If I called anyone out... it would be an entire population of forum dwellers 31" tires apparently DON'T fit on stock ZJ's. Any forum will tell you that a minimum 2" lift is required, in addition to longer bumpstops... but even then trimming of the front bumper will be needed. This seemed a little bit stupid to me. After all... the Toyota's all fit 33's without any noteworthy trimming, YJ's and TJ's the same... and a lot of newer trucks have no problems with 35's. 31's are peanuts. They are the bare minimum for trail running. Sure you can buy 30's... [...]

SUV Pump Up

What is this horribly crude thing? It’s a brace for the 35″ spare on Ryan’s YJ. The point being: welding practice. Welding is not hard. This is the second thing that Ryan has welded. The fourth that I have welded. The results are pretty much identical. Beads still aren’t amazing, but I think you’ll agree they are good enough. This […]

Old Time [qr] AE86

Shame... seriously. I should have bought a welder a long time ago. Car life without a welder is like AE86 life without an LSD. I'm serious. Now I can sneer at all of you welder-less people and make comments about you that you can't and won't understand because... I'm better than you. Not really. Have you seen these beads? [...]
