    hmm...lift thoughts

    If you have the time and patience you can get the exact ride height and flex you want by making up your own spring packs, but it is a lot of work. My spring packs are home assembled using different leaves. I think the home brews tend to sag faster than a new lift spring. Conversly new lift...

    am I crazy, hanging cot in wrangler

    Search "water knot". In webbing, it makes a nice small knot. Adjust so there are almost no tails. The way the webbing leaves the knot in each direction makes it almost like a contiuous loop. Girth hitch the loop to the rollbar and you are all set. If you are totally against a knot, you can...

    Extendable Pole, Vehicle-Mounted, Camping Light

    Could you just weld a piece of pipe, closed at the bottom end, to your tire carrier upright? Use is like a flag pole holder. Then you could store the pole/light inside until you are in camp.

    *Best* Battery?

    Another vote for a yellow top, My jeeps sits for weeks between runs and always fires on the 2-3 crank. My yellow top is 4 years old now.

    Garage Junk = Interior cargo rack

    I really like that. I can't tell from your pics how the pivot works. Can you do a closeup of the pivot? Does it latch down in the back? I built a simalr tray and used expanded metal. Mine does not pivot but is removeable

    How far do you drive with your hubs locked?

    If you have an open front diff (no Locker), there is no handling effect on highway travel in 2wd. Many vehicles, like cherokees, have the hubs locked 24/7. If you leave them locked, your front drive shaft will turn but it won't hurt anything

    Explorer 1 gets a Stroker!

    What a good idea, put 2 reverse torx bolts in the most inaccessable location:elkgrin: I've felt your pain. I always replace those with hex heads when the motor goes back in:) Do you have to do anything with the fuel injection or computer to run the stroker?

    Rear storage/load barrier idea'r...

    Did you do this already or is this someone else's? It look's good. I've built 2storage trays for cherokees, I use angle bolted to the side just under the upper trim (remove the side pannel first). Then I set a full width tray on the angel brackets. If you're not planning a full cage, it may...

    XJ Hi Lift mount

    I orginally used the 4x4 rack mounts on the face of a 2x4 box bumper. I didn't like the way they looked so I scrapped them, all but the clamp plate. I made my own mounts, reused the clamp plate and used the hinge bolt to hold them down. The bolt I used is stainless. I couldn't find a close...
