It's a jeep, gear it like a jeep. Throw the lowest gears you can in there and have a jeep that does "Jeep things". Personally, I give zero ducks about top speed in my Jeep. I've never spent so much money to make a rig go slower 🤣 Gear that sumbich like a tractor.

I don't think the wife is down with "Jeep art". She did say I could build a showcase and park the Shovelhead in the living room when I'm too old to ride it anymore.

It's about time to switch to hard top mode. looking for cheap easy soft top storage solutions. I might be able to lay the windows flat on a piece of ply wood up in the garage rafters with ...something? between them to keep them from scratching and sticking. fold up the top? roll it up? lay...

Random note: A few years back ...I guess it was quite a few years now (funny how that happens) Melling shipped a batch of oil pumps that had metal shavings inside them. Apparently they didn't get cleaned out properly from the factory. SOURCE: My friend Dennis, the engine builder. Because...

Ditto on ditching the track bars. Also, loosening the shackles and greasing all the bushings then re-torquing all the bolts to about 35 ft-lb can help with ride quality. ***do your own research on safe torque specs**** Mine are set to [half a squeak past snug]🤷

My buddy's ford ranger had both low beams burn out at the same time. Uncommon but not unheard-of.

I would use grade 8 for the steering box and relocate the track bars to the dumpster.

What brand top? Some companies sell replacement windows, I have also seen new and used replacement windows on eBay.

My buddy got a wrecked TJ from the auction and it has uppers with sliding windows. I know the rear pin would need modified to fit in the doors but I'm not sure how it would fit in the opening. I think I can get them for a good price. Has anyone done this? Or seen it done? I was thinking about...

I used a straight piece of Baracade fuel line. I inserted a spring inside it, so it couldn't collapse. It's been in there for 8,500 miles, so far so good.

The new beadlocks wrapped in some 33 12.5 tires. I had to trim the rear fender wells about ¾" and trim the TJ flares a little. The rear doesn't rub at all and it takes a lot to make the fronts rub. I did extensive testing this weekend 😉

Officially, it's the Grouse Creek drainage. Everyone around here just calls it "Compressor"

Well I got the new floor pan in and dark gray Raptor liner sprayed on the floor boards. I also had the driver's seat bracket lowered 1.75". It all looks great now and the lower seat is SO much more comfortable 👍 Unfortunately I can't seem to post pictures... So, I guess you're just going to...

Update: After much deliberation, I bought weld on beadlock rings from Total Metal Innovations. They are standard 3/16" off-road beadlock rings with anti coning tabs. Beadlocks are cool like jockey shift Harleys 😎

Generally speaking, yes. But I believe I read that OME boomerang shackles are about 5" in length. I imagine they would drive fine. Don't you think? I'm too cheap to find out. I'm running 5.25" Ebay specials. They're ok.

Good looking Jeep. Welcome aboard.

That's correct. The angle is pretty much dead nuts for my setup. Results may vary.

So, you're saying it's the radio, not the ignition or aux circuit? I can live with that.

No exageration, I've owned 100 aftermarket stereos in a hundred different rigs, this is the only one that has done this. What's different?

I had that setup for a while. 2½" lift, with the 1" mm lift, and 4° rear shims, it required a ¾" T-case drop to get the drive line angles right. I don't know what shims you have, so results may vary.
