What did you do to your jeep today?
First time in history I actually had to plug a tire... Of course it happens the day after I pulled the spare off the swing gate. I kid you not, this has never happened to me before. Good news is I got the delete done-ish. Will wire up the mini light bar reverse, running and sequential turn...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Started the spare tire delete. What should have been a simple pop and swap has become a multi-day project due to my deeply conditioned requirements for Mil-Spec wiring connections. Am absolutely shocked at the flimsy nature of the factory mount...and the poor quality standards for parts of the...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Hit a rough patch out on the interstate today, got the dash lights and codes for the infamous wheel speed/abs sensor. Self cleared after a shut off and short drive. Time to find some moogs. Took advantage of unseasonable weather to start the spare tire delete. Should be finished tomorrow.- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
I've only done it on flat fours. The Only tricky part is how badly the spring itself broke. If part of it made it through the valve...or dinged the seat and piston as others said.- Johnny O

Metals Preservation
Well folks, issues have arisen. The Duplicolor etch primer was garbage, going on like fine sand and not bonding at all. One could wipe it off with a finger after 48 hours cure time. The Rustoleum etch primer went on perfectly and after a 300 ultra fine wet sand provided a magnificent base for...- Johnny O

Hate to say it but that sounds like water in the fuel. Did you gas up right before it happened? Hope Im wrong.- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Been up since 0400. Spent most of the day doing prep and paint on a bunch of goodies while getting a ton of work done in the Lab. Was not impressed with the duplicolor acid etch primer. perhaps I just got a bad can, but it went on like fine sand. It did not bond well and came right off with wet...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Can be. Kroil for stuff that looks like it has been underwater for a decade and can be soaked in a tub. AeroKroil for g.p. use. Free All for dry stuff that may have rust seized threads with thread locker. I use both. I think since Aero Kroil and heat failed, a good dose of Free All for a day or...- Johnny O

Honestly Blunt Review: Ignik Fire Can
The Ignik FireCan is the nearly perfect overlanding (I loath that term. Overlanding is just expensive car camping) solution to portable campfires. Burn Bans (which are not just for wood- liquid fuel based portable campfires and "giant candles in a can" portable fires are banned during those too)...- Johnny O

Honestly Blunt Review #? (Dumping numbering these things) AstroAI 12/110-120 volt Car refrigerator.
Note: I purchased this item in 2022 AstroAI Car Fridge, 22L size There are a ton of car fridges on the market. Most of them are either overpriced (ARB and Yeti I am pointing at you...) or under powered. The AstroAI is the nearly perfect balance between cost and function. I tested and...- Johnny O

Metals Preservation
The stripper I reverse engineered and modified is Benco B17 by Spectra Coatings. I decided to share that detail since the formula is on the readily available SDS/MSDS. It didn't say "Proprietary formula" so I have broken no laws. I am going on record questioning the hydrofluoric acid in the...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
The mad dash to get some upgrades and modifications done is real. My home workshop, usually reserved for fossil preparation and fine art, has become the staging area for Jeep Stuff. The fume hood in my personal lab at work has been converted to a paint booth. Got lazy and filled the glassware...- Johnny O
