Anybody besides @jscherb and I going to be at the Festival in NW PA this week? I finally got my LJ-R back on the road after a 6 year(!) hibernation. I installed a Genright Safari tank that I have been tripping over in the garage for the last 4 years, did some maintenance, replaced the...

I have been searching the web as well as through past threads here, and cannot seem to hit the right search terms, or perhaps nothing exists like what I am seeking. I am looking for a 2-3 liter liquid storage bag with a screw cap that can be used and re-used. Preferably with a cloth/canvas...

Complete engine, 2bbl carb to pan. Still has the governor dizzy on it. It's a take out from an early 70s Loadstar with very low miles (~30k) from a former base truck at a local Army base. Truck rusted away and I couldn't scrap a perfectly good engine. Has been on a stand in my dry garage for a...

I tend to jump in at the deep end of the pool . . . Not sure how much off-highway riding I will do with the rig yet, as I still have to master tarmac riding ! It's a 1975 BMW R90S with a mono-shock rear conversion and leading link front, 15" wheels with (skinny!) car tires, a Heinrich tank...

Over the last few months I have noticed the the top column cover on my LJ gets hot when I use my headlights for extended periods of time. Recently I had the headlights and the OEM fog lights on for several hours, and the smell of hot plastic started to be noticeable. Has anyone else...

We got our RTT from Main Line Overland yesterday :wings: and are now moving toward the design/build of the roof rack to mount it on our 2005 LJ Rubicon. For a plethora of reasons, I am not interested in any of the aftermarket roof racks. This custom rack will have three down tubes per side...

I know this subject is not as sexy as lifts and winches, but replacing the front ball joints on the Jeep D30 and D30/D44 hybrid axle is something that eventually must be done. The joints on my 2005 LJ Rubicon have been deteriorating for quite a while. It got bad enough over the last few...

My eyes are bleary from searching for anything on this subject. Has anyone used a pair of 6V golf car batteries in series as a starting battery? Since they do not rate GC batteries for CCA, I have no idea how good or bad of an idea this might be. Thanks for not laughing at me too hard . . ...

For better or worse, I started a spreadsheet (yeah, I am an engineer-sorry) to catalog the weight of all the items I have added and intend to add to my rig. I wanted to get a handle on the total vehicle weight for a number of reasons, not the least of which is suspension choice and weight/power...

Used FIPK with about 75k miles. Complete with heat shield and all hardware except a couple of minor bolts. Filter is clean and in excellent shape. Minor corrosion on chrome end cap. Comes with K&N cleaning and oiling kit. I have a picture to email if you want. $175.00 + shipping...

Greetings. I apologize in advance for the double post, as I have also posed this question in the Jeep section. However, the question is relevant to any soft topped truck owner. I am contemplating making some substantial changes to my 2005 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited. These changes would...

Greetings Jeepers. I have been posting on Expo from time to time, but I think this may be one of, if not my first question post in the Jeep forum. By way of introduction, I have a 2005 Rubicon Unlimited that I drive every day. I have enjoyed it off-road since I bought it, and have done a...

At the suggestion of Mario Donovan, I am starting a seperate thread to flesh out the viability of a JK Habitat style hard top for the 2004-2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (LJ). In the JK thread, I posted the following data as a base point for estimating the potential market size for an LJ Habitat...
