My recent knee injury (torn meniscus and strained MCL) has rendered my JKU almost too uncomfortable to drive for any more than 60 minutes at a time. I'm 6'6", so the legroom has always been limited, but I've managed to make it work for almost the entire 10 years I've had it. I'm avoiding knee...

Going down the thermostat rabbit hole again. Noticed the temp gauge is taking no time at all getting to normal running temps, like, less than a mile. But, it will trip the hi-speed fan on occasionally, and becoming more frequent. Coolant levels are good, but, as quickly as it's warming up, I'm...

Exactly. Cylinder locks, even good quality, are not expensive. But note any manufacturer names or markings on the front of the cylinder before you drill it. Also measure the diameter and length of the cylinder- you'll need those to replace it with a comparable lock.

This is what I had back in the 80s. Owned a 1980 Toyota pickup longbed with an insulated camper shell. These carpet kits were all the rage back then. The seat cushions are hinged so you have storage inside, and when you set the floor boards up for the bed, storage underneath. Was a good night...

The Rubi has clearance for a set of 35s. The rest is up to you and you'll figure it our as you go, but secure storage is a priority- don't need stuff rolling around the back. Anyway, we're older and the weekend trips are more our thing. I have a SmittyBilt Defender rack on top- has a 200lb...

The only white Bronco.....

Based on what you've said, I gathered that he wasn't an older guy, but those rides still help to get him feeling better, I hope. My wife has her late mother's MB SLK350 with the convertible retracting hardtop and every once in a while she takes Cooper (4 yo) out. He thinks he's king sh**...

I've read one of the best therapies and most enjoyable times for senior dogs are rides. They to see and smell- just the smells are supposed to be extremely gratifying and therapeutic for older dogs.

Really? The Walls? Can't say that in all my years in the residential construction business and real estate home inspections I've ever seen that.

Sure. Popcorn ceiling is nothing more than skim coat with little styrofoam beads mixed in. It's easier to spray on than priming and painting drywall on the ceiling. I used a simple spray bottle and a 12" plastic drywall trowel and knocked out an entire room in a few hours. Takes more time to get...

But.... you can use the Graco to spray water on that popcorn in a relatively fine mist and simply remove the popcorn with a flat edge. Comes off really easily, it just makes a huge mess on the floor.

One of the handiest tools I've ever owned.... and I have a shop full of stuff.

Obviously the optimum position for the temp gauge is dead center, regardless of where or how you're driving, unless you're off-road and changing the dynamic. First things first- check your coolant level and add via the radiator, not the coolant reservoir. Lift the front end above the rear end...

So, my 2014 JKU began this recently. After running for about any length of time, say, down to the grocery store. When I'm done and the engine is still warm, the engine cranks but acts as though it's not getting any gas, or any spark to the gas. What I've done to overcome just cranking the...

Gutless and a lack of power can be construed to mean different things. To cure the gutless, I installed a Pedal Commander- nothing but an electronic throttle response enhancement, but it does work. As far as power, Jeeps typically have a pretty decent torque rating to do what you want them to...
