    Peters Mill is a Jeep Badge trail near Edinburg VA. In the nat'l forest. Very easy, I run it with new members of our club in 2wd. Lots of places to camp in the area. Check out the forest service website for more info. https://www.fs.usda.gov/gwj
  2. Planning a Moab trip, Spring 2023

    I'll be running Hells on that Saturday. Snazberry JT, VA tag "NO LEFT". I'll look for ya.
  3. Tell me about tie rods

    I'll add my support for tire pressure. Im on 3.5" Clayton, 37" Milestars. Usually run 28-30 psi. First time ever last week I took it out after sitting in cold garage a week. Hit a small ripple in pavement at 40, started shaking, was able to control it. Happened again later on way home. I balance...
  4. Correct lift points for a 2 post car lift

    When I used to have to compute front to rear CG for vehicles being loaded into aircraft, we used a simple formula. Since another poster already gave you vehicle total weight and weight on each axle, its pretty straightforward math. This will give a start point to then place arms. This is an...
  5. BlackFriday + CyberMonday deals thread

    My fingers are crossed for SwitchPros to drop a deal on switches.
  6. Rolled Jeep today, but everyone is safe! Repair or total loss?

    I agree the engine may be the determining factor but air bag deployment also figures bigly. Lots of insurers will total due to high cost of bag replacement.

  8. Clayton 3.5” lift have a rake?

    Its going to have the same rake as stock. I added a 1 inch front spacer, leveled out. Been wheeled hard for a year and its still level.
  9. 37” tire that is really 37”?

    My Patagonia 37s measure 37. Period. Weight on the tire, 30 PSI. Won't fit in spare well which is 36.6" even at 0 PSI. The D rated sidewall is too stiff to flex between the rails. I can only imagine the 38 Pats mentioned earlier are probably damn near 38" on the truck.
  10. Strapping axles for transport

    Yep. After it was mentioned I searched out an answer and found Macs straps has lined wheel straps like that. Problem solved.
  11. Let's see your favorite trail photos!

    Not the most exciting but first trip after installing my @claytonoffroad lift.
  12. Strapping axles for transport

    Interesting you mentioned that, I saw someone talking about a strap that passes through the wheel, then connects to the ratchet. May have to investigate.
  13. Strapping axles for transport

    Yes, that's what I use, connected to snap hook ratchets. Problem is there's nowhere on front axle, especially passenger side, to avoid grabbing steering stabilizer or running into tie rod.
  14. Strapping axles for transport

    I strap at the axle to AVOID compressing the springs. Makes for a strap that stays tight.
  15. Strapping axles for transport

    I have a 35 ft flatbed gooseneck for transporting two Jeeps when I go more than 600-700 miles away to wheel, haven't loaded the JT yet but have looked at issues with straps on axles. I use a double-loop ended strap around the axles connected to heavy ratchets pulling straight forward and...
  16. Hurricane I6 CRATE MOTOR announced

    Hoping someone comes up with a standalone ECU for this engine and trans. I have a '70 Commando that would welcome a new heartbeat.
  17. Planning a Moab trip, Spring 2023

    Several of the parks, Arches etc, require reserved time slots. Not sure if required in April though, check nps dot gov to be sure. https://www.nps.gov/arch/planyourvisit/timed-entry-reservation.htm Wheeling on lands around Moab do require a permit, I believe its still $30 for a year. They do...
  18. 4.88 or 5.13 rpm at 70

    To that end, I'm running 4.88 with true 37s. At 70 I'm just a tick over 2000 rpm.
  19. Are the mini-fuses ATM?

    Searching keeps bringing up results for Mopar fuses but I have loads of Bus brand ATM fuses. Want to make sure they're suitable replacements for the mini bayonet fuses in the Gladiator.
