Try Dawn. Specifically that brand. I run a industrial coatings plant, and when all else fails, Dawn is your best bet without knowing the specific coating on the wheel. Lather it up real nice and let it sit for fifteen minutes, then rinse it off and wash again. Another thing you can attempt...

I have had my LE for a couple months now. The guy across the street comes over every time I am doing a mod and quizes me. Last week, he pulled up with a Max Tow that was "as close as I could get" to mine. Last night he told me he regrets it, because it just made him realize how ugly the non...

We had to drill new holes in to the pan. Also to grind down the side mounting brackets in order get a little more space, and swapped which face we mounted it on. Also, on the "tray", we had to grind down quite a bit of the front lip/corners. It was the only way to get it squared up, and is...

donyou happen to have a link or part number? All I can find is the winch plate kit, which I have. For the life of me, I can’t seem to find the face plate.

@rickrogan @JeepRealtor did either of you come across a faceplate for the steel bumper, to put between the bumper and the fairlead? I’m not real crazy about the extra couple holes I have around the cut out for the rope... also, for anyone else, I needed to HEAVILY modify this winch plate to...

I'd check out your local machine shops. I was mentioning to a buddy my sticker shock at the offroad trailers. He put me in touch with a quality shop he uses. We are now in the midst of building a custom kayak hauler/kitchen/storage trailer, complete with Rubi-take off rims and wheels, hot...

Yeah, I would have loved to trial a couple different types of RTTs, fridges, etc before making my purchase. Great idea.

Its not just the weight of the vehicle. If you are in mud, it would be the suction of the mud too. If you tried a river crossing, and are fighting current, add that in. The general rule of thumb is 2x the GVWR of the vehicle, so a gladiator around ~5800lbs.

Spiderwebshade has a screen/mesh. They are extremely durable and have lots of color options. Does great for buffering the wind a touch and blocking sun. Will let rain in though. Best Top has a freedom top replacement that just fold over. Quite a few people swear by it, but I think the price is...

There isn't a standard foot print for bumpers, winch, or winch plate, either. Once you have have found a winch and bumper combo you like, I'd dig in here to see what the best winch plate is. I personally went with the Smittybilt XRC and my stock steel bumper. It has been an absolute battle...

It's a smittybilt XRC gen 3 12.5k winch and the mopar plate. Both are "Centered drum", although the passenger side housing of the winch is about an inch longer. This picture makes it look worse, because the control box of the winch was preventing things from linine up. I ultimately just took...

Bump

Will I run in to any problems if my winch drum is not entirely lined up with the rope cutout of the winch plate? This is my first winch install, and I am using the Mopar winch plate kit, with the smittybilt XRC gen 3. To say that it has been a battle would be an understatement. I’m finally...

Thanks. I'm planning on laying everything out after work tonight, so it'll be as planned as possible in the AM.

I have the Mopar Winch Plate & a Smittybilt gen 3 winch, installing on to the Rubicon Steel Bumper. How long should I plan for the install? Supposed to have storms off and on all weekend, but I am really wanting to get it on. Unfortunately, the garage is full right now, so I need to work...

Is there a way to disable the 2x limit on remote starts, before a hard start is required? What about extending the duration? Perhaps with a Tazer or something like that? the reason I ask is for cold-weather camping. I think rigging a duct to my RTT and just kicking on the engine for a few...

No radio the entire time, and the fuse was pulled from the harness until right before I tested everything. I probably cycled each side 6 or 7 times, and I have the LED package with the steps, but I can’t imagine that’d be enough to drain the ESS. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting, but it...

I just completed the Rock Slide Engineering install. Everything works as advertised, but when I went to start the truck, it wouldn’t start. The main battery seems to have plenty of juice. The radio works, steps work, but I am getting a check engine light and sway bar disengage not working...
