    Balancing your larger tires...best method?

    They do that in training tractor tires ( I suppose elsewhere ) in increase the weight of the tire for added traction. How much do you use for balancing?

    Off road lights: A confession and a couple of questions...

    I was out checking traps with my son in his new to him 1986 Toyota 4X4 pickup and spent over an hour dealing with inadequate lights. I live in the woods and it gets dark. Seeing straight out in front isn't enough. I have the factory fog light from my Jeep in the back of my Jeep and want to...

    Fog light question

    How hard would it be to mount them low when fog is a concern and the just remount them high when damage is a concern. Just leave the wires long enough so you can move them when needed.

    Off road lights: A confession and a couple of questions...

    Martinjpmr, were you into "off road" before "overland"? I felt the same as you, but now I do more offroading than just trail rides at off road parks. My needs have changed. Lighting is one of them. When you are crawling down a difficult trail at 3ph you don't need to see that far ahead of you...

    Recovery Bag Recommendations

    I'd rather keep my high lift inside and out of the elements. With the Wrangler's short wheelbase adding that much weight to the back of a really changes how it drives. I do have a hitch hauler that will mount at the point you can see above the hi lift but I don't put much weight on it. I never...

    custom bumper reliability

    I am not familiar with the Nissan but if at all possible I would want my recovery points attached to the frame in the factory location. Some vechicles have tie downs that are often mistake for as recovery points. If there isn't place on the frame I would go for the smallest bumper possible...

    Newbie looking for advice

    Newbie looking for advice

    Jeep Forum caters to a different crowd. There they are more into harder core off roading, The bigger the build the better. Building bigger cost bigger $$$$. As far as maintaining that Jeep and normal maintenance it will cost less then many other vehicles that age.

    Front bumper for an 86 4X4 pickup

    A tube bumper wouldn't be your first choice but definitely definitely more robust than stock.
