    98 Jeep ZJ "SHTFV"

    Great work on your bumpers and roof rack. I think everyone's quite envious of the rear tire carrier. I think ZJ hatches are a bit finicky. Mine just started having this fit where while I'm driving at night, the VIC will flash that the rear hatch is open and the lights will flash on and off...

    depression on my mod

    While looking for ways to implement cruise control on my brothers 90' XJ, I stumbled upon this: http://www.4x4xplor.com/handthrottle.html It's used primarily for manuals in rough terrain areas where two feet just don't cut it. But I've also seen it used for a DIY cruise control situation...

    4.0l vs 5.2l

    Especially if you can find one with 107K for $2600 before haggling. My girlfriend's father originally bought mine for $2600 with 18X,XXX miles and I bought it from him for $2300.

I was sitting in a parking lot, with the Jeep off and the vehicle kept lurching forward. Needless to say, i assumed something was bad. I favored the...

    Hello! My name is Jake, I stumbled across this forum while on another forum for Jeeps. I never really knew this type of "lifestyle" existed. I'm a pretty hands on type of guy and plan to do most, if not all modifications for my Jeep. This is my first Jeep, and being all around car guy, i love...
