This Is
Me.

A Combat Medic Veteran who loves Jeeps, loves to save money and time, loves Jesus, loves dogs, and loves my wife. I created this free tool to help fellow Jeepers save time and money. I don't know how many videos and blogs I watched and read — let's just say I have a lot more gray hair now. So I built the resource I wish I had from day one.

Wrangler TJ
1997 – 2006

The coil-spring classic. My personal build. Legendary 4.0L inline-six, but 20+ years means serious maintenance challenges if you're not paying attention.

Wrangler JK
2007 – 2018

Bigger, more capable, and more complex. The 4-door Unlimited arrived and so did new failure points. The 3.8L years especially need attention.

Wrangler JL
2018 – Present

Say Hello

Got a Jeep question? Found something I got wrong? Just want to say hi? I read every message and try to reply to all of them — it may take a few days, there's a TJ in the garage with opinions about my free time.

No spam. No newsletter. Just a reply from a guy in a garage.

✓   Message received! I'll get back to you soon — probably after I'm done arguing with the AX-15.
What I'm Good At

TJ-specific problems, sourcing parts on a budget, deciding whether a Jeep is worth buying, and understanding what the YouTube guys skipped over.

Honest Disclaimer

I'm not a professional mechanic. I'm a veteran with a wrench, a service manual, and a lot of hard-won experience. Always verify critical repairs with a qualified professional.

Response Time

Usually 3–5 days. Longer if I'm deep in a phase. I'll always get back to you.
