    Please Learn From My Lack of Proper Insurance Coverage (Please Read)

    I wish you the best of luck. The biggest challenge with any modified vehicle is understanding that the majority of carriers do not cover aftermarket modifications on first party coverage. If they do, they offer it as a separate coverage with minimal limits (I've seen $3500 max). If you're in a...

    NP231 doubler / crawlbox

    if you're cruising too low in the rpm, you're not in optimal power band and lugging the engine. There's a sweet spot at cruise load and rpm where the engine is producing optimal power at cruise and load...and your gearing + tires + overdrive is below that.

    Has anyone considered a Ford Ecoboost swap in a TJ?

    Any of those ecoboost swaps will be tremendously expensive compared to just doing an LS with a 4L60E. the LS will still get good mileage and tons of usable power. Don't get me wrong. I have a 3.5 ecoboost F150 that I haul a 9,000lb travel trailer with. I've upgraded the intercooler and had it...

    4.0 Dyno Comparisons: Newcomer Racing

    the S2000 in stock form never responded well to bolt ons. It was very common for 95% of the aftermarket intakes on that motor to LOSE power on the dyno instead of gain. chasing N/A power is always a more expensive exercise than boost. Especially when you're not talking big-block V8s. IMO a...

    it's a well-known fact that everything infrastructure-related and more in the south, especially FL, suffers because of piss poor planning coupled with tax rates too low to support keeping up with the growth. You're from Maine. You have zero idea what it's like here now. Spend some time on...

    How do new Jeep owners afford them?

    Nobody is having trouble finding work. The job market is FLOODED with opportunities. Don't let certain wings of the media fool you. People are paying cash for homes now because prices are so high, they can't finance because the homes won't appraise to asking price. (you should know that being a...

    Can I tow this camper behind my TJ?

    it should start with people reading the owner's manual of the half-ton truck which clearly describes how payload plays a bigger part in "what you can tow". Nothing like seeing Jimbo in his chevy 1500 with his wife and 2 kids and 2 dogs, hauling a 30' 5th wheel, likely busting payload by 1500lbs...

    My '03 Freedom Edition

    Really got out on the road today and put some miles on it. No death wobble! I set things up properly, as it would seem. More squirrely than stock, but I expected that. Still, much better than I thought it would be. And just fun.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    replaced a u-joint in the front driveshaft. First one I've ever done. Not nearly as bad as I thought. Measured for rear shocks. I'm being lazy.
