  1. Looking at getting an impact wrench

    Bottom left. Ridgid. Not Rigid. There seems to be 2 tiers to their tools. There are the general purpose cordless tools sold at Home Depot. Then there are their pro level pro-press and pex tools as well as their US made pipe threading tools. I may be wrong about the break down, but there...
  2. Looking at getting an impact wrench

    I was told that the original hole hog was so short so that it could fit into joist pockets sideways. So it wasn't more than 14.5 in long. That seems pretty stupid. But the new dewalts are the same way. I don't get it. The one i have is the bomb. You can turn a 2" paddle bit with no risk of...
  3. Why do Chrysler Dealerships hate Jeeps?

    I agree. I wouldn't expect them to cover the steering box, death wobble. The rear axle, visor, and heat issue should have been covered.
  4. Looking at getting an impact wrench

    The first injury I ever sustained that left me with a permanent (though very minor) problem was around age 18. I was in a crawl space in a less then excellent position when the hole hog i was using bound up and spun my knuckle hard into a joist. A few years later when I was renovating my...
  5. MOJAVE Edition Gladiator JT Club

    Keep your eyes open on the [Banned Site] forum. That's where I found these. The 392 XR wheels are bronze and are even sexier IMHO.
  6. Looking at getting an impact wrench

    I have a friend who reliably and humanely takes deer with a .22. Head shots only at about 50 ft with the rifle rested and a 6x scope. CCI Velocitors. He's got an apple tree in his yard and the deer really like that tree. Ha.
  7. Looking at getting an impact wrench

    Oh, believe me, I realize that. I've been a Japanese made Makita tool whore since the '80s. Starting with the worlds first mass produced cordless drill. They also made a kick ass worm drive that put the Skill to shame. Ha. It took a lot to get me to consider DeWalt (Its just an overpriced...
  8. Looking at getting an impact wrench

    I was a DeWalt user all through the 90s until about 2012. By 2010 I had renovated 2 homes and sold them both. I had just bought a new construction home and my needs were pretty much zero as far as tools. About then my DeWalt batteries started to crap out. I had 4 batteries and to replace...
  9. Massachusetts CT and NH - One (1) Extreme Recon (XR) Mounted Wheel and Tire - WILL SEPARATE.

    Bump - make me an offer. I checked with my standard accounts at Fed-Ex and UPS, its $250 to ship. If you have a business account with either of these shippers it can be less than half of that. There is a dealer on JLWrangler selling these take offs and he is charging $120 ea to ship. But I...
  10. Georgia WTT: (5) 392 XR Bronze Wheels w/ Factory 35" KO2's

    Too bad you are in GA. I've got a set of 5 graphite wheel/tires with about the same miles and would be happy to trade provided yours are in similar condition. I'm in MA.
  11. RSI Smartcap

    Is it like you can't get the nut to catch on the threads of the bolt? I had that happen to me on several of them. I really just needed to jiggle and cajole everything a bit until the bolts caught. Once all were caught I tightened them down in the pattern shown in teh instructions. If you...
  12. Excessive/high-pitched whining with 4H Auto on (5.13 gears)

    I think you are over-thinking the break in importance. Sure it's beneficial overall. But it's not going to self destruct if you break it in incorrectly in all but the most extreme situations. In this case, we're not talking about a lot of torque being put through the differential since its...
  13. 37” tire that is really 37”?

    Your statement was a bit vague, so my only solace is that I forced you to clarify your point so that others didn't make the same incorrect assumption that I made. Ha. Otherwise, you are 100% right. I was 100% wrong in my assumption that you meant exactly 37 when you said "closer to the right...
  14. Excessive/high-pitched whining with 4H Auto on (5.13 gears)

    To those who really understand the inner functions of AlfaOBD or JScan, is there a parameter you can monitor that will tell if the front is being brought into play in 4H auto? I assume its a clutch pack that brings the FWD into play.
  15. Excessive/high-pitched whining with 4H Auto on (5.13 gears)

    I can't really comment intelligently on the load paths that the gears in the front diff experience when "coasting" in 4H auto. But I can tell you that the Front Axle Disconnect (FAD) connects in 4H Auto. So something IS different in 4H auto. But then again, the fact that you get more whine...
  16. How much off MSRP did you guys get?

    I got 7% off invoice with Gupton last september on a 2022, when everything was red hot. It ended up being about 10% off MSRP, if I remember correctly. I'm told you can do a good bit better now. like 8%+ and 0% for 72 months. That 0% is worth $5000 itself. I sooth myself on this by reminding...
  17. ultimate 35-37" that you can stud?

    I just got a set of Nokians, but I ordered them a month ago. But with that said, last year I couldn't get them after I bought my Jeep in January. I used the stock Falken Wildpeak ATs and was actually REALLY impressed with how they did in the snow. They do have a lot of sipes. You should be...
  18. 37” tire that is really 37”?

    That's fine. But in my citation of you above, you said that getting a tire closer to actual 37 will help the transmission function. That is simply wrong. Which you seem to be acknowledging here. So thanks. I agree with you that the test you describe above will work great. You are...
  19. Leaking after window replacement

    If you want the dealer to fix it, remove the CB wire and put in a fresh grommet.
