Using Simple Tools for Better Communication. Whether you’re driving a Jeep down a dusty trail or communicating with your Jeep convoy, a CB radio is still a solid tool in the toolbox. But even the best CB radio won’t perform right without a proper tune-up, and that’s where an SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) meter comes …
The Jeep NP231 transfer case, used in everything from YJs to TJs and XJs is a lightweight, reliable part of the 4WD puzzle. But when you start throwing serious tires, lockers, and steep trails at your Jeep, its limits can become obvious.

The old school incandescent headlights in a TJ are a classic and iconic look for the TJ but the light output is poor by today’s standards. The Quadratec Premium LED Headlights are a great addition to any Jeep to brighten up the night. These aren’t just ordinary LED lights, they are made by JW Speaker, …
The factory headlights on a Jeep CJ and TJ do one thing reasonably well—they turn on. Beyond that, performance is often lackluster, especially if you’re driving at night on country roads or heading off-road after sundown. Whether you’re keeping things classic or upgrading for performance and safety, there are three main Jeep headlight options when …
This Jeep isn’t particularly strange but it belongs to a guy named Strange. It’s a work of art and it’s the kind of Jeep you could just sit and stare at. On occasion we come across a Jeep that’s just worth doing a little feature about. This restored 1963 CJ-5 has had the same owner …
