    Is the Steinjager front track bar any good?

    We put a 4” lift on our TJ, and did the track bar relocation, and it is clunking, so I’m looking at adjustable track bars. Is the SteinHager decent?? any other reasonably priced ones you’d recommend?

    Any suggestions on alternatives to Harbor Freight jackstands?

    They had a recall because they were dropping cars on people, then the replacements had a recall also. So I’m a little leery of HF now.

    Any suggestions on alternatives to Harbor Freight jackstands?

    Not really sure. I use them about once a year, but don’t want to drop the Jeep on myself.

    I use a Big Green Egg, and really like it. They are very versital, you can smoke at 250, or sear a steak at 800. I've smoked for 16 hours and still had fuel left, their efficiency is amazing. I haves started cheating and using a Flameboss temperature controller. The flame boss is cloud based...

    My fear is the ol truck breaking down late at night pulling an 8000lb camper. Am I putting my wife and kids at risk. With one kid starting college in the fall, and another one in 2 years, the budget will tight.

    Would 3 TJs be crazy

    I bought a TJ a little over a year ago, it was my 3rd jeep, I'd had a CJ, and a YJ, but sold them because I needed different types of daily drivers. The TJ was an extra car just for fun. Well my 18 year old daughter really liked it so I ended up buying her a TJ, so we had 2. My son turned 16...

    Best soft top?

    I've got a Bestop on my TJ, and my daughter has a Rugged Ridge that the previous owner put on it, and you can tell the Bestop is much nicer. Fabric is twice as thick. The zippers are much bigger on the Bestop etc. you will spend more on the Bestop, but it will be worth it

    What is your favorite vehicle that you've ever owned?

    Retirement

    Start as early as you can, the compounding of interest will make huge differences down the road. Also like others have said when you get a raise have it payroll deducted into savings, and you won't miss it. Also if you have any debt, get it paid off, and have those payments direct deposited...

    1979 CJ-7 had a 304 w 3spd. Had headers and duals on it. It was a beast, and a ton of fun.

    Advice from RV owners out there?

    We've got a 2016 Forest River travel trailer, and the build quality is not great. Also it is one of the Ultra-lites, so they try to save weight, and that has been part of the problem. The plywood on the seat of the dinette was the thinnest plywood I've ever seen. My daughter put her knee on...
