Custom bumper build, round 2

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Here is list of TJ Model changes by year. Unfortunately I don’t have the 2006 data (yet), but if I manage to find a complete list of changes for 2006, I will be sure to add it. I did find the paint changes though, so that’s a start. I got this great list from Travis [...]

General Info / Maintenance

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

While this Air Filter write-up may seem like second nature for most people who own jeeps, there are those who are just getting into the wheeling sport or are new to vehicles that might find this useful. It’s part of a list of things of “general knowledge and maintenance” that I plan on adding to [...]

Air filter replacement

Saturday, April 19th, 2008
