    What did you do to your jeep today?

    thanks @tommudd - would you recommend replacing the whole front drive shaft vs. rebuilding the rear CV?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    earlier today I shifted into 4WD full-time during some hard rain and I heard some clunking noises, so when I got home I looked underneath at my front drive shaft (there is some front to back play, so likely time to rebuild or replace). BUT, I found this hose hanging out on the driver's side...

    slowly getting rid of the chrome: I also added a piece to the front skid so it won't shovel up so much mud and rocks on the trail:

    @tommudd I am actually going to change the chrome grill and side molding to navy to match the body color

    front engine skid question

    thanks @tommudd - I picked up a piece of sheet metal to fab something up (not too many road signs laying around in my neck of the woods) but I was mostly just curious when I saw the weld nuts on the factory skid, like why would they put those on if there wasn't also a factory radiator skid?

    Gas Tank skid (2007)

    Thanks - yeah I keep an eye on eBay, Craigslist, and my two local salvage yards. And yeah, the eBay seller's explanation didn't make a lot of sense to me, plus there were other red flags after I made the purchase. They marked the item as "shipped" when in fact that was just a letter...

    Gas Tank skid (2007)

    Thanks - I should have mentioned that in the first place. I did find several options online for the Mopar used part or an aftermarket original skid plate for $350-$400+ but I'm hoping to spend $150 or less for a used Mopar skid plate (the one listed on eBay that fell through was $129).

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    some people just suck. sorry to hear about this. hope it works out. i worry about leaving my tool/recovery gear strapped up top with my hi lift...they are locked and secured with cable, but we all know that's just a deterrent to keep honest people honest...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I have a roof cargo basket like this on my KJ: I have been looking off and on for years for a short storage bin or box of sorts that I could put in the basket to hold tools, recovery gear, etc. so I'm not taking up valuable interior space. I bought this...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    @tommudd you are always so quick to reply - thanks for your expertise as always. I thought about that but the 3 bolts to my bracket aren't easily accessible unless I remove the whole stabilizer bar, and even then the bottom bolt is partially obscured by the driveshaft, so not sure how I would...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Okay looking for help/advice...I've spent the better part of yesterday and all of this morning so far struggling with what I thought would be a relatively easy job of replacing the rear upper control arm on my 07 KJ. The fun started when the metal piece welded to the pinch bolt head (which...
