    11 miles per gallon.....it's not good, but is it bad?

    Hi all, Just want to check on my fuel economy. City driving, I get 11 miles. The Jeep is lifted, bigger tires (245 R16) and a roof rack. Does it sound excessive? It feels excessive :) Thanks

    Window regulator clip 3d print

    Hi all, I've done a search, but no luck. Yes, the old window regulator plastic clip problem. Left rear broke for the second time, yesterday. Is there perhaps a 3D printing file available somewhere for this? Getting it shipped to my part of the world (again) is a costly affair. Thanks

    KJ 8.25in differential questions

    Hi all, I see it's been almost a year. After looking almost everywhere I could not find a KJ with an open carrier in my part off the world. Looks like all of them were imported with the Trac-Loc. So, on to option 2. I finally bought a KK rear end. They are available everywhere. It came out...
