Heat, bfh, pickle fork, PB blaster and profanity. Hit it on the side with the bfh when heating and spray down. Then try the pickle fork. My JT was actually the easiest one I’ve ever done but we’ve had relatively mild winters the last few years in PA so less corrosion. My JK was a nightmare...

Sub’d. This will help me sell the idea of 40s to my wife - probably be Prius level mileage🤪

Pming you re Warn fairlead.

Probably end up owing $5 to Jeep for the licensing on every shirt you sell

🤣Seems worthy of a hashtag, t-shirt and bumper sticker

I went with Dewalt. My brother who has a truck and trailer shop uses Milwaukee. I’ve used both when we put my lift on my JTR on his lift at his shop. Dewalt is ok for my use but his Milwaukee stuff is tougher, batteries seem to last longer and generally more expensive too, even with his...

The only thing I buy is Jeep parts and tools. The basic concept of renting them is reasonable but I like having my own tools and the pride of using tools I got that were handed down from my grandfather to my dad and now me …someday to my son, who now has a 2004 TJ and is gonna need tools.

Congrats on your major award!!!!

I think this light comes on when you do that

Assuming the control arm is the correct length and you’ve compared the old one and the new one…. As previously described, loosen the other control arm bolts and don’t tighten any of these to the torque spec until you have all 4 tires on the ground, to avoid bushing bind. With the frame...

This sounds like the culprit. Good luck.

With a grinder, anything is possible. I’d grind/cut that thing down /hack off the part hanging down to make it level to the frame in a heartbeat with no worries. Almost goes without saying (but not quite)…. I’m not an engineer, didn’t stay at a Holiday inn last night, and YMMV. Good luck and...

Axel 😝

37s 5.13 gears, and stock axles on my 2020 Rubi. Weighs about 5,900. 45k miles - towing, camping, hunting, offroad parks, trips from PA to Yellowstone, etc. and no issues with axles. I spent my money on upgraded steering, shocks and control arm joints - all shot at 40k miles

Bottom Line Up Front - stock size tires and wheels are highly unlikely to cause major problems. The JT platform was designed with 35” tires in mind. YMMV Getting different numbers from here but similar story https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=245-70r17-285-70r17

Faded cowl, footman/stayers and hood latches all spruced up

Not today but spruced up faded cowl with Forever Black

I use rattlecan Rustoleum bed liner. I have Ace rock rails that I use it on too when I scuff them up. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Automotive-15-oz-Black-Truck-Bed-Coating-Spray-248914/202097787

As most have said - recovery gear, tools, first aid, comms, food, water. Not fancy or Instagram ready but this stuff went with me to Yellowstone - camping in Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota.
