How do you like the brakes?Replaced my brakes and rotors with the PowerStop Z36 kit. Pads were toast and my front rotors seem to keep warping, so it was cheaper to slap these on instead of having a shop machine them all. Of course, I now have to wonder if Discount Tire torquing half my fucking lug nuts well beyond 130ft/lbs. had anything to do with it.
And while I had the front wheels off, I replaced a damaged boot on my Steersmarts drag link.
They're great. I wasn't looking for better braking performance so much as just trying to avoid any further warping of my rotors, but it's got somewhat better stopping power. I'm running 37s, so it should help, but only time will tell.
Where did you get your pre-cut window tint from? Link?Got these I had ordered and stashed one on each side.
Also decided to attempt my own front driver and pass window tint. I purchased precut and it went on so easy I was shocked.
Why 18”? I’ve seen people match roof height as a marker but why this?Just cut my factory antenna to 18”. I do this to every vehicle I get. I’ll paint this one black when I get some paint but for now it works.
I just pop the ball off the end, cut it where I want and then grind down the thicker new end until I’m able to mount the little ball back on for a stock look.
Here’s a before during and after pics. Not bad for free.
I was going to do roof height and I may still do that. I still had my old antenna when I swapped it so I may change my mind. The reason I went 18” was Ive seen it at stores that way and my purpose for doing it was just to get it lower as it was way too high. I don’t use FM radio so I really don’t need it at all. I also plan to paint it black as well but didn’t have any paint at the time.
Of course I had to look up what a haboob was. I thought it was some international delicacy.
Spent a few years at RAF Alconbury myself.... There must have been a requirement to be named James to get those assignments.....lolYou're the second forum member to ask me that question.
Yep, I was stationed at Crooked Creek from June 1987 through May 1989. My buddy from Tech School (Sheppard AFB) was stationed at Mildenhall at the same time.
The stories I could tell...
PM me if you want to chew the fat.

I thought it was a waste, having 2x 20ft whip hoses on top of a 4 tire Speedflate manifold, until yesterday evening. My wife mentioned her tpms light has been on for a couple days. I needed the extra length to avoid moving the jeep closer. I couldn't get my jacket and boots on quick enough. Practically skipped my way out to the jeep in excitement. (Yeah, I know fellas. I'm still shrugging off the noobness.) With hose in hand, I dropped to my knees and blew that light until it smiled at me in satisfaction.
Looks great, nicely done, and thank you for the link. Question for you.., was the back already the factory tint? If so, what percentage did you buy, looks like a dead match if you only did the fronts.
Thats a STAR connector. Similar to an ethernet switch. It is for the computer that controlls just about everything on your Jeep. I had to plug in a wire for my AEV Procal snap to the left one and insert pins into the OBD 2 port for it to work.While confirming access to the cabin air filter, I saw the pictured electrical connection assemblies. What's their purpose, and can they serve as a source for accessory 12V power? Just curious; I've no plans to do anything with them.
I have that. There is plenty of room in the gaps around the steel door for your usb cable to come outI installed the Tuffy console safe. Lining up the screw holes was a pain, and of course the instructions could use improvement (why do so many vendors struggle with this straightforward duty?)
The job is done, though, and it promises to provide a decent degree of security. The observed loss of interior storage space is modest, and is a fair trade-off for the security that is to be gained here.
The ad copy on the vendor site, "Allows use of the factory USB outlet inside", requires qualification. Access to this outlet is now affected by an adjacent bolt on the right brace; be sure to take the necessary care when plugging in the cord.
Also, there's no pass-through hole for the cord on the locking console cover (as there is on the factory console itself). Any device that is connected to the interior USB outlet will need to stay inside the console. Alternately, a hole may be drilled into and grommet may be added to the locking cover in order to create the desired accommodation here.
No, not really...unless there are material manufacturing variances in Tuffy's console safe.
Been wanting to do this exact same thing! Any chance you can provide where you got the parts from and the numbers? I already have the digital gauge, i just dont have the connecter/adaptors and new hose.Didn’t do anything to my Jeep, but this was for my Jeep. Modified my smittybilt 2781 compressor with a heavier duty hose with quick disconnects, a quick attach digital tire gauge so I can actually ready the correct pressure while airing up, and bolted it into a plastic tool box for easy transport. Also has extra space for gloves, extra hose, tools, compressor parts, etc.
