    Reverse light options and suggestions

    Ok, so I just installed some LED stop/turn/tail lights & my lovely lady was asking about reverse lights. Are LEDs bright enough to do the job?

    I'm looking for a D60 for the front end of my TJ but where do I start? I know it's gotta be a Ford if I'm picking from junk yards but what years are best? How much work is there to make the steering jive? I'll be doing a long arm to the front & have a friend who is a professional welder who...

    TJ bad vibrations

    Ok, my tj developed a vibration when I accelerate or maintain speed. It goes away when I let off the gas but returns when I touch the gas. Nothing but front brakes are new & I found the passenger caliper bolts & knuckle to be stripped. It's not Death Wobble but more like I'm driving on the...
