    The decline of restaurants and eating out

    I've seen a couple of his videos and it's amazing how insanely stupid the people are who he has on. I have to wonder how many are manufactured scenarios, or if they're really all that clueless and hopeless.

    The 90's

    Huge Zeppelin fan as well. This is a fantastic album; worth checking out for any Zep fan.

    Tires for light pickup

    I've been very happy with the Cooper Discoverer Road and Trail ATs I put on my Grand Cherokee last year. I also liked the General Grabber ATXs I had on the TJ for a while as well. Wouldn't hesitate to buy either one again.

    House inspection questions

    Sold my mom's home earlier this year and dealt with the radon issue. Similar to an earlier post, existing sump pump was used and it wasn't that much to repair. Can't comment on the water. In AZ, once known, the seller is legally required to disclose radon to any potential buyers, so that...

    Soft top to hard top

    I wanted a hard top when I was first shopping for my TJ. Wound up buying one with a soft top because it checked every other box. After riding in friends YJs and JLs with hard tops and realizing they're not much quieter than my OEM soft top, and that there are a lot more options for replacing or...

    Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

    Caught our 55 lb Malanois/Pit mix terrorizing our 110 Lb Cane Corso while he was trying to nap today. It's hilarious watching these 2 play. He's very tolerant of her endless energy and taunting.

    Tips for getting the most money from your insurance after an accident

    Went through similar with my daughter's DD when she was rear ended a couple of years ago. Not a Jeep, but an unusually low mileage, well cared for 12 year old suv that we fought to get a fair settlement on. Search for comparable for sale units currently listed in both your market and others...

    Starting from square one

    That body mount is actually a Daystar 1" body lift that replaces the OE body mount and adds 1". Depending on how you plan to sort your spring/body lift combination, I'd highly recommend replacing those with a set of OE style body mounts and then if you want a body lift, using either a 1" or...

    Tire selection for a first-time off-roader and Jeep owner

    I ran Grabber ATx in LT 31x10.5 r15 on my TJ for a while. Great tire. Smooth and quiet on road, plenty capable offroad. Wouldn't have thought twice about running them again except they don't make the 33x10.5 I now run on the TJ

    Can someone tell me what this vSeeBox / Superbox hype is all about?

    I have a neighbor who recently got a vSeeBox from another neighbor. They both rave about it. I've been over to watch a few ballgames since he's gotten it and can say it looks to have limitless access to anything and everything. Honestly seemed a little overwhelming given we only watch select...

    SwayLOC Questions

    I added a SwayLoc about 3 years ago; one of the best things I've done to the TJ - I think you're going to be pleased. Installation was pretty easy. I personally didn't need anything special to get it through the crossmember or pull the pieces together; used a rubber mallet to tap it through...

    Piss & Moan Table

    Had to change out the dedicated battery for the auto start stop function on my 21 Grand Cherokee today. Whoever made the decision to place both the main and auxiliary batteries under the passenger seat on the GC should be shot. I'm no designer, but that seems like someone gunning for the award...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Annual hanging of TJ Christmas lights. :D

    2004 TJ 4.0 - Want 3" Lift and 33s - Not sure how to get there

    I'm on 33s, running OME springs and shocks for a 2-2.5" lift, along with a 1.25" body lift. OME spring part #2932 front and 2941 rear. Shocks 60047 front and 60048 rear. My TJ is fairly light and I wound up with right about 2.7" of lift from the springs (OEM front bumper, no winch, soft top...
