And truly after 40 years of positive experience, it would probably have to be one egregious act or a series of them to probably change your mind.

Understood. I’m not defending them here, but I just don’t think that’s their business model because they basically sell every tire brand/style/size. I will admit that I miss the days when you could walk into a Big O and look at all the tire displays. I guess that is just the world that has...

I suppose you’re right. I guess I’ll stop checking other people’s work that gets performed on my Jeep.

Your reply bewilders me. What fears and insecurities to you think I expressed?

There is no doubt that when that 5th tire showed up they should have called me. I get it. I agree. But the the fact that they made a mistake and owned it is really the point. I'm not so much "praising them for questionable service and not being thieves", rather I am praising them for owning up...

Yeah, I don’t disagree with you. That was what ran through my head while I was beating myself up. Do they own some blame here? Sure. But ultimately, who was responsible for ensuring that the tires I paid for got installed? I can guarantee that if I had started this thread ranting about how...

I turn 60 tomorrow and have had a lot of vehicles with a lot of tires and I know if sounds a bit like pandering, but I literally noticed a night and day difference between the two tires. I know that people can get a bit biased about “their favorite brand” and will say it’s the best even if it...

I do like them a lot. They are much smoother and quieter on pavement than the Toyo R/Ts (when driving slow I can actually feel the lugs of the R/Ts contacting the road), they eat up Forest Service roads, and while I haven’t punished them on a super aggressive trail yet, I have run them on...

Last July (yes 2024), I decided it was time to replace the tires on one of my JKURs and on the JTR. I have run Toyo Open Country R/Ts on all three of my Jeeps for several years (33" on the wife's JKUR, 35" on my JKUR and 37" on the JTR) and have been really happy with them, but I decided that I...

Mac Keynote. It's their version on MS PowerPoint

;)

That would be a good use for a set of take offs!!!

Yeah Yeah, what’s nice about using the screws is that you can use some clamps to get one piece aligned and held together once glue is applied. Then you can screw it together, remove the clamps and set up another piece. It allows you to build everything with a minimal number of clamps. Here’s...

Here's a little trick if you decide to do it: Cut your pieces and before you glue anything, dry fit them and stategically pre-drill screw holes. Apply glue to the pieces being glued up, align your screw holes and then screw them together. The screws will apply the pressure that typical...

You could even modify these plans and turn that "extra" Jeep seat into a Subaru Brat-like seat for your bed....LOL

Since I realize that not everyone is going to have their computer in their workshop, here is a PDF that can be printed out.

As requested: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/convert-your-rear-seat-delete-leftovers-into-a-shop-couch.95813/post-1531766

Yesterday I posted about building a "Couch" in my shop using the rear seats that I removed during my rear seat delete. @RudeJeepin asked if I could share some of the dimensions. Now I am a hobbyist woodworker and I'm not "smart" (experienced) enough to actually work from plans yet; so when I...

One thing to bear in mind: if you put this on any fastener, you need to look at the torque specs for a lubricated fastener (which is typically less than a dry fastener) or you risk over-torquing. Putting it on something like the spline shaft doesn't really require any precautions. Here's some...

Dan, I know I'm late to the party but I am way behind on this thread. Whether you have a solution to the rusty machined surfaces or not, buy this for the next time: https://neolube.com/dry-film-lubricant/ We used to use this on all of the steam system bolts and parts when I was in the Navy. I...
