I mounted mine in the same spot ‘09 JK. The switch is in process along with some other wiring installations and cleanup.

interesting. Agreed on the literature being very complete but does not say the calibration will take long. Only says it takes as long as needed to determine direction of travel. It says it can be installed in any direction as long as it’s a solid mount but after reading this I wonder if there...

The 2kHD uses 3500lb spindles and brakes fyi. I have also heard of someone using the 3500 set up and swapping the 2k rubber to better suit the weight.

Awesome work on the “auto-flate”! Maybe I am misunderstanding the time intervals but what I think it means is you’re trying to anticipate the time to go from deflated to near inflated to check the pressure while the compressor is off So an accurate reading will show. Would it be better to...

^^^ this. I use my Jeep for more utility than play and tow quite often. The 3.8 I had was another story but could do it, stressfully(if that’s a word) power aside I felt the JKU handled up to the rated 3500lbs very well with brakes and up to 2k(all I tried) without brakes.

im certainly no genius but I tend to agree with this. Sell a 5.7 Hemi JL/JT like the ram 1500 To leave some meat on the bone for the aftermarkets. Easy to swap in a 6.4 or a hellcat whatever, the heavy lifting to adapt is all done. That or make each an option like the WK2s. I think this might...

if I had a ‘12+ JK I’d play it simple and swap in a 5.7 Hemi using the AEV builders kit. simple, everything fits, reuse the auto tranny That is not a Chrysler tranny. I am almost finished with my Ram 5.7 with 8 speed swap using the Jeep Speed Shop kit. I do hope it is everything I think it is...

AH, I’m getting there... thanks for the lessons!

straight down the Rabbit hole I go... great, so, the CCA of a battery needs to be higher than the max amp draw of the winch, correct? I assume so as the cranking amps indicate the battery can provide enough current to operate. My example is a 775cca battery running a winch capable of 452 amps...

Thanks for the reply’s and now a question since it’s brought up. What is the comparison between winching with a single 100ah battery(group31) and say two 55ah(group34s) the 10ah difference of the 2 34s or is there another factor here? Yes winching is done typically with the engine running...

thank you. Good point on the voltage cut off. Makes a lot of sense now that you say it. also interesting point on the recovery time. Less aH used less time to recover. Both ideas will primarily use the alternator for recovery. I am not seeing solar as a cost effective solution for me at this...

I have both tires in a 285/75R16 on a XJ that lives in Montana. The duratracs are studded so obviously work extremely well on ice. That said the duatracs are much more aggressive and do have decent siping on the tread blocks so I believe they will work just as good on ice than than the KO2s. My...

I apologize and willing to take my beatings in advance.. but been reading many topics on dual batteries and many others looking for the same info I am trying to confirm but I am trying to get my basic understanding confirmed before diving into the details of proper charging systems...

Nice, thats a good deal for a a3. And yes these trailers track excellent behind the JKU even with the wider track width. if you’re concerned with matching the track width of your JK you will need to inboard the wheel wells like I did on my trailer. the jK axle width is 65 or 66” IIRC and with...

got the old sleeper XJ out for some social distancing.

I don’t use this exact shovel but this type. Using many different shovels over the years this type works best for me. It might not be for everyone but I find this type best for chipping away at packed snow and ice under the axles or frame. The straight angle allows me to chop branches, ice...

Depends on the vehicle. My XJ on 33s is very capable with 8psi. It doesn’t have beadlocks so going lower say 4 is only in extreme cases. But it weights maybe 4300 lbs. My JKU (37s) on the other hand is far less capable at the same PSI. Having beadlocks I run as low as 1.5 but am more...

Having just bought a WK2 with air ride and Quadra track 2 id consider the air suspension on the Trailhawk pros and cons before picking one or the other. The Trail Hawk has the adjustable air suspension that offers 4 or 5 inches of adjustability and is very easy (and cheap) to lift an...

Being in the market for an articulating couple to replace my Pintle coupler this looks like a great new option. I do not see the potential for binding as one of the two other options have and I really like that I can use the 2” ball I use for my other trailer. Do you have any pictures of it in...

I think that is a Sterling trailer http://www.ewillys.com/2014/05/07/sterling-manufacturings-jeep-trailer/
