Three years ago, I drove my Jeep into my garage, and until March, 2026, it didn’t roll under its own power again. Even this article is taking too long. I originally started it in February of 2026, and today is May 24th.
It probably comes as no surprise to anyone who has had a project vehicle, but this rebuild did not go as expected. I continued to discover hidden damage, and any hope of getting an SxS on a budget went out the window. If you take a look at the cost breakdown below, you’ll see the…
Maybe the title is a little hyperbolic, but it’s how I feel today. After trying to turn in a lease for the last several months without buying or leasing another vehicle, I’m pretty sure I’m right.
I purchased a totaled side by side (SxS) from an auction and I am going to walk your through all the costs from the initial purchase to the final safety inspection. At this end of this I hope everyone can learn from my logical fallacies and hands-on experience to decide if this is an endeavor…
I go through cycles where I start with a minimal tool roll and gradually work up to the point that I need a complete roll-away chest and a support truck to do a fill field rebuild.

Recovery gear continues to evolve from the very first rope used to tow another vehicle to today’s modern synthetic lines. The goal has always been to tow more, do it safely, and make it last.
The Fujifilm X-E2 is a mirrorless camera that brings together a compact and stylish design with impressive features and image quality. Released a few years ago, it still holds up well and offers great value for photography enthusiasts looking for a capable and portable camera.
I think everyone enjoys having an organized wrench drawer, but it is not always easy to achieve. For a long time, I struggled to find a wrench holder that could accommodate all my mismatched wrench sets and work well with my drawer dimensions. That changed when I came across ToolBox Widget Inc, they offer a…
If you are like me, then you appreciate a well-organized toolbox. ToolGrid by Mantis is one of the best organization systems I have found on the market.
I like taking the windows out and lowering the soft top on the Jeep. What I don’t like is having windows that look like they were cleaned with sandpaper.
My wife has had her Gladiator for a while now and we still haven’t found a tonneau cover that suits our wants. Most sit too tall on the bed rails and look terrible. Last month we needed to take a 9-hour trip and had no way to protect our stuff.
So I sit here once again trying to repair something small on the JL, and once again the part I need is on national backorder. Frankly it’s getting a bit tedious.
Carhartt is a US based apparel company that is best known for its durable workwear. When I discovered Carhartt produced seat covers I ordered a set for my work truck and was pleased to find they were built to the same standard as their outer wear.

They boasted these new radial tires would provide the same extreme grip while also featuring improved rideability and on-road characteristics. Over the last six months, we set out…

I had just picked up a new four-door Jeep Wrangler Recon and needed to make that crucial and expensive decision: figure out the lift and backward plan the rest.
