    Franken-winch?

    I got a Ramsey 9000 that looks just like that. It is a tough SOB. Been on 3 vehicles since I bought it sometime in the 80s. Clear woods with it pulling big trees down, roots and all, using snatch blocks and chains. I made a hitch plate way before you could buy them, so i can use it on my...

    Regretting not taking pics

    I never owned a camera until later in life and I wish I capture some of the stuff I did and built. I rebuilt or modded several vehicles and do not have any pictures. I traveled to many places and country's scuba diving and exploring and never took a photo. I built competition stereos back in the...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Replaced Cam Synchronizer or in reality OPDA. It is the same thing and does the same thing but for some reason it's called a different name. Mine was ticking then I got the laughing monkey sound and my 4.0 is a 2003, that from what I read was not problematic. Drove it this morning perfect so far.

    Do 2003 TJs have OPDA problems

    Cranked up my 2003 4.0 and heard a squealing noise from the engine. It sounded like it was coming from the OPDA but then it went quiet before I could pinpoint the exact location, I have 120,000 miles on it and it runs good and I never heard this before. When I search, it is only mentioned in...

    Japanese Minitrucks Kei Cars

    Lot a people around here have them, some are street legal. 3 neighbors have them. I wondered how hard it is to get parts for them and A guy told me you can order just about any part, but it takes a while to get them. They had one for sale that the bed lifted up like a scissor lift that I thought...

    Another happy Powertrax no-slip owner

    Good catch on the brake lines, possible prevented an accident. This is going to be my next upgrade for my front end, but it has 486s so not sure how easy it will be to add.
