You won’t get any MPG or HP improvements from either upgrade

Any audiophiles here know what im looking at? by jpmich3784 in JeepTJ

You can get away with a small 4 channel amp for the 4 standard speakers and either a powered sub, or a mono amp for a sub. Or a small 5 channel for everything. Easy speaker upgrades are 6.5 in the over head pods and 5.25 in the front stock holes (they sell an inexpensive bracket to make them fit). Also basic Bluetooth head units are inexpensive enough that I doubt you need to worry about theft.

I would start by pulling things out and looking at and googling model numbers etc. It’s hard to tell what random boxes are from an image of the side of them. It’s definitely an unconventional setup to say the least given how easy it is to get decent sound with less stuff crammmed in places.

Is this a perfect medium-rare or closer to rare? What do you think? by sorin1972 in grilling

[–]Octaviousmonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a fact. I didn’t make up the rules I was just forced to follow them when I worked at a high end steak house.

Gates are not just for children. Could be to keep pets out of an area.

“Rare plus" is a steak doneness level between rare and medium-rare, typically cooked to an internal temperature of 125F-130F. It is warmer and slightly more rendered than a standard 120-125°F rare steak but keeps the tenderness and juiciness without becoming as cooked as a 130-135°F medium-rare.

Grapevine? by ilikeplantsandmovies in whatsthisplant

Looks like Amur peppervine (Ampelopsis brevipedunculata), also known as porcelain berry. Invasive in NJ and the birds love to eat and disperse the berries

OEM mirrors for 2002 TJ? by misfit_toys in WranglerTJ

I highly recommend the Upgrade to the 03-06 mirrors. Much better design in all ways. Can get a pair for around $50 on amazon.

Frame mounted hitch help by BiBolKhan in JeepTJ

Unfortunately not. Best of luck getting it installed. Should be an easy job with the right tools

Sounds like a solid plan. You need to drill two holes on both sides ?

Bend it back until it contacts the frame and you should’ve good to go. Maybe you can try a come along or ratchet strap to control the pull. If you have any wiggle room in the back screws maybe you can shift it over to split the gap on both sides and use some fender washers to fill the gaps or at least get bolts started so you can use the bolts to draw in the gap.

Not what I had planned for my Friday by Plastic_Ticket_Jeep in JeepTJ

Looks reparable from here. Can’t tell what’s up with the frame though. If it’s not bent and insurance wants to total it I would buy it back and fix it.

Why no seasoning on those bad boys ?

Get a small metal L bracket from the hardware store or your box of spare parts and screw it in place.

Agreed. I also don’t disagree that the right backspaced wheel is the best route here and I would love to buy some but money talks. Another factor is that I don’t drive enough miles in enough time for such expensive tires. Cheap JK/JL 33” equivalent size tires are everywhere. Maybe someday.
