Nope, gravity does the job. Eddie will probably shit on me, but here's the link. I'm all about sharing information and helping jeepers. I don't get a penny. Just do 2, 2x4 stands instead of the 3. Good to go. Moved from here: https://wayalife.com/showthread.php/56594-Hard-Top-Storage

So a friend who've I've known since I was 5 (but been out of touch for 30 years), popped back on the social radar. He just bought his 15 year old (and himself) a 2016 JKU Sahara. It's a 6MT with 3.73 gears. We wants to run 33's and a 2" lift and not have to mess with anything else. I was...

My Virginia club is heading to Moab for those dates. We went 2 years ago and had a blast. Some of us have scattered to the wind, so we're coming in from Miami, Texas, Virginia, and some other places. Wanted to see if any WAL'ers are going to be around.

So I've been getting random pink antifreeze drip/drops on my garage floor. I checked all over and I'm getting a drip from the lower driver's side radiator tank. I did a search and of course I'm far from the only one. I'm out of warranty. Should I get a crown replacement or up the ante and...

I upgraded from the compact Midland 1001lWX to a new President McKinley SSB CB radio. What a difference! https://president-electronics.us/CB-Radios-Ham-Radios/AM-SSB-transceivers/MC-KINLEY-USA The Midland is a solid little compact radio with NOAA channels. The President allows for upper and...

Good info and thanks for sharing. However- the fitment issue isn't the pin diameter. On the flat link expert, the eye of the shackle needs to pass through the hole in the link. The eye on the cheap shackles is too fat, while the crosby ones fit though.

He never said warn hooks were junk (I think). He said the warn/shittybuilt/cheap shackles were. I didn’t say those shackles are junk, never saw or heard of one failing. But they’re fatter than the Crosby ones and don’t work with the flat link.

I read through that. Pretty much my thoughts. Would I buy another one? Nope. Will I throw it in the bin? Nope. I'm just glad I checked my shackles before I needed it. I'm passing that knowledge on so someone else doesn't get burned.

It's not more useful, that's for sure. I had a huge yellow "rescue hook" on the XD9000 of my 'ol CJ7 that was great. It didn't "store" very well and even hooked to a shackle would bang the hell out of the bumper. The flat link snugs up tight against the fairlead with no rattle. It's supposed...

I avoided disaster by checking my 4 shackles with the factor 55 flat link "E" that I've had for a couple of years. Guess what, they're too big to fit through. It turns out the made in the USA Crosby shackles fit through because they are thinner. I'm assuming they're made from better steel.

I know, I'm crazy. After a year with the body mounted carrier and using my jeep as a daily driver, camper/boat hauler, and cub scout camping mobile I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy another EVO hinged carrier. (I sold my old one for $450, dumb). I have to run a 13" long trailer hitch stinger...

You have 2 threads on this. Nitrogen.

What happened to the video link? Someone may have edited it out. It's a rainy day down here and I was going to get my "learn on". Edit: Google found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FLiq2_N76Q Edit 2: Okay I watched the video. I get that the winch can pull the steering in one...

hmmm.....

Okay you got me geeking out. New rules say 2 watts. I think you can get a license to operate to use more power. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service

The icon for the radio I posted says 15 watts. Besides the FCC won’t be up in the mountains while you’re off-roading.

I haven't tried it, but you can get vehicle sized FRS radios with external antenna that should smoke a hand held FRS and a CB. Something like this: https://midlandusa.com/product/mxt115-micromobile-2-way-radio/ Try out an amateur radio forum, I'm sure the super dorks will help you out. Then...

I just wrapped up a 9 hour work day putting in Revolution chromoly front axle shafts, new inner seals, and dynatrac prosteer ball joints. Everything came apart pretty easily. Had to drop the PSC steering ram, drag link, and tie rod. Pull caliper brackets and rotors. 35mm socket for axle...

I finally got done putting the u joints together. For $900 I was hoping they'd assemble them! The full c-clips are a pain, but it's all together. Now, should I squirt the u joint and parts that will be exposed with some flat back before installing? I can't tell if the shafts are bare steel...

Since I'm replacing my inner seals, I want to upgrade the shafts as well. I have revolution rears and happy with them, so I was thinking about using them for the fronts. Looks like factory direct for $899 is the option there. Or what about ten, g2, etc? I was going to do RCV's like some my...
