    Chaser #14. New adventures

    @RKRUGER going back and re-reading a bit, it looks like you want to put an adapter on to go from a Jeep pattern to a Toyota pattern? I think that will mean an adapter on an adapter, probably not a good idea. Unless someone has messed around with wheels to give you a really deep backspace on a...

    Chasing a squeaky tire noise

    90% guess it’s your front rzeppa joint. It will get progressively louder, but I ran mine at least 10k miles between first hearing it and changing it out. I think the part was about $200 at 4 Wheel Parts and took me about an hour all-in to change. I don’t recall special tools, but a CV boot...

    Chasing a squeaky tire noise

    There is a lot to unpack there. Some questions: You hear it with windows up or down only? Only when turning? You say Front Axle CV, but there are no CV joints in the axle. Do you mean U-joints? Did you do the front driveshaft CV? (Technically rzeppa joint). I may have spelled that...

    12V Refrigerator Questions

    I’ve owned ARB and Dometic and used both at the same time in different vehicles. I like the ARB lid and latch better and feel like it uses less power, but that was never metered to confirm. You can say fan boy all you want, but I would prefer to think of it as a good pre-purchase...

    Dual Rear Wheels and Mild Off-roading - Is it Really That Bad?

    These attachments are common on big mining trucks. Often ending in a ball so that no sharp end develops.

    It is a thing, and they are easy to get. I got mine from Venom Wheel to convert my chaser to JK wheels.

    Dual Rear Wheels and Mild Off-roading - Is it Really That Bad?

    😂 Like whiskers on a cat! Really… Expensive… Whiskers! I always laugh when I see people fold them in to clear stuff.

    Dual Rear Wheels and Mild Off-roading - Is it Really That Bad?

    I’ve worked decades in mining and heavy civil construction. Life overloaded on a site is far more detrimental than mild off-roading and most of those trucks are dually. I wouldn’t hesitate if I wanted that kind of load capacity. It is rare to be driving on loose rock of exactly the size to...

    Adhesive Identification and Removal Advice - Help!

    Agree on the heat. I’ve stripped the undercoat from a few old cars with heat guns and wd40 or mineral spirits…. Same stuff, black butyl goo!

    Pizza on the Pistes

    It also seems to be a place to complain that others haven’t changed stuff that you can’t change either.

    How come we don't see turntable drawbar trailers?

    Backing +100, complexity and cost of the steering, “we’ve always done it this way”… many factors I suspect.

    Admit it… 150 of us are wondering if that hi-lift is really available now!

    2014 JKUR - What is that Buzzing in the Dash?

    Did you figure this out yet? I went down another rabbit hole as my noise comes and goes, probably randomly, but always with higher temperatures and acceleration. Some really deep forum reading pointed out that the metal heater lines coming in through the firewall can vibrate together. The...

    Looking for a custom aluminum box for trailer tongue

    The commercial truck toolbox people seem to have hundreds of options in various shapes and sizes. Have you done any catalog searches? Do you have a sketch of what you are thinking?

    TPMS? Battery life?

    So, multiple questions: I have a 2014 JKUR, it just turned 160,000 mostly fun miles today. I think new tires are in order, yet while examining some fault codes for a hopefully unrelated issue, I found B210A - system voltage low. I’m thinking this has something to do with the 5 sensor...

    where_the_heffalump_roams 917 AF

    What is the approximate thickness of the engine cradle? I suspect finding one shop to accomplish this will be relatively difficult, as most truck repair / parts swappers aren’t going to have the relationships needed with drafting specialists and machine shops that have higher power laser...
