    Poll: White letters facing in or out?

    Why does it matter if they are out? Is it really that “flashy”? Mine go out because I don’t see why anyone would care enough about the factory white lettering. I thought once “ it looks neat” and never thought about it again. To each their own. When I see a white letter visible from the inside I...

    How bad is this rust

    Looks better than most Minnesota TJs I see in dealer lots for $10,000+. Rust looks bad but I’ve seen way worse drive for a long long time.

    Who has driven with their windshield down?

    I fold my windshield down for weeks on end if I can, usually only for a few days at a time. It sucks on the highway. Did it once won’t do it again. Got hit in the face several times with rocks. Safety glasses are a must. (That may or may not be obvious, but legally required and smart) Frankly...

    FNX 45

    Going to order an alien gear iwb tuckable holster for it. Crazy? Maybe! But I don’t like OWB holsters without a latch or locking mechanism of some sort to slow someone in taking my gun, as it’s substantially more visible owb, as I don’t often care about it being visible. Range report: Gunshot...

    Jeep jerks to the right when accelerating

    So this is new. My Jeep jerks to the right when I give it gas, and then jerks left when I let off the gas. It is not a smooth or soft pull it is abrupt and hard. It’s hard enough I have to fight it and turn the wheel to stay on course. If I let go of the wheel, going straight, let off gas it...

    FNX 45

    Just picked it up and I absolutely love it. Now to find a good IWB holster for this monster. Very excited to shoot this. Likely will retire my 1911 (cannot find the emoticons anymore? *insert gasp emoticon here*) A big deciding factor for choosing the FN over a USP .45 was the RMR cut on top...

    FNX 45

    Anyone have one of these pistols? Looking at picking one up, 45 acp is easily my favorite caliber. Any opinions, from those that have had them are welcome or shot them. Yes they are large for a pistol. Loaded, they do weigh less than half an oz more than a loaded 1911. And yes I will conceal...

    Why do JK drivers never wave?

    They aren’t real Jeep owners. They buy it for the looks. They are the Soccer Mom hummer 2 owners. Also dealerships don’t tell people about the wave anymore apparently. I was told by a few old timers when they bought their jeeps the dealer told them everyone will wave. I’m not old enough to know...

    Input from TJ daily drivers in cold weather states

    My TJ is my daily driver. I live in Minnesota, and put 200-300 miles a week on it. It has been -50 multiple days this year. No issues. Finally warmed up to around 30*. Only problem I have is when it’s below -15 or so, if the tranny isn’t warm she grinds a bit going into second. I just skip...

    04 5 speed slight grinding

    Okay so I’m glad I’m not the only one with this. I’m assuming the synchro in second is starting to go and the cold is affecting it? I’ll try double clutching till it’s warm. Thanks guys. I am curious if this is “normal” or if this is the beginning of a worm synchro.

    04 5 speed slight grinding

    That seems awful. :(

    04 5 speed slight grinding

    Also it usually only does it if I shift low. Again only when warming up when it’s super cold.

    04 5 speed slight grinding

    I have an 04 5 speed that has just started griding occasionally into second gear. It ONLY does it when it’s cold. It started doing this when it was -40 outside a couple weeks ago. When it has been below about -15 it definitely isn’t easy to shift for a few minutes until it warms up. It also will...

    Smith & Wesson 500: The Gun That Has As Much Firepower As a Rifle

    The .500 SW is one of those “just because we can” calibers. It is great for hunting, not for defense. I’d like to see it in a lever action or something similar.

    2002 Rust Evaluation

    Under the skid it doesn’t look bad. Looks like t needs to get cleaned up but doesn’t look rotten. That’s better than 90% of MN TJs I see that sell for over 10k. 10k here gets a working 115-135k TJ with some rust. 6k here is for a rotten POS. Prices here suck. I got mine for $11,000, with...

    Dana 35 to 8.8 brake lines and abs

    What is the process for converting a disc brake 8.8 to work on a tj? I’ve got a Dana 35, and abs. Obviously drums. Hoping to get my 8.8 ordered sometime soon, already build and welded up for a TJ. Can I keep my Adams cv driveshaft?

    Is an AR rifle really ideal for home defense?

    Yes it absolutely is an ideal weapon for home defense. Compare ballistics and dry wall penetration, etc to any pistol or other rifle caliber and it is absolutely one of the best choices. Only in 5.56 does this apply. Start taking heavier 300 AAC mods or 6.8 through it and it looses many...

    Things that annoy you?

    You’re a good man. No self respecting man should ever drive a Prius! Those are for folks that have given up on life. That was amusing to read as well
