i'll check it out. i've only had them in for a few days.

Well after hitting a deer a few months ago i finally replaced the fog light bulbs. the deer hit my bumper hard enough to damage the bulb and it also removed some paint in the process on my bumper. the deer was killed. sorry deer.;) Jeep commander 1, deer 0 anyway. just a dumb upgrade for...

might want to buy some heavy duty tie-rods. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/H2-breaks-tierod-That-NOT_94123.htm

i called treadwright about the tires they are selling. they said they are speed rated to 95 mph. :victory: looks like i'll be getting a set of these for the commander in the guard dogs.

i have the 5150's on my commander. I love them!

i've never had any issues with my wheel spacers. 2 years and 50K miles.:smiley_drive:

i've had some on my commander for 2 years without a problem. torque them properly and you won't have any problems. mine are hubcentric, 1.5" spacers from trailsport. i think most problems come from people who are idiots and cannot install parts correctly.

a 1" grade 5 bolt has a clamp load rating of 38616 lbs.:Wow1: http://www.derose.net/steve/resources/engtables/bolts.html#largebolts i think it'll work well with my 300 lbs back there.:elkgrin:

i'm pretty interested in running these Treadwright tires. i currently have BFG Mud KM's with over 50K on them. they need to be replaced sometime soon. What i'm wondering about is: Can they be aired down for off-road use? What is the max speed rating? (I never go 100mph but i do pass people...

i don't think it matters with a 1" diameter bolt. i don't know, just me. and they have that size around here, and you pay by the weight of the bolt. i got the bronze bushings from MSC industrial supply. i don't have the part numbers anymore. You can look through their catalog for bronze...

1" grade 5 bolt and bronze bushings. cheap and effect. also double shear.

i hit one with my commander about a month ago. it died pretty fast. But i was a little pissed because it scraped the paint off my freshly painted bumper, it also somehow broke the headlight mount even though it didn't touch it. :elkgrin: oh well. you can see the hair hanging out from the...

i have a factory class 5 receiver bolted to a rear subframe. the jeep is a 2006 commander. so the only rust is on the rear axle.

there really isn't any gap. i can't even slide a piece of paper between both parts when its closed. its in really good shape.

finally put my pintle hitch together today. it was mostly finished for the last month. i just did a little grinding to the mounting plate for the pintle. it is hooked into the receiver hitch so its removable should i need to actually tow a trailer. i'm mostly using it for recovery purposes.

my pintle hitch has a pin to keep the latch mechanism from opening. i'll take a picture and post it.

cool video. i just finished building my receiver mount for the pintle hitch. i just need to go test it out. looks nice and beefy back there. i had to build a receiver mount because my tire carrier would hit a normal receiver mount. i just had to drop it down about 1/4". i just need some...

because i have a pintle hitch that was free. :victory:

What are your opinions for using a Pintle Hitch for recovery. The one i have is rated for 15 tons. just curious, i have recovery points up front but nothing out back except a hitch mount.
