    Looking for the part name for the little black push on washers with the “teeth” that bite into a plastic mounting stud. The parts bin at my local Home Depot was no help. Thx!

    Hello All, Looking to get some new tires for my Son's 2wd 98XJ. Looking at Discount Tire so he has a Nationwide tire place for rotations and such. Currently he is running 235/75r15, BFG KO2s, but neither of us have been really impressed with the wear or the wet weather traction. When I key...

    Bestop SuperTop NX Impressions

    My 17 year old Lj was in need of a replacement top and having been a repeat customer of Bestop's over the years on CJs, YJs, and TJs didnt hesitate to order from them again. I also figured I would get the full replacement frame. I didnt really need a frame, and my factory one was in perfect...

    Just removed my old stock swaybar and starting in on the AR install. any trick to the bushing install. Started on one and it doesn’t want to seat I properly. Chewed up a bit of the plastic so filed that down. Should it seat fairly easy or will it deform enough to sit in properly?

    Jeep XJ 2.5

    I always seem to be on the prowl for a clean 2 door XJ with manual window cranks. Most of these stripped down XJs are 2.5 liter equipped. Is it as much of a dog in the XJ as i recall it was in my YJs? Is the earlier model 2.8 v6 as bad as its reputation online?

    Another Shock Thread

    Noticed Thursday while my Jeep was on the lift getting new unit bearings that my back, passenger Rancho 9000xl is leaking. I’ve had these shocks since 2014 with around 25k miles. Can’t find my receipt or where I bought them so I’m left with either replacing that shock and probably the other...

    Continued chirp on my 05 4.0

    [Apologies for the incoming WALL OF TEXT] Hello all, coming back around for more troubleshooting support for my intermittent "chirp" issue on startup. This issue used to mainly occur in the cold temps, but now seems more consistent with just about any cold startup of the engine. This chirp...

    What did you do to your non-TJ Jeep today?

    Hit a salvage yard this weekend that had a perfect front passenger XJ fender in the same color code my Son’s Jeep needed. 2nd week driving last year a lady backed right into him. Also scored a fully functional overhead console with wiring harness for $15. Overall a nice haul. Cleaned up and...

    Love the 4.0 until I turn on the A/C

    Heading into the office this am, weather was ok so windows down and just loving rowing through the gears, enjoying the ride and loving my Rubi 6 speed. Get off work and it’s raining and humid, windows up, and AC engaged to make the happy little 4.0 completely gutless and not as much fun to...

    New thoughts on 33s after the weekend

    Hey all. Don't want to hash out another 33 vs 35 tire post, but one thing I've noticed lately in the offroad vehicle parks and trails I've been on lately is its getting a lot harder to wheel my 33s. I'm attributing this mainly to parks getting a bit more rutted out from 35 or larger sized...

    How far would you drive to wheel your Jeep?

    Curious how many folks here drive their Jeeps to the trails, play for a weekend and then drive home. I've traveled from my home base in GA to TN, AL, NC and KY so far to play at trails and OHV parks. Longest trip so far was to KY to play at Turkey Bay OHV, around a 6.5 hour drive. Up next...
