    Are these the Moab wheels?

    I think it's best to do a 5-wheel/tire rotation. It evens out the wear, allowing you to get more miles out of a set of tires. It also prevents potential damage to your gears when running one wheel/tire with a larger circumference than the others, which could happen if you need to use the spare...

    Detroit Truetrac

    That's damn reasonable. Hey Tom, if shipping could be under a hundred, what would you want for one of those diffs? Can we work this out? I don't know how much they weigh, but you could figure out shipping costs to the zip code 95971 and see if you'd be willing to do that. I'm sure it's somewhat...

    Detroit Truetrac

    I was afraid of that. Wellll, bummer. Yeah, figured as much. I don't mind spending a lot of money on my KJ, I just don't want to pay twice for something. I hadn't really considered putting a locker in the rear, but you guys make a good case. Although I'm not sure I will find myself in...

    Detroit Truetrac

    I am under the impression that a minimalist drivetrain, yet still trail capable, would include a Detroit Truetrac in the front differential. Correct? Although not as good as other types of lockers, this should work very well for the kind of trail driving I do and especially good for use...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    That's exactly why some of us have complained about the visibility of links on JeepKJ.com. Maybe you can use your powers as an admin to either fix that or convince the boss to do it. It's really annoying. Just sayin'.

    This is a hard post to write

    See, that's why I don't like people. They get sick, they move away, they die, they sell their KJs and they do stuff like that right after I get to likin' them. :( Maybe there's still hope... you keep in touch with Tom and his addiction might rub off on you. Before you know it, you'll be lookin'...

    Hopefully, you will learn before too long that there's a difference between never being done and having to do everything over again.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Used my KJ as a backdrop for a video. https://youtu.be/6qc9pwvx7rw Made lots of mistakes that made it much longer than it shoulda been, but it made at least 18 people happy.

    Solid chrome lugs: $23

    Yep, including those special locking nuts. One of my employees lost a nice set of wheels & tires he protected with some expensive locking nut on every tire - the very next day. And it's still against the law to shoot those thieves here. :(

    Solid chrome lugs: $23

    I got these in black, but they come in a high quality chrome too. More expensive, but worth it to me. A lot harder to steal. DPAccessories 24 Chrome 1/2-20 Closed End Duplex XL Spline Lug Nuts for Aftermarket Wheels

    On second thought... I did develop this one from that trip. It's not great, but it's not terrible either. :D

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yep, except the freon stuff and hazmat. Their shop rate is $89.00 per hour. They don't charge for tire rotations, if you have an oil & lube too. The office lady told me that freeby is usually only applied to those who don't bring their own fluids though. But she added, regular customers also...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I threw $363.74 on the counter to have my A/C compressor/clutch, refrigerant hose, accumulator, belt tensioner and serpentine belt replaced, an oil & lube and a 5-tire rotation done. All labor except for hazmat and R134A. I bought all my own parts and fluids, otherwise. Seems like an awful lot...

    Ooh, pretty lights make bling-bling. :flash: Hmmm, that prob'ly makes it much easier to see under the hood. You got a post about that someplace?

    Trail rated emblem

    You don't need no steenking emblem... to show you are trail rated. It's a Jeep! Heck, I even took off the Jeep badging and ever'one still knows it's a Jeep.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Drove it for the first time in several days. Worried the belt will break (there's a chip out of it and the pulley on the A/C is rattling). There's a fire raging about a mile up the hill from me and smoke everywhere, so I've been sweating it out at home. But I had to go out to get a hot meal...

    21" bosch evolution wipers $1.99 + $5 flat rate shipping

    I checked the same model for 19" and Amazon still said the wipers would not fit my KJ.

    21" bosch evolution wipers $1.99 + $5 flat rate shipping

    Amazon says these won't fit my 2005 KJ. Is it because they aren't J-hook?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The nearby forest fires and all the smoke forced me to drive my KJ to the hospital last night. I prob'ly shouldn't have driven myself because I was coughing a lot and dizzy and my breathing was labored, but I did anyway. I was released early this morning. I'm feeling better, but the smoke is a...
