    Building of Bankster

    I figured since I just ordered the bracket for an ARB compressor from Eddie and Cindy, I’d start a build tread for my (new to me) 2019 JLUR “Bankster”. What does the name mean? The banks for everyone else are getting my money for the Rubicon and my CJ-8, Scrambled Egg. So, the banks are holding...

    In the market for a Rubicon

    I finally gave up my TJ a year and a half ago to one of my kids so I could temporarily downsize some bills, as I started my business and he needed wheels. I also own a project CJ-8, that isn’t in running condition, yet. So I have been driving a boring Ford Fusion. A couple of weeks ago I was...

    Scrambled build thread

    I posted this in my return Jeep Wave thread. Right now, I’ll be going through fluids, looking for leaks, and getting her ready to move under her own power. Basically, because Scrambled has sat for a long time, I’ll likely throw some parts at her until I can get to a place to do a build. For the...

    So, I test drove a JKU today...

    The blonde in my life keeps offering a new Jeep JKUR for me, because she hates the TJ (I think the rough ride and loud noises build character... some women are weird, but she's awesome for even thinking about offering me a new Jeep!). I test drove a JKU Sport S a couple of weeks ago. I liked...

    So, my 19 year old daughter...

    ... wants an old Cherokee as her next car. Proud papa here. I didn't even push her to want one. She says she loves the boxy look to them, wants 4x4 capability,to get around during the winter, to get to the college she's attending, and going down the shore or up to the Poconos. We're doing...

    TJ Coilovers

    So, I came across an old thread that discussed coiloverson TJs. Eddie pointed out that it could be tough to get Coilovers right on a TJ, but I'm curious if anyone has done it and had successes or failures installing them. On road drivability and comfort seem to be pluses forcoilovers, while also...

    Aluminum Vs. steel bumpers

    So, I was looking through GenRight Offroad's offerings for coil overs for my TJ (I'm still researching whether or not they'll be worth the money over a long arm system), and sort of skipped over the aluminum bumpers for the steel ones. I work with metal, and generally understand the advantages...

    Has anyone bought from...

    ... Chassis Unlimited? Their ads popped up on Facebook, and I've clicked the links a couple of times. I was just hoping to hear if their steering equipment is good for lifted Jeeps (TJs), or not. I know Eddie had told me that Currie was good for their system would be a good investment, too.

    Popeapalooza in Popadelphia

    We're experiencing a complete shutdown of Philadelphia because of Pope Francis' visit to the East Coast. Il Papa rides a JKU Which doesn't surprise me anymore, after I was in Rome with my wife back in 2006, and we watched a procession of Pope Benedict riding on the back of a flatbed GMC...

    Build planning questions.

    To start a build on the TJ X 6 speed manual I have, and on a small budget to start with, where should I start, after recovery and safety upgrades? I want to get my hands dirty on as many of these projects as I can. Here is my intent for the rig. Generally, I'm shooting for American made...

    Hello from Philadelphia

    Hi guys. I'm without a Wrangler at the moment, but getting ready to purchase one very soon. I'm tooling around in a Liberty that I bought new 8 years ago. Living in the city doesn't give me too many opportunities for off-road driving, but I lived for a lot of years in upstate PA, where I was...
