    New to Virginia

    Thanks, guys. I looked into the Peters Mill area and it's about 1hr 45min away from here. Might head up there at some point to get my feet wet, so to speak. I remember hearing about NOVA a few months back, and will look into their group more. Smaller rocks are where Project Salt will most...

    Strong gas smell on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Any idea where the shop looked? Did they even look at your Grand Cherokee? I'd start with a visual inspection. Allow the car to idle for a few minutes, then shut it off. Follow the fuel lines from the gas tank toward the engine, and look for any puddle or drips of fluid (may or may not be...

    New to Virginia

    The last weekend in August I moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia. The 3+ hour drive to see each other was quickly getting old, so I moved in with my girlfriend. She used to live in PA but got a promotion to work in Washington, DC. I figured that my then-current job wasn't going to have any...

    Which TJ would you start with?

    Dana is the brand name for certain driveline components (u-joints, driveshafts, differentials, axles, etc.). From what I've gathered, the higher the Dana model number, the more robust & beefy the part is, compared to lower-numbered comparable Dana parts. For example, the Dana 44 differential...

    Labor Day Weekend!

    Looks like you had an enjoyable weekend trip! Beautiful scenery, too! One of these years I'd like to take a trip out that way with my YJ... it'll need a few more mods beforehand ;)

    Deer Hunter Choice of weapon

    Last year I bought a Savage Arms 116FSS model in 7mm Rem. Mag. Knowing the short and long distance capabilities of the rifle, I chose it with the possibility of doing some long-range hunting in the future. That rifle has the recoil of a shotgun, but it's quite accurate. Last year was my first...

    Replacing body mounts on 91 YJ and bolts

    The body mount bolts on my '93 YJ were rusted fast. No amount of heat or penetrating oil (even a combination) would loosen them. I had to cut the boltheads off and then cut the interior floor above the bolts to remove them completely. I later replaced them with Grade 8 bolts. I welded Grade...

    Check out http://www.megagps.com for Garmin and other brands of GPS units. Some units are refurbished by Garmin (or the appropriate manufacturer) to factory-new condition, and at a significant price reduction. I've been looking at the Quest 2 or the GPSMAP 76CSx for my setup.

    Got this in an e-mail today at work...

    I've gotten a similar e-mail in the past, but directed toward Pennsylvania winters. Moving to a new place sounds better on paper, right?

    What does your Jeep do for you?

    Since finishing the vast majority of Project Salt (93 YJ), I've taken it off-road about two times, but no major off-roading yet. The rest of the time it's been either garaged or parked outside, with only a safari top covering the interior. It seems as though when I want to take it to work...

    Best way to power a jeep......

    I don't have any accessories yet that require a lot of amperage, but I do have a sealed Absorbing Glass Mat (AGM) battery (like Optima). It's not the Optima brand, but it works just the same, and produces slightly more power than the Optima. The design is not the coil 6-pack, it's the...
