    What was the name of that shady guy from a couple years back?

    Any of you remember that guy from a year or two back that was making bad deals, collecting money from for sale adds for things that didn't exist, and so on. His name was like Cameron or Chris or something. There is a guy over on a Land cruiser forum I frequent that seems to be pulling the same...

    Adjustable Control Arms

    I was cleaning out the garage today and came across these. Since I no longer own a Jeep I really don't have a need for them. When I bought the used lift for my WJ a couple years back they were in the box. The seller told me he had them custom made to fix the death wobble he was getting. They are...

    Any wheelin in Idyllwild?

    It's been a while since I have been on here. After having to sell the XJ and WJ to pay for my wifes medical bills and fertility it was too depressing to come on here. The good news is that the fertility and all of its costs was successful. My wife was able to get pregnant and we recently had our...

    what's the center bore/hub diameter on an XJ,TJ,ZJ?

    I'm in the process of putting some Jeep rims on my Suzuki SX4. They both have a 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern but Suzuki rims are hub centric and Jeep rims are lug centric. The center bore of the suzuki is 61mm and the Jeep is larger, but I'm not sure the exact size. I need to get some center hub rings...

    Need a stock XJ, TJ, or ZJ rim for testing

    Looking for some stock XJ, TJ, or ZJ rims. I like the later model Classic rims but right now I'm not too picky. I just found out that my Suzuki SX4 has a 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern. I also will be putting on a little 2.5" lift and skid plates. This last winter was hard on my little zuk. The horrible...

    Need Welding advice

    So I bought this little Flux welder at harborfreight. I had been waiting for one to go on sale for a while. It went to $89.99 and I then dropped my 20% coupon on it and got a great deal. I picked up a mask, welding gloves, welding jacket, and some hand tools for welding. I'm pretty set with what...

    Finally time to take out the WJ

    So it has been a slow process building the WJ. Most of the money from the sale of my XJ went to fertility so I was on a ridiculously tiny budget. I call this my craigslist build. Pretty much everything on it was found used on craigslist or forums except the bumpers. Right now it has a 4.5"...

    Johnny Walker just purchased my WJ lower control arms (front and rear-4 total) and I would like to see if I can get them out near him. I'm in the Big Bear, Yucaipa, Redlands, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga areas rather often if there is anyone in those areas that heads way out towards Pismo.

    looking for a used CB

    I'm looking for a used CB preferably a handheld. I had my last few mounted on my trail rig, but then when I was out hiking or hunting I didn't have access to it. Have wheeled with a few guys that could carry it and I REALLY liked the functionality of it. I understand the range isn't as good, but...

    I'm ordering the new tires for my WJ today either from Casual if he will sale his 33" muds or with 4wheel parts. I'm only buying 4 tires and 5 rims. I need a 5th spare.

    Got a new toy.

    Just picked up this 08 Suzuki SX4 Hatchback with AWD. I wrecked my Kia and decided to replace it with this. It gets 30mpgs just like my DD Kia but is also 4x4. It's not just AWD. I can actually shift it into 2wd, AWD, or 4Lo. It's pretty sweet and now I don't have to drive my XJ every day in the...

    Passing on a great deal on an air compressor

    I have been using this little air compressor for a few years now and it takes 2-3 minutes to fill up my 35's from 15psi to 35psi which is pretty good. I have had zero issues with mine. I actually bought it as a short term solution until I afford something better, but it just wont die. I have not...
