    My weekend plans in one picture (mostly)

    As for the photo/step-by-step requests, I can't promise anything since I'll be mostly focused on getting my Jeep back in order, but I'll see what I can do to help out.

    My weekend plans in one picture (mostly)

    Interesting. It's something to think about. I considered adding them since my particular area where I live is often prone to flooding and standing water (also why I'm upgrading to lube lockers), I also tend to help out on my families farms which can get muddy at times and I also plan on taking...

    My weekend plans in one picture (mostly)

    Most of the signs point to a bad u-joint. That said, I'll be inspecting everything else down there to ensure it's just that, and not a start or sign of a much bigger problem. And I've already had the thought of buying a Craigslist Dana 30 to rebuild off to the side while I run my current one. I...

    My weekend plans in one picture (mostly)

    The left front u-joint is pretty much shot as it's making the angry sparrows noise. Also picked up a pair of Lube Locker gaskets for the front and rear since I'm in the area, might as well. Little by little I'll get there.

    Replacement Decal/Paint Mask Query

    There are a few basic masks I've seen out on the market here and there. This being one of them: http://hotrodworks.net/decal/maskkit.html That said, a lot of them appear to be basic hotrod stuff (scallops or flames) or someones custom made creation where they never say where they got it done...

    Replacement Decal/Paint Mask Query

    When I first got my Jeep I wasn't entirely sold on the hood decal, but it's kind of grown on me and while there's a fair amount of Wranglers in my area (with a good sprinkling of other TJ's), have yet to spot another Apex. It's been a real head turner around here to be honest. As my first year...

    Why is there water on the passenger floor?

    This post seems surprisingly relevant. We've had some pretty heavy rain storms last few months and have noticed my passenger side looking fairly wet on the floor area. Pulled up the carpeting to find sitting water (and some fresh rust...crap). Looks like I'll be sitting through the next heavy...

    Getting cracking on cracks: Fixing cracks in door panel and hardtop

    I actually haven't checked that yet, thanks for the heads up. As luck would have it I work at a plastics factory and I just might be able to score some scrap plastic to use as a welding agent if its the right stuff.

    Getting cracking on cracks: Fixing cracks in door panel and hardtop

    Saw this linked to the previous one. Went into my bookmarks. Might give this one a try over the other as it seems like this kind of fix will hold up a bit more over the years. It kind of looks like someone tried the silicone fix with the center console, didn't end well.

    Getting cracking on cracks: Fixing cracks in door panel and hardtop

    As the months go by as I own my Jeep, I'm beginning to pick out the items I want to eventually replace, repair, or modify. One of the more obvious items that get my attention are the cracks in various parts. Mainly the passenger door panel and the hard top, though it wouldn't be complete without...

    New-ish owner, first time poster

    Bought a 2002 Jeep Wrangler X - Apex edition (day after purchase photo included in post) a few months back and have been enjoying it ever since. Figured I'd join the forum officially after lurking around for a few months. Currently in mostly stock form (from what I can tell). For now I'm just...
