    Trail Break: Better solutions for factory hood straps?

    That is a good idea, since the sun here eats rubber. Although these did seem to last a long time, but it didn't even break from me shutting the hood. I hit a bump pretty hard and it snapped. On the plus side it re-aligned my front end or at least straightened out my steering wheel haha. I...

    Trail Break: Better solutions for factory hood straps?

    I was able to limp it home under it's own power. Thanks, you seem to be the only one concerned about me and my Jeeps well being! We are doing well! thanks for asking.

    Those look better than the ones I have been looking at so far.

    Trail Break: Better solutions for factory hood straps?

    My Wife and i went wheelin' down at Sycamore Creek, and played around at Butcher Jones. It is starting to become a habit because it is so close, and a fun day trip. Plus I think that is about as much as she can take, but we had a trail break on Saturday. I know this is horrible to happen on a...

    4.56 or 4.88 gears?

    I had 33's with 456's in my YJ and always kind of wished I went more. it was actually fine driving around but 4 low was just not quite low enough for my taste. Honestly there isn't a whole lot of different between 456 and 488, but now in my Tj I am running 488 and front and rear elockers with...

    Warn 10k winch dashboard switch

    Interesting. It is probably dumb luck but all of the Yellow tops I have bought are still going good with the latest being over 4 years old, but my blue top I bought for my tent trailer didn't even get 6 months out of it. Same for my red top I bought for my RAM. It didn't even last 6 months. I...

    Warn 10k winch dashboard switch

    I don't like to be stuck anywhere. I live in Arizona where it is extra hard on batteries. I cannot make up your mind for you, but I really like my set up. I wouldn't go as far as not recommended though. I don't see the problem of having two batteries, but there is definitely a couple caveats...

    Warn 10k winch dashboard switch

    I am not sure if it is available anymore, but I bought a new Stick from Ebay that is straight. Although I have seen others just heat up and bend their stock ones straight. Then I bought the new knobs off of ebay. On an unrelated note, I had some issues with the transfer case linkage going to...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    As do I, Her Jeep actually came that way, and I offered to take it off, but she said she liked it so it stays. Haha

    Winch Power Switch

    I think the winches are waterproof for the most part. I don't think the solenoids necessarily have to be. Mine is wired into the cab into switches that look stock but are not waterproof by any means. I am pretty sure I can submerge my winch under water and still use it. I have done it before...

    Winch Power Switch

    I wired mine to places that already had wires. So mine isn't any less waterproof than it was before I started. Well except in side the cab perhaps, but if that is what you are asking then you would want some waterproof switches and some silicone. Now if you are just talking about the solenoids...

    4WD.com (not a great experience)

    What's weird is every since you posted this and I responded, I am getting spam from them. I am not saying that it is magic, just a weird coincidence. I am thinking when you asked if they were still open. I probably went to go look, and they grabbed a cookie. I hate that crap. It's ok because...

    4WD.com (not a great experience)

    I would start a charge back. Extremely easy if you use Paypal, but there is only a certain amount of time to start or your out. I ordered some Locking hubs from a company, and they took my money but never gave me the parts. I think there was like a 3 month window to complain. I went to the BBB...

    4WD.com (not a great experience)

    Northridge is my preferred also, but I have never had any issues with 4wd in the past, but admittedly, I haven't bought anything from them an a couple of years. Also just to throw more in there. I buy a lot from Summit Racing, it is hit and miss for pricing, but they are as good as amazon for...

    Arizona Wheelin

    Yeah you'll want to come down, and get settled in first for sure. Don't get discouraged by the summer. It sucks for sure, but the winters are super nice. It makes it all worth it. The weirdest thing is when everybody here starts posting "Took my top off today!" and you think damn I just put my...

    Man, I don't know, but I think you just moving to Arizona is going to be going down the highway to hell. It is supposed to be 107 on Thursday! Grrr Time to put the top back on for the summer. "I'm getting too old for this shit!"
