I got bitten by the orange bug for my Mojave. I want to paint the winch hook, etc., the correct orange. I found a hundred of them (who would have guessed?)--Kubota orange, Husqvarna orange, Chevy orange, pumpkin orange, and so on. I bought two at Lowe's and the cap (assuming it is close to...
My Sport S has the plastic front bumper with fairings to the fenders. I like the gas mileage, but on past jeeps have watched the mpg go steadily down with each mod. Why doesn't anyone make a winch-capable bumper that mimics the factory aerodynamics, instead of exposing the entire tire...
My soft top was very noisy, with the front panel vibrating from the wind plus speed (75 mph) about 6-8 months ago on a trip. It is usually quiet with little wind noise, but has been giving more wind whistle on the highway lately. On a recent trip, the noise, drumming, vibration at 70+ mph got...
With 3000 miles on my JT, the driver's side sun visor pivot came out of the boss in the panel that bolts to the header. After removing the panel (two sheet metal screws, T25), I could see that there was a plastic ring broken off, which would normally keep the sun visor "rod" in place. The rod...
My Sport S Gladiator now wears Falken AT3W "pizza cutters" in 255-80-17E which is an improvement over the stock Bridgestone AT (admit it, they do look better even though "only" 33.1" and not the forum standard of 35 at a minimum, and 37+ to get any approval). I like the Sport S wheels, even...
The Sport S Max Tow comes with Bridgestone AT tires. Are they any good off road, traction, resistance to the smaller rocks common on western trails? I expect the Falken AT3W that I have are better; they weigh about 15 lb. more (E rated bs. SL for the Bridgestone) but I have 9 of the AT's to...
I bought the Tyger hard, 3-piece folding tonneau cover from Amazon and it arrived with two plastic end caps cracked, although it seemed to be well packaged. I did not want to deal with an Amazon return of the 64 lb. bulky item, and was only mildly upset by the broken parts. I contacted Tyger...
Motobilt covers are very strong, quarter inch plate press-bent and welded inside and out, with a 3/8 inch thick mounting ring. Installed mine today. Perfect fit, and good clearance to track bars, steering tie rod, rear sway bar. Not only are they very reasonably priced, especially for the...
Ram owners learned that occasionally the cable spare tire winch and retainer could break, letting the tire go free to damage their trailer, etc. It is a good idea to run a chain over the frame near the winch, through two holes in the wheel, and held closed with a bolt and nut. You can add a...
Yesterday I replaced the front resonator with a piece of 2.5" pipe, expanded at each end (to 2.58" ID) to slip over the curved pipe at the front and straight pipe behind the resonator, after cutting off the resonator close to its body. Sound is virtually the same, but I removed that low hanging...
