...at least I will be officially come Tuesday. After much soul searching, angst, and trepidation we decide to let our beloved truck, Haggis, retire to greener pastures. While He was running in great shape and was serving yoeman duties for the Clan, the PA winters have started getting the...

Does anyone publish a Gazetteer style map for Canadian Provinces? If so where can they be purchased? My searches so far have been futile. It's looking like the Clan will be visiting our neighbors to the north early this summer and though we have 2 GPS systems, we like to run with a hardcopy...

I'm thinking hard on fitting a new bumber to the front of my Ram. PA salt is eating the stock one and if it's gonna go I might as put something more likely to survive a deer strike and be more useful up front. I don't like the Ranch Hand ones I see around here, and though the ARB unit is...

I'm looking for a good set of Rubicon flares for my LJ. Anybody got a set of takeoffs you'e tired of collecting dust in the garage? Pm me if you've got anything.

With talk of the coming of the first flakes of winter, the kids brought up the fact that we need a couple of new sleds for careening down hill sides. My buddy and I were telling the kids about how we use to mod up old car hoods with handholds to use as "party sleds" and fly down a hill with a...

I was just curious to see if the time honored practice of going spotlighting is just a regional thing around here or if it is a country wide phenomon. When the farmers start picking their cornfields and the nights get colder, it always been a tradition to load up the family and hit the back...

After running these tires for three months and 4000 miles on my LJ it's time for a review. The Tires in question are Dean Mud Terrrians SXTs, made by Copper. The tires are made in the Findlay, Oh plant on the same carcass as the Copper ST. Originally I was looking at the ST or at another set...

I just picked up a hardtop for my LJ. My wife doesn't like the white gel coat in the interior and suggested I paint it charcoal to match the Jeep's interior. Any suggestions as far as technique or paint product? Any pics?

After thinking and rethinking about how I wanted to mount a CB in the LJ, I finally got it done. I didn't want to mount the CB on the side of the console because I want full use of the slide function of the front seats, and I didn't want to mount it on the dash above the console cause I 've got...

Well , Clan Haggis has just come inside from a couple of hours on the range. Youth Turkey Day is Saturday and Allison is rearing to go. So we were out shooting her new shotgun again to get her back in the groove. Now I'm a great believer in natural shooting and spend alot of time teaching the...

Times come to get some rocker armor for my LJ. Been doing alot of ckecking with some of the local boys and some reading here and elsewhere, and haven't quite made up my mind as to what style I want, tub mounted or frame mounted. I'm leaning towards the frame mounted ones like the Body Armor...

Last week when we were in Kauai, we decide to rent a Jeep. And since my wife, Michelle, has been thinking about trading her car and getting herself another Jeep (she misses her old '98 ZJ), we elected to rent a JK Unlimited, because that was what she is most interested in. We own an '04 LJ...

Last April my parents announced that they were going to rent a house in Kauai for a month and would like us "kids" and our families to spend some time with them. Well, we all jumped on that chance like a shark on a wounded seal. Well we just got back so here's a report on our trip. The flight...

I need info on the auto tranny for an '04 Titan 4x4. The truck is my Dads,with 90,000 miles on it, and the tranny is going out. The local dealership is being way less than helpful, so hopefully you some of you Nissan heads can help. We were going to drop the pan and change filters and fluid to...

Yesterday I was mounting my winter rims on the LJ when I notice that the rear driver side rotor's surface was flaking and scored. The passenger side was fine, but I went ahead and put new rotors and pads for both sides. When I went to mount the pads for the driver's side much to my surprise...

Who here is actually using their Toy (Tacoma or Tundra) as a work truck. I'm talking about weekly construction trailer pulling (3500 - 6000lbs) and full weight capacity hauling. I'm interested in how they hold up and what issues a Toyota has when used in this manner. All of the Tacoma owners...

With Temps in the 70s, the leaves in full color, and the skies clear and blue, the family and I decide to skip firewood and enjoy what is possibily the last nice day up here in NW PA. We loaded up the LJ and drove about an hour and a half to Elk and Cameron counties to view the leaves and the...

What do you folks use for your towing duties, rear receiver hitch or aftermarket bumper with built in receiver hitch? My LJ didn't come with the factory tow hitch and I don't really want to add a rear receiver and lose some clearance. I thought I'd mount an aftermarket bumper with the hitch...

Here's a trick that an old time machinist tought us on how to free up stuck and rusted bolts. Take your cutting torch, proprane torch works too but on smaller bolts, and heat your frozen fastener or nut. Have ready at hand a parafin candle, the cheap table top ones work great, when the nut is...

After sitting in my garage for awhile now I finally took the time to install the lift kit on the Unnamed LJ. The Kit is the Full Traction 3" Economy kit that I originally bought for my 98 TJ, but that was sold before that install could occur. The Kit took about 8 hours for me to install by...
