    TJ towing a boat

    No reason to push manufacturer specifications. I think people push the envelope when sticking to the ground, but I'd imagine they wouldn't push weight or size limitations in a boat or in a plane... 🤔

    New Crate Engine Oil After Break-In

    I had an S&J engine put in my TJ last year. After my initial 500 miles I started running conventional 10w-30.

    Transfer case lever doesn't feel like it's connected to anything

    The factory linkages are really garbage. Hard to tell without pictures. I'd look into a cable shifter from Savvy. https://savvyoffroad.com/product-category/jeep-wrangler-1997-2006/shifters/

    Taking Calls on Loud Speaker

    So back to the topic: I have a Bluetooth head unit and an external mic in my tj. People tend to complain about background noise when I take a call on the road. I keep a pair of Samsung galaxy buds on me for that. The audio quality for both parties is much better. I can be on the highway at...

    MXT275 or MXT575?

    I didn't realize the 575 was a thing. Pretty cool that it has similar features as the 275. Midland seems to be the go to if all you are doing is setting up for limited repeater use and mostly simplex communication, but.... I've been eyeing this model for a bit as it would be easier to program...

    MXT275 or MXT575?

    I'd say focus on features and not power. For all radio applications like this it's all about having line of sight and having a good antenna (+antenna placement). The MXT 275 seems to be really popular as you can stow the unit away and have full functionality from the mic. I personally have the...

    Any reason I should not run wheel spacers on my Dana 30 and Ford 8.8?

    I ran spacers for a bit when I was still on factory wheels. Proper backspacing on my new wheels helped me get rid of them. Just make sure to locktite and throw a torque wrench on it every so often.

    What happened to kids dating?

    Forums, online sales, details about events, I'm all for it. I've back and forth about deleting all social media. Save conversations so they can happen in person. Also I don't need to know every detail about every second of what is going on in someone's day. I think people need to return to...

    What happened to kids dating?

    I absolutely hate how everything is through text and social media. Nothing seems to be held sacred anymore and there seems to be endless conversations through text--about nothing. By the time you see people there's nothing to discuss.

    Will I survive the Rubicon trail with a stock dana 30 on 33s?

    I'm in the same boat except I'm trying to source a replacement for my Dana 35. I've heard varying answers as to what is necessary for that trail. Following.

    Wanting it bad

    For whatever reason I was hooked on getting a cleaned up Chevy CUCV truck when in High School and College. My first vehicle was a 79 K10... So that probably played a roll in wanting a 1 and a 1/4 ton truck.

    What do I need to do to put 35s on a stock Wrangler TJ?

    When I bought my jeep from my dad it had 31x10.5s on it and it looked pretty good IMO. Fast forward 2 years and I'm in the rabbit hole of trying to run 33s the right way. (Please don't hate for the Patagonia's Purchased before seeing all the disapproval in this forum 😅 ) Put on 31s (they will...
