EDIT: I'm just gonna use this thread as somewhat of a build thread. Spoiler alert, I'm selling the white one I initially posted about and I introduce the blue '89 that we will keep in this post https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/hank-beast-the-sj-build.86959/post-1794744 I'm about to buy an...

Well this sucks...dropped into a hole with a steeper entrance than I expected (knew I messed up when the front bumper landed about simultaneously with the front tires but didn't have time to stop) and caught the spare. I can address the minor tub damage but need a new tailgate. 1. Confirm my...

grabbed a Supertop because I've decide I just prefer the framed top experience. I came from a Bestop Trektop NX (frameless or slantback as they call it now) that was purchased in 2021 and fit pretty much perfectly. With the framed top, I'm struggling. It seems like either the header bow is too...

Every summer we get tons of cooling system threads, which often get polluted with less-than-perfectly-correct information and advice so I took some time today to type up a bunch of stuff that goes through my head when I'm thinking about fixing or improving a cooling system. I'm a mechanical...

pretty simple...mine are squeaking like nails on a chalkboard. I could swear I've seen a longer-lasting upgrade/replacement posted on here but I can't think of any search terms specific enough to find it on here.

On a scale of 1-10, if the noise level of an AT tire like the KO2 was a 1 and an MT like the STT Pro was a 10, where would an RT be? After 4 years and 21k miles with the Coopers I've decided I'm just not an MT guy for something that does any significant pavement miles. They weren't loud when...

My AC was performing poorly, so I put some charge in it today and got it back within FSM specs. When i went to take the gauges off, the high side port is audibly leaking. I put the gauge hose back on just to keep it from leaking all the gas out before I can do anything about it. I came across...

I started posting some stuff about this in @Steel City 06 's SPAL electric fan thread but rather than hi-jacking it I figured I'd start a new thread for this, because it has more applications than just electric fan control. For context, what I'm doing is making a fan controller for a variable...

Buddy with an early (maybe 98 I think) found his connector busted on the harness side. Anybody know if that's a common industry connector type that could be bought new or is he gonna have to start pillaging the salvage yards? Based on location I was thinking crank position as it's down the...

Usually plan the route in reasonable detail so we can count on camping spots and have enough miles in a day without having to set up and eat dinner in the dark, but Imogene Pass was closed due to mudslide damage so my plan went out the window and we pretty much flew by the seat of our pants...

Sometimes you load up and throw the windows on to go across Oklahoma and New Mexico in August without realizing your AC isn't working as well as it should be. Most of the trip will be up high and won't call for AC and it'll be cooler on my way home next week, so I guess I'll wait until then...

my wife is tired of hearing about it so I'm putting this here. I've mentioned around here that I have tinnitus, first about 14 years ago. I had no significant hearing loss at the time but the onset was within a day or two of taking doctor-prescribed large doses of ibuprofen for a back...

I can't seem to get myself to do it unless I'm signed up for an event...then I will train so I don't embarrass myself and waste my registration fee. Went 5 years between events not running a step until 12 weeks ago, and finally got back on the horse. I figure I'm about to turn 41 and it's only...

I'm looking for someone with an OEM sunrider or Bestop Supertop, that wants to go frameless and is up for a trade for my Bestop Trektop. The black diamond fabric is in nearly new condition. Windows are very good, no yellowing or cloudiness but have a couple of minor incidental scratches...

Still holds air but I found these airing back up. We were out for the eclipse and barely even wheeled but there's one place in particular where I remember hugging the side with that tire and the rocks there were sharp. Photos don't really do them justice...they remind me of when I get a...

Looks like a pretty clean Sahara rolled over in the eastbound lanes on 15th just east of Bryant in Edmond. 🙁

Installed some Rockjock bump stops with some new springs and it occurs to me that all my existing bump stop knowledge is based on having the steel cup and a foamy jounce bumper and not directly applicable to a set that's mostly polyurethane. How much compression of the poly should I plan for...

I've got a Hayden 2791 used for about a year and a 2771 used for about a week. I found them both to be engaged (making fan noises) more than I'd prefer but a lot of people like the extra air. They both fit 2000-2006 4.0. $20 each local pickup or $30 shipped

I had ordered a couple of bushings from Metalcloak the week of Thanksgiving. They ended up getting lost somewhere in Texas and after a week of no updates, I contacted MC and they contacted FedEx, who couldn't tell them where the package was, and MC overnighted a replacement. Here we are, now...

Pair of (shortarm) Rough Country lower control arms. I installed Johnny Joints the first time the original X-Flex joints needed adjustment. They are freshly disassembled, cleaned and lubricated using Redline CV2. Jam nuts are loosened and ready to set to your desired length. The fixed end...
