    Warn Powerplant issue

    So yes it was the thermo sensor. Thanks for the tips. After talkng with hoaks 4x4 (warn winch service), the early winches have a aluminum sensor, the new sensors are nickle. the new sensor was $9. It is very easy to change. you just take off the end cap of the motor (2 bolts), take out a set...

    Anyone have tips for spray painting my XJ?

    This is a Krylon Desert Tan rattle can job. It sees a lot of heavy brush and mud and has held up very well. It sleeps in the garage so I'm not sure how much weathering you'd see from sun and rain. I painted over a good, intact, factory paint. one huge benefit is that if you scuff it on a...

    Axe or chainsaw?

    for trail clearing I most often use the winch and a snatch block to pull trees off the trail. It's an art to find the best anchor for pulling. I keep an axe all the time as well. If I know I will be cutting many or large trees, I bring a chain saw.

    Warn Powerplant issue

    My winch wont pull in intermittenly, when it happens the thermo light comes on. The winch is not hot at all. It runs cable out fine. I'm thinking this is either a short in the controller or the thermo switch is bad in the winch. Would it run out cable with a bad thermo switch in the winch?

    I don't know how I missed this thread... jsut caught the show last night. I was impressed with the brute. Engine swaps are always trouble but if anythng was going to overheat or go bang it would have happened plowing snow like that:ylsmoke: Looks like they built a solid truck.

    35" spare tire on stock carrier?

    The stock mount (YJ,TJ,JK) has the tire kind of low. It's good for visiblity but I was running a 35 spare on my mine and dropped off a ledge. I severly bent (destroyed) the tailgate and broke out the rear glass. I now have a high mounted swingout and have no had any similar problems.

    5-6 Person Family Tent Under $200

    I would think with 5-6 adult size people, a mesh top is going to be a must. With condensation it will be raining inside the tent otherwise. I would get everyone a good sleeping bag and keep your existing tent.

    Siberian husky as a family dog?

    the "it's all in how you raise them argument" comes from people that don't understand dogs. You need to pick a breed with the energy and temperment that complements your family. the best family pets have no human agression and low or no dog agression. Not saying you shouldn't pick a husky...
