    Wrangler JK - If I wanted to perform my own maintenance/repairs, what would I need?

    Unfortunately it takes more than screwdrivers and wrenches on today's vehicles. A good diagnostics computer has been required to find/fix the last two problems I have experienced on my JK. First problem was when my battery died causing the computer to "forget" the accelerator pedal, requiring...

    Wow, nice Jeep. That's an easy one to envy!

    loc pic and cameras

    No dealer flash required. The MyGig Lockpick is plug and play. It's a very easy install that puts the module in line at the back of the radio. Unplug he wiring harness from the radio, plug in the lockpick harness and the plug the radio harness into the lockpick harness. There isn't much room...

    loc pic and cameras

    I have installed the lockpick and have cameras front and rear. The rear camera was ordered from walmart online, $20ish dollars. This I put into the center hub of the spare and routed the cable up to the glove box area where the lockpick module resides. I searched for quite a long time for a...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Finally after two years of ownership, a Rock Krawler 2.5 inch X Factor suspension lift and 35 x 12.50 tires are installed. So happy with the outcome both on and off road. :wings:

    Goodbye TJ, Hello Panda?

    To me the most impressive part of the trip was that they survived passage through Lybia without getting killed.

    Goodbye TJ, Hello Panda?

    Sounds good at the onset of the conversation but after a Google search I really think it would not serve to do any serious offroading and only very short stints of overlanding. I have seen skateboards with bigger wheels and more ground clearance. A small motorcycle would probably be as...

    if you we're given a check for 40k tomorrow, what rig would you build or buy?

    I would finish buying the title for my jeep from the bank and install a 350 hp 350 ci Chevy engine and tranny. If anything was left over it would go into other mods determined by the remaining cash...like a bumper sticker or something. :hehe:

    Vintage Jeep Pictures

    Fantastic photos Dan, I would love to find an early 60's Jeepster in decent condition for restoration. There are a couple on CL already restored but aren't really done original, priced at $20k. I really would enjoy doing the work myself.

    At a jeep crossroads. Want opinions.

    I love my Rubicon and unless you want to do serious rock crawling you don't need to change anything. I love the looks of a JKU on 40 but it is not practical for me. I have gone through some awesome stuff in my near stock Rubicn, only changed bumpers and added a winch. You will only hate the...

    Quick photoshop

    I'll pass on that one. Would take an acre to turn it around! I'd just buy the 3500 and be done if I needed a big truck.

    1999 Jeep Wrangler 2.2L Kubota diesel swap

    I don't personally have the time to perform this level of mod but thanks for sharing. It is always so interesting to see what you DIY engineers can come up with in the way of modifications. Not everyone has an appreciation for everyone else's idea but that doesn't mean it's not a good idea...

    Side-mount Jerry can holders

    Jeff I'm sure your head is full if ideas and I see a real need for a spare can of fuel traveling to AK even at the price of being called a tourist. You may come across a stranded traveler that didn't have sufficient fuel to make the next fuel stop for many possible reasons. I would not want to...

    My 1979 Wagoneer. Long story with pics!!

    How did you get the headliner material to stick? I have attempted this before with spray adhesive and it didn't stay stuck when the summer heat arrived. Fantastic build with lots of TLC.
