    Thoughts on Optima batteries?

    2003 TJ, not a lot of electrical mods, desert SW Colorado. In the market for a new batt. Thoughts on Optima Red Top 720CCA/910CA, or is the 800CCA/1000CA sufficient? I know a lot of Jeepers recommend the Odyssey, but with a $75 difference, is it really worth it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Axle Identification

I’m a husband that’s been married for 33 years to the same woman (how she’s put up with me is a testament to her, not me) and yet I’m...

    Diamond plate rocker panel fabrication

    I’m definitely not an engineer, but sometimes I think, “I could do that!” Then, I get partway into a job, and I’m totally over my head. After I bought my 2003 TJ, there’s so much room under the hood (AND I BOUGHT A HOUSE WITH A GARAGE THAT HAS A MECHANICS PIT [emoji1346]‍♂️) I’ve been watching...

    33’s on a 2003 TJ with 1.25” body lift.

    Will 33’s fit with NO rubbing on a ‘03 TJ with a 1.25 body lift? I’m running 31’s. It’s my daily driver. I do light wheeling on forest service roads. Nothing crazy, I don’t like when my clutch legs gets the nervous shakes. If 33’s will rub, are 32’s OK? Thanks for the advice! Sent from my iPad...
