So after a long, cold Wisconsin winter we got our first few days of warm weather. I've a 2019 Wrangler with the hard top. Yesterday I took off the freedom panels only to find out that the top trim piece of my windshield rattles like crazy. It's the piece that spans the entire window frame and...

So two years ago while towing an elderly person's possessions from Washington State to Wisconsin I damaged my fly wheel in the stock clutch. The Rockies proved to be a bit too much. Rescuing the 85yo from the fires and smoke and chaos was paramount so I pushed the weight limit a bit. Anyway, I...

Here's an old pic from this time of year. This is most likely 1990. I'm all "dressed up" for Christmas. Usually I look like I'm going camping. At that time I usually was. Is just graduated art school and had an actual career related job. I worked for a small set fabrication studio in...

I'm lazy and just put on new tires. My wife's Prius rarely leaves the garage. I still clear her side just in case she has to go anywhere.

Behold! My wife discovered what was once common but has seemed to have disappeared. I've combed our home for two years looking for one. Today, whilst cleaning up the attic one was found! Now I'll be all set the next time I have to run wires!

I know everyone hates the ESS and there are many methods of disabling it, from pushing the off button to rewiring the batteries. I have a unique need. I take a lot of photography and one of the genres is wildlife. There are many times I've spotted an animal/bird/whatever as I'm driving. I keep...

So yesterday I installed the Cobra CB and the CoolTech interior mount. I mounted my antenna off of my fender using the Topsy mount. Before using it I took out onto a prairie ridge with nothing around it and was able to tune it using an SRW meter. So here's the thing. I have to remove my...

I was doing a deep clean of my windshield. I noticed a couple of covered holes that look like they lead into the cab/dash area? Does anyone know where they come out and how to access them from inside? Always looking for a firewall pass through. I have a manual transmission so that sides tied...

So I'm a photographer. The local museum put together a community art show, "Driftless Strong 2020." Due to being really tied up with crazy life stuff on the deadline for submissions I gave them a download password for the entire pandemic era collection. I told them to take "ANYTHING." And they...

Last May 2019, with only 7000 miles on my manual transmission it burnt up while cruising down the highway. One second we were all chill and the next we could smell burning clutch and lost all forward thrust. My local deanship swapped it out under warranty. I mentioned the slipping disk issue I'd...

My mother forwarded me this photo that was shared on a FB group from my hometown, Butler, PA. As some of you may already know, that's the birthplace of our beloved toys. Anyway, here's a Bantam BRC being tested. For a few years as a teen I actually lived just over the hill from where these...

So my 2019 JLU is starting to have an odd bug. Beginning last week, every time I turn on my Jeep the defrost goes full blast soon thereafter. I have to turn it off and restart the engine. It'll go back to my normal setting. Every. Single. Time. There have been no recent changes or anything...

At 4:30am I began to drive the 700 miles home in order to make it Christmas Eve with my wife and daughter. I hit heavy fog as I left Prospect, PA and it continued for most of the day. My fog lights did the job! It was like viewing a Deep Sea dive! Thankfully it was mostly chill freight trucks...

So I have a 2019 JLU with the cloth seats and installed the Slipstream. I often have the back seats folded down and use a rubber sheet to cover the back of them. It's ok when I have the top & doors on but when I take them off I have to use ratchet straps to keep it from blowing out. I'm...

So I don't normally listen under the hood when my Jeep's in the Run mode. Today I was adding some AUX lights, so hit the ignition button twice. I hear this crackling sounds and a high pitched whine. Here's a video I shot. Is this supposed to sound like that?? Edited: forgive the typo in the...

I'm looking at various a-pillar mounts for lights. One that caught my eye is the Rigid A-Pillar Mount f/2 D-Series. While I can see their photos of it on a Jeep, I can not envision how they're being attached? It looks like there are two holes, but my windshield hinges don't seem to have...

I already have the cargo management system installed. It came with the rails, tie down clips and a nice cargo mat. I really want the cargo liner that goes onto the back of the seats. I only find them as part of the more complete cargo liner kit, which includes the heavy rubber mat that I already...

So what's the best method of removing mud and clay stains from hood decals? This one's the Quadratech. I used a clay bar on the painted sections but want to be sure before I used it on the decals. Here's a pic. I need to give it a good wash so excuse the dirty paint.

I've nearly 7000 miles on a custom ordered 2019 that was delivered in December. Issues I've had were a constantly crashing dash cluster, the center console handle breaking right away, and defroster issues. Today I can add having my transmission just going. Nothing unusual. I was cruising down...

I'm part of the Wisconsin Golden Gloves organization. This week I drove my JLU 12 hours south to Chattanooga, Tennessee. We brought down the entire state boxing team for the National Tournament. For weeks I worked on my baby to get it ready for this trip. I'm so glad I did too. The athletes...
