    2005 TJ — Hard top challenges

    I have a 2005 TJ with a hard top. When I purchased the Jeep 3 years ago it had the hard top already on it. I later found out that this Jeep was NOT built with a hard top but instead, only a soft top. I do know that the correct year hard top is on the Jeep. Soon after I bought the Jeep, I...

    Choccolocco Mountain Off-Road Park, Alabama (a fun weekend)

    A few weeks ago I took some flat landers from Florida to Choccolocco Mountain Off Road Park in Jacksonville, AL. You see, Florida flat landers see nothing more than small rises in terrain; so any place with hills and rocks is completely foreign. We spent a fun few days and everyone had a...

    Installing a 3.0 dual USB plug / voltmeter

    I have several items that are recharged or powered by a USB plug and the TJ doesn't have a USB plug.

    I have a 2005 TJ, 4.0 automatic with 143,000 miles. The TJ was bone stock when I got it a year ago; not so much now. I have put about 6,000 miles on it. Today while out wheeling with some friends, I took the wrong path and went a really deep mud hole. Completely covered the winch and front...

    Product Review: Stable Seat

    I could not find any discussion about this product, so I thought I would give a review. The product is called Stable Seat. The front seats in my TJ rock back and forth about a 1/4 of an inch. This amount seems small but by the time the small movement makes it way up through the seat, the...
