    Earbuds: Apple or otherwise?

    I have a set of original version Apple AirPod earbuds and a set of original version Airpod pro’s. (Both given to me as gifts)After using both for years, I don’t like either set for different reasons. (I also have a set of wired headphone earbuds as backups) The OG Airpods aren't noise...

    Compact trail gear

    I wanted to make a spot for compact trail gear (see my first couple of posts for a bunch of links) that makes the most of the space we have in these wee rigs. Especially with the rear seat in place like we usually run. Realistically, we're not campers anymore due to some injuries my wife...

    Larger than stock fuel tanks: Thoughts and experiences welcome

    I go back and forth about having a larger than stock fuel tank installed in place of the stock 19 gallon tank. 5-10 gallons over stock is what i've seen. Some offer a similar footprint as the stock tank and some seem to be a bit bigger than stock. I'm setup to easily carry something like a 5...

    Hard top lift ideas

    Common question, but we’re looking for top lift tools. here’s the problems: can’t use my garage rafters as a hoist base since they’re old and non-structural, but the bigger issue is that it’s an old house and the jeep doesn’t fit inside (so we’d be forced to just carry it inside anyways) Have a...

    Bit of a confession

    Sooooo, Anyone else here buy their TJ with the utmost, heartfelt intent to IMMEDIATELY go and do hardcore off-road stuff, and then realize that simply driving down the road, or to work, or to the nearest dirt road...is pretty damn fun, in and of itself? More extensive off-roading is definitely...

    Python alarm - replacement remote source

    Good morning y'all, Just wanted to provide a resource for folks running an alarm system like we are. My system is a Python 460HP and while it works great, we were only given one remote when we bought it. I had in the back of my mind that I'd want to get a few more fobs for the extra sets of...

    Need a grease recommendation for my new lock-n-lube mini gun

    It takes 3 oz tubes. What do you like, what do you use? And also for socal weather, what should my cadence be for all my long arm, steering link and other chassis points be? Thanks!

    Bestop Safari top: good results with an LJ top on a TJ

    We installed a used Bestop Bikini top that we bought off Craigslist over the Christmas holiday that was made for a TJ with a normal factory cage setup. While it worked ok, it left something to be desired from a length point-of-view, probably due to the RockHard4x4 family cage kit pushing it "up...

    Greetings (on a Jeep hunt)

    Greetings y'all. Name is Brian and i'm from So-Cal. I'm headed back to the Jeep world having given 2.5 years to another brand who shall remain nameless. :D Honestly, it was a great rig, but it wasn't a jeep and was biased too heavily towards on-road use even with some extensive mods. I have had...
