I have the diesel, so they put the second batt in the bed Screw that, i dont want to lose bed space. Im putting the air comp/tank under the bed, so no more room for a battery
Back to the batteries...i know the aux batt wont drive a winch, pretty much a no brainer. What i was wondering was if a larger battery could fit in the space of that little motorcycle batt. Fab a tray that will take the larger size, put it where the baby batt used to be. i have not torn into to...
Tell more about the aux batt removal. Did you leave that space empty? Or add a different batt ? i want to put a small deep cycle in there, connect to an inverter and isolator and drive the winch and 120v outlet
Ive never owned a smaller truck, and ive been happy that it goes in the snow like a bandit. Sometimes just 2wd until i gotta pull it into 4H. But its saved us here on the ridge, its the only thing i could get off the mtn road with, except for the 4wd Kubota. So theres that
Used my 5000 lb gladiator to drag my 9000 lb F450 up out of some deep snow. The 4Fitty has 4wd but couldnt get up the grade, just spin. Tow strap to gladiator rear hook and 450 front tow loop, Jeep in 4Lo and yanked it right out. Jeep was on ice and snow, didnt care, made it happen. I was...
Can someone explain the silicone add resolution, or the "rope" gasket material. I noticed a small drop of water on the sill inside the window area. Screw the dealer fixes, i want to just fix it myself
We got blasted Monday, snowed for 36 hrs and set records here in East TN. I had 10" as measured on the top of a flat trash can lid. Took couple hours to get it cleared and plowed out.
Adjust the stops on the steering knuckles then have someone hold in full turn, and look for areas of interference. A lot of times its the control arm. Move the stop out a 1/4 or so and recheck
Put on Nitto Trail Grapplers, 35's, and they are great. Low noise, smooth ride, im liking them. The only prob is zeroing in the speedo. GPS says 75 and the speed shows 81. So i change the tire size to a higher profile, right? Im close but want it as close as i can get it
measure hole in sleeve. go to box store and get a grade 5 or better nolt of that diameter (or close as possible) and at least 1.250" wider than the bushing end. Doesnt have to be metric. Get a matching nylok nut to match, youre done. Cost under $5. The reasonthere is a square fqctory bolt is...
Does your trailer have torsion axles? Thats what this GeoPro has, with some AT tires, and slight lift. We are gonna camp all the way out and back. Figured two weeks should give us a good taste. Any good stops or favorites places you may have found, send me a PM
Nice set up, thats almost exactly what i have in mind! AND i have a red Willys. Im looking at a Geo Pro 19fbs, dry weight around 3200, figure w water and gear prob in the 3700 range. So you have had no issues w pulling? im headed to Moab, Yellowstone/Tetons, Grand Canyon, etc. Big loop back to...
Thanks for the tips. Never thought about the off road w the WDH. If i take the bars off and remove the sway control it ahould act like a normal hitch. Im not planning on hardcore woods running w this trailer. Dirt roads, fireline passages etc, just to get away for a day or two. If the bags are...
Great advice Labswine. I have pulled many trailers, some of my equipment is in the 20k range, plus my 38' Grand Design Momentum toy hauler. This is my first small/medium sized truck and i need want to keep it in its comfort zone and reliable when me and the mrs head out across the tundra. Im...
Im heading out late May for two weeks. Folks on here from that area say roads may be closed until around that time. I may do a Yosemite or Tetons on the trip
Yes, i have the brake controller, and the tow package. Need to get a light weight dist hitch set up and prob weld on tabs for a single sway control, dont think this light of a trailer would need two. I have been looking at the airbags, will the WD hitch not perform this function somewhat? But i...
Thanks for all the good comments thus far. I have pulled many trailers w my other larger trucks, just not too sure w this Jeep small truck. I pulled a 8x12 closed with a Harley in it from Fla to Tn and the JT seemed to struggle slightly, had a hard time getting into 8th gear, and used a butt...
'22 Willys diesel, auto. I have 35's and Mopar 2" kit. Getting ready to install 4.10's which should return the rpm to the basic original ratio spread. Im looking at a E-Pro 15tb trailer for boondocking occasionally. Trailer is 2800 lbs dry, figure w water, propane, clothes and food, will be in...
