    Rear Tire Carrier/Swing out, Input wanted.

    i am using the t handle that atoz sells. I like the KISS aspect. 'pain in the butt' is a relative term, i really like mine. Gives me good piece of mind and does not rattle. i've tested every other latch i've seen on people rigs and they all have a little play, the t- bolt if done properly...

    33 x 10.50 safety...???

    that sounds accurate. your risk has to be higher than stock, and problably more risky than if you ran a wider track with your lift.

    I have a hole in the left side of my seat from sliding in and out of the truck. It has cloth seats. Does anyone know of a way to patch the hole? It is currently about .75" in diameter.

    Is there a 1995 Safari Edition YJ ?

    91-95 4.0, add 2 inch "Heavy duty" springs from JC Whitney, new shocks and 31x10.5 MTs and you'd have a really nice explorer. I like the look if the 87-90 fast back rollbars better

    dana 35 ok for overlanding?

    I installed an 8.8 in my buddies cherocar this past weekend. I was impressed with the size of the 8.8 , it makes the D35 look spindley. The disc brakes looked beefy and the internal e brake was very clean. The 8.8 was $100. The guy threw in the DS so we had the proper hardware to refit the...

    The Dogs Dinner

    I had a very large german shorthair pointer. He knocked a quart of ATF off the shelf, chewed it open, and drank the hole thing. I called the vet and he said "wait and see". He passed it on thru, but for about 2 days it really irrated his hind end. As soon as I'd let him out the door, he...

    Drawers With Out Slides

    I would put a center dado on the bottom of the cabinet and a coorsponding rail on the bottom of the drawer so that it slides straight. Waxing the rail to prevent binding might help out too. edit: you could also do 2 dado/rails. Make the rail 1/8" taller than the depth of the dado. This would...

    I just got my second pair for christmas and went with the wide. They feel very roomy. My fist pair are ten years old too and still kicking. At ~$250 they have to last.

    Expedition wrangler lift question (OME lift)

    Off topic, but I wonder if you could easily "box" that arm for strength or are the ends weak too?

    Headache Rack?

    The top bar is 2" higher than the cab, so I should be good with canoes, kayaks and medievil catapolts.:bike_rider: Truthfully I didn't try the canoe, if it is not high enough I can make the rear bar slightly lower, to keep the nose off the roof. The rack for the back will be easlily...

    Headache Rack?

    Thanks for the ideas:drool: I didn't go quite that extreme. I'm out of stargon so I'll post my progress so far. This is .120 wall box. It attaches though the stake pockets with j-bolts. The notch in the top bar is do you can see the brake light. I will be putting in 6" oval recessed...

    '84 CJ7 Expo build

    For ease, reliablility and horsepower, I would get a donor cherokee and drop the whole motor and tranny in. With a just a head conversion, you have to rig a cps in your existing bell housing or buy an expensive part to fit the front of the crank. I think you get more HP from a 4.0. If you go...
