As some as you know I lost my buddy Breacher awhile back. He was a handsome 100 lb pitbull. I really wasn't sure if I would get another dog but a friend told me they would find me. I had looked as shelters and online and was on my way to look at some pits when a woman called me and said if...

Thanks a lot calling Oreills now

There may be something already on here on this topic but if not here is a neat fix I found to an issue in changing the transfer case fluid. The drain plug is a simple 10mm allen wrench, no problems there. However the fill plug, on mine at least, is not round nor is it an allen head. I was...

Tranny has not been removed

Hmm well the part sticking down is only about a foot long. No way it will reach into the engine bay

Ok after running around today I noticed a tube hanging out from under the Jeep. After looking at sit some are dating it is a vacuum line to the transfer case others are saying it is a breather tube for the tranny. It has a small metal bracket so it came loose from somewhere. Any ideas?

Thanks to all of you for the kind words. I have visited the local animal shelter several times over the last few days and may have found a new partner. I have decided not to rush into anything he still has to be cat tested as I have a 13 year old house cat that was here first.

Well guys it has been a rough few days. I have been rescuing pit bulls for years and finally had found forever homes for all but one. Breacher was a 100 pounds of pure joy. Always happy, always smiling and he loved to ride. About a week ago the left side of his face swelled and guessing he...

Yep never fails I drop a bolt somewhere. I am going to add a magnetized bowl to it also

Well while working on the Jeep the other day I dropped a tool into the engine bay, knocked two bolts off of the fender and just had a hard time finding enough space to work off of so I came up with an idea. My friends machine shop is next door and he has an endless supply of scrap which...

Well I have heard good and bad. The little 400 watt I am using now keeps my radio battery charged and the battery for my cordless drill up and running. I am not planning on a game console or microwave however I do want to have either a cordless chainsaw or a corded one. I used the volts x amps...

That is one heck of a system, but beyond my mechanical/electrical ability so I went with a simple 10 lb CO2 set up with a 150 regulator mounted behind the seat.

I to wanted to go with at least a 3000 watt inverter. My plan is to add a separate battery with a solar panel to keep it topped off. I want to upgrade to a Dodge high output alternator when I can find one.

This is my 97 TJ. This is pretty much where I started and here is where I am today. Slowly but surely getting it the way I want it. I made a fold out tailgate table for the tailgate and there is a second larger table under the storage box which slides out. The large green box is my camp...

Champion is also sold by Atwood's Farm Equipment Stores. I had an older Champion 8000 lb that worked fine. Sold it and upgraded to a 12,000 lb Badlands. The old winch is still running strong.
