    Good morning, recently purchased Warn Zeon winch for my 2006 Lj . Thus, I need to optimize my battery terminal connectors, to accommodate the additional “add on’s “.

    Don't Flat Tow in 4 Low!

    Came across this video yesterday, aftermath of flat towing 2021 Jeep. Catastrophic outcome! Although, not relevant to Jeep tj, it’s interesting I’m not too adept at copy and paste, so if link does not work. Got to YouTube and search “2021 Jeep destroyed. How!?” It’s great!

    Tips for broken zipper guide?

    I had zipper “ blow out” on rear window, few years back. I found a guy who works on “zippered windows / covers, for boats. His specialty was marine upholstery. He installed larger nylon zipper. Problem solved. Possibly locate a similar tradesman in your area

    Misaligned nutsert when installing armor. Best way to fix?

    I’ve found that if nutsert is slightly mis-aligned, as in photo, I was able to manipulate screw into it, then snug screw down to make it align. Seems that the tolerance of drilled hole yields some movement of nutsert. Good luck

    Harbor Freight jack stand recall

    Just received a product recall for 3 ton and 6 ton jack stands, they claim they will retract under load. That’s comforting ! My kids bought them for me and I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I would never use them. If you have these items, return to store or dump em.

    Removing hard glue from hood

    Give odorless “mineral spirits” a try, can be obtained Home Depot, etc.,. It evaporates quickly and it will soften all adhesives to the point where you can wipe away residue. I’ve used it for several types of glues and caulking. I haven’t had a problem with it etching paint. Used it on 2015...
