    Take A Gear, Give a Gear

    With apologies for borrowing from a thread I saw on another forum . . . I just replaced the speedo gear in my '04 LJ with a 31 tooth gear. I'm offering up the factory 34 tooth gear that came out of it. My only ask is you pay it forward and offer your old one to the next person.

    Zamboni Guts

    In case you kids were interested in the guts of a Zamboni. I'm on the board of directors for my local rink and subsequent figure skating club (because after a wife and two daughters I don't have enough to argue about with a bunch of women). I don't go to the back area often but today I did and...

    LJ Trunk Enclosure

    I realize that trying to secure a Jeep is a futile attempt against someone who truly wants in. I am interested though in making it a little more challenging for the casual passerby who is interested in whatever I have lying around in the back of my LJ. Especially since I run topless most of...

    Front/Rear Seat Carpet - '05 LJ/TJ

    I have the front and rear seat carpet from my '05 LJ sitting in a box waiting to be shipped. Total cost is a $25 donation to @Chris in my name and you pick up the shipping costs. They're out of a 12 year old Jeep so don't expect perfect but they've held up really well. They are missing the...

    The Other "Jeeps" in WWII

    In the thread “Former / Active Duty Military Members Roll Call” (and again, a personal thank you to each and every one of you that served and defended our country) I mentioned that my Granddad was the Navigator and, eventually, the XO on the USS Corregidor (CVE-58) in the Pacific theater. These...

    Will this buff out?

    A large eucalyptus tree fell on a TJ (and assorted other cars) the other day in Lafayette, CA (just east of Oakland). I wonder if the frame is still good? And the view from the other side . . . Can @Jay and @FF_Jeep account for where they were on the 23rd????? ;-) Here's the full news...

    Could worn brake pads or rotor issues exacerbate death wobble?

    I was wanting to ask the greater team on the thoughts of brakes being a potential cause of death wobble. The only time I've experienced anything close it happened a few times over a couple of weeks and typically was at highway speeds. Coincidentally (and not as a let's see if this fixes it...
