My Governor is also a Wrangler owner, who used his 2006 Golden Eagle in his campaign ads and took it to events across Pennsylvania. He's definitely living the Wayalife.

We're experiencing a complete shutdown of Philadelphia because of Pope Francis' visit to the East Coast. Il Papa rides a JKU Which doesn't surprise me anymore, after I was in Rome with my wife back in 2006, and we watched a procession of Pope Benedict riding on the back of a flatbed GMC...

Gotcha. I used to align shafts for turbines, and Starrett was the only name you saw on the precision measuring equipment.

What problems would one have with Starrett? Their tools are (were?) the benchmark that all other precision tools tried to be. Have they gone to cheaper parts? Foreign sourcing? As a former Millwright, where I had to be dead on to the 1/10,000th", the brand name had to live up to the hype.

I've worked on some connecting jobs with the Ironworkers over the years. I loved it. But sadly, even I age...

Sometimes it looks like this...

If you're going to try to TiG weld, you're getting into buying argon (nitrogen and helium are options, but argon is the best bet) gas as the shielding to keep oxygen out, which means bottle purchases or rentals, buying gauges, hoses, Tig handles, tungsten, etc. I'd suggest buying a TiG handle...

To start a build on the TJ X 6 speed manual I have, and on a small budget to start with, where should I start, after recovery and safety upgrades? I want to get my hands dirty on as many of these projects as I can. Here is my intent for the rig. Generally, I'm shooting for American made...

Outstanding! I hope you keep it, or allow the niece to use it until you can figure a way to work on it. I wish I had kept my CJ5, but life got in the way of that. And I'd just about kill to get hold of my dad's mid-50s CJ3, and restore it.

I just picked up this 2006 X earlier this week. It's just waiting to be built up.

I really like the idea of mounting the compressor under the seat. And as far as the extra weight of the compressor Putting stress on the seat mountings, how much weight are we talking about? More than a plus sized passenger?

If you buy grinders, you may wantto spend a few extra dollars buying ones that are built for professional construction work, instead of a piece of junk from Home Despot. Go to an industrial supply for tools and stuff like grinding wheels. Big box stores don't carry 1/8" thick or 0.045 cutting...

Does anyone have issues with quirks in the electrical systems, like bad groundings, in the JK? Libertys have a tendency to have this problem, with things like interior lights turning on for a brief instant when turning on and off turn signals.

Wright tools has a good torque wrench that's American made. I use them at work. SK tools are the wrenches I use from my personal toolbox, and my SK torque wrench has never let me down. American made also.

Listen to this advice. It's solid.

Wire rope or synthetic?

I'm assuming, this is the wrong way to use a tree as your stationary pulling point... https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1039983006015285

The chain is a good idea, because if you have sharp edges on the frame, nylon straps can be damaged or cut, and you take the chance of losing tensile strength, or the whole load as you're pulling. Softeners for sharp edges should be used to reduce that risk. Just for reference... But, for...

He was referring to two different hooks.

Agreed on using Crosby shackles. And I'm noticing the use of different terminology here than would be used in the construction industry. One thing to be especially wary of is cast hooks. Some Chinese made hooks are made with cast steel, instead of forged steel. And the cast hooks have been...
