the...

Last year, when I plumbed my shop for air, I used RapidAir air lines and fittings, and it was great stuff to work with. Somewhere during this plumbing project, I found out about an inflator they sell. It's pricey, so I've had my eye on it, but didn't immediately buy one. Recently, I saw the...

With the demise of the OEM cam sensor, TJ owners needing to replace a faulty cam sensor will soon be left with no option other than using an aftermarket sensor. Aftermarket sensors have horrible reputations on this forum, and the intent of this thread is to present some information that may help...

BUZZKILL ALERT: I hadn't tested my changes prior to writing this. @LONGJP2 mentioned in another thread that making these changes doesn't actually change anything. I went out and tested it, and there is nothing I can do to get the changes to work! The sequence below results in a screen saying...

Does anyone know if the OEM wire frames for the half door uppers changed through the years? I looked at all the parts lists, and the wire frames don't have a separate part number. The part numbers for the black uppers changed from 1997 to 1998, from 1999 to 2000, from 2000 to 2001, from 2002...

Hopefully it's appropriate to post this in this forum. I got a notification from Woot that they are selling the Midland 6db antenna very cheap...

I'm looking for a set of OEM half-door upper frames, or frames with Khaki uppers.

I just got this in an email - pretty funny!

Last night after work, I was using an M18 angle grinder with a wire brush to prepare some columns for the shop mezzanine I'm building for primer. It was about 100°F outside. I was using 6Ahr and 8Ahr High Output batteries. The columns are 3-1/2" square tubing about 9' long. I couldn't even...
