The wife’s around town sled, she loves it, I hate it…a tough pull but been married to her for 50 years in May, it’s that turn the cheek thing. 😁

Absolutely Not. A real dealer takes pictures and documents the areas of the issues, then submits it to Jeep Corporate for approval. The only waiting involves the parts to be ordered and shipped to the dealer once it’s approved, and how booked their paint shop is. They are jerking you around...

Gouging is an ugly word but geez come on.

I hear you on the out of space thing…one thing that really helped that was “Casters” on everything! It can’t come in if it does have them. Also looking at building my own plasma table as well, with casters (haha). Full X, Y computer driven. I‘m designing a 4’x4’ size that folds in the middle...

NP, Those pieces of 1/2” took all the flex out, I did them in 6” lengths so I could move them around and stack and stagger them for the job at hand.

Those snakes wanted $350.00 for those two pieces, that’s they day I started building the break.

The 20 ton is bigger and better suited for my needs, but I also spent some time on it to improve some things…casters, a hand winch to move the press table up and down, added some 1/2” plate on top of the press plate for added strength and no flexing, a movable table below the plate to hold most...

it’s first duty was bending 10 gauge aluminum diamond plate wear treads for the jetboat

SWAG off road has a finger break for the multiple bends, it comes in a kit as well. I’ve got the 20 ton HF press, I can do 16” width. I also bought an air over hydraulic 20 ton jack for it…that was HF, it takes most of the work out of the bending and it’s fast. I’ve done 5/8” mild steel with...

Yep…I built this one, it’s a 48”, I use it a lot more than I thought I would.

There you go…by a Amazon plasma cutter, a good straight edge, you‘ve got the bucket on your tractor for the long bending force, you‘ll need a SWAG off road press break for your shop press (buy the kit, it’s an easy weld) for the short bends, with theses items and some time, you‘ll be set to make...

The theory would be, the bigger the tire dia/width/MT vs street stockies, and terrain bolder bashing it’s going to heat up similar to a wheel shock does, can’t say it will foam the fluid inside, but I’ll take more fluid every time. I run the falcon pass through shaft, spendy but I love the...

Ditto, my news ones are hanging on the garage wall for a year and a half, drives perfect without them. Less is more.

Put those 6 bills to better use, Gorilla glass is not worth that much more or even half that much more.

Nothing better than a good piece of cardboard for doll cutting!

a nice piece of 3/16” steel formed and attached on top of the new patch panels also might be a good investment as well, Metal Cloak, Fishbone just to name a few have good looking ones, zirtnuts install. I’ve helped a friend install a set on his JT, they look good and will help keep those pesky...

That is GREAT news!!!!

It will be interesting to see how they repair that with the pinch seam that close…I don’t want you freaking out but it may need a new tub, the body guys can do some really creative pulls these days. Is your RSE bent where it meets the body sheet metal at the footwell of the doors? Have you put...

Hit both ends of the crack with a small triangle file, inside and outside of the windshield, angle both of your small file scratches towards the bottom of the windshield, it should run both ends to the bottom rubber seal. Not too deep on the scratches. This will keep it out of your vision path...

I’ve got one of those stretchy yank‘em rope that I’ve gotten aggressive with on a 45 degree recovery a couple of times (playing in the mud)figured if it was going to jump off it would be during that event, nope, it stayed right where it was supposed to stay. i think your idea is sound. I just...
