    Trash bag ideas

    Anybody have any ideas on packing out trash? We bring the plastic trash bags, but would like to put those in something else outside the vehicle. I've seen photos of people using what look like big onion bags. I've checked with my local super markets and no luck. Any other ideas? Thanks.

    Half doors

    I like 'em My 01' has them and I like the "built in armrest". The only thing that I dislike are the uppers. The jeep came with trashed ones, so I did the reskins, and now after about 2 years the drivers zipper is acting up (and yes I take care of the zippers). Looking at sliding uppers next.

    Dual cig plug HELP!

    I've posted this on another board, so my apologies if you're seeing it again. I've read the thread on removing the ashtray and installing a second cig plug and switch bezel. The problem that I'm having is locating a second bezel. There are no TJ's in the pick a part lots in my area. I checked...

    What to do with a dead Optima red top

    Wow! I didn't realize that this thread was going to rekindle the beat on Optima posts. Maybe I just made a huge mistake buying a red top again, but I got five years out of my last one treating it like a deep cycle, and generally abusing it. As I stated originally, I thought I would inquire...

    What to do with a dead Optima red top

    My Optima red top has finally died. I've used and abused it for 5 years, and I'm wondering what to do with it now. Should I pursue the 1 year pro rate? My buddy bought a refurbed red top, can this battery be refurbed? I'm buying a new one, but if a refurb is a possiblity, than that would make a...

    Engine/trans skid

    Will be going with a drain system Thanks luk4mud and Jeffb79. I was thinking of going with a drain system before I had the skid, but was concerned about it being unprotected. Now it's protected and seems like a good time to switch. I'll look into the knock-offs, fujimoto, and the fram version...

    Engine/trans skid

    oh well luk4mud and chemicaltoilet I agree with what you both said. I probably won't by anything else from them, and chem I was going with that skid anyway so no worries. I'll set something up to change the oil, if it's a disaster than I'll just take the saw to it and put a hole where it...

    Engine/trans skid

    Called Rusty's Well I called Rusty's and started the conversation with "where is the oil drain hole supposed to be on the plate?". He replied forward and to the drivers side of the drain plug. So either they made a bad run and people have been calling, or the design has changed. I explained...

    Engine/trans skid

    Drain hole pics ChemicalToilet I have a 6 cyl. so yeah I'm thinking the quality control at Rusty's may not be that great. Anyway I will try and attach a pic or two. I might call Rusty's, although I don't know if they'll make good since I've already drilled the holes. Thanks for the answers.

    Engine/trans skid

    Plate installed Well the skid plate was in stock and arrived from Rustys' (although shipping was a bit more than I though it was going to be, $52). I did the install and everything went smooth, except while torquing one of the bolts to secure the plate to it's mount. The bolt sheared in half...

    Engine/trans skid

    Thanks Thank you ChemicalToilet for the input. That is the route I was actually thinking. Just wanted to know if a belly could be used down the road, and obviously it can. 30-284 I checked the Rokman and very nice but it looks like you have to buy the entire package up front, and I don't have...

    Engine/trans skid

    This is my first post, but have been visiting for a while to get answers. I have an 01, Wrangler that I would like to put an engine/trans skid on. I would like the product to be made somewhere besides China (U.S. preferable) , and would like to be able to still use it if I decide to go with a...
