So I've been doing a lot of reading and creeping around doing research and it I can't seem to find any information about swapping the front axle out with a Ford 8.8. I plan on going either 35x13.5r15 or 37x14.5r15 on an '01 Wrangler TJ. Here is a thread listing junkyard front axle swap options...

I wanted to share the custom fabricated spare tire lock my friend and I made for my Jeep... The problem: The BOLT spare tire lock would not work as designed with my ProComp wheels. I did, however, like the idea of having a lock that was made for my Jeep's key. The solution: Fabricate a new...

Hey forum! Just made my account. I've had my CPR TJ now for a little over a year and I love that darn thing, even though I've spent about 7 grand on getting it fixed in that year. In short, I have a couple topics I want to bring up in my first post! I hope that's okay with the admins. 1) I...

Here is what has been going on. I bought the Jeep a few months ago and have been driving it as a daily driver and once in a while I would hear a rattle. I thought it was on the passenger side so this was side I was looking at and thought it was a shock and decided not to worry to much about it...

Has anyone ever seen/heard of full side fenders? I think It would look preeetttty neat to have flat fenders running from front to rear and also running boards, all in one. Anyone else think this is a good idea? My buddy and I have been talking about fabricating custom fenders for my Jeep...
