    How to raise the rear frame and eliminate your butt crack

    I could not get my tank up as high as I wanted without chopping the entire mount out. I would do both at the same time, move the tank up and do the rear outboards. The front hardware for my tank protruded into my outboard bracket. It was a lot easier to do it all at the same time, instead of...

    Air Compressor Recommendations For Shop

    What is your ultimate price range? An investment in a quality compressor will last you a lifetime. Depending on the tools you are planning on running, a small compressor will have a much shorter life span trying to keep up with high demand tools. As mentioned above, buy once cry once...

    Bead Buster

    I also have the XB-550i HD and a set of tire spoons. I tried to be cheap and initially bought the XB-450i. I quickly found it does not have a long enough "throw" and large enough footprint to make tire changes easy on big tires. The XB-550i HD is worth the money, and does a much better job...

    Baseline 4x4

    I had the same thing happen with DaveysJeeps on eBay. I ordered a set of 22 various colored fender bolts. The auction read “22 BOLTS MISCELLANEOUS COLORS” and showed a picture of 22 bolts that were various colors, including 7 Flame Red bolts. What showed up was a bunch of different various...

    I'll let you guys know for sure. I figured it would be the cat's ass on something where balance could frequently change (mud on the tire, chunks out of the tread, gouges out of the beadlock ring). Maybe I am expecting too much? I ran SX Swampers in both 33x15.50 and 36x12.50 on my '69 Bronco...

    Seems like there are a lot of varied opinions on running beads. I am getting ready to pull mine back out and just static balance my current set of tires. I have not been thoroughly impressed and the balance has never been great. I started with around 8 oz, went to 12oz, and stopped at 16oz...
