Hello all - I bought the stuff to make 3 "DIY Spods", a la Pvanwheelden's write up here on the forum. I have a couple of friends and family members with Jeeps who I thought would want them as Christmas gifts, but after asking them none of them thought they would be using enough...

Sorry, those photos dont show the bend, just got a shot of it - it is the bottom of the tire carrier. Its not a huge amount, but the driver side is noticeably titled up from parallel to the bumper. Also, I am not sure about what looks like a gap at the bottom of the door. Didnt really look...

I hate to add to the list of those recently involved in an accident, but on Tuesday I was rear ended in the Jeep. Stop and go traffic on highway commute, I was stopped, she said she was "putting her coffee cup down". I had been watching her in my mirror, as she was following a bit close, and...

Hey all, no pics right now, cause thunderstorm... But I have a 12 Rubi, stock steering. Axle has Evo gussets, and running a Rancho 2" sport lift. I had it aligned at a dealer after the lift, but I am getting bad tire wear, effectively what looks like positive camber wear, on the outside edge...

Just for posterity and ease of comparison, here is a picture from Spicer with the old version: Should be easier to see the difference now...

My bad guys, got busy at work and forgot this weekend... This is a timing belt/cam gear tool for a Mazda BP 4 cyl engine. Shape is just a flair, but here is what it looks like in place

Not just you. I have had 3 F150s with the 5.4, but on my second I had one of the OE 2 piece plugs break while driving out of state to buy a motorcycle. Ended up at a road side show and shelling out about $1k on a plug change, as 3 of the 8 broke. off. Luckly they had the Lisle tool for...

Surefire and Streamlight are my go to... Nightstand is a Surefire 6P Defender with a Malkoff Drop in, cause when you always 100% want it to work... A great upgrade for anyone with an old Surefire or copy lying around, and he has several versions to choose from. EDC in my bag is a Surefire...

Owned a couple of XJ's a few years back, always wanted a Wrangler and to run the Rubicon trail. After a visit to Montana and Wyoming for a friends wedding a couple years back in my F150, the wife and I decided to look for a Jeep. I started watching videos on youtube and found WAL vids, and...

Was a great time. Ive heard between 65 and 70 jeeps. A couple pics I took in the Jeep, and some that our trail guide's wife took:

Got the cooler in the other day, wanted to update in case anyone else is looking in the future. Cooler will hold 18 .5l bottles of water, could fit 36 cans, but not room left for ice in that case, as double stacked cans come up to the top of the cooler. This will give room for a bit of ice...

Milwaukee M12 3/8 drill *SOLD* I recently "needed" a new M12 tool for a project, and when I went to pick it up I found out that I could get it as part of a kit, which came with this drill, for the same price as the bare tool. It is a the: 2407-20 M12 3/8 in. drill driver drill driver...

I am thinking of picking up a new cooler, as right now they only hard cooler I have is a 100qt Igloo Marine extreme. It fits in the back, but at about 34" it is a little big for regular use for 2 people. The other issue is that I have a Tuffy Security deck to worry about - but I dont have it...

I was looking at some of the phone screen pics in the other thread, and posting up mine made me look at them a bit more than I usually do. Mine are photos by a guy named Ian Ruhter, and as I sit on my couch I have a couple of his photos hanging in the living room with me (along with some of my...

Nice thread. I keep two separate bags in my jeep, one is a little one that I got from somewhere, I dumped the bandaids in it, and made it my "basic kit". It has: Germ-x lotion neosporin spray tweezers (pointy and flat tip) finger nail clippers ~20 anti-bacterial cleaning towelettes...
