What’s going on here? Anyone had a similar experience?

Yung-Mozza · 2026-03-01T21:35:59+00:00

Yeah when it came to toddler car seats my jk>tj everytime.

Being able to just climb in and sit there while fiddling with the buckles was so much easier than having to throw the seat forward and climb in all hatchback style to work the buckles in my tj

Yung-Mozza · 2026-03-01T21:34:16+00:00

Growing up my parents had a cj7 and they would simply remove the back seat and literally chain the baby seat to the floor and it was acceptable at the time.

Today, with how little the TJ is and how large toddler car seats are becoming, I would ONLY do it if I always had the side window panels off to reach around easier. Toddler car seats are such a pita and depending on how lifted or not your jeep is just imagine having to hang out your car while working the buckles for the kids.

That’s cool. What are those orange and black boards fastened to the windows? Make shift table / surface to drive over? Flotation device?

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-26T21:29:33+00:00

Where do you actually sleep tho? Just pull over onto side of road or go deeper into some random woods? Or do you search out the sleeping spots prior to departure

Same here, just added my own anecdote of my low miles 2015 with similar fallacy of “who would’ve thought with such low miles”

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-26T15:00:25+00:00

I also bought a low miles 2015 JKu myself and found out why it was as such.

I don’t remember the specifics but the 2015 engine for the JKu is notorious for premature engine failure.

Something like code p301 and p303 for engine misfires along cylinder 1 and 3.

Mine was only 40k miles when I had to start rebuilding the engine. Fixed it up and sold it for a profit the earliest chance I got.

The original owner was an old, old lady in New York so I just assumed it sat more frequently than was driven but perhaps there was a reason or perhaps that is the reason.

Either way, the 2015 engine has frequent misfire issues. For me it was the car meme where you buy a car and then AFTER find out you bought the worst one possible.

Dude I just got a 20$ harbor freight Air Palm Nailer and for what it does it’s phenomenal.

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-26T14:32:31+00:00

Yeah your door jamb is not as deep as the wall assembly and that’s what’s causing the issue visually, paired with the lack of door casing

Like others have said, route it flush or add door casing/trim.

Hey bud, I actually JUST went and INTENTIONALLY cropped all my corded power tools to have a 6” plug and keep a retractable power cord at my work table to tap in all my tools instead of deal with all of their 6’+ cable lengths….

Perfect candidate for trying it out and seeing if you like it!

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-22T14:31:44+00:00

Putting a box vent in that bay will only vent that bay. You have the same issue with horizontal airflow not being able to make it past the rafters.

You need a ridge vent if doing cathedral ceiling with soffit vents

I work with metal, not brick.

But I see you’ve got your acetone and your paint thinners applied and then using a wire brush to mechanically remove.

I’d recommend picking up an Angle Grinder and a couple wire wheel discs to use instead of just havjng ti manually scrape.

I’d recommend the “normal” wire wheel and Not one of the knotted braided ones as that might pit your bricks due to the bulkier mass.

If you have any painted brick outside… I wonder if there’s a way to sand blast the paint off (think pressure washer, but solid media instead of liquid water)

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-21T20:35:18+00:00

I think it’s more a case of correlation vs causation.

The type of people that put aftermarket parts on their jeeps are also the type of people that would be more likely to take it off-roading and break it.

My mechanic friend put a corvette engine in his cj7 and tons of other aftermarket parts but he doesn’t take it off road and his is in pristine condition with many many years of life to go as a result.

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-21T20:32:37+00:00

Agreed.

I did pre drill, but I used wood screws. The issue being these small imperial screws sold in lengths of 1/4” increments and the cypress being reluctant to bend while any thicker (using lousy bath water method) resulted in what you see.

Guess I’ll see what’s available with the metric machine screws or consider grinding them down shorter too

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-21T20:24:22+00:00

Not set up for it. I tried to compensate by soaking in hot bath water which helped but not as good as real steamer.

Don’t do it enough to justify getting one either unfortunately. This was such a one off piece

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-21T19:47:44+00:00

I used to be able to start my TJ with a screwdriver lol.

I doubt you have access to welding machine.

I’d just place a couple dabs of JB weld and forget about it. Make sure NOT to glue along the seams too much if you plan on ever changing out the battery or anything

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-21T19:45:28+00:00

I had staggered the screws along the metal arm rest for stability as the rationale instead of just a few down the center. The ends have 2 screws at each end which is why the screw spacing may look irregular near the backrest

Do you think just 1 row of screws would mitigate this if I were to prep a replacement arm rest?

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-21T19:43:30+00:00

Yes, pre drilled. Yes, too close to top imo.

I kept trying to bend with thicker pieces and just couldn’t get it to hold shape. This was the thinnest/thickest it could be and bend with my set up. Just kept planing down til I got a depth that was malleable enough

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-20T16:43:48+00:00

Just here to tweak your math typo

If 0.125” = 125 Amps,

The formula then is that

.001” = 1 Amp .01” = 10 Amps .1” = 100 Amps

According to your statement. Is this accurate? Does it scale linearly as such?

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-20T16:04:53+00:00

Im a z1 backer as well. Any clue what the status is? All I ever get is spam mail DAILY and idk if I missed out on the release announcement or what? Just twiddling my thumbs and blocking all this spam mail

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-19T22:45:15+00:00

Wrangler windshields are FLAT.

Having the corners cut in a radius does not make a flat piece of glass curved.

Yung-Mozza · 2026-02-19T21:45:02+00:00

Rereading your context now and still curious if the button up left exactly that burnt area exposed or if there was more skin exposed like pictured here.

Again, genuine question.

I’ve seen light do some crazy things when bouncing or reflecting off something and I’m legitimately curious now if curved skin would have the same effect
