    You need to work on that R.T. :D

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    I like the look. How are you reinforcing the ends to prevent tear out at the screws?

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    I honestly think the grey is closer than the beige to the nebulous "light khaki" panels in my '05. I was able to color match some half door interior panels with a combination of colors, but it was a challenge. I suspect the beige would bleach out pretty quickly from the UV exposure.

    I'll take a set of those TJ/LJ covers in light khaki, please. ;)

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    Neat idea for a drawer fridge, but I would caution anyone considering one to make sure there is adequate ventilation for heat exchange. As with a top load, the efficiency and therefore on-off cycle ratios depend on the ability to shed heat from the exchanger. It's challenging to keep adequate...

    Jeep Cherokee Widetrack Revival - with questions for the experts - Stoffregen Motorsports

    3.54:1 final - not a bad general duty ratio for stock size tires. I know you were tempted to stuff an E-locker in there . . . :D

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    I have been using Rock Auto to assess the alternate/aftermarket part availability, and it has been robust for all years of Wrangler that I work on (early 90s-'05). You can look up the part by OEM number on their site as well.

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    Thanks for the feedback, Jeff. I also plan to keep my '05 for the foreseeable future, and have been adding spares to inventory for quite a while now. Things like the heater control panel, electronic items, Rubicon locker actuators, etc. I have a spare OPDA on the shelf too, but since I...

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    Interesting. Have you experienced any faults related to your PCM, Jeff? Was this replacement purely for pre-emptive purposes? At ~$1200 for the replacement PCM, it's not an insignificant investment. However, based on age and mileage, my '05 may be worthy of a similar upgrade. I am...

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    Did you make that sectional liner, Jeff, or is it a commercially available piece? I was going to install these, but they are rather spendy for what you get. https://hotheadheadliners.com/products/2004-2006-unlimited-lj-premium-headliner-kit?variant=611775401

    Rockauto has the heater valve - not a bypass type.

    Jeff - sorry if I missed this detail earlier, but what is the length of the Jeep trailer tub?

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    I wish I could justify buying those moulds from you, Jeff. But I really can't see myself fabricating any hoods. Love the scoop though.

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    If the intention is to use the body panels as access to the roof, then they need to be designed for that purpose. More strength, however, usually means more weight. I prefer to add hardened points for foot or hand use to access the roof, and not turn the hood and fenders of my LJ into a dance...

    Jeepster Commando Build - A Different Sort of Jeep Thing - Stoffregen Motorsports

    LOL - it comes with age . . . Yes, all my RR-ing was east coast with EMRA. Bridgehampton, Limerock, Pocono, Summit Pt. Watkins Glen, Shannonville (Canada). The Glen is my favorite. Bridge was the toughest until it closed and became another golf course in the Hamptons :( Now I play with...

    Jeepster Commando Build - A Different Sort of Jeep Thing - Stoffregen Motorsports

    Funny small world. I remember Rebello. I raced Datsun 510s in the early-mid 80s. Eventually wound up racing an RX-3sp. I raced through the late 90s and then got sucked into managing the sanctioning organization. I was COB of EMRA from 98-2001. I noticed the rib-case 4 speed, and figured...

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    Thanks Jeff. The MOQ should be amortized over a wide range of customers, not just Jeep nuts. And at the lower price point, overlanding is not the only application for them. IMO.

    Jeepster Commando Build - A Different Sort of Jeep Thing - Stoffregen Motorsports

    Fantastic. The car, the story on its reclamation, and the racer. Is the red car a Mk IV? 1275 originally? 100hp from a 3 main A series is ambitious. ;) We have a '67 Mk IV in the family for the last 35 years or so. My son is taking over stewardship of it soon. I road raced from the early...
