    Driving on the left side...

    In Amarillo, TX it is just now nice enough to take the top of the Jeep. What a terrible wait it has been!! The day I almost took it off we had a tornado warning. :gaah: But the day is finally here and I am driving in the left lane with my waving hand ready. The city is overrun with topless...

    Soft top for '93 YJ

    I am looking for a complete black soft top for my '93 YJ wrangler. I do not need upper doors but do want windows. No rips desired, but I can repair little things if it's not bad. I live in Amarillo, Texas and would like to pay as little as possible for shipping. Looking to pay under $100...

    Why are coilovers better?

    You must have been slinging some serious stones to rip that up this bad. I can't imagine what would've happened had you been running a regular shock. :grayno::eek:

    Why are coilovers better?

    Wow! This is great info guys. Thank you, WOL especially, for clearing these things up. I knew these King coilovers had to be special since they are Mel's bread and butter, but I didn't realize how incredibly functional they were. Thanks for turning my uninformed question into a thread of awesome...

    Why are coilovers better?

    I guess the title basically asks the question, but why is it better to have the coil around the shock instead of next to it? Is there a mechanical advantage or does it just save space? Also, why are Kings so good? (not bashing king). I am actually curious as to the mechanical/technical side of...

    Wheeling Queation

    Very informative. Thanks! There's a guy who lives down the street from me with a mud racer and I never understood his "silly" tractor tires. Now I do.

    (Nice YJ in the avatar). So pretty much the same idea as rock crawling? Makes sense, I just heard a guy talking about airing his tires up so they would "float". I think he might have just been a redneck idiot (common around here). Thanks Jeff.

    Best way to Paint Undercarriage?

    If I repaint I'm gonna get a kit from POR15. But I wasn't thinking when I first did this.:doh: But I still got the results I wanted and didn't spend too much time or money.

    Best way to Paint Undercarriage?

    I did it a while ago but here I think this is it. Its rated to 2000 degrees (not sure if I believe that but it's high enough for an axle...

    Best way to Paint Undercarriage?

    Yes painting anything on the undercarriage is almost temporary paint because of debris flying around under there, especially when wheeling. I painted mine with high temp rustoleum. I used a sander and a wire brush to prep it and then taped off things I didn't want black or didn't want paint in...

    Wheeling Queation

    I've often wondered about wheeling psi in mud. It seems having them inflated a little more would help you out in mud as opposed to our normal low psi. Just curious as to how this works in mud. Can anyone clarify? [thread jacked sorry] :bummed:

    Mpg, wear, and that jazz.

    Dad's looking to get 35" Mud or trail grapplers on his 6cyl TJ. I hear they're heavier than most tires. We're wondering how bad of an mpg drop he's going to see. He already has a 4" lift and 33s. Also, how well do they wear on the road (compared to each other)?

    What is this!! Need help

    Elementary school pencil sharpener is what it looks like. haha jk. That is where your distributor needs to be. The adapter connected to it is the ignition coil. So your looking at a lack of a distributor. Obviously this is vital to running the engine as your spark plugs are directly connected...

    How long can I roll on this???

    It snowed BIG here in texas a few days ago and I went wheeling. I found an unseen curb with my rear right wheel/tire and put a gouge in the sidewall. Is there a rule on how bad it gets before you need a new tire? The gouge is about 1/2 an inch deep. I have 235/75/R15 Kelly Safari tires so theyre...

    The Winch Thread

    Got a buddy with a rugged ridge 8500 on his land cruiser. He has to use it a lot and has winched off me several times. I wouldn't get one because it's like watching a snail get winched. really slow line speed. But it's a beast work horse (think peirce winch :brows:). There are better options out...

    The Winch Thread

    Fantastic. Thanks. It's come down to the VR10000 and the superwinch talon 9.5 for me. But that's after a new bumper and lift. lol. $$$:shock:$$$

    The Winch Thread

    1. What kind of winch do u own? 2. Pros/Cons? 3. What kinda line do u use? Steel or Synthetic? 4. Ever had to use it? 1. Warn M8000 2. Very reliable, no problems ever, and price was extremely fair ($650 new). Line speed a little slow for what I use it for, but not bad enough that I wouldn't...
