Is that rock or mud you are hung up on? If it is mud you could have dug yourself out. About an hour and a half of digging in the heat and mosquitoes. Do that once and a winch seems like a great idea.
Using the Winch. The first time I tried to winch the truck it made me think I was losing my mind. I knew I'd shifted into Neutral. The first five times. Turns out the truck was gaslighting me. ? Makes winching harder when you are dragging the truck with its transmission locked in Park. And...
Stock bumper weighs about 40 pounds?
Aluminum Full width Quadratec Brute Strength bumper set up for a winch weighs 71 pounds.
Sherpa 9500 pound capacity winch with synthetic rope weighs 42 pounds.
So you're adding about 75 pounds to the front. Given the weight of the truck I don't see that...
Hard to say. I think without a winch you will have to make better decisions. If you adventure alone I think a winch is more important than if you have another truck along.
If you don't have a winch a snatch strap, traction boards and a shovel are needed. Pay heed to the shovel part. If you...
Yep. First thing I did after adjusting my headlights is lose the allen wrench. I'd like to adjust the lights a little more. But I'm not going back out to the field I adjusted them in with a metal detector to find the wrench.
So what size Allen wrench?
Definitely not at low speed or at idle.
At high speed? I'm not a fluid dynamicist but I'm guessing that Jeep engine is not marginally cooled. I'm guessing the Jeep engineers anticipated Jeep owners doing weird stuff. It looks like the rope/bull bar could cause a low pressure area ahead of...
I figure that if you drill through a Freedom Panel at worst it's a $650 mistake. You can always get another one. Now $650 is nothing to sneeze at but at least you have a cap on your damages.
There was a thread on here about a year back that I can't find that had all sorts of suggestions. I think one of them was something like this:

I'll keep looking for the thread.
Came here to say this. If you are towing overweight and cause an accident you could be criminally liable not just civilly liable. In that case it is not an "accident" if you knowingly chose to break a law and someone was injured.
I'm not an attorney so that is not official legal advice. But...
I already made my decision. I purchased the unheated Oracle headlights which I have seen virtually only good reviews on. I wanted a pleasant experience which I expect I will have given all the reviews I've read about your unheated headlights.
For those rare times I will be driving in...
Did they ever solve the problem of the heating strip turning brown or burning up? I like the idea of heated headlights because I live near the Sierra Nevada range and travel over the passes. I searched the forum but couldn't find a clear answer.
Thanks.
