    Weird electrical gremlin

    I turned on my left turn signal, and my wipers came on. Tried my horn, and both the left turn signal indicator and the wipers came on. WTF?

    What is this and do I need it?

    A squirrel nested in my engine compartment. I cleaned it all out, and this, what appears to be thermal insulation, was separated. Is it something I should replace?

    Aftermarket dash clock?

    My TJ has an aftermarket radio that I barely understand. It does not have a clock. I'd like a small LED clock somewhere on my dash so I don't have to reach for my phone to check the time. Have you done something similar? Any suggestions?

    UTV experts - opinions on this 2014 Kawasaki Teryx 800 LE?

    A few years back I bought a Can-Am ATV. While it is fun, it is not as practical as I first envisioned and I'm looking to get a UTV. I've been holding out for a Kawasaki Mule, but this popped up on FB Marketplace for $8,500. 2014 Kawasaki Teryx 800 LE. One owner only used on our farm. Never...

    At what RPM should I be shifting after re-gearing?

    A heart-warming story of effective Army leadership

    A very old friend of mine recently shared this. It would have taken place around 1985. The first week of Basic the drill sergeant asked if we had any questions. We had one kid who raised his hand. KID: WHAT IF YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE? DS: WHAT? KID: I DIDN’T WANT TO JOIN THE ARMY, BUT...

Three times I've removed/replaced the thermostat housing and it continues to leak. 1. Didn't use RTV for the flush. Noticed a leak but wasn't concerned since I was going to...

    Help identifying engine hardware

    Just noticed that at least two mounting bolts for this black plastic rail along the left side of my engine are missing. Searched the parts manual but I can't find them. Anybody got a PN or other advice?

    Is it just me?

    As I dive deeper into the TJ underworld, I discovered that "other" forum. Seems like many folks over there have a higher asshole propensity. Some of the responses to newbie questions are just shitty and insulting. Am I right?

    How bad is it to drive with a Detroit locker on the rear?

    I'm a cheap SOB and trying to keep my Jeep costs down so I'm looking at auto-lockers as opposed to ARB or e-lockers. Front & rear. I know Jerry swears by Detroit lockers, but he has also said you need to learn how to drive with them. Am I going to regret my decision? What is your experience...

    Broke my cherry in Buena Vista, CO

    Finally took my Jeep out on some "real" trails. My friend Greg is the president of a Jeep club in CO and invited a few of us out last week to explore some trails. He has the Rubicon and another college buddy rented the other maroon JK. I specifically asked for bunny trails since I don't have...

    How to replace broken door glass

    I'm an idiot and broke the glass in my passenger side door glass. Let's just say it was assaulted by my smoker. How do I replace it? Is it a DIY kind of job or do I need to take it to a body shop? Where would one buy replacement door glass?
