    Good news from the wife!

    The good news is that I have the green light by "The Family Accountant" to get the gear change on my TJ! YAY! 🎉🎆 I have done gear swaps before but, to be frank, it was back when I was quite a bit younger with a lot more time and less "expendable" cash. So these days, I'm thinking that I'll...

    Texas ride pics and videos

    Figured I'd make a thread for ride pictures and videos here in Texas. We have a "Texas Jeepers!" thread but it seemed to me to that a great many members might not be following that thread and one dedicated to just the shots and vids from our Texas rides might have a pretty broad appeal. Anyone...

    How to: troubleshooting blower (heater fan) problems

    If anyone finds any errors in this write-up, please let me know. Thanks. I'm hoping this will be a good general guide for troubleshooting A/C / Heater blower failure issues so I'm making it pretty thorough. Note: if you're fan runs only at high speed or just some of the higher speeds, it's...

    Better than a Trasharoo? Super easy how-to

    Was looking at the options for a trash carrier and, seemed to me, there really are not too many viable options other than the Trasharoo So I started looking at it and reading reviews. What I found was what seemed to be a trend where people liked the idea but were not impressed with the...

    Will the stock 2006 TJ power steering pump support the Hydro-Boost?

    This is almost certainly a question for @mrblaine. Thinking about getting the Hydro-boost but want to be sure my stock PS pump will handle it with the stock gearbox and no add-on assist unit.

    Question for the brake guru (and anyone else who has an opinion)

    I replaced the pads on the back of my '06 Rubi and, as I always do, was careful to replace the brake pad sliders/slippers (stainless steel caps that go on the ends of the steering knuckle where the edges of the brake pads ride) so that things continue to run smoothly. However, I am now working...

    Scam attempts on my Craigslist posting (funny a-holes)

    This should be a fun little exercise. I've already gotten a few scam messages to my Craigslist posting to sell my 2001 TJ that made me laugh. For educational and instructional purposes, I think I'll post them here. The story is real but the names have been changed to protect the innocent (like...

    The Ravines and Canyons are my two favorite OE TJ wheels and I've been watching CL for a while hoping for a good deal. Well, I recently snagged a set of 5 Ravines that are mostly in very good condition for $130 with center caps. One has some curb rash but is "redeemable" with some filing...

    Endoscope / borescope suggestions

    Been considering buying an Endoscope / borescope for a while and wondered if anyone had one they liked; especially if they have used it to good effect for scoping Wrangler frames for rust. I'm eyeing this one at the moment. Thanks, Teej

    A few questions for the Guri (plural of Guru :))

    Hoping to have the orange '01 99% ready to sell after this weekend but have been daydreaming/planning for work on the '06 and have racked up a few question for the TJ sages: 1) Is it a bad idea to do an MML without a BL? I appear to have some amount of tummy-tuck (really need to get some...

    What sex is your TJ?

    I have owned, gosh...quick count...maybe a dozen or more vehicles in my life. Each one has had its own personality and I've always ended up, in my own mind, assigning a gender to it based on that personality. My question is, what gender do you think your TJ is. And, as an aside, what is your...
