My grandson was leaving High school the other day and another kid pulled out and hit his Jeep. The other kid told the police officer that it was my grandson's fault but I don't think the officer wanted to deal with the problem since he said "there's not that much damage and you both were at...

Yesterday around 5:30 AM my son and I both heard a truck driving slowly up our street. I went to the front door and saw a full sized pickup in front of my neighbor's mailbox but it drove away before I could run and get my phone and take a picture. Once it got light we could see that all of the...

We went up yesterday to my friends ranch to try and fill a couple of late season cow elk tags. The boys got one and they hauled it back partway to the barn and gutted it. They then went to another spot to see if they could find another one. While they were gone I stuck around to make sure...

I went out a few weeks ago to one of the junk yards my son frequents and there was a 93 YJ on the lot. It had some nice parts on it that followed me home. One was the hard top that I am trying to sell and the other was a brand new windshield frame with glass. The Jeep had plenty of rust (or the...

My brother gave me a Honda lawn mower that needs some welding on the handle which is busted in half. I could fix it but have too many other projects to get done.

I have about 8 or more saginaw power steering gear boxes that I would like to get rid of. Does anyone know of a place where I could turn them in for core charge ?

I have a cam that came out of my GM crate 350 that was in my Commando. I swapped on vortec heads and a new cam for a bit more HP. Does anyone use used cams with the matching lifters or should I just chuck them in the trash ?

I have been fixing up my FIL's Jeep XJ and I knew the family told me it had battery issues. It sat for a few years so the battery was dead. I bought the cheapest one at Autozone and it seemed to work OK but if I let it sit for more than. a couple of days the battery would be dead. This only...

I put these seats in my friends CJ5 but they were too tall. They came out of a Dodge Van. My wife is tired of them sitting on the front porch.

I am tired of using narrow ramps to load my UTV on my trailer and want to build a hinged ramp gate. It would be 6' wide and 48-51 " long. I tend to way over design these type of things and I don't want the ramp to weigh a ton. The UTV is around 1700 lb and the ramp would only have to hold up...

So I finally got my father in law's Jeep all fixed up and listed it on KSL cars. It has gotten a good number of views and favorites but the only people who have texted me are scammers. They have a very consistent MO, the initial text is often cryptic and not well formed. Once you reply they get...

I just got the registration renewal for two of our vintage rigs. I noticed that it now says emissions required. My older 73 didn't have that earlier this year. I know they passed the law requiring vintage insurance if you wanted to not have to do emissions but how do you go about getting the...

My Commando has been getting some motor upgrades and is now finally ready for a test run. I had a red top optima in it before but swiped it for another rig I was fixing up to sell. My Scrambler and my son's Comanche have Odysseys in them. They have all worked fine but these Jeeps don't see much...

I picked up a Warn winch controller hoping they were fairly universal. This was to fix my friends M8000 where he lost the controller. This one I picked up is one of the newer more expensive ones for the Power Plant winches model number 83653. It will let the winch out but won't pull the cable...

I am working on my friends 72 CJ5 with the 304 V8. He couldn't keep it running near idle. I found that the carb was leaking gas out of several places where it shouldn't. My son found what looks to be a brand new carb at the junk yard so I swapped it on. No gas leaks but it still won't idle. It...

I fixed an old 72 CJ5 for a friend years ago and now it is coming back for some needed maintenance. While I am giving it a tune up and some fixes I would like to add some extras. We put on a Warn 8000 winch on it but they lost the controller so I need to find one. I would also like to add some...

My Dad was cleaning out his garage and gave me his old 12V generator that he built many years ago. We used to use it to charge our trailer batteries. I fired it up and it runs great but doesn't seem to put out any voltage. This thing has an old car generator on it that most likely needs service...

This little 2001 XJ followed me home and I've been fixing it up getting it ready to sell. The Jeep was my father in law's and it ended up with my brother in law after grandpa passed. They gave up on it because it kept on stalling on them. The stalling was just a dirty IAC. I just swapped in a...

My latest project needs a fuel pressure regulator. Return type, vacuum port, 30-75 PSI range 3/8 feed. I see online many options from cheap to very expensive. What regulators have you had good success with ?

I am finishing up my new winch mount for the 9.5TI Warn that I fixed up. I want to run a synthetic rope on it and wanted opinions on which ropes I should look at, length, capacity etc. There are quite a few out there but want to get one that will work well with the 9.5. It will be on my...
