I noticed a spot on the floor in my garage indicating a small leak from somewhere. I did a little investigating and it seems that it's coming from the bottom of the front driver's side shock. The color and consistency of the liquid is light yellow, and feels a little oily. I searched a bit and...

I recently put on a winch plate on my stock bumper and that meant I can no longer use the factory front tow hooks and still fit with my stock fog lights. I’ve been looking at the thin width hooks and they will work. But I wanted ones that stick out the least possible. I have bumper pads so...

I recently installed amp and a sub under my back seat. The sub just barely fits under the seat. As in, the fabric on the bottom of the seat clears the sub but about 1/2” on the front, but sits right on the sub enclosure in the back. It’s the soft part of the seat, so its not the metal frame...

I’m looking to get new speakers for my Jeep. I’ve been looking at the Polk DB 522. I also saw the Polk MM 522. However, they are more than twice the price of the DB’s ($149/pr vs $59/pr). Does anyone have any experience as to whether the MM’s are worth the price?

I have full metal doors, and a hard top. I frequently get a squeak from the passengers side when I go over any sort of bumps in the road. If I grab the passenger door handle and pull it a little tighter, the squeak stops. So, it seems related to how the door and hard top are connecting. I...

For a long time now (1+ years), my steering wheel makes a squeaking noise when it's cold. The sound is from inside the car, not outside. It happens less when it's warmer. I haven't really tried to debug where it is yet, but I thought I'd ping here in case someone knows the answer already...

This morning I saw these tires on a Jeep. Looks totally out of proportion, IMO. Was this a stock option? Or did they pay extra to do that aftermarket?

I have had an intermittent leak in my radiator for a while now. Sometimes it happens regularly, sometimes it doesn’t happen for weeks at a time. The leak manifests itself in showing antifreeze pooling in the bottom of the radiator shroud. If it’s leaking and the engine is running, I also...

I'm running stock bumpers, and don't have any impact pads on the front. If someone has a pair, I'd be interested.

I just upgraded to 33 x 10.5 tires on my TJ and am trying to find the best option to mount it on the factory spare tire holder. I have factory Gambler rims which are 15 x 8 with 5.5” backspacing. The older 30 x 9.5 factory spare fit perfectly with these rims and right against the snubbers. I...

Part of my TJ build includes getting new tires to replace my current 15 (!) year old ones. I’ve read a lot of threads on 31’s vs 33’s. I know I would like the look of the 33’s more because of the extra height, and I can fit them with my current lift upgrade plans. But I really don’t *need*...

I’ve been preparing to start installing my OME 2” lift kit (OMETJHKS) and was reading through the installation instructions and it talked about installing rear bump stop extenders (which are included in the kit. However, I am also installing a Savvy 1.25” body lift. I thought I remember reading...

Chapter 1 - The Early Years My TJ build story started decades ago, and very much continues through today... Growing up, I had always wanted a Jeep, but the stars never aligned for me to get one. It wasn't until I was in my 20's that I got my first one when I had the means (i.e. $$$) and the...

I am planning to do some modifications to my 1997 Wrangler TJ Sport 4.0L. I would love to get some opinions of whether I am on the right track. I've read a bunch of threads already on similar modifications, and there isn't a shortage of opinions, which is great, but they don't always agree...
