Yesterday, I just took my entire morning commute in 4H. Pretty much any time the road is slick, I'll do that. The snow was cleared up by the time I went home, so I just went back to 2wd. There are some points during the winter where the roads are salted and clear enough that I don't bother...

Oh man, those are really out there. I don't know that I'd ever want one, but I'd certainly love to take one for a ride, just to check it out.

That's pretty as hell, but I'm damn glad that wasn't my first car. I probably wouldn't have survived to graduate high school if it was, haha.

Yea, scrappy self-learners without a degree have even been able to get pretty far in computing too, where a lot of employers have realized that schools aren't the only place you can learn how to do things like code and such. Hell, college courses are even available for free online from...

My first car was a hand-me-down 1985 Volvo sedan that was either a 740 or 760 with a turbo. It was a pretty damn nice first car, even though it was almost as old as I was at the time. I just wish I appreciated it more at the time and took better care of it. (image of a similar car below - not...

I've been meaning to get something like this for a while. It would have made some rewiring jobs I've done lately a hell of a lot easier. And that would have been nice to have when I was accessing my gas tank a few months back. Fortunately, I was able to make a screwdriver work, but this may...

I definitely agree that Trade Schools and careers in STEM are solid choices, but manufacturing definitely doesn't promise a middle-class income like it used to. Even with a president who has pushed hard to keep this area afloat, there's very little growth in the area. The need for a college...

That's definitely a good question to be asking since there's definitely a ton of click-bait crap out there, especially when it comes to claims about millennials and baby boomers. CNBC does have a slight liberal bias, but the source data of this claim is based on the findings of the New America...

I think the bumper looks best without the extra pieces. These parts are commonly taken off and often referred to as the "milk jugs" because of their shape. Here's a look at the front of a TJ (not mine) without and with them: If you don't like the ends of the front bumper open without the...

Go big or go home. I haven't heard of anyone putting a Hellcat in a TJ, but you could test that out for us, right? I mean, 707 horses would be a nice little step up from the 2.5L stock engine, I'm sure.

lol, that's great. Those D-rings seem to be a perfect solution for holding it at the bottom too!

I love YJs and if I had the money to spend on an extra car to keep around mostly for collection's sake, I'd definitely want to get either a blue Islander or a Jurassic Park replica. But I don't see that ever happening anytime soon and I'll take my TJ over a YJ any day, especially as a daily...

Well, damn! You certainly live up to your user name. And agreed with @DWR that I'd love to see a write-up on how you did this.

I get the impression that the Wild Boars brand likely has several different manufacturers that it uses for their products, which would explain why impressions of their products vary so greatly. Either that, or a different model. The ones that @Squatch talked about seem pretty different from...

Yea, the plastic used in mine was cheap as shit. Looks like they have some nice options. I had explored a few places like Home Depot, but didn't find anything I really liked until I came across the black plastic mesh I'm using now. https://www.mcmaster.com/wire-cloth

I really wish we would do more of that here. I always hear talk of how harmful the salt is to the lakes because of how much they use, but that doesn't seem to stop them from doing a green lake of salt in front of my house every year. I don't ever aim to sell my TJ, so I'm always worrying...

Yea, you can use a flathead screwdriver to pop it off in a few places. Just be gentle with the middle part though since it's a bit weaker there.

@bedhed (probably didn't need to tag ya since I quoted ya, but on well, lol) I believe this was the one I came across from @AndyG : https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/door-panel-crack-repair.13615/
