    Dual Port USB Addition 06' Jeep LJ

    Neat idea...kind of want to do it. Especially as I add more electronics to the dash and such. I don't smoke either but always figured the cig lighter would be a nifty self defense accessory:D. I need to stop watching Deadpool....

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    SilicaRich's Overland TJ Rubicon Build

    Good News! Well my dad drove the Jeep to Austin going about 60-65 mph and then drove back last night cruising 75 mph and had no issues. "Smooth as butter"-my dad He drove over plenty of harsh bumps and un-smooth road while cruising on I-10 and never had an issue. He said the new brakes worked...

    Red Wing Heritage Boots

    Managed to get them broken enough to wear they don't leave my feet aching anymore. A mink oil treatment really did the trick, although I read that I should be careful with mink oil. Apparently if you aren't careful you can over soften the leather and actually make it more prone to being damaged...

    SilicaRich's Overland TJ Rubicon Build

    The shop is currently doing a final check and alignment again today while also installing new front brakes. They have already checked TREs, trackbar has been already pulled and reinstalled, checked ball joints, and checked u-joints. I honestly believed the it was likely the TREs needing to be...

    SilicaRich's Overland TJ Rubicon Build

    New tires arrived! That being said they are still 540 miles away from me, but that hopefully means I'll be getting the Jeep back maybe next weekend. Fingers crossed this solves the death wobble issue.

    SilicaRich's Overland TJ Rubicon Build

    All I'm going to say about death wobble man is that it is scary as *insert curse word*. I don't think I have ever been more scared in my life. Just pray you never get it. That V8 power is sure something nice, 380 or so horsepower in the Tundra. Not to mention the TRD is orange so that's a nice...

    SilicaRich's Overland TJ Rubicon Build

    Late Update So I'm currently back up in Arkansas but I'm without the Jeep. No I didn't sell it, but it's back home in Texas. Just so happened that an hour into my initial trip going back up that I got death wobble going 70mph an hour. Now that I have actually experienced death wobble I now know...

    Beating a dead horse, but.... Hiking boots?

    In my experiences buying boots, narrow your choices first to what brands fit your foot. After that, read some reviews when it comes to quality to make sure what your buying is a good product and narrow your choices from there. This is how I chose my Vasque hiking boots (which I love) even...

    Red Wing Heritage Boots

    Ordered a pair of 8138s over Christmas break and got them in yesterday. Currently enduring the pain of breaking in new boots:D. Probably should have used some mink oil first to soften them up. Love the way they look though

    2005 Rubicon LJ

    Not an LJ, but I can give my experiences after adding a Gobi to my TJ:) Noise: Added a little but I hardly notice it unless I really try to focus in on it MPG: Before I put the rack on I was averaging around 10-12 mpg. Since adding the rack my milage has stayed about the same. Expect maybe a...

    What is it like to use a Waxed Jacket everyday?

    I have an Outback Trading Company waxed canvas jacket (unsure of what exact jacket it is) that I've been using for over 4 years now. Hands down the best jacket I have ever owned, but definitely is in need of a re-wax. Best part about these jackets is just watching water wick away. Come back in...

    Build road map, what am I missing?

    Any reason you feel you need a 60 in the rear? Unless you plan to do an engine swap or maybe run 40" tires, I find that route relatively overkill for what you are doing. I would at minimum consider replacing the shocks on your lift to something like OME, AEV, or Bilstein shocks. Pro Comp...

    Captain Texas Anvil JKU build

    X2 I like them so much I put them on my TJ:) Really like the idea of the grip tape. Figure I might copy it for use on my rack. The Jeep keeps on looking great! Can't get enough of the Anvil, got to be one of the best colors I've seen on a Jeep

    SilicaRich's Overland TJ Rubicon Build

    Well I figured I would give an update since Christmas always provides goodies. Got a set of LightForce 240 Blitz HIDs but happened to get a bit of a surprise when I opened the box. In the box was supposed to be the 240s and the wiring harness, at least that's what the invoice said. Inside was...
