    Fire Extinguisher Rabbit Hole

    Hello Everyone, I started looking for extinguishers and I know there are quite a bit of posts here already on the topic but in the process searching and reading and searching, I came across this automatic suppression system from a company called Blaze Cut. The website has a lot of information...

    Viair 400H Onboard Air Compressor Install (Lots of Photos)

    I took advantage of the open space on the driver side fender well since I don't have cruise and no emissions. Started with a crude foam core and cardboard mockup, then created CAD data and sent it to "send-cut-send" to have it made. I knew I would have to finish bend the 3 mounting tabs so I...

    Question for the Michigan / Wisconsin / Illinois folks

    I simply wouldn't drive it in the winter if you are worried about rust. No matter how clean you try and keep your vehicle, it's not if, it's when the rust will start.

    My NV3550 is going to fail, need replacement

    I did the exact same replacement last fall. My NV was failing and went with a new AX-15 from Novak. Was an easy swap and no regerts (not one letter, LOL!!)

    Another A-Pillar Light Mount Install

    there is a little glare but nothing obnoxious. my goal with the lights is to see more on the sides of the trails so if I have to move them further out, that will help even more with the little glare that is there now.

    Another A-Pillar Light Mount Install

    I know there have been a ton of install How-to’s and posts already out there but in all my “down the rabbit hole” searches and reads, I never found anything I fell in love with so I decided to put my own “twist” on some of the installs I did find. I love the classic look of the KC Daylighters...

    Toyota lights on your TJ! Cheap, quality LED alternative

    One thing I forgot to mention is I rolled the dice and bought a set of John Audette's Osram Night Breaker H4 bulbs before he went out of business and while the beam spread is great, the brightness is a bit disappointing (low) and a little too yellow for my liking. Not planning to change them...

    WTB: Wiper Arm Set

    I've got an '04 and the dumba$$ that I am, I inadvertently lost them from being off a long time while doing mods along with a house move and can't remember where I put them so was wondering if anyone has a set in good condition they are willing to sell? Haven't gone the ebay route yet and...

    Toyota lights on your TJ! Cheap, quality LED alternative

    Well, after 500+ posts and 107+ thousand views I thought I would add my .02 cents to the thread and highlight my install. I decided to use the included harness that came in the kit to future proof if I decide to ever go with the Hella 100/80w bulbs but also take the circuit load off the MFS...

    Brake iBooster Alternative for Manuals

    After reading through Mac’s ibooster thread earlier this year and how he was worried about stalling his Jeep on a hill and losing power brakes, I started doing some research and asked a co-worker who used to be a mechanic about the ibooster as well and how I was thinking about retro-fitting one...

    Anyone run a 35x12.5R15 wheel / tire setup?

    I gave up waiting on the K0'3 for a 15" rim and went with Mickey Thompson Legend MTZ's and couldn't be happier. Plus they were cheaper then the K0'2 which will probably end up being considerbly cheaper then the K0's whenever they ultimately get released.

    Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions RubiGrid Mounting Question

    Question for the group. I installed this kit, and while the quality of the kit itself is great, the phone bounces a ton while driving and I think I have traced it back to the stamped piece of steel that is part of the dash structure (see yellow circled area). There is a downturn flange on the...

    Flux Off-Road TJ Rear Bumper Install Notes and Tips

    I have not seen a post highlighting the tips and steps for installing the bumper yet so I thought I would put something together. This is really my first "how-to" so if I missed anything or if something isn't all that clear, please ask questions and I will answer and help anyway I can. And...
