It is a well known fact, supported by a plethora of anecdotes, that the Federal Government has long hated the Louisiana Vegan Monks, thus their fear of computer chip assasination. On the bright side, with that fundraiser receipt, and a VERY high tolerance for IRS risk (computer chip...

Check the actual battery voltage. Do you have a multimeter? Even a cheap one will be sufficient for 90+ percent of what you will do in basic 12v wiring and troubleshooting.

No worries then. Everyone learns somewhere. If you didn’t install the winch, there are a few things to check out when you start tracing wires in the daylight. check the sizing of the main cables to the winch. Often they are small for the amp draw and could cause issues. Check that the...

This isn’t intended to be condescending, but the way you asked that question makes me think you might not understand that the winch is using your car battery. It isn’t “like” a car battery, it actually “is” your car battery powering the winch. As a general rule, don’t winch without the vehicle...

If you are spending that kind of money for shipping, a plane ticket to visit one of the expos or a few common places to see RTT looks really cheap vs making the wrong decision the first time. I recall being surprised at how many tents I saw in Maui, maybe that is the new secret destination to...

I’ve generally had good luck seeing tents in person in campgrounds, large gatherings, or by posting for specific models and asking if someone is willing to show theirs off. East Coast ofCanada? Good luck. I would imagine it is difficult to find stock supplies of many items there. At least you...

So, has anyone used the peerless “auto tensioning” cable things? I’ve been thinking about upgrading my chains, and hate the bungee style tensioners. I was about to order a set of old-school cam tensioned chains and came across these others. Real world experience?

My immediate thought was to re-purpose a litter or rescue basket, but they are so pricey that buying one custom might make more sense. A simple basket is pretty easy to make with the right tools. Can you weld? Find someone with a tubing bender and a drill press and you can knock out basket...

I’ve carried gasoline in wavian steel cans both inside and out of my Jeep, from below sea level to over 10k feet and temperatures from well below freezing to well over 120F. I’ve never had a leak. I’ve never smelled anything. I have replaced the gaskets every few years, they are about $1 each...

I usually carry 40-50 gallons of water but I tend to go into the desert with 3-4 people, so a long term breakdown could be life threatening without a few days of water. Carrying 30 gallons of heating and cooking fuel seems excessive to me, mostly because it isn’t also vehicle fuel, but if you...

I live in a city and have been rear-ended 4 times in 7 years. I’m a huge fan of aftermarket rear bumpers and trailer hitches!

I wouldn’t trust any screws that short not to rattle / back out of plywood. You can put some sort of glue on them to reduce the chances, but without through-bolting I’m guessing you don’t get 2 years before loosening is an issue. That being said, if you insist, I would use something like a...

Start by getting a vacuum gauge and a small hand pump like a mity-vac or similar. You can spend a lot of money guessing and throwing parts that are better spent diagnosing. Most people would call the items you are referring to switches, or valves. If they are electrically activated they would...

There is another thread on this a few months ago. IIRC A source is identified but they are $$ and heavy. Have you run a search?

Did you adjust your driveshaft length when lifting? If your slip yoke is pulled too far out for solid engagement you could have wear or wobble there causing an noticeable vibration as well. Same goes for a mid-shaft slip joint, although as stated above, your is likely a slip yoke.

Congratulations. I have no specific suggestions, but remember that Jeep is an acronym for Just Empty Each Pocket. This is more true if you don’t do your own work.

An air compressor is a LOT of power draw for that dash outlet. Maybe 3-6x the rating. I would look for burned wires too, but a careful check of the fuses might still be warranted. You say they “look good”. Does that mean you tested them? Did you look for a fuse in the compressor cord too...

How narrow/long are your limits?

What is your reason for selling if mounted but never used? Free Bump.

Paint thinner or brake cleaner is your friend for that ID plate.
