    CV Axle Suggestion

    Lol, sorry guys, but what about just jacking the truck a little bit, keep the weight on the wheel and lossen the nut, then take it all up. Just brake the wheel also wile at it before lifting the truck. Do that on all my vehicule and it just work great. CVs or u-joint. My 2 cents.

    CV Axle Suggestion

    If it just the grease that is gone because of the rubber boots, juste change the boot. Will cost you about 20$ plus your time, or a 24 case of beer to a freind. Can be done in a drice way without to much tools.

    Hi-Lift Jack in a receiver hitch ???

    The only real problem by doing so, is a stability isue. A Highlift is a great tool, but you must have a way to lift a load that is stable. Keep at least a wide tripod like stanse. From a hitch receiver, the shape is to narrow, ans the load can tunr around the front or rear wheels. Lift it in...

    Need Snorkle that works with WildBoar Rack

    Unfortunatly, I have never see an intergated slolution to install both a snorkel and a roof rack on a wrangler. Hopefully, this will change. On my 95 wrangler, I had to modify my Olympic roof rack bracket and rack front tube so I could fit the ARB snorkle. I guess that It would have to comme...

    Canadian military trailers

    From what was research from a guy on a canadian forum, they went for 330$ can to 750$ can. About the fact that they wnated people comming to pick them up with trailer or transport, I think it is more for the liability issues. Meanning that they mention that they did not allowed people to bring...

    Secure Rack or Holder for 20 lb LP Bottle

    I have not really look at those, but if you look at what camper are using and are able to copy or improve over the set-up, I don't think that theire should be any problems. I is probably safer that a 20lbs tank barely attached in a truck bed. My 2 cents.

    roof top tent on a soft top

    Well, Here is some food for thought. Mounting a rack to the rear bumper is in deed a good base point. Like a foundation on a house. But to reach de top of the jeep, the vertical bars need to be very long. Witch create a lot of leverage ending up with a lot of movement when you reach the top...

    Is this the right locker for me?

    One afordable option is a detroit truetrack. It is not a locker, it is a geared limited slip. You will never feel any bangs, it will work great on snow or ice, it will even be fun to drive in those condition and it will give you about 60% traction when you need it. And because there it is not...

    Need a rack system for a 17 foot canoe.

    I think taht with the carpet or the abs pipe over 1 of the bar should do the thing. I have hully roller rear combo with sadle front for my kayaks, but I kind of need something like taht because of the shape of the hull and top, plus the rack on my YJ is more that7" high. If it wasn't for that...
