Here is my latest. Given the wonderful unibody on my xj, my gear box decided to start cracking my frame right in front of my trac bar mount. Time to unf*** that situation. Made some rough templates and cut these out of some 1/8 plate I had sitting around. Got the inner on, took some...

I concur. I do this day in, day out. Stick and TIG. I promise you, anyone that thinks just cause they can operate a squirt gun (mig) means they can stick weld, they will learn why it's called "stick" welding. Lol Learn how to stick weld. Learn how ti TIG weld and burn rods. When you think...

Just remember, you watch the puddle, not the arc. Biggest mistake from inexperienced welders. The puddle will tell u 90% off what u gotta do and have done. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, I understand that, and it can kinda make sence. I was simply wondering how it hydro assist reacts compared to full hydro since they both run hydro rams. Even tho they operate differently. I know how they both work, there components, ect. I have never drove a rig with hydro assist, so...

With the hydro assist, does the steering wheel still return to center on its own? I've heard with full hydro it doesn't. You have to steer it back to straight coming out of a turn. The equipment at work is like this too. Full hydro. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

yeah, if u got their tow package, your hitch will b fine, and ur teams coming should b fine too. A weight distributing hitch simply slides into the receiver tube and has 2 extra bars that chain to the tongue off the trailer to help fight over excessive tongue weight. I would also consider a...

Flat towing, with a type bar would probably be a better solution Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

I would start with a load distributing hitch, electric brake controller, and trans cooler. Other than, you'd probably b ok. But you will be at the limits of the rating if not over depending on the trailer and if your towing that much, the explorer will b happy for only do long Sent from my...

I do not see much wincing happening at idle. Unless ur free and letting the winch catch up so u don't run it over. Other than that, you should b in the throttle, atleast some to help the winch out. And unless your really, really stuck, most of the wheeling that most people do here, doesnt...

Yeah, it will b fine on a stock/oe replacement battery. It may shorten the lift alittle, but I imagine it would take a couple batteries to offset the cost of one optima yellow top. Make sense? Most of the guys I ride w, run a winch off just one oe battery. If ur engine is running, the alt...

I don't think this helps as I got an xj, but here is my lights and winch, and my batteries Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

If u plan on good bit of wincing, I would suggest atleast a yellow top. It's not necessary as many of the guys I ride w simply winch off an off the shelf duralast or diehard, but if ur gonna get a new battery a deep cycle well b more ideal for heavy loads like winches, lights, audio ect...

This is the way I have always done it. On the trail, at home, at the shop. Ive used vices, shop presses, everything except a "ujoint"/ball joint press. Once u get it figured out, I find it to b the least complicated, as long as u don't mind chasing a socket after every swing Sent from my...

I know it's not a jk, but I had some body damage to fix and this is how it turned out Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
