    Finally Getting the TJ Back Together!!!

    So the first, and most stress inducing problem, was the engine block. This engine block only about a year and a half old and only has about 10k miles on it so I was really bummed out it was busted and really didn’t want to cough up the money for another engine swap along with all the other...

    Finally Getting the TJ Back Together!!!

    The time has finally come! Some of you may know of my wonderful situation already, but several months ago (early October I believe) my seizing rear driveshaft gave up the ghost and graciously sent a shockwave through the entire drivetrain. Assessing the damage, the seizure completely shattered...

I’m just in my first year of marriage and finding my way into adult hood so I really wasn’t planning for events like this at all. it really kicked my wife and I into gear for planning for our future.

    Cheap MIG welder discussion.

    Depending on the cylinder size you got that a ridiculously good deal. Typically I’ve seen rental prices be around $10 a month for larger cylinders, I can’t remember what they are for smaller cylinders. A 10 year lease like you’re saying you did costed around $200 where I used to work.

    Shooting at Soldier Pass

    From all the maps and everything I was researching, besides the range, you can't legally target shoot anywhere around there until you're a few miles up Soldier Pass Rd and into the hills.

    Agreed on this. When I replaced all the ujoints and repaired the damage the first time I cleaned the crap out of the slip and it was only good for about 2 or 3 weeks. Then it started making noise again... and the Tcase and more is dead.... You should be able to separate it pretty easily. If...
