    DIY switch panel ideas

    I cut out the ash tray and added a left panel to the right. I found some stock looking aftermarket switches that fit in the stock holes. The temp and volt gauge is removable and is a power plug. Below (first picture) I have a dual battery switch and a usb power supply with yet another volt meter...

    SYE install: Remove transfer case or not?

    I have done it both ways also. I found it easier to get the case cover back on on the bench, but doing it under the car wasn't much worse. When I did mine under the car, I did it on jack stands on my back. Probably much easier in the car if you had a proper lift, but again I didn't, and it went...

    Washington XXX root beer drive-in Jeep show

    I have been here 13 years, and am a Quadder, Jeeper, and Camper and I have yet to see a snake or a black widow, but I have seen one scorpion. I was waiting at my friends desk at the end of the day to go riding home after work, and he grabbed his back pack to put his laptop in and scorpion came...

    Washington XXX root beer drive-in Jeep show

    Ah that's too bad we could have met halfway or maybe we could have even gone down to Tucson. We haven't actually been to Tuscon yet. I have driven though it a couple times. We could have come down for the night and met up for dinner or something. Maybe next time. Glad you got to come down here...

    Washington XXX root beer drive-in Jeep show

    I used to go to them all of the time. They were full, but never more than 100 or so people at one time. Most people hang out outdoors. Although truth be told that was 20 years ago for me. Damn I have been living in AZ for 13 years now. I miss the 4x4 meetups. There were so many. We don't have...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    That is pretty bad-ass, you should start a build thread with the progress. It will be fun to watch this grow.

    What have you broken on the trail?

    Last year about this time, I was out at Sycamore Creek doing a test run. I just got done putting new wheels and tires and 4" currie lift on. I was planning on meeting people up in Moab in the next month so I wanted to do a ruff test drive. We were crawling over small rocks and crossing creeks...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    My boy had one too when he was little. I would take it camping with us, so he could drive around the camp. One time he got it stuck, and he made me come over in my jeep and winch it out. It was really funny.

    Why did you choose the winch you have?

    For me back in the Late 80's I used to build tall K-5 blazers. I had a stand up Warn 8K winch for a while, and it never failed me but when with a sale. Then I purchased a warn M8000 winch brand new from 4wheel parts at the Puyallup Fair Swap meet for a good price and it sat on my 74 blazer with...

    Need flatbed trailer tires

    Yep, here in az we have to keep our tires covered, a good summer can eat away a good set. If I have to park my trucks outside I throw towels over the tires and around the windshield wipers in the summer. Last summer I didn't do that and we had a rain and the first time it hit the wipers the...

    Need flatbed trailer tires

    Follow up update. I did buy 5 Goodyear Endurance as you suggested. They sure didn't give them away, but I have a ton more confidence in them than I did with the old ones. They didn't have the 5th one in stock so they are going to mount and balance it up next week. Thanks again for the advice.
