One does not buy TSL swampers because they're quiet, haha

Yes

I'm not sure if the outer lugs touch even with them at 5psi. I run mine ~24-28ish. I think I have about 5-7k on mine with minimal wear too. They were supriseingly quiet to start, but got super loud once they started to wear/cup. I would try to rotate them ever 1k or every wheeling trip.

Depends on how much and what you're doing. Holding the trans to swap the mount/skid plate? Cheap twist jack and a block of wood. Pulling/swaping trans more than once? Fancy transmission jack.

My subaru's had the same ground clearance as a stock TJ... And 2in of lift actually gave 2in more clearance, unlike a solid axle vehicle.:p

Mud/aggressive all terains will dig you out of the ditch. A propper snow/ice tire will help keep you on the road. They are a softer compound and have more sipes to grab the hardpack stuff on the bottom

The usefullness of the hobofreight winches is they're cheap and work most of the time. Keyword: most... The apex winch is a stupid purchase. If you're going to spend that much, get something name brand with a warranty and actual support. IMO if you're going to spend more than the $250-$300 for...

As far as 'fuses' go, I thought the outer Ujoint, or driveshaft ujoint, were the weak points that would fail first. I had the parts and tools to fix it with me on the trail if I needed to, but made it off the trail and back home without incident. I beat the living **** out of it, and do dumb...

They were USA standard chromoly shafts. Trying to figure out the warranty situation, they don't have any way of contacting them directly...

Was stuck in a mudpuddle, heard a pop that sounded expensive, and was 3wd after that... Dana 30, usa gear 4.88, yukon carrier, spartan lunchbox. These were USA Standard Chromos...

The ECU needs to see a 'normal' no bypass fuse installed condition for awhile after the battery is disconnected or run low. I haven't tested exactly how long it needs to be, but it's more than 1 cold start. I doubt they fried something.

And the wiring diagrams are incorrect. The bypass fuse runs to the ecu and no jumps the clutch switch. It changes the idle speed/reaction in addition to turning the 4wd light on. If the clutch switch was actually in the cruise circuit, it wouldnt work with it jumpered/fuse or cut/soldered like...

No it doesnt. The cruise disables itself after the RPM rises without a change in speed, I don't think I've ever had it rise more than 2-300rpm. It may be different in older TJs

Leave it out for a few start/drive cycles. The ecu needs to 'reset' itself and it will work after that. It will stop working again anytime the battery gets low or disconnected. The FSM wiring diagram is incorect for the 06 too. I haven't found the right one yet. I just cut the wires at the...
