    First off road experience after re-gearing

    So after driving the jeep with 33's and 3.07's for a year I finally re-geared a couple weeks ago. There is no doubt that you can run 33's with 3.07's but it was a dog. On the roads around town I would seldom even use 4th gear, on the highway I still never touched 5th (unless downhill with a tail...

    Flea market finds

    Found these 2 gems at my local flea market. WW1 trench tool, paid 35 bucks, my buddy offered me 70 for it and I said no, it will be great to have in the jeep. RAE vise, old as the hills, made in Canada. I tried researching the company and I know RAE vise's were made as early as 1915, and...

    Broken Yoke Trail

    I didn't break anything, it is the name of the trail I did yesterday. 2nd run with the Jeep club, and man, it was a test. Thoroughly impressed with the way my jeep handled it though, no issues at all. Super tight trail and came close to getting the windshield frame into a tree more than once...

    Come for a drive through Blue Mountain

    took these video's today, such a beautiful place full of blueberry fields. Might be a tad boring to watch but will give you a feel for the landscape around here. This is only about 20 minutes from my house.

    Took some time but I am there

    So after back surgery in May, having the jeep and not being able to work on it like I would have wanted, I am finally to the point where I can (and have been). Still a few minor things I need to take care of but I trust it enough to get out in the woods. After Saturdays marathon run I got out...

    Me: 1, Spare Tire: 0

    nice, tried taking the spare tire off and discovered that the top stud holding it on broke free and was just spinning, tried my best to try and hold it to no avail, nothing a sawzall won't fix. it was so rusted out that using a punch and a chisel I was able to free the stud from the housing.

    Another re-gearing question

    First question, 2004 TJ stock gearing, 3.73 or 3.07(?) or was either an option? The tags are not attached to the diff cover and I have yet to pop off the diff cover to have a look. Jeep is a dog on the road with the 33's. Second question, if I wanted to go with 4.10 gears and it has 3.07's will...

    -2 degree camber and adjustable ball joints

    Well, this sucks. I replaced the ball joints and noticed the camber was off on the passenger side front wheel. Took it to the alignment shop and sure enough it is out negative 2 degrees. The drivers is out to but not near as bad. My question is: Is there an adjustable ball joint available that...

    Hub and axle reassembly

    Guys, something strange I need help with. I replaced both upper and lower ball joints on the passenger side today. After I reinstalled the axle and the hub I spun the axle nut on with my dewalt impact gun (18 volt and not that powerful) thinking I would put it on semi tight, get everything...

    Getting the shop setup

    finally able to do a few things after almost 3 weeks out from surgery. Shop is starting to look like a shop now. With the help of my daughter I was able to get a workbench built. and a buddy dropped over and was kind enough to carry out some of my tools for me. I made the welding cart...
