    California "USED" Warn synthetic winch line

    175.00 shipped. I will install the original tube thimble and Warn hook back onto it unless directed otherwise. Used in quotes because this line has never been used under load. It has been installed on the winch, but nothing else. It was removed and replaced with a different color.

    Adventures with ACC carpet kits

    A kit was ordered from Rock Auto in Essex Dark Slate for us to try and install. It didn't take long before we figured out it was molded poorly and no amount of skill or work was going to make it fit correctly. Sadly, it takes a fair bit of effort before you can fully figure that out. The left...

    Webtard help please

    I buy from Sherco. I use these 22-18 g non-insulated butt connectors. I buy them 1000 at a time. When I went to buy them again, all I can find under non insulated terminals are assortments. https://www.sherco-auto.com/collections/non-insulated-terminals They were kind enough to send me a...

    Dash trim, bezel, knee blocker retainer clips

    If you know what these are and where they go, now you know at least one place to get them. My apologies if this is old info, I've never been able to find them until now.

    TJ 4.0 engine gurus

    2006 4.0, presents with a rough idle and terrible miss. After some seriously painful diagnostics, we found a divot in the #3 piston and a bent exhaust valve that is not closing. Several smart folks have offered up theories as to what happened, I have no idea which are correct. Anyone have any...

    Warn aluminum fairleads

    If you run one, keep an eye on it. Had an incident recently where a Warn line parted on a reasonably hard pull when it shouldn't have. My concern was I did the install and while not probable, it was possible that I missed a sharp edge too close to the fairlead opening. We replicated the pull...

    Dry cut saw

    I have no idea how this compares to my Makita but if you are planning on getting into a dry cut, this one seems cheap enough to dip a toe in...

    California Pay it forward

    A nice gent donated some items knowing I would distribute them appropriately. Pay shipping, I'll estimate the amount. I won't quote, I won't ask for a complete address, I won't ship before payment. I will try to get them out in a timely manner. WYSIWYG Mirrors- fits in a medium flat rate 16...

    Design and fabrication chat

    We all do lot of fab and need to understand some aspects of design rather than just throw lots of material at something. It would help if the folks I've discussed this with hold back some until we get some input. So, this is simple, what is needed on the below project and what was done that is...

    Setrab transmission oil cooler 53-10748 reference pictures to aid some installs

    I'll try to get the mount to the V bar in here at some point but for now, this will be assuming the Setrab is in the grill mounted to the V-bar low enough to get the extruded fin steering cooler above it. The 42RLE cooler line ports are generally upper and lower. The lower is the out to the...

    42RLE cooler ports

    I have them diagrammed on the side of a cabinet as the lower one being out to the radiator and the upper being the return from the radiator. That is based on a diagram I found several years ago but if possible, I'd like something a bit more definitive that just some random diagram drawn by a...

    HVAC temps in a good working TJ with a good HVAC system

    JMT said he was going to swap in a heater core that was touted to deliver 150 degree air. I said I had no idea where that put things but I'd find out, so I ordered in a Robinair instant read HVAC thermometer to find out. These are the temps from one with known good Mopar stuff in it. Ambient...

    Let's see if this works

    https://www.facebook.com/reel/6689134551190467 I can see it, so that means others should be able to as well. Watch the rig lift the left front but at the same time watch the right side. When the tire on and against the rock is straight ahead or turned left which is the way the rig needs to go...

    Solid round bar versus round tube

    This seems to generally be a confusing issue for folks to wrap their head around. There are some calculators out there that help figure some rough parameters for material selection but they can also be used to compare the different strengths of similar shapes in solid and tubular. This one is...

    PSA regarding Jet Performance in Huntington Beach, and their complete idiocy.

    As many may know, our preferred digital speedometer correction device has been the Jet Accuspeed 50110 for years. It is clean, simple, very effective and tolerably priced. Since we are not afraid of wiring, we have no issue tapping into the speedo input wire at the PCM connector. It makes for a...

    Basic wiring connector and terminal questions, product related

    A product should be thought through with consideration as to the abilities of the installer and care given to make that reasonably simple. Our tail light has to be contrived to be plug and play since I fully despise having to undo wiring to remove something. That means you have to be able to...

    License plate carrier, front, fairlead mount, WIP

    I took the design I did for TRE and corrected several things I discovered to be deficient over the years. The major one is the aluminum base plate lost the battle every time the owner forget and smacked the holder into a rock. That ripped the crossbars out of the latch slots. I bumped up the...
