Just got a funny text from my buddy's roommate. He's killin himself laughing over what he just saw.
That black XJ i made the rear bumper for b4 Xmas, had a tire up on the roof.
the owner threw it off, it took a queer bounce, and smashed out his taillight. ;D ;D ;D

Milemarker hubs...JUNK. Broke 3 this year. The ridges on the inside of the hub cover - the ones that engage your splines - are made of PLASTIC. Should have gone directly to Warn Premiums and called it a day.

Should have gone directly to Warn Premiums and called it a day. I broke a chromoly stub shaft last year and it even twisted the splines on the end of the shaft that goes into my Warn premium hubs but hubs survived unscathed

This was my first of 3 TJ's... 2000 TJ Sport (pic was back in 02-03). Note the snorkle and that big ARB bumper Seemed like a good idea at the time It was the first snorkel that Andre's brother Matt ever installed... he was pretty nervous about cutting up my 'newer' jeep lol And yes... I hate that saying "it's a jeep thing" and I have to add "welcome to the addiction" ;D Whats wrong with the "big ARB bumper" ? I've had this bumper on the front of my Jeep from the Curse to Crazy French (and pretty much everything in between) and its never been a hindrance. In fact, I wouldn't be able to tell you how many times I've used it to make turns (sliding off of rocks) on tight trails or when its saved the front of my rig from trail damage. Without a doubt, I'd buy this bumper again......especially for the price

I'm ashamed to say the first thing I bought for my stock YJ was a pair of BDS sway bar disconnects for $200. I can just imagine what the guys behind the counter thought when I ordered them. I couldn't even use them until I installed a lift.
Long ago I disconnected my front sway bar and I haven't used the darn things.

I would my worst mod was a set of shackles made from 1/4 flat bar with no support in the middle....took one curse run and they were both bent like a S lol.
Ya those roof racks with the spare tire on the top just looks plain dumb, I've even seen a mini van with that goin on.
