    RIP Peter/ineedajeep

    If you ever had the chance to meet Peter Vera/@ineedajeep you made a friend. He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and was just a ray of sunshine, always smiling and laughing. I loved getting to see him at Nationals and we started a tradition of alternating which of us would bring a nice...

    Glove box door slider hinge mod for cage clearance

    IMPORTANT NOTE!!! Pics are from A RIGHT-HAND DRIVE postal Scrambler! Reverse them for a normal Jeep, don’t do exactly what I did. This came up on my stroker thread and want to share it here. When I did my cage, the a-pillar on my passenger side blocked the glove box door. I modified the...

    Genright fuel tank access door (CJ/YJ unit)

    Put this in my build thread, but thought it was worth a separate post. For my stroker, I'm going in tank with a Tanks Inc pump in a new Genright tank and I got their fuel tank access hatch for the bed (since I adamantly refuse to drop the tank to deal with a pump/sender after putting three...

    Heavy Duty motor mounts for 4.0 for CJ-8

    Ok, cleaning up my empty engine bay today while talking about my complete lack of progress on the stroker swap with @yodabob I found that one of my motor mounts is cracked. While it's something I could clean up and weld, I'd just as soon go to something HD. There's the MORE and TDK frame side...

    SCAM ALERT: DO NOT EMAIL ABOUT PARTS OFF FORUM

    I've been alerted to a scammer running around PMing people who have posted in classified/wanted threads to email "Hayduke" about matching parts that he has for sale. The "referrer" isn't Hayduke, but a new member with very few posts here. The email does not belong to Hayduke but is set up with...

    Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽 favorite holiday food?

    Happy Thanksgiving y'all! We did this at work yesterday and it was fun: What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food? I’ve been bacon-wrapping our bird for years after trying it once, thinking it was sort of a joke. But the bacon renders exactly as the bird cooks and ends up cooked perfectly crisp...

    Very interesting dual Contour fan video/info - amp draw and PWM setup

    I just came across this video looking for PWM setups for the dual Contour fans I run and I had to share it... a couple very intersting pieces of information in here. He's using a basic Amazon single-output PWM controller (just to demo, you'd need a proper temp controlled unit) and an Infiniti...

    American Autowire CJ "Update" harness

    Decided to reqwire the Postal before I add the stroker and Terminator X… Fell into a deal on a newer wiring kit from American Autowire (part 510573) that's actually PERFECT for this exact situation: https://americanautowire.com/collections/jeep/products/classic-update-kit-1976-86-jeep-cj-510573...

    I always do stickers and something else fun for the Sandblast event up here each year. I always make too many. Anyone want a set of these for a stamp and whatever extra you’d want to throw at me (goes directly to the postal stroker/rewire/fuel system swap) PM me and I’ll send my PayPal.

    CJ AMC logo lit wall art

    Been needing to do this since 2020 when we got our place at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes… finally managed it. Tried to win the one at the National, but had to make my own in the end. Damn you @Jeeperdd :angry:

    Membership upgrades/PayPal issue - let bigwalton know of any problems‼️

    PayPal retired the setup we have been using for years to communicate between the forum software and PayPal so that membership upgrades were applied correctly. I **think** I have it fixed now, but there were definitely people who paid and didn't receive their upgrade. I'll try to go back on the...

    Drug commercial has a purple AMX!

    I didn't have my phone, so I didn't get photos/video but I almost lost my mind when I saw a purple AMX in a new drug commercial last night as we ate dinner. I didn't hate the purple, it's the drug's "color" and was all through the commecial, so I'm guessing that they found the first car they...

    Genright fuel pump access panel

    I just stumbled on this looking at the Genright fuel tanks... I have always said that I wouldn't go in-tank with my pump (which I really needed/wanted to) without having access through the bed, but with my limited skills, It scared me senseless to actually do. Now I don't have to bother with my...

    Forum software updated - Thanks to all our members

    Just FYI that we finally worked through some updates on the back end of the forum software AND apparently got things finally situated where we can accept the ginormous photos from newer phones without issue. There's now a dark version of our theme. You can use the regular or dark or have it...

    RIP James Lupo/jimschopshop

    I hate to post this... we lost a great father, husband and AMC/Jeep guy yesterday: James Lupo/Jims Chop Shop As happens with this place, you make friends with people you've never actually met that can be closer than some folks you know in person. While he hadn't been on here much recently, I...

    AEV Commander build details

    Someone with FB please grab the photos and copy/paste the text on here, I can’t do that right this second… One of the best April Fools I pulled on here was saying I was selling the postal to build a clone of this. Always one of my favorite “weird” builds...

    Happy New Year: year 23 🤯🤯🤯

    The emojis are for real… it absolutely blows my mind that this place is still kicking 23 years on from when it was founded. It’s a testament to those of you who have been here for decades, supporting us throughout and keeping this place going. It’s beyond amazing and while I’m not on as much...

    Photo size limit issue fixed

    The server that the site lives on was changed at the end of Oct and in doing so there was an issue with a limit being lowered on attachment file sizes. It was causing errors trying to upload photos of any typical phone file size. Sorry about that. It's now been corrected and we're back up where...
