    Recommended Build Size

    Hey guys! New here and looking for some advice. I’ve seen a few threads about some similar situations to mine but I’d like some more exact advice. I recently bought a 1999 2.5 5 speed with 4.10s off of a kid with a 3” body lift on 31x10.5 15s. Obviously I want to get rid of that much body lift...

    Safari cab for TJs?

    After some “light” research on the inter-webs I decided to just ask here because who knows best than you guys, am I right? Is there such a thing as a “safari hardtop” for the TJs??? I see them for the JLs and such but not our beloved TJs running a normal cab.. Thanks

    Does anyone have experience with EAG tube fenders?

    My Jeep's plastic fenders have seen better days. Been torn of multiple times due to being too bulky for my 35's. I'm planning to make the switch to steel fenders next month and looking for an affordable option. Does anyone have experience with the EAG brand name. They sell some nice looking...

    Hello all! I have loved Jeeps since my first vehicle back in 2006 when I turned 16 and got my first TJ. I have had 9 Jeeps total since then, and 6 of them have been Wranglers! I have learned a ton from each and every one of them, and finally aquired my “ideal” Jeep. I am ready to build it up to...

    Chapter 1 - The Early Years My TJ build story started decades ago, and very much continues through today... Growing up, I had always wanted a Jeep, but the stars never aligned for me to get one. It wasn't until I was in my 20's that I got my first one when I had the means (i.e. $$$) and the...

    Should I go with 35s, 4 inch lift, 3.73 gearing, and Dana 35 / Dana 30 axles?

    Well I know that it’s not “preferred” but is there anyone else out there doing it. I was thinking about doing it and just seeing what I felt was weaker and going about upgrades then!

    '97 TJ named Rooster... it's a girl!

    I'm new to this forum but have used it for about a year. I'm a freshman in college so funds are low but whatever isn't used on food and school is used on my jeep. Her name is Rooster because when I got her she didn't have a working horn which turned out being the relay. I bought a relay, she...

    Wide Open Design's TJ and LJ Tube Chassis

    Wide Open Design has been in the Jeep scene for a while. I grew up watching WOD Jeeps crawl all over GreyRock ORV, Morris Mountain ORV, and other trails throughout Alabama. There is no doubt that their work is some of the best in the off road industry. WOD revolutionized the GM 14 bolt front...
