    QSlim vs Pitboss

    Perfect day for some ribs amirite? Well, they’re in the oven. The ol’ Pitboss has been acting shitty lately - fluctuating temps, lost the flame a couple of times. Cleaned out the firebox, seemed to be doing alright until today. Wouldn’t light. Took the grills off, the firebox was empty...

    My Bestop Is Torn!

    Took the TJ out for a spin yesterday, heard some air & flapping noises from the back. Pulled over to check it out & the damn top ripped at the corner at the rear window channel! It’s 2 & 1/2 years old, I emailed Bestop with photos & my receipt and I heard back from them in about 20 mins. A...

    Samsung Fridge Won't Dispense Water

    The fridge won't dispense water. Serious Class A emergency. It's weird. It'll work sometimes, then for a period it'll quit. I thought part of the water line was freezing inside the cabinet, so I raised the fridge temp to 42 and it worked for a few weeks until it didn't. Now it barely works at...

    Shop Air Compressor

    I need a better compressor, I think 20 gallons around 5-6 CFM would do the trick for almost everything I do. Typically air tools, I don't paint, my little die grinders are the highest demand tool that use. One of my pals at work won't shut up about his California Air that he got because it's...

    Video of the Blue Angels Pre-Flight Rehearsal

    Interesting article & video of how the Blue Angels visualize their routine prior to the show. When we were in FL we'd take the boat over to Pensacola bay to watch the airshow, it was an amazing day. Show center was the water tower on the beach so the whole thing happened right over the water &...

    We’re number one! We finally did it!

    It’s been a long time coming but I just want to thank all the fires raging in California & Oregon for making the air quality in the Salt Lake Valley the WORST IN THE WORLD 🙏🔥🔥🥇🥇🥇. I live 7 miles away from a 9k” range and couldn’t even tell you if the mountains are there or not...

    Banging Around the Salt Lake Valley

    Went with a pal of mine from work down to his dad's house near Lehi, UT. They both run Land Cruisers so I was the odd duck. Gave 'em shit all day even though I love the -80 series. We signed up for a BOAR Off-Road trail cleanup event. It was irritating. They said the trail runs were from 9am...

    Saturday Car Show

    I do this car show every year, Sounds of Freedom Festival in Layton, Utah. Great time, military themed with a nice flag ceremony... Somehow they're able to raffle off firearms even though raffles are illegal in this state... They were very careful about their language. Anyway I thought I'd share...

    My Wife Has the Bug

    After having such a blast in Moab this past week & making summer plans for other wheeling trips here around N Utah & Idaho my wife has really gotten into it. I casually mentioned to her that her Lexus GX460 could easily do a lot of the same trails that we take the TJ on with just a few mods. I...

    Why do my front control arms rotate after driving?

    Is this of any consequence? I line them up but after driving for a bit they always end up rotated. Is something out of alignment? The jam nuts are tight & both ends of the arms are lined up.

    The SOS Thread (Broken Stuff, Need Help)

    I thought the other day that it might be a good idea to have a thread like this, didn’t think I’d be the one with a reason to start it. Wrong line down Baby Lions Back: Now what?

    I have lots of nuts

    Headscratcher for the day: Went to Fastenal today to replace the 9/16 bolts on my front lowers because I need them to be longer to accommodate the JJ washers. Told her I need two but they only sell in bags of 5. I said that's fine, I also need a couple of grade 8 nuts with the nylon lockers...

    Pop quiz: where does this interior part go?

    Just put everything back together after a heater core change & apparently I threw this in my back seat during disassembly. At this point I’m just curious I guess. Piece of foam that looks like it caps something.

    Performance Radiator Brand Radiators

    I've seen some good reviews on here about Performance Radiator's heater cores, I have one on the bench I'm about to install. In the process of replacing my fan clutch today I found a hairline crack in the top case of my radiator along with some slight wetting. I remember the PO telling me that...

    Moab MTB

    We're bringing the mountain bikes along this time, looking for some trail guidance. My boy got his first 24" last year, we've been tearing up N Utah - nothing too tough though as he's still learning. Any experienced Moab MTBers here that can suggest some easy to moderate trails that a 9 year old...

    Passenger front Johnny joint adapter isn’t flush to axle

    I cut off the front right UCA mount to install the rock jock kit and the bracket isn’t sitting flush to the axle. The instructions in the kit say to weld around the top of the factory bracket, then on the bottom where it sits on the axle tube. I have it in the flush, it’s at the same position...

    What do I need for curb ramps?

    I have a screwy driveway, it’s only as wide as my garage. I also have an RV pad on the side where I keep my car carrier, but the driveway doesn’t cover that area - it’s just a curb. I want to put down some plates as a ramp to get the truck up to get the trailer & whatever else. What thickness...

    Don’t be like me and fuck up your LCA mount

    Oh I’m so mad. I was able to hammer the other bolt right through. This one not so much.

    Low Profile Zerk Fittings

    These came with my Core 4x4 arms, I do t have any experience with them. Are they worth using? What gun head do you use with them?
