I think I need to upgrade to an LJ and I found one near me, but it has some upgrades that concern me. 1st it has paint matched armor including the rear quarters. Is there any way without removing the armor to know what in under it? Would you ask to remove the armor if you were buying it? 2nd...

I am looking to have my TJ re-geared, and do not want to tackle this myself. Are there any reputable shops in the Tigard/Beaverton/Portland area. I saw recommendations for Dan's Gears in Sherwood, but the phone number seems to be disconnected. I saw someone mention that he was an older guy...

I was out at the Jolly Jeepers Rally this weekend and ended up pulling cable to get past some 35" ruts with my 32" tires. I still have the steel cable that my Warn Zeon winch came with, and I think this is the last time I want to pull steel cable up a hill I can barely walk up empty handed, not...

Any forum members going to the Piston's Wild 2024 Poker Run? I am signed up and will be there with my wife, but this will be my 1st poker run. Anyone here going and want to meet up? https://pistonswild.com/index.php/poker-run-2024/

Does anyone have any experience with the M.O.R.E. oil pan/transmission skid plate? They have 20% off today, and I am thinking about picking it up. I was just wondering if there is a reason to go to another brand or if anyone has 1st hand experience with this one. Putting it on a 2002 TJ...

I have been using this long weekend to do some upgrades on the Jeep. 1st was to install a PowerTrax No-Slip in the front Dana 30. I do not see anywhere in the instructions that the thrust washers I pulled out from the factory gears get reused on the locker so I reassembled it without them. Is...

So, I picked up a 3D printer a couple of months ago and have been learning how to use it and trying my hand a 3D modeling. I am super new to all of this, but am having fun learning. The TJ always seems to be short on storage, so I made a small storage box that fits behind the roll bar at the...

So, I was out with @Rubi04 yesterday at Brown's Camp and the front right brake line split open. Did the trail fix of plugging the line and continued to have an awesome day! I have ordered new YJ lines for the front and a standard TJ line for the rear. I only have a 2" spring lift so I have...

This caught me by surprise this morning and I guess it was only discovered in March of this year, but there is a new comet in the northern hemisphere you can see in the early evening over the next few days. For once a celestial event I don't have to get up at 3am to see...

Had a great day wheeling at Browns Camp with @EJD and @Sicairos49 yesterday! Picked up a rattle from somewhere under the Jeep that ended up being the rear track bar axle side mount. The nut fell off somewhere and the bolt was almost ready to fall out. Fixed with some bailing wire and duct...

This is a Warn Roller fairlead from a Zeon 10 winch (steel cable version). It has never been mounted. I went with a different style and do not need this now. I do not see a part number on it, but the parts list sheet shows it is part number 89214. $30 FTF sale preferred in the Tigard/Beaverton...

5 lb. SPRING/TENSION CLIP UNIVERSAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER VEHICLE BRACKET I bought this a few weeks ago by mistake (I wanted the 2.5 lb version to mount under the drivers seat). Selling for $10 plus shipping. I am near Portland, OR and am willing to do a FTF sale in the Tigard/Beaverton area.

I recently installed my 1st winch and ordered my 1st soft shackle. The winch (Warn Zeon10) has a steel cable and a pretty standard looking steel hook. Is it OK to use a soft shackle directly on this hook?

I purchased a homelink transmitter off eBay last year to install in the TJ, but ended up going a different rout. I assume this works, but I have never tried it. It has just been sitting on my desk for about 6 months. If you want it, you can have it for the cost of shipping or if you are in...

I seem to use a lot of anti-seize on the Jeep. Pretty much any exterior bolt that I don't put lock-tite on I have been using this 3M copper Anti-seize Brake lube on. Anybody see anything wrong with using this on non-brake parts? It seems to do a good job, and other than the copper component...

Just thought some of you may enjoy this too. A couple of my favorite things in one video.

I have a 2002 TJ (170k miles) with 31" tires on it, and I believe factory suspension. My 1st Jeep ever, so I am still learning about it. It has an obvious forward cant. Measuring from the ground to the bottom of the factory fenders the front is about 33" and the back is 35". Is it normal...

While replacing the key cylinder and figuring out why my fog lights don't work (surprise! it's the multi-switch!) I found an old alarm harness that I decided to remove. After repairing the spliced wires, I found a factory connector that is not plugged in and I am not sure where it goes. Does...

2002 Sport 4.0L So my A/C was dead and I think it was the low side schrader valve. I replaced it, but when I pulled it out it was stuck, and I had to drill it out then use an easy out to remove it. After installing a new valve it is still leaking (a lot) and I believe it is because the valve...

***************SOLD**************** I have a Tan hard top for sale. Has a couple chips you can see in the picture, but otherwise in good shape. Would like to get $850 for it.
