    Three-way Wire Splicing

    What's your favorite way to do this? I have scotch locks but I think they kinda suck. I think that's kinda the general consensus on them? It was a nightmare messing with them on the camper when I rewired it (alot of wires cut in half). I also have these T-taps but they kinda suck too, they...

    Can't shift, clutch issues

    Okay this isn't for a Jeep at all it's for an MR2. But I am requesting assistance from the brain trust here because you guys are all pretty mechanically adept. I can't get my MR2 to shift gears when it's on. The clutch isn't fully disengaging the transmission from the motor. If you start in...

    Exhaust Sizes

    So I read the exhaust is 2.5" to the cat and then 2.25" after that. I need to replace the clamp in front of the cat, and get a turndown from the muffler. Buying exhaust stuff is so confusing, is that a 2.5" ID or OD? Looking at this for the clamp...

    Unswitched Power Source

    What is a good source for unswitched power behind the dash on a 97? I see some people have wires labeled and already back there for switched and unswitched but I do not. Trying to power a cooler, it will shut itself off if my battery voltage gets too low.

    Control Arms

    Who are we liking for control arms now. My patience for these Core4x4 arms has dropped to 0 and I'm just going to replace them. Looking for 2 johnny joints and double adjustable. Just need upper rears for now. Won't buy more Core4x4 after what happened with my front uppers. Savvy is out because...

    How to press out this bushing?

    Okay this might be a dumb question but I just got this press and have hardly used it. What is the trick to pressing out a bushing race/sleeve, when the flange-side flares out as far as the housing it's in? Since I can't put it against the arbor plates for the press. Am I supposed to clamp down...

    Re-gear now, lockers later

    I am wondering if it is a bad idea to regear and then add in selectable lockers / 30 spline axle shafts down the line later. I understand that will require setting up the gears a second time since a selectable locker will replace the carrier. I'm trying to see if there would be any downsides to...

    Reversing While Winching

    Saw this on Facebook Never would have crossed my mind to try to reverse while winching. Seems like to me you should let the winch do its job. How dumb is it actually to reverse while your winch is pulling or is it a viable option (if you don't have an 8274 lol)

    Impact Torque Ratings

    Are the torque ratings on all impacts just made up BS, or does my DeWalt just suck really hard? I have a DeWalt 3/8 20v impact: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MLM7BQJ?tag=wranglerorg-20 Not top of the line of course but not some cheap no name Chinese brand. It claims it has 450ft lbs of...

    Water Damage by Deck Footing

    I don't really know many people to ask about something like this and you guys are smart so I figured it's worth a shot. Yesterday it rained super crazy. The water normally comes down the driveway and either runs along the driveway, or turns and runs along my jeep and a retaining wall around the...

    Changing my own tires

    I can't really find anyone within an hour of my house to change my tires so I am thinking about figuring out a way to just do it myself. I think I saw somewhere on the forum that someone had a scissor jack with some metal welded to it to push the bead down or something? And it mounted into a...

    Boots

    What kind of boots you guys wear? I got a pair of Ariats for like 100$ when I moved up here. They lasted like 10mo. I get a lot of recommendations for Danner and Keen, I just picked up a pair of Keen Cincinnatis. Really hoping they last 2+ years. I use them for a mixture working around the...

    Smudge pot

    Does anyone use one of these? I just discovered their existence. Being able to heat outdoors using used motor oil seems like a pretty sweet deal.
