    JK Front Seat Lowering

    I am 6'1" and like you I'd really like to be able to lower the driver set an inch or two. I am just about eye level with the sun visor and if I am the first person at a traffic light there is no way I can see the traffic light without leaning into the passenger seat or wait for a notification...

    what did you do to your Jeep today? July 2019

    I lived in an HOA controlled community in Ashburn for 5 years, after that I was willing to pay what ever premium was necessary to live in a community without one. With young children it was important to me to be able to build pool, have fenced yard of my choice, and leave my trash can out after...

    How big are Your Tires - Really

    I have General Tire Grabber AT2 33x12.5 x 15 tires inflated to 25 psi on the CJ. General Tire's website lists the tire's diameter as 32.8" with a max PSI of 35. However when I measure the diameter on the CJ it barely breaks 31". So my question is, what tire do you have on your Jeep, what is the...
