    Superwinch S9000 help

    I have this winch on my jeep. Bought it used a year or so ago and it has performed great. Was working at my brothers house last weekend and it would freespool, unwind under power but would not power in. I am guessing new solenoid, but before I drop the $100 or so, I thought I would check to...

    Road to CX?

    Playing with the idea of getting back on the road. I have an older Trek 1200 road bike, that I bought used a while back. I guess it is actually a tourer, since it has a triple front chain ring. Thought I might ride to work a few days per week. My first mile is on very rough unimproved dirt...

    Stupid Jeep Question

    My 2005 LJ Rubicon came with what I am guessing is a sound deadening insulation on the inside of the hood. Stupid question... is there any other point to that mat? Seems like it would hold a lot of heat in. Thanks - John

    ARB compressor problem

    Hey folks. My son's 2000 TJ ARB compressor for his lockers has stopped working. Seems as if it is not getting power at all, yet the switches are getting power. I replaced a relay that looked a bit corroded and a in line fuse also. I did not install this system and have no experience with it...

    Synthetic vs. Wire

    Having used a Warn HS 9500 for years, that now resides on my son's jeep I have just begun shopping for a new winch. I understand the benefit of the Synthetic rope vs. the wire in regard to safety, ease of handling and weight. I use my winches and jeeps on a nearly weekly basis around my land...
