I really like the idea of mounting the compressor under the seat. And as far as the extra weight of the compressor Putting stress on the seat mountings, how much weight are we talking about? More than a plus sized passenger?

If you buy grinders, you may wantto spend a few extra dollars buying ones that are built for professional construction work, instead of a piece of junk from Home Despot. Go to an industrial supply for tools and stuff like grinding wheels. Big box stores don't carry 1/8" thick or 0.045 cutting...

Does anyone have issues with quirks in the electrical systems, like bad groundings, in the JK? Libertys have a tendency to have this problem, with things like interior lights turning on for a brief instant when turning on and off turn signals.

Wright tools has a good torque wrench that's American made. I use them at work. SK tools are the wrenches I use from my personal toolbox, and my SK torque wrench has never let me down. American made also.

Listen to this advice. It's solid.

Wire rope or synthetic?

I'm assuming, this is the wrong way to use a tree as your stationary pulling point... https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1039983006015285

The chain is a good idea, because if you have sharp edges on the frame, nylon straps can be damaged or cut, and you take the chance of losing tensile strength, or the whole load as you're pulling. Softeners for sharp edges should be used to reduce that risk. Just for reference... But, for...

He was referring to two different hooks.

Agreed on using Crosby shackles. And I'm noticing the use of different terminology here than would be used in the construction industry. One thing to be especially wary of is cast hooks. Some Chinese made hooks are made with cast steel, instead of forged steel. And the cast hooks have been...

They say to back off the pin of the shackle, intending for it to not over tighten. In construction rigging, that's something that is frowned upon. If you really need to undo the pin, keep a small spud wrench. The tapered end will fit in the eye of the pin, so you can remove it. An adjustable...

I'm a bit late to this thread but... Best post ever. I haven't read through the whole thread, but I always kept a 2 ton come along in my old CJ5 and Bronco. With shackles and nylon or Kevlar straps, you can get another needed angle to get free of a bad situation. One thing I'm thinking of...

:thumb: Miller, Lincoln and Hobart are what I'd look at first. I'd probably go with a Miller over the others, just because the ones I use haven't given me problems. if you go used, be aware that if the rheostats are in bad shape, get a wiring diagram and replace them. After 40 years, I'm not...

Miller Welding machines are probably the best. But as you know, the average guy isn't going to plunk down that much money for the machine and TiG rigs. As for me, if I was welding on my vehicle, I wouldn't do any less than use 7018 LowHy or use the TiG. Frankly, the little MiG buzz boxes sold at...

Do yourself a favor and either run the argon when MiG welding, or stick weld using 7018 wire.

I introduced myself elsewhere on the forum, but here's another hello.

Hi guys. I'm without a Wrangler at the moment, but getting ready to purchase one very soon. I'm tooling around in a Liberty that I bought new 8 years ago. Living in the city doesn't give me too many opportunities for off-road driving, but I lived for a lot of years in upstate PA, where I was...
