Hello Tennessee Jeepers. I’ll be in Nashville for a few days soon and if there’s wheeling nearby (within an hour or two?) I would probably like to give it a go. Any suggestions?

Found something I can’t live without. Anything going for Black Friday?

I’ve got various audio components intended for a past build that I ended up up abandoning. They have been sitting brand new in my closet for a few years. Time to clear them out. Rockford Fosgate 3SIXTY. Brand new, never installed. $200. MB Quart PVM216 2-way component speakers. 1.5” titanium...

I’ve got USGP tickets but I’m an old fart and don’t really care to stay for the concerts in the evening. I think the tickets can be transferred. If you definitely want to attend, PM me and we can figure it out.

So my wife bought a used Nissan Versa Note (1.6l) from Carvana as a commuter. It looks as if some of the maintenance has been neglected. There’s sludge in the engine. The dipstick looks terrible. You can readily see it in the oil fill opening. So far I’ve run some Seafoam in the tank, top...

If you’ve modded your Jeep with getting over rocks as your goal, what specific mod or mods has turned out to have the most benefit for you? Why? What you’ve you bought or done that you might skip next time?

I’ve got the MB Quart full system to install in my Jeep. It’s not particularly complex, but I’m considering having a pro do the install instead of DIY because of some circumstances that have arisen recently that limit my time and ability to do it myself. The issue is that I’m detail oriented...

My wife currently drives a GS350 F Sport. She wants to get an RX SUV. Who’s got one? What variant? How do you like it?

I’m considering upgrading the sound system to the MB Quart speakers and amps. Having looked at the installation instructions the rack and amps are to be mounted underneath the front passenger seat. I’ve got my air compressor there and strongly prefer not to move it. For anyone who has mounted...

I seldom need towing/flat tire assistance/ jump start etc. However my better half is a completely different story. Not only does she seem to find herself in these situations, she’s neither calm nor rational nor reasonable at all when it happens. The cost isn’t really an issue for us, when I...

When I’ve got some time I’ll post a trail report for the one trail (really a road) that I was able to ride this weekend. Who can guess where it is? Hints: it’s within about 6 hours drive from Houston. It’s not famous. It’s a little bit scenic in its own way. It’s near a lake. Fall colors are...

Trip journal for our trip to Colorado. Scott, feel free to post as well. Friday 9/2/22 mile 0 Leaving home in Baytown, TX with the crew. Planning to spend the night half way (Amarillo) and proceed on to Ouray tomorrow. We are meeting @DaddyEngineer in Ouray on Saturday evening to wheel in...

I have always flushed or bled brake lines starting with the farthest from the master cylinder working bank to the closest (RR, RL, FR, FL). I’ve seen a couple of videos from professional mechanics that do the opposite. Why would you do this? What am I missing?

I got a bumper with cutouts for 2.5” round lights. This is not a good size as far as choices go, the options available are for commercial truck marker or clearance lamps. Lots of amber and red options, very few LED options in the size, and none that look good to me. I reached out to @Baja...

Here’s the deal: I’m getting a new set of tires. I’m taking off a set of 5 Milestar Patagonia tires with about 19K or so on them. No punctures, cuts, chunks, or weird tread wear. Rotated 2 or 3 times, wear is fairly even. Yours for $150. Just 5 tires, no wheels. Why so cheap? Because I’m...

I’m considering these two tires for my next set very soon. I know there’s opinions from one end of the scale to the other about every tire out there. If you’ve run either, or preferably both, on your Jeep tell me what you liked or disliked about them. What information or advice do you have...

I’ve got a RockHard 4x4 winch guard for OEM bumpers. $60. I’ve also got a steel OEM Rubicon rear bumper with Oracle LED backup lights for sale. It has reverse sensor holes, no sensors. Includes red tow hook and tow hitch+mounting bolts. $200 Available for local pickup in the Houston area.

Used Mopar tailgate reinforcement. Missing the 8 13mm bolts that fasten the spare tire holder to the gate (use your own or but new ones) and one spacer. I’ll include 2 properly sized washers to substitute for the spacer. I dropped it when removing it and it’s vanished. The part is intact and...

I’m hoping there’s someone that can help me or point me in the right direction regarding graphic design for some T-shirts I want to have made. I need two things. First, does anyone know where can I find a line map graphic of Black Bear Pass? Like the one below, but I don’t want this shirt. I...
