So so I just run some errands this morning no big deal. Get to an intersection where Iām turning left to merge onto the freeway. This intersection is notorious for people running the light turning the left going the opposite direction. I am on the surface street. Itās a long light. Theyāre...
Ok Q: should a battery disconnect switch be on the positive or neg side?
We used to do them on the positive leg in the marine power boat world, but I'm under the impression neg is more widely practiced?
Ok I need a CB for EJS.
I've used a handheld in the past and it worked, only so so. But I'm volunteering as a trail guide so I need real coms. I was hoping EJS would go GMRS this year but they are not SOOOO......
Thinking either a Midland 75-822...
Made it down for the weekend.
Did 3 trails Iāve not done before all rated 5s.
Backwards Bill, Jacks Traxs and Fins n Things.
in a lot of ways, each trail was different but each one was a lot of fun and challenging in its own way.
Sometimes I go to Moab and do trails and just donāt like them...

Lost a track bar bolt.
And the dealer doesnāt have any in stock. š
Good news is Iām in town and was two blocks from the dealer.
Iāll see if I can source parts when I get home.
What a pita.
So tried to install the AEV Diff skid and Cover today. The Factory sway bar doesn't play well with new friends.
It hits the skid and is real close to the cover.
Looks like I need spacers.
Metalcloak offers a spacer but I can't picture in my head if these are the right thing, there pictures...
So, and no I donāt know why I didnāt notice, I noticed my winch was not centered.
Hmmm weird. So I googled it up to see if maybe I was missing something.
Well lo and behold there are winches that are off set and need to be moved right some. So winch plate manufacturers provide holes for...
There wasnāt much out there couple ideas.
Here is what I did;
I ran the plug in down the diff vent line, to the rear side of the shock guard is molded for the tube, wiring harness tucked right in there then followed down to the diff.
I coiled up the excess and tucked it in next to the power...
Looking for a flat panel to replace the non-Rubicon cubby, any one have a lead?
Want to use it to mount switches on, and not interested in the $300+ Lazfit set ups.
Doing gears some time in the next few weeks, soon as the parts show up.
So lets talk Diff covers!
Basically since I'm (or the shop) will be there want to do everything related to the work at the same time.
Re-gearing, and going to add an E-Locker up front.
I do tow a bit and run a lot of...

Ok back when I got my spacers for my āliftā I read some folks recommended replacing the factory LCA with the slightly longer arms from the Mopar 2ā lift kit.
So I did. Trucks had those for 3 years and 22k miles. Driven and tracked great.
I opted for the AEV 2.5ā lift kit and they use the...
Shop called, edit Drag link, pitman arm is ānot goodā not bad per se, but they are doing other work and right there labor is a wash.
I do tow I do wheel.
Seems early for that to be ābadā. I have no symptoms of any issues at all. But for cost of just the part Iām figuring just have them do it.
