    What did you do to your JK today?

    I think the vendor that originally came up with this was Molle Platform Solutions and theirs are supposed to be spod compatible. Today I actually snagged a sweet Craigslist deal. I had been wanting to get a set of factory 1/2 doors for a few years now and have balked at what they are new & what...

    2008 JK rough idle cannot drive stalls

    There is a ground connection that is in a b*tch of place on the passenger side. While you're troubleshooting, I'd inspect this one for breaks/corrosion. This video shows the location:

    Baxter Oil Filter Adapter

    That was slightly different, but kind of the same topic with "dry starts". I question specifically whether this mod would make any difference in wear. I agree I don't think anybody's going to spend the money to do the research when they can just make the money by selling the product. Okay...

    Baxter Oil Filter Adapter

    I was thinking the same thing (about leaving the oil film behind). Engine design has to work within cost constraints, so there are likely areas that can be improved, but it seems the cost is high for any real benefit gained. Would like to see empirical evidence, say two identical engines with...

    How often do you typically take the hard top off, or AITAH?

    I understand the ROI here, but I probably would. That said, it is a PITA when you don't have a good system or place to store it. Sympathies... ;)

    Tire air pressure

    Chalk test is where you run a line of chalk across the tread of the tire and then drive and see where it wears. You want an even wear. If it wears off in the center more than at the edges, you're still over inflated. I don't recall what the factory settings are, but the placard on your door...

    Picking up this beauty at 4:30 today

    Outstanding! I've missed out on several over the years, and they aren't getting easier to find... IIRC, it's "technically" still a TJ just a TJ unlimited since LJ was never an official designation - just like JK & JK Unlimited. But everyone knows it's a Teej. :) Have you spent time on the TJ...

    Faded bumpers and flares.

    Sahara's have the color matched ones. Find new or used and re-paint? Could even paint them satin black, if you like the contrast. I've used Mothers Back to Black, Forever Black, Solution Finish, Aerospace 303, heat gun... None last really long in my experience. Mothers isn't bad or very...
