    I hit a deer and dented my grille. Can I just put an angry bird grille over it?

    I beat the hell out of my jeep in the woods the same way as I did my 69 camaro or my 74 corvette, by not doing it. lol My jeep is my daily driver and its treated like every other vehicle I've ever owned. Its well maintained, washed every weekend, exterior is cleaned with detailing spray and a...

    I hit a deer and dented my grille. Can I just put an angry bird grille over it?

    When i was shopping for a jeep I'd rather look at ones with an angry grill on them. Chances are it was a mall crawler and hadn't been abused. I avoided the ads with jeeps with their front end fully extended on stumps or crossing through creeks up to the bottom of the door. I dont view vehicles...

    Custom rear view mirror bracket

    One thing I have always hated about the TJ is the rear view mirror seems to be mounted way too low. It's like it's right in my eyeline and I'm always moving my head to look around it at intersections. I looked to see if a company made a mounting bracket that possibly attached in place of the...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Ok thats why I ask. I figured the under hood temps would cause it to lose its shape if it were kydex.

    Advice on parts for my front and rear end

    Nice looking jeep. Did you go with the OME 2934 front and 2949 rear springs?

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I built a shifter lever going off the pics from the guy you bought yours from. The lever being straight didnt work for my console, I had to heat it and bend it 5 degrees forward so it wouldn't hit the console in 4 low.

    Opinion on grille inserts?

    I dont believe they would reduce the airflow enough to effect cooling at all. My jeep runs below 210 even on the hottest days we've had this summer with the A/C on high in stop and go traffic. Many vehicles come with some form of decorative grills similar to these with zero problems. If your...

    Restored my hardtop

    So far the hardtop still looks like the day I applied the penetrol even after several washings. Very happy with the results. I took this pic a couple days ago.

    Suggestions for my new TJ?

    Nice jeep. I'd look at the CalTrend seat covers. They are really nice, fit well and are highly recommended on the site. I have a set of Grabar grab handles and love them. Far better than the nylon ones you velcro onto your roll bar. You might want to check them out as well.

    Opinion on grille inserts?

    I mostly went with them for looks. I like black accents against bright colors like white and red.

    Opinion on grille inserts?

    I like them, I think they give a nice touch of detail to the grill and offer some protection to the radiator. I got mine off amazon for about $30 or so i believe. They just snap in. Some use double sided tape but i didn't want that on the jeep in case I needed to remove them. They are quality...

    Straight transfer case shifter lever

    No i turned the end on a lathe and hand threaded it with a die. Used a torch to heat the other end and bent it by hand in a vise to match the factory V shape. Milled flats into it on a mill and then drilled the holes. It hit the back of the console when it was just straight so I had to heat it...

    Straight transfer case shifter lever

    If you're a do it yourselfer, you can make one at home with a $6 piece of solid rod from Tractor Supply. I made mine after seeing someone post a pic of theirs.

    Would you buy your Jeep again?

    I would definitely buy mine again. This is my first jeep and I only picked it up about 7 months ago but this has been one of the few vehicles I've owned that I have truly enjoyed driving this much. I looked at and drove a bunch of jeeps before I found this one. It was the first one to have...

    Need help finding coolant leak

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the advice. It didnt leak any last night and was dry this afternoon as well. I looked around but couldn't find the leak so I'm gonna get a pressure tester and check it that way.
