Procedure described under the OM title "Disable Nanny State".

Waiting for some one else to guinea pig up and actually hammer one for a month or so.

I have swapped out the stock halogen white for a yellow bulb, halogen. The difference was, well, night and day. Street signage really pops now, fantastically awesome in fog and rain. Keeps the halogen reflector for proper beam pattern AND a lot of folks pull over to let me pass. I suppose they...

One summer I ran the YJ open with just the top, no doors, side or rear windows. Quite a few lizards were able to hitch a ride to the next stop. I buttoned up after that. Last week, a rat snake zapped a bunny in the front yard. (we Live in the burbs). Found bobcat tracks as well in the back yard...

It requires very specific tooling to form aluminium. Easier to buy a new one and recycle the old with the cans. My 74 Norton connecting rods, head, engine and tranny cases are made from recycled Dural from WW2 aircraft. Waste not, want not.

July 3rd I ordered 2 Saiga mags. Arrived this AM via Priority Mail from Florida. Confirmation said Thursday via regular mail. No Covid issues with the supplier or USPS. I suspect a lot more firearm accessory orders than Jeep parts these days.

All fun and games until some one gets hurt. The rim width requirements should not be ignored.

Most issues with balance can be solved with proper alignment of the balance dots. That being said and knowing the motorcycle tire side well, you get what you pay for.

Maybe in the grandkids lifetime.

divide the metric measurement by 25.4 to get the inch equivalent. The second number after the slash is aspect ratio. /70 means the tire height is 70% of the tread width-taller than a /60. 315mm/25.4=12.4inches tread width. 70% of 315=220.5mm from bead to tread surface. 220.5mm/25.4=8.7inches...

Your tires are tubeless. The bead must seat squarely in the rim bead area. An incorrect match will cause the tire to be "pinched", leading to the bead rolling out of the channel and over the rim. Take a turn too sharply while braking and enjoy the show. That is why aired down tires use rim...

Thanks for the info, MSG. My choice was for the Sport S but the Mojave is awfully tempting. I would definitely prefer it over the Rube because the Mojave does not come with a front locker. The first upgrade for me would be adding an Eaton Posi in the front and ditching the locker rear for the...

Nice looking JT. Could you take some close-ups of the hood venting? Is it show or go?

Past experience working in shops does not make for restful sleep. I have seen the shortcuts and inept dropouts at work. The Flat Rate scam is just that. So my question is "How do you folks verify the work was done correctly even at the dealership?" When my YJ needed a new trash lock, I went to a...

Perhaps the Sport comes without a radio so you pay for the option and upgrade. I have noticed some weird add/delete shenanigans when building a Sport S on the site.

As an Adjunct Instructor, I have noted a complete lack of critical thinking skills and mental awareness at the college level of instruction. Most can parrot back facts and figures but cannot explain a simple, logical process. Sad fact of modern society-the phone is smarter than the operator.

"It is almost 3x the size of my wives " Not sure how many you have but I have found that one at a time is way more than enough.

Did the Allen screw ever "bottom out" and then did you back off a flat or two? The locking nut was tightened with the wrench while keeping the screw stationary if I interpret this correctly.

Were the tire and wheel balance dots aligned correctly? My experience has been most tire installers do not care. Vehicle in, slap on the new and out the door.

Personally, neither one precisely because they do have lockers. When not locked, the diffs are open, one wheel drive traction killers. (Wet, slush, sand on paved roads where most driving occurs.) I would go for the Mojave for the stronger frame and suspension if your choices were the only ones...
