    how to do touch up properly?

    I had a rusty spot where someone keyed my door. I scraped the paint around it until I got to clean metal (which was about the size of a quarter) and sanded the rust off. I cut a hole in a sheet of paper, placed it over the bare spot, and sprayed Rustoleum self-etching primer. After it dried...

    Bilstein or Rancho?

    If you read truck forums, most seem to prefer Bilsteins.

    Why Lift?

    So if you had lost more, you would have been worried about fuel economy? Jeep and fuel economy are two words that have nothing to do with each other. Sell the KJ and get yourself a Prius. On a serious note, most things are a compromise. I pointed out the fuel economy because I don't know...

    Why Lift?

    Thanks for clarifying. It didn't really make a lot of sense, but I thought if Tom said it, it must be true. :D :eek:

    Why Lift?

    I get 15 city/18 highway with stock equipment. Maybe I need to come to an Ohio M&G. :D

    Why Lift?

    Loss of fuel economy would be one reason. Another reason, which I did not think of, was a problem Boiler had with snow which tommudd attributed to the higher stance of the rear of the car. I was actually going to start a similar thread, but ask why I should not lift. I would really like...

    Skids Discussion

    I asked similar questions not too long ago. Thankfully, a couple of people convinced me to save up and do it right with quality products. Right now, I only have the fuel tank skid plate and frankly, it may be another year before I have all the skid plates, but I don't think the skid plates are...

    Rusty's Fuel Tank Skid Plate

    Hi all, I asked about MOPAR skid plates in another thread and the feedback I received made me consider higher tier options. Does anyone have any experience with or opinions on Rusty's fuel tank skid plate? Or Rusty's quality in general? Edited to add: It seems like Kilby's fuel tank skid is...
