    What size air hose for onboard air system?

    I have been using the same coiled hose that came with my PowerTank for over a decade now. It just stays in the Jeep and I use it on both the C02 tank and ARB Dual compressor. it's got the PowerTank coupler on the end so I can use the air gun, tools, and monster value or Schrader valve couplers...

    Advice on Garmin Tread XL purchase.

    Thanks for the tips guys. I have the 10" Tread XL Overland requested from a local shop that says they can bring it in from one of their stores a few hours away. I should have it early next week.

    Advice on Garmin Tread XL purchase.

    Anyone here using any of the Garmin Tread models? I think I've got it narrowed down to the Tread XL Overland. I'm sure it will do more than I'll need, but I want something I can grow into. Up to now I've been using my phone (or iPad mini) and have subscribed to Gaia for years. It's been...

    XK GLOW R2 JEEP2 Jeep TJ Wrangler - SEMA 2024

    XKGlow apps were what Lux Lighting and ProComp were suggesting for the use of their RGB light controllers when I bought sets. I use their XKchrome app. It's easy to use, and free. I bet that TJis much more interesting when the sun goes down and it starts its light show. :ROFLMAO:

    VIDEO : WARN ZEON XD Installation & Highlights

    I'm a fan of Warn and their Zeon line, but my 9.5ti (bought in 2009) has been solid and will probably outlive me.

    Watcha cookin'?

    Over the weekend I went down a Youtube rabbit-hole on all things cooking related and ended up on Stuffed Waffles. Ordered up the Stuffler waffle maker on Amazon and last night I gave it a go. Theres a bit of a learning curve, but its a winner. First try I kept is simple and just used pie...

    Watcha cookin'?

    I finally caved and picked up one of those Meater probes. It's been a great addition and I'm happy with it. My only negative comment is the bluetooth range seems short.

    Advice

    Personally I wouldn't buy that Jeep at any price. In my opinion the pool of buyers who want a manual transmission is really small and regardless of what you do with it to make it yours, or just buy and enjoy it as it is, this jeep will always be at the bottom-end of pricing.

    JL hardtop options.

    Any decent body shop should be able to repair and paint it good as new. There used to be a facility in Tempe that specialized in stretching the hard tops 10" for the JKL conversion, but I'm not sure if they're still around. (Kustom Koachworks was their name) Maybe see where your local RV...

    Would cowl mounted floods make good brush lights?

    I have the SS over amber spots on the Rigid dual mount. Unless I'm up front the Side Shooters are just too bright for trail runs as they blind everyone outside the jeep around me. They're a bit overkill for a ditch light in my opinion.

    Lux Lighting Junction Box Mounting

    I attached it to a panel below the glovebox behind a small panel on my most recent instal and haven't had any issues. My first LUX control box didn't fair well from the heat of the engine bay. Same goes for the LUX lights. They don't do well attached to the frame around the engine area. They...

    Overkill Overland

    It's a chore taking all that stuff off and tripping over where it's stored. Might as well leave it on.

    Hello from Phoenix

    Thank you. There's a lot to do now in the city, but I also enjoy getting out and seeing what I can find. Buying a JK wasn't an option for me. Even the most simple of parts are hard to get, and if you can get them they're expensive and most mechanics are just laborers without any kind of...

    Hello from Phoenix

    Theres a few of these Pigeon Towers still around in the middle-east dating back to the 13th Century. They were used in large farming areas as a source for food and fertilizer. The slope to the towers helps the poop collect in the center of the rooms below. Since farmers can now buy fertilizer...

    Hello from Phoenix

    I wasn't sure where to post this up, so I'll just park it here. Since I am in the Middle East a lot, instead of renting a car to get around, I bought a 2023 Nissan Patrol last August. (Wranglers are also popular, but they're about 20% more over here with the cost of shipping and a whopping 15%...

    Show Off Your Guns!

    Yup, both are 9mm. I got the XL first. It's so smooth. I'm not experienced enough to feel the performance difference between a $500 and $5000+ gun, but I can see and feel the difference in the machining and build quality. That's what drew me to them. I bought the XC outside Sand Hollow...

    Show Off Your Guns!

    I picked up a couple 2011's last year. My neighbor took me to one of those Two-Gun competitions last spring and I had a great time. Didn't do well, but I had fun and learned a lot. That damn spinning star thing really got me. 🤣

    Frame breaks?

    Don't take it personally. We all mean well. It's not a defect. I think what we're getting at is most of these cases are directly related to overloading. I don't have a Gladiator, but a brief look at the specs on the Jeep.com site show a payload of 1,000-1,500 lbs depending on what model you...

    FYI for GMRS install

    Awesome little radio. Couple suggestions: I swapped out the included mic for the MXMC01 Mic. It has a dial for VOLUME/ON/OFF, which I prefer over the button. RJ45 Waterproof Socket (Amazon <$20) to plug the mic into when being used. I go straight to battery for power. Forgetting to turn it...
