    3D printable pods for 5.25" in-dash speakers

    Yes, you have to cut the metal frame. Pretty much gotta get rid of the oval shape of the frame and cut it so the corners of the metal that remains would not jab into the pod. I used a pair of hand shears + plyers for cutting, I preferred to avoid power tools such as a sawzall or jigsaw in that...

    Advice requested on Dana 30 high pinion build

    Just put a 2nd HP Dana 30 in the front of my 2nd TJ Wrangler. One jeep I built for 33-35s, 3 spd auto. This axle has 4.56 gears, which is "factory" for a 35 inch tire, aggressive for 33 inches. This axle is fairly bare bones, stock shafts, no truss, no sleeves, no gussets, open diff. The other...

    3D printable pods for 5.25" in-dash speakers

    Ultimately I think morphing the top right corner in the design is going to work. Seems completely possible... Now just gotta actually modify the files xD

    Sound Bar Speaker Cutout Diameter?

    Was doing some speaker research looking for a good candidate for my soundbar, seems like the reason the polks fit without modification is due to their lower than average cutout size of only 5 inches for a 6.5 inch speaker, as seen in the image below.. I've purchased a different brand of 6.5 inch...

    3D printable pods for 5.25" in-dash speakers

    Anyone remake the file to fit in tjs with the headlight switch on the kick panel? Looks like its possible if the cad drawing is morphed a bit to get rid of the top right corner on the drivers side. There seems to be plenty of room for the speaker itself in the pod still if this modification were...

    News + current events

    You're correct in noting that, once in space, a spacecraft can theoretically be placed into various orbital paths. However, achieving a polar orbit—where the spacecraft passes over Earth's North and South Poles—is both technically challenging and historically uncommon for crewed missions...

    The official idiot driver thread

    Ive been running into a lot of idiots turning into my road from a side road and causing me to mash the breaks. I guess people see a jeep coming, and expect it to be slow enough for them to get in. Sometimes people will hear my straight piped exhaust screaming and see my stinger plowing straight...

    What type of coolant should I use for my TJ?

    I use the NAPA universal coolant. No issues personally.

    Are the LJs no longer desirable?

    Economy isnt really in the best place right now, may consider that factor aswell. It's funny though, because on the other side of the fence, I can't find an xj for less than 5-7k anywhere. Used to be a 500-1000 dollar vehicle 10 years back.

    AX-15 popping out of first

    I know this is a an older thread but this topic seems to come up from time to time. Something easy you can check is if the rubber shifter boot has shrunk. I started running into this same issue on a jeep I acquired in the middle of last year, and turns out the boot had shrunk enough to allow it...

    Loose steering & shock advice

    Ball joints and tierod end to pitman arm look like the most worn parts on the front axle. I'd check them first for play. Also, check your front trackbar for play. Looks like a new hole was drilled into the mount on the axle side to accommodate the lift kit. Check for play there while someone...

    Rockauto shipping rant

    Another Rockauto rant thread. Picked up a cheap denso radiator to try and swap in over the weekend since my old rad blew out through the crimp seams near the top. Decided to order thermostat, housing, gasket, and radiator cap at same time. Rockauto packaged everything together into a single box...
