    A good website for product (not price) comparison???

    Hey, I'm looking for a good website to compare products. (Right now it's ski boots) It seems like every time I search to compare products all it comes up with is price comparisons. I'm looking more for product reviews both by consumers and pros and that hopefully has techinacal specs. Anyone...

    Dash Guages

    I've lost all the guages on my dash (tach, speedo, oil pressure, temp., battery) and I don't have access to my Haynes auto manual till the weekend. The fuel guage is still working, I think. I have a full tank and it's reading full unless it's stopped working and it's just stuck there. I'll have...

    Anyone been to a Jeep Jamboree?

    I'm trying to decide on going to our local Jeep Jamboree but have heard a few negative things from people. I've heard that it's kind of like being babysat the whole weekend where you have the officials telling you where to drive and how to drive through it (past the point of being a spotter). I...

    Which shock to choose.

    My local off road shop is having a sale on Rancho shocks. Buy 3 get one free. Can't decide between the RS9000X, RS5000 or the new RSX. Haven't called on prices yet but I'm sure the 9000's will be very expensive so it'll probably come down to either the 5000's or the RSX. Opinions?

    Is anyone using a rollbar tie in kit?

    Hey. I've seen a kit advertised at our local shop that ties in a stock rollbar to the frame. It extends the stock rollbar through the floorboards where it is then welded to the frame. Anyone ever used one of these or heard anything good/bad about them? I've heard stories of the stock rollbar...

    Length of stock YJ driveshafts?

    Hey. I've got a new dent in my driveshaft that's causing major vibrations. It's unrepairable and cannot be balanced. I called around about getting a used one to replace temporarily until I get my SYE kit out of storage and get a CV shaft made up. Won't be able to get at the SYE kit for at least...

    Anyway to get better braking?

    Hey. My brakes suck. I've heard from someone that 95 YJ's have a better master cylinder for the brakes which will improve braking. Any truth to this? Any other ways of improving braking? Another suggestion was converting to an ABS system but I think that's just one more thing to break when I get...

    Need part for Bestop Sunrider.

    Hey. If anyone has an old Bestop Sunrider for a YJ, I'm looking for the metal pieces that go in the upper corners of the windshield frame. They are the pieces that the frame for the top clip into. I have two sets of them but both are in storage and unaccessable for the next few months. If you...

    Vibe problems.

    Hey. I've recently noticed a new vibration in the jeep. It's most noticeable on the highway at speeds of around 60mph and up under acceleration. It vibrates, then smooth, vibrates, then smooth, vibrates, then smooth............... It stops when I let off the gas. It's not noticeable at slower...

    I got word that this is the weekend I'm gonna die. All my friends are coming in from out of town to witness and participate in it. Not sure exactly what they're gonna do to me but it's not going to be good. They're all gonna take a turn at killing me.....it's my stag. To make things worse, my...

    Anyone using a "new style" Ford F-150 for a tow vehicle?

    Hey. I know this isn't a jeep question but I'm looking at getting a 2005 or 2006 F-150 Super Crew (5.4L V-8 ). I'll be using it to tow the jeep to wheeling spots that are too far away and too expensive to have a tow truck pull me from when I break something. I'll also be towing a small boat...

    Got in a rearender today

    Got into a rearender today. First time I've ever been in an accident where I will be deemed "at fault" on my insurance. Where I live there is a rule that busses have the right of way and you can get a ticket if you don't yield to them. Seems to me the bus drivers have taken this to their heads a...

    Hey. I'm gonna line the bed of my new truck (2004 F150 supercrew). I Rihno lined the inside of my jeep before with no problems. I'm wondering what people's opinions are of Rihno brand lining. I've heard from a lot of people that say go with Line-X. I've heard a number of complaints of Rihno...

    Anyone tried Home Depot's Ecco chainsaws?

    Info on using Pam for wheel protectant in the winter

    Hey. I know a lot of people use Pam on their aluminum wheels to protect them from pitting over the winter months. I haven't tried using Pam yet but I'd like to know if the overspray affects your brakes at all. Do you take the wheels off to spray it on or cover any holes through the face of your...

    Anyone running snow/ice tires in the winter.

    Hey. I'm planning on buying the Yokohama Geolander IT's for this winter because my MT's just plain suck on hard compact snow and icy conditions. They're great in deep snow though. The Yokohama's are more expensive than most other brands out there and they aren't the standard snow tire. They have...
