Actually in Maryland the historic tag rule is 20 model years or older *IF* the model is no longer in production. If the model is still in production it must be 25 years or older. The example given for the 25 year rule is Mustangs/Camaros. So it depends on whether or not the guy at the MVA...

Poison Spyder Defenders are finished.

Poison Spyder DeFenders - Zero Flare

Preparing to install a set of Poison Spyder DeFenders (Zero Flare) here in the next week or so. In preparation I went ahead and installed a set of Drake Offroad hood pins. Here's a couple pics. Let me know if you have any questions about the install, but it's pretty straightforward. The...

Sorry for the delayed response. They're just a cheap set of "4x4" fog lights from AutoZone. I think I paid like $30 for them. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I had factory fog lights but one was broken off. I tried unsuccessfully to find a replacement factory fog at the junkyard and found...

Oh, almost forgot to review the compressor! Once I solved the fuse-blowing issues, it works great. I usually run about 8-9psi on the trail and 20psi on the street (may sound low, but on my setup it gives me the best contact and most even wear). The SuperFlow MV50 will air my tires up from "trail...

Last thing - the factory battery finally called it quits last week, so I upgraded to an Optima Yellowtop. No complaints so far. I was bored this past Sunday so I cleaned all the control arms and stuff with degreaser - probably wasted effort but at least I got to hang out under the Jeep for a...

Now for the wiring. The cord that the compressor comes with is long enough to reach from where I mounted it to the battery (this is a TJ, I make no guarantee that the same is true for an LJ or 4 door JK (or 2 door JK for that matter). Initially I just routed the factory cord up the passenger...

The SuperFlow MV50 is not intended to be hard mounted. It comes with a carrying bag, a coiled up hose that is roughly 20' long (guesstimating here) when stretched out, and a cord with an inline fuse and 2 alligator clips to hook it up to a car battery. If you like you could just throw it in...

Overdue update: On Board Air Install Well this is way overdue. I've been wheelin' my TJ pretty much ever since I bought it brand new in 2006. I'm fortunate in that I live within a couple hours of some of the best public four-wheeling on the east coast - namely Paragon Adventure Park (before it...

1) You can definitely notice a difference with the intake. It's not super huge but I'd say it's definitely a worthwhile mod. It would be more noticeable with an aftermarket exhaust system/header to maximize airflow. 2) It's a combination of a bunch of different parts (i.e. it's not an...

Like others have said, rocker protection is a must. If you do any serious wheeling you WILL take hits on your rockers and if they're not protected it will cause damage to the tub. Granted, it's typically just cosmetic damage, but once it's there it is near impossible to fix correctly and will...

I'll try to get pictures of the air install tomorrow. I thought I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but yes I did get the PORC SYE kit recommended in the other thread. I haven't had any issues with it except that the seal that came with the kit that goes over the new end of the transfer case...

Little hillclimb at AOAA back in September

Oh, forgot one more thing: After a wheelin' trip to the Anthracite Off-road Adventure Area back in September, I decided I was tired of trying to find a place to air up after I was done wheelin', so I started shopping for an air compressor. I found a comparison on another off-road site that gave...
