    Is a Bestop header required?

    Thanks for the replies. I am having a heck of a time trying to get the bestop bikini to seat in the cornors. The top just will not conform to the radius of the header. The top should have been tapered at the ends to fit.

    Greetings, Anyone know if a bestop bikini top will fit a smittybuilt header or is a bestop one required? I have access to a used smitty at a good price but not sure if they are compatible. Thanks.

    Storing hard top

    I am using one of those small portable scaffolds. Easy on/off, plenty of storage and you can use it when not supporting the hard top.

    Tomken winch plate

    Greetings, Any one know if this company is still around possibly under a different name? A recent search did not help. I really need a winch plate with a bull bar and this one seemed to be a good choice. I have a warn rock crawler on now, but a warn plate with bar is close to 400.00 and I have...

    Need opinions on possible LJ Rubicon purchase

    Any PCM issues? Or will there be? P. My 05 LJ Rubicon auto went south at 79,480 miles and this was before there were any reliable sources to address the issue. This was all I needed to justify swaping over to a LS and have never looked back. I am also seeing that these LJ's seem to hold their...

    Greetings, Exploring front bumper options with different manufactures, and was wondering if anyone here has this bumper with an Anti Rock? Any fittment issues? Other bumpersI have explored have in the notes section any limitations that will impact fitment. Thanks.

    This is how bad LA prices are...

    I may be wrong, but that looks like a YJ hard top.

    Been recommended to use 20W-60 oil in my TJ

    Unless someone else has already stated, why do you not just use what the owners manual says and forget about all this other nonsense?

    Exhaust header for 5.3 swap

    I wanted headers when I did my 5.3 but decided not to because of the cost, finding a quality product that did not have thin walled tubing will most likely crack sooner than latter, the heat, potential fitment issues and what few extra horse power gains when there is already 355 of them was not...

    Low profile front bumper/winch set up

    Greetings, The title applies to an 05 LJ. I have a warn bumper(no winch) currently, but would like to get a front bumper that allows the winch to set in to allow the most air flow for cooling and should keep the winch out of harms way (mostly). Due to potential costs, I would consider just a low...

    Radio antenna suggestions

    Any one have info on the use of an antenna/signal booster? Might help out those who use the shorter antennas or who are looking for better reception.

    Starting the 5.3 swap for my 99 Tj and considering keeping the stock 5 speed

    I just did this swap, but bought an engine to include the 6l80E tranny. Just seemed to be the right choice since it was matched to the engine.
