    12V Refrigerator Questions

    I’ve owned ARB and Dometic and used both at the same time in different vehicles. I like the ARB lid and latch better and feel like it uses less power, but that was never metered to confirm. You can say fan boy all you want, but I would prefer to think of it as a good pre-purchase...

    Dual Rear Wheels and Mild Off-roading - Is it Really That Bad?

    These attachments are common on big mining trucks. Often ending in a ball so that no sharp end develops.

    Chaser #14. New adventures

    It is a thing, and they are easy to get. I got mine from Venom Wheel to convert my chaser to JK wheels.

    Dual Rear Wheels and Mild Off-roading - Is it Really That Bad?

    😂 Like whiskers on a cat! Really… Expensive… Whiskers! I always laugh when I see people fold them in to clear stuff.

    Dual Rear Wheels and Mild Off-roading - Is it Really That Bad?

    I’ve worked decades in mining and heavy civil construction. Life overloaded on a site is far more detrimental than mild off-roading and most of those trucks are dually. I wouldn’t hesitate if I wanted that kind of load capacity. It is rare to be driving on loose rock of exactly the size to...

    Adhesive Identification and Removal Advice - Help!

    Agree on the heat. I’ve stripped the undercoat from a few old cars with heat guns and wd40 or mineral spirits…. Same stuff, black butyl goo!

    Pizza on the Pistes

    It also seems to be a place to complain that others haven’t changed stuff that you can’t change either.

    How come we don't see turntable drawbar trailers?

    Backing +100, complexity and cost of the steering, “we’ve always done it this way”… many factors I suspect.

    Many of us have ugly distant cousins, so do EV trucks

    Admit it… 150 of us are wondering if that hi-lift is really available now!

    2014 JKUR - What is that Buzzing in the Dash?

    Did you figure this out yet? I went down another rabbit hole as my noise comes and goes, probably randomly, but always with higher temperatures and acceleration. Some really deep forum reading pointed out that the metal heater lines coming in through the firewall can vibrate together. The...

    Looking for a custom aluminum box for trailer tongue

    The commercial truck toolbox people seem to have hundreds of options in various shapes and sizes. Have you done any catalog searches? Do you have a sketch of what you are thinking?

    TPMS? Battery life?

    So, multiple questions: I have a 2014 JKUR, it just turned 160,000 mostly fun miles today. I think new tires are in order, yet while examining some fault codes for a hopefully unrelated issue, I found B210A - system voltage low. I’m thinking this has something to do with the 5 sensor...

    What is the approximate thickness of the engine cradle? I suspect finding one shop to accomplish this will be relatively difficult, as most truck repair / parts swappers aren’t going to have the relationships needed with drafting specialists and machine shops that have higher power laser...

    How to add a weep/drain hole?

    My experience and suspicion tells me that you will never successfully keep water out of a tubular frame. I think that effort invested in the tube and trying to seal the frame are wasted. Better to drill big holes and know it can be washed out and painted occasionally. Currently owning a tube...

    How to add a weep/drain hole?

    I personally would drill the hole before welding the vertical on, but basically, yes, do what you described. Or: drill sideways at the bottom of the tube. And, set up the tube tube so that the outer sliding tube is up if possible…. But I would still use a weep hole.

    They don’t want to do the job. There is no secret sauce in brake linings and anyone who does this work is familiar with the general risks. I would guess you aren’t finding SDS because they typically only apply to materials / chemicals and not finished parts. Re-lining brakes seems to be rare...
