This is the only one I could find with 1.25" tubing. Love their install pics, lol. https://www.ironrockoffroad.com/product/12-heavy-duty-over-the-knuckle-steering-xjtjzj.html

My tow pig, 2009 F350 V10. I don't often pull very heavy so it works for what I need although the mountain passes in Colo and Wyo make it work pretty hard. Last summer a couple of us tried pulling double to Moab and back. It's legal but I won't do it again. Randomly the Wrangler would start...

Sweet giblets that's going to be nice!

Mine also has the 4-cylinder. If you're going to keep it, gearing is your friend! Keep the engine in a good state of tune but don't throw ANY money at performance parts. The only part you WILL have to watch out for is the rear axle. D35's have a flexy housing that eats up R&P's and blows the...

Our 2006 F250 6.0 diesel (stock, no tuner) gets 13mpg pulling one Jeep on the small trailer (5500lb'ish) and we got 10.5mpg with both Jeeps on the gooseneck (roughly 12,500lb) traveling to Moab and back. I typically tow at 65mph, slower if the speed limit requires it. Unloaded, the truck has...

I run the original AT3's on my personal truck and our company trucks. They're great in the snow (fluffy and hard-pack) but if you need the next level of snow traction and can sacrifice a bit of tread life (50k vs 60k), look at Cooper's A/TW. It's the winter variant but it's not a traditional...

I'm using the fan assy out of a Pontiac Fiero. My buddy had it as a spare and it fits the radiator perfectly. I use a Deraile adjustable controller. It's worked great for a couple of years.

I flat towed with my 2001 F150 for a number of years and it did great. Got to be a bit much though going up and down the mountains with the camper in the back AND the YJ on behind. Over the winter I picked up a 2009 F350 V10 from a friend of a friend. Truck has just over 100k on it and was...

Great teaser! It would be awesome to get to spend a week with such fellas. I'm guessing 2 parts, first will be 30:00, part two will be 27 and change.

4" Trailmaster lift with the short leaves removed, Zone 1" body lift, TJ flares, 35's.

I like the new technology but I use a CB because the ranchers, farmers and other outdoorsmen around here use them almost exclusively. It's tough to call for help if nobody's listening.

On the side of my YJ

My Pa-Inlaw runs stock 255's on 17x9 Cepeks with a 1.5" lift. It doesn't look bad.

I did a little "freshening" on my BFG 33x10.5's and it made a dramatic difference in their traction on hard packed snow. Before: After:

Pulled the doors off on Monday. They're going back on tomorrow as it's supposed to snow again this weekend, lol. Gotta love Spring!
