Hi, can anybody recommend a good, trustworthy Jeep shop/off-road shop in the Phoenix area? Preferably in the East Valley as I live in Chandler and work in Tempe. I'm looking for an experienced shop than can do general mechanic work but is also experienced in modifications, such as lifts. I am...

The Four Peaks Trail in Arizona! (thanks for the recommendation TheFunSmith!)

Safety first! The front brakes have been pulsating like crazy so I knew some brake work was going to need to be done. I noticed this on the test drive and used this in the negotiation. Also, the brake fluid was due for a flush. The fluid was dark and I could tell the brakes became less...

Hi, my LJ has a 2" Teraflex Budget Boost installed with Rancho shocks (not sure which model). I noticed the front bump stop extensions were installed which appear to provide very little suspension compression. I'm guessing the bump stop compresses some but still doesn't seem like much travel...

First order of business was to figure out why the Sony stereo wasn't working. I gotta have some tunes for in between trails. :D That'll do it: Look at how the guy crimped these things. That ain't gonna work. :crazyeyes: Much better: Now I can listen to my Huey Lewis and the News CD...

I wanted to post up some 'before' pictures showing the LJ as it was the day I bought it.

I finally found a Jeep I liked and closed the deal today! My 3yo is almost as excited as I am. :D My wife already threatened to steal it. :crazyeyes: She's a 2006 LJ with only 101k miles. ;) Mostly original but does have a Teraflex "budget boost" with Rancho shocks. That's good because I...

I'm headed up to Peoria to look at a used LJ this afternoon. Private seller. Any of the Phoenix area guys available to go look at it with me? I have a good idea what to look for when looking at used vehicles but thought it might be a good idea to have someone familiar with Jeeps with me. And...

I looked at a 2006 LJ today at a local used car dealer. I noticed some crazing in the paint on the hood and front fenders. Looked like snow flakes sort of. The salesman told me this is a common issue with Wranglers of that vintage in darker colors (this one is red) due to the lack of any type...

Can't sleep so here's a pic I took on Saturday from the Montana Mountain Trail in Arizona.

Hi! I signed up a few days ago and wanted to introduce myself. My wife and I moved to Arizona from Maryland about 5 years ago for my job. I miss Maryland and family/friends but we like Arizona. I'm a newb when it comes to off-roading and I'm still shopping for my first Jeep. Started doing...
