    Cool Finds at the World's Longest Yard Sale

    So I took a few hours and went to the Worlds Longest Yard Sale this weekend up near the cabin. I got some new old stock Winchester 32-20 ammo for my Winchester Model 1873, I also got some modern Hornady hunting ammo for my Steyr Model 1895 in 8x56r. But two of the coolest finds were these: I...

    Hood Prop Rod?

    My Jeep came without a hood prop rod. I'm currently using a scrap piece of 1x2. Stupid question: Before I buy a used one off of Ebay for $27 (including shipping) are there new ones available for that price and should I consider some kind of alternative to the OEM?

    Thinking of re-gearing my Jeep

    My Jeep is a 1997 Wrangler with the 4.0 and a 5 speed. It has the dreaded 3.07 gearing. Dana 30 in the front and Dana 35 in the rear (I assume.) I have 265/75-15 tires on it and I doubt I'll go bigger, but may. I have a 2" lift that came with the Jeep, but is not installed. I'm going to add it...

    10 amp Gauge Cluster Fuse Keep Blowing

    I have a fly in the ointment. After I got my Jeep back from the paint shop and I installed the LED tail lights, I have started to have this issue with the gauges. The 10 amp mini fuse in the underhood fuse box keep blowing. Sometimes it will go for an entire day, other times for several days...

    Questions about lift

    When I bought this latest Jeep and 1997 Sport 4.0 it came with tons of extra stuff that I have sold off to recoup some of my investment. One of the extras that it came with was a set of new ProComp 2" lift springs and a set of Moog front swaybar end links. I want to install the springs and I...

    Removing Roll Bar Padding

    I want to remove the roll bar padding on at least the back. No one is going to be riding back there as I have removed the seat and all the associated seat belt hardware. The problem I have is the zippers have started to separate in multiple places and the zipper won't unzip. Any suggestions...

    She's in the paint shop

    My new to me 1997 TJ need some TLC on the fenders and cowl. The clear coat was peeling off. I took it to a couple of insurance type paint shops and both gave me a quote to paint the two fenders and the cowl and both places were about the same at $800 and "It probably won't match." I know...

    Relocating Spare Tire Inside for Fold Down Tailgate

    I want to re-engineer my tailgate to be a true tailgate that folds down and basically turns the back of my TJ into a little mini-truck bed. I will not be running a back seat at all. The reason I'm doing this is because I want to make my Jeep more utilitarian for hauling stuff around the house...

    Un-Fender Flares?

    So there are lots of alternative fender flares for the TJ's, wider, flatter, etc... But if you want to just take your fender flares off and narrow up your TJ all you are left with are a bunch of holes in the side of your Jeep. Does anyone make a set of minimalist fender flares or some kind of...
