    Savvy Under Armor / Skid Plate Install Write-Up

    I decided to document the install of the Savvy modular under armor on my 2005 LJ Rubicon to show the issues I ran into and how I worked them out. This write-up is not intended to be an instruction manual: the install of the MUA is pretty straight forward. As a result of the install, several...

    Meet Seattle Police Department's first openly transgender cop

    Saw this today on the news. So he's their first transgender cop... I have no issue with whatever gender you want to be. However, why are these people congratulating him for it?

    AC Tune-Up

    My TJ has been on the road for just under 8 years now and although the vents still blow cold air, I can tell it's not as cold as it once was. Since my A/C was blowing cool air, I expected no major problems with the system. If I had a significant leak of any kind, there would be no cool air at...
