    Need some input on building a Weekend Warrior WJ on $4 grand budget

    I had a 97 Grand Cherokee. I did the 2" Tuff Country lift and 33" BFG KO. I added a gas tank skid plate from Rusty's and the front cross member replacement from Kevin's off road. We were able to do White Rim Trail and other off road routes. The only thing I would do different is the BFGs did...

    Help with Jeep purchase

    There are lots of soccer mom grand Cherokees around Seattle. That's what I had before the JK. Look for one that has been on craigslist for several weeks. The soccer mom usually has bought the new rig and is eager to sell. Good Luck.

    Jeep Auxiliary Wiring Basics

    I used a Painless fuse box mounted next to the battery. The cost is under $80.00. It has fused circuits that work with or without the ignition on. I have had it for 6 years with no problems. I believe there is a knife switch that can be mounted to the battery for the a manual winch disconnect.

    How the GC handle the weight of the trailer? Say around corners and up hills like out of Biggs Junction heading to Bend? I am thinking about the diesel GC to pull my 4500 lb Jayco. Thanks

    4 Vehicle Choice for Budget SUV

    Look for a soccer mom grand Cherokee. I had one before the kids left home and I could afford the Rubi. Most of the Grands in my state have never seen 4 wheel drive and have been maintained by the dealer. Because there are so many the price can be reasonable. I looked for the poorly written add...

    Anviljk's JKUR Adventure Thread

    If you are putting a winch on the front, I would recommend you do not waste money on a budget boost as I and many others did. The stock springs will fail in 6 months or so from the weight of the winch. When I could not get my finger between the bumpstop and axel I knew springs were required...

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    It does not hurt to carry a spare fuel filter, mine plugged after a couple of seasons using the bulk propane. I assume if the filter clogged from dirty propane the heating surface could also clog? Just wondering if anyone knows.

    Starter noise after replacing clutch?

    I have seen many rebuilt starters that will spin on the test bench when newly rebuilt, but will not turn the engine over. If you are using the starter to start the vehicle in gear while 4-wheeling they will not last very long. In my opinion, not to offend, the life time starters appear to be...
