    Hauling my Jeep

    I had a SureTrac but sold it since I got rid of the ATVs. Very nice trailer & they will work with you if you want any upgrades, i.e. axles, suspension, etc.

    Hauling my Jeep

    A few points to ponder. 1: Get a bigger trailer than you think you need. 20' minimum. 2: Get 5,000 lb axles. Better brakes. Higher weight capacity. 3: Get brakes on both axles. Safety first. 4: Consider a deck over. Wider axles & tires might require it.

    Learning to Weld-- Tips for Beginners on Welding and Gear

    Another tip: Never have the current go through a bearing or Johnny Joint type of thing. Don't have the bearing between the Ground and the Electrode you are welding with. The bearings will arc internally and get messed up.

    Fixing a Bent Jeep Renegade Trailhawk Rear Control Arm

    Good repair job. I wonder if the arm is more susceptible to bending up in that direction now? Could you have placed the scraped-bent part up so next time the arm would bend the opposite way? Or would it even have made any difference? Keep on Toastin'!!!

    GPS question(s)

    Generally speaking, a Garmin will have the largest selection of maps. There are a lot of maps, free and paid, that won't work on a GPS other than Garmin. Check out GPSfiledepot.com for maps for various sections of the country.

    RECOVERY GEAR : A Must Have Before Hitting the Trails

    I believe this is the method that was suggested to use. The limb, magazine or better yet, a rolled up towel, goes between the loops of 2 recovery straps. Merely to facilitate separating them when you are finished...
