Years ago I started boycotting all RIAA-sponsored artists. Which is pretty much everyone you've ever heard of. At first, I was using Streamripper to find music from Europe. Then mp3.com from mostly nightclub acts and garage bands. And then, when Pandora came out, I seeded it with...

A small suggestion: If you make the subject of the thread your question when you post it, you may find you have more responses ("Can JT fit a JKU Soft Top?"). It also helps months later when folks are searching for info on that subject.

No, I sure don't. The only reason I know that the JK transmission is MB is because I bought a new one and it came in a new MB box*. And the JT one is Japanese because that's what the window sticker says. *Technically, I've been told, you can only buy rebuilds. But my mishap (long story)...

Finished up my ham (2M/70CM, GMRS, CB radio install with the NMO antenna mount. By choosing a common mount like NMO, I can switch out antennas and move the cable over to the radio I'll need for a particular trip. This avoids growing an antenna farm on my JT (which I do have on my JK). If...

The clutch pedal takes a bit of getting use to. At least that's my experience. And I've owned and driven almost exclusively manuals for the past half century. Now my problem is switching back and forth between the JK and JT--whoa, what a difference! But the JT takes the prize as a great...

Alright, started off cool this morning, but no wind. So, decided to wrap up this radio antenna install (note that the nice shop photos you see are a friend's business, not mine to use everyday, sadly). Anyway, did end up using the lowered windshield to route the cable, but not by drilling any...

Very nice.

You're now offering this winch hoop... https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/JLHR-B-PC.html Would sure like to see what this looks like on a JT through the trail camera. In fact, let me encourage you to put a picture with every winch hoop/bull bar offering that view. It should be on the website...

The time mine happened, it was a mudhole on a trail. There was a sharp turn as you exited the mudhole. I have no idea what OP's exact situation was. But, hope that sharing my experience might save him (and others reading this) the expense and misery I suffered.

The lockers ensure that both tires on that axle spin at the same speed. Without it, if one tire starts to slip, brake locking differential tries to compensate by applying the brake to that spinning tire, slowing it down and allowing the differential to send power back over to the tire that's...

Yes. It's all part of turning off the ESP system, which can be done manually in 4WD-high, and automatically in 4WD-low. And in high there are two modes of off, what they call full and partial. I encourage anyone who thinks pressing the ESP switch to off turns it off to read their owner's...

Were you in low or high gear? Locked on which axles? Did you manually turn off the ESP system if in high (it automatically turns off in low)? If you were in high and didn't turn it off manually (full off--read your owner's manual; it's more than just a simple press of the switch), then the...

Got the windshield folded down yesterday. It looks like I'll be able to route cable around the fixed windshield frame, and then under a piece of rubber seal at the bottom driver's corner where another cable and the drain hose are located. Few pics that may prove useful for others interested in...

My cruise works fine--used on a recent trip from OKC to Houston. I do notice that the steering seems to wander a tad more. I figured this being a Rubi with a small factory lift over non-Rubis, they may have kept the same front control arms, changing the caster. That would lead to slightly...

Nice article. It does fail to mention that the windshield still folds down--using tools supplied with the vehicle, remove the wipers and four bolts (you can see the holes for them in the top of the frame) ...

Installed the Ace Engineering rock sliders. Used an extra long 1/2" ratcheting wrench and no heat. Saw no evidence of red Loctite on any of the bolts, but five were consistently tough to turn during the entire withdrawal. Even a Snap-On 1/2" impact wrench on a commercial air compressor was...

One of three national forests in Florida. All of those small white lines are potential overland routes (look at the full size image). Get a copy of the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) for each national forest to learn which ones are legal for 4 wheel drive Jeeps and such. Plan a route and then...

You both may be right. I do recall reading in the owner's manual that with the tailgate in the halfway down position, max load is 500 lbs. This is surely due to the plastic bumpers that the cables are routed around.

Mine were in the glove box ... That didn't keep them from forgetting my cigarette lighter, however. No, I don't smoke. But the ashtray (which I did receive) is useful for small trash, and the lighter for emergency starting of a fire.

There are pros and cons--and many arguments over beers--on the subject of solder versus crimp. Back in my USAF days, tech orders required aircraft wiring repairs to be done with crimps. Reason was that high vibration can cause failure of soldered wires. Also, when you solder wire, you take...
