Built, Not Bought
A community of wrench-turners, trail-breakers, and garage warriors who believe the best Jeep is the one you built with your own two hands. Tennessee grit. Grease-stained knuckles. Real knowledge.
Enter the GarageWhat We Do
This club is for people who wrench on their own rigs. We share knowledge, lend tools, and help each other build. No gatekeeping. No egos. Just people who love Jeeps and the work it takes to make them trail-ready.
Garage days where members bring their projects and work side by side. Need a second pair of hands holding that differential? We got you. Collective experience means faster diagnosis and better builds.
Tech sessions covering everything from basic maintenance to full drivetrain swaps. Members teach what they know. We document builds so the next person does not have to figure it out from scratch.
Got a weekend project bigger than one person? Post it up and the crew shows up. Lift installs, axle swaps, cage fabrication. Many hands make light work, and everybody learns something new.
Knowledge Base
Common Jeep projects broken down by our members. Real-world experience from people who have done the work, made the mistakes, and dialed in the process.
Spring vs. spacer lifts, what tools you actually need, torque specs that matter, and the alignment gotchas nobody tells you about. Covers TJ, JK, and JL platforms.
Why you need to re-gear after bigger tires, how to choose the right ratio, ring and pinion setup procedures, and how to set backlash and pattern correctly the first time.
Air lockers vs. selectable vs. limited slip. Carrier break differences, install procedures, airline routing for ARB units, and common mistakes that lead to premature failure.
Designing and building your own steel bumpers. Material selection, tube vs. plate, bending and notching techniques, mounting to frame, and proper winch plate integration.
Auxiliary lighting wiring, relay basics, fuse block installation, and keeping your electrical system clean. How to avoid the rats nest that plagues most trail rigs.
Cut it out or patch it? Frame section replacement, rocker panel repair, POR-15 vs. Fluid Film debate, and keeping Tennessee weather from eating your rig alive.
Monthly Events
Monthly wrench nights where you bring your Jeep, your problem, and your willingness to learn. Collective knowledge under one roof.
Once a month we take over a garage and get to work. Members bring projects ranging from simple oil changes to full axle swaps. Experienced builders float between bays helping diagnose, teach, and turn wrenches.
No appointment needed. No judgment on your skill level. If you are willing to learn and willing to get dirty, you belong here.
Doors open at 5:00 PM on the designated Saturday each month. Bring your own fluids, filters, and parts. Club has floor jacks, jack stands, a press, and common hand tools.
First-timers: just show up. Introduce yourself, tell us what you drive and what you are working on. Somebody will point you in the right direction.
Follow us on social media or join the group chat for date and location announcements each month.
