    Best price on a Bestop Supertop NX - UPDATE: Bought and Installed!

    Our Sunrider was 100% useless with the side windows removed anyway. Until I added a couple of straps to keep the top from sagging on my head.

    Best price on a Bestop Supertop NX - UPDATE: Bought and Installed!

    Will the LJ side windows fit above the roll bar? I have placed our TJ windows between the top and the roll bar before, but this obviously wouldn't be a good plan if the longer LJ windows sagged down and blocked the rear view.

    Fuel Pump Change

    I did a little bit of digging and Amazon MAY not ship these to CA because of Prop 65. They (CA) doesn't care about the human rights violations of child labor, but they are hell bent on protecting us from the cancer that a fuel pump could cause... For shit sake, it's not like we are planning on...

    Fuel Pump Change

    Now I’ve seen it all. Amazon “can’t” ship a replacement fuel pump to CA. 🤦‍♂️

    They should have charged this guys teeth for evading arrest.

    Woman forced to sell her dream car after paying $40k in interest over 3 years

    I laughed when I read how stupid this woman is.

    3rd Brake Lights? Let's Talk

    I'm actually a fan of the pie-plate rings behind/inside the spare. I have them on both of our Jeeps. On the TJ, it replaced the ET-looking 3rd brake light, and on the JKU it is in addition to the factory 3rd light. I also mounted a pair of inexpensive, white LED pod-type lights on the underside...

    These are my boots. I don't like to brag, but I've still got a bit of boot cred...

    Boots

    Thanks for mentioning Haglund's Deformity, @sab. Until just now, I never knew it was a "condition", I just thought it was my feet. Both of my heels started showing this bump after boot camp. I also wear through that spot on most of my shoes.

    Boots

    I have Thorogood, Irish Setter, Harley (made by Wolverine), Tony LLama, LeHigh, a pair or two that I cannot recall who makes, and even a pair of Vans hiking boots. All have their advantages, drawbacks, etc. BTW, I had thought ALL Thorogoods were made here in the USA, but that is not the case...

    Factory radio value - is this thing worth keeping?

    I think I sold the OEM unit from our 2003 for like $20 with the bezel. I still have the factory head unit from my 2008 Dodge Charger sitting in a garage cabinet. It has a 6-CD changer & a built-in XM tuner w/ my lifetime subscription licensed to it. I can move the license to another receiver...

    Fuel Pump Issues

    I've often wondered if splicing in an additional electric pump between the tank and the intake would help, so long as the original pump is providing ANY pressure, the secondary pump should 'kick in' and keep the pressure up. At least, that's my theory.

    Best price on a Bestop Supertop NX - UPDATE: Bought and Installed!

    I bought our TJ top direct from the website. I bought the Sunrider top for our JKU from Quadratec. They sometimes offer a gift card/credit towards future purchases.

    Trouble starting bad alternator or starter?

    Turn the key to ON for about 5-6 seconds before cranking it. This gives the old pump a chance to build the necessary pressure. Our '03 has this issue at times and this is how we get past it. I'm not a fuel system expert, but it seems almost like there's either a check valve that's not holding...

    Trouble starting bad alternator or starter?

    Or just put a volt meter across the battery posts while it's running and see if you have more than 14VDC. If you have anything less (yes, even 13+), then the alternator is likely the problem.

    WranglerFix or SIA Electronics for ECU repair

    I'm not sure that WF offers an ECU testing and/or repair service, but Mark provided me with a replacement unit programmed for our 2015 that I ended up not needing. His return policy still cost me a bit of cash, but it basically covered the "ECU rental" along with the time and energy for him to...

    TJ seat foam

    Man, I upgraded to '07 seats and Wet Okole seat covers a couple years ago because original foam was NLA and I didn't trust the local shops around me to make a quality replacement. I was worried my seats were going to look like they had suffered a stroke.

    For all of us with two wheels also

    Imagine how the bee felt; flying along minding his own business and then BAM, suddenly he was getting rolled on by a pair of giant, hairy, sweat-covered, meat-sacks. Both of the above are true accounts, with different perspectives. Life isn't so much about "truth", as it is about perspective...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I haven’t had to fix the JKU or the Harley all day, so it’s time to show some love to the ol’ gal… Add to this a retorque of the oil pan and valve cover.
