Installed a new "front runner" folding tailgate table. This one is way better than the previous amazon special. Has a nice slide out for the extras too. Also picked up my rear coilover kit from Rebel last week. Time to schedule a weekend to install it. 14" 2.5 kings.

I did some mille pros on my roll bar sound thingy. I found my dome light was vibrating and causing all sorts of distortion.

I wasn't speed that killed them, it was rocks and waterfalls. Slow speed fails. It is the binding that breaks them (except on my scout, it was just a tank). Here is my old cj5 on 33's and 44s TJ on 35's and 44s: JK, same spot on doran (double falls) 40's and 60s:

There is no question I am an idiot. I have broken every 30 I have had. I have even bent a trussed 30 on my scout going up Odessa canyon (barstow). All on 33" tires. So to idiot proof my rides, I have swapped to 44's for 35" and 60's for 40". I have only broken one locker cross shaft on a 44. If...

When speaking to JK owners about TJ stuff, hand gestures are helpful. :unsure:

If you wait long enough on the : Bleed ABS and brakes again (since the J8 install), they may self bleed (unless abs was evacked). Twice now (on two builds) I have been lucky or at least surprised to find no air in the system. To be fair, I did remove the abs on my 2000 TJ. The other was a '72 CJ5

Buy it under your name and rent it to your company. That way it is not tied to anything on the company side. BIG or full right off there. Use that LLC to your advantage. Even better is to incorporate, this would provide the corporate shield or veil. Love the plans! I will be stuck with a simple...

I had an address just in case. but they did not need it. For insurance I gave them an address in Williams that the vehicle would be "stored" at. All paperwork from both insurance and DMV were sent to my home address in kali.

That looks like a chat gpt response. I use gpt, but always double check with a known source. Often gpt will confuse years and other details. Actually, it always gets something wrong on this type of stuff. Re ask and tell it to focus on the years you need and switch to longer thinking. I bet you...

Smog only if you have it registered in Phoenix. Yes on the insurance. Much cheaper than kali. I do not have a AZ DL. they did not ask for any DL.

Ya, hindsight says the emissions tests were not complete. No one would say it though. Not even the ref. He said I had to drive it to clear some codes and then bring it back for the rest of the checks. He was measuring distances, cross referencing OE specs, etc, it was not going to be fun . I did...

Are these Cerakoted'? I notice the Bronze looks like "burnt bronze" and Titanium is also a Cerakote color.

Seconded on the Jscan. I live in Kali and have not had a problem (yet). I did have a issue on my TJ with some other odd thing that I never did figure out. I went for a normal smog check (it had passed the previous check) and the technician stopped the check mid inspection and asked if I had a...

Agreed. I have used stacked plate coolers for a while now. It is possible that back in 2009, that was what they ran with, but I suspect one of the new owners (there were 4 total, I am #4) had a less than professional shop install it. It was the type that has the push pins that attach it to the...

All of my info is second hand from the previous owner. I had never heard of Ron Davis before this Jeep. The po said the cooling setup was part of the package. I believe it was rebuilt in Phoenix or maybe Gilbert az (2009) The main swap hardware and computer was from hemiswap.com. They are out o...
