    Well folks, I'm considering selling the TJ

    I traded in my tj for a fiesta st. Didn’t think I would miss it because my wife traded in her car for a 2018 jl Sahara. I missed that tj so damn bad I ended up buying another one. Still daily drive the st.

    How big of tires can I put on a stock 1998 Wrangler?

    Nope. So the 75 is the “ratio” size It’s how much meat is on the sidewall of the tire, the first size you listed has a diameter around 28 inches The 255/75/17 has a diameter around 32 inches. No way to pull that off without a lift. If you want to get a larger diameter rim you would have to...

    Spring and shock choice sanity check

    The most common failure I’ve seen leaving someone stranded in a trail is broken u joints. I can’t say I’ve seen someone stranded over some springs and sway bar extensions.

    Spring and shock choice sanity check

    I started with the zone 4.25 lift and went straight to 33 12.5 tires and a jks front track bar and ran it like that for a year no issues, didn’t even have any vibrations with the factory drive shaft and no sye. Idk why anyone would knock it, the parts that came in it where fine. Later when I had...

    1998 TJ control arm selection

    What is the drivability issues currently that you are trying to fix? There may be a cheap way to fix it that doesn’t involve buying control arms. In my opinion control arms are a buy once cry once purchase. I would not cheap out. But we may be able to fix the issue in a different direction. Do...

    Mechanics Creeper

    I use this one when I’m doing brakes, ball joints, wheel bearings and struts. It’s awesome. Plus it has a cup holder for my beer and a spot to place my nuts!

    Road to 33's and now to 35's: order of updates?

    Just thought I’d throw this out there. I’m on a 3 inch lift with 1 1/4 body lift on 33 inch tires, and I barely fit through a standard 7 foot garage door. If I put my Jeep on 35 inch tires and 4 inches of lift there’s no way it would fit inside.

    Thank god for Arizona Jeeps

    Oh it’s not that bad. Windshield frames are overrated anyway.

    Toughness personified

    Kind of what I am thinking. I haven’t bent this bar yet. I only got a couple of trips on the Currie steering setup. But my lips are kind of chapped. Some chapstick would be nice!

    School me on carburetors

    Most of my experience with carbs is on small Honda engines in equipment , but a trick that I tend to use if I think I got a carb issue with restrictions, is if it has a manual choke, pull it out a little bit. This will restrict the air flow and make the mixture more rich. If it starts running...

    Upgrade to Super 35, or swap to Dana 44?

    Jerry talked me into a super 35 a couple years ago. I don’t regret it. I’m running revolution 5.13 gears, revolution super 35 kit, and a Eaton e locker. It made sense for me considering I already had the Dana 35 and could regear it my self. I’m on 33 12.5 tires. I personally don’t feel the need...
