A welder that is worth his salt can burn the old nut out with a 000 tip. If you don't know one, a dremel with a cutting wheel could cut into it a few slices to assist chiseling in out,,,gregg

Not trying to hijack, my apologies, it's just some mentioned 40 k miles on the St Maxx, I'm hoping to get any leads on a tire that's like the St Maxx but a better compound for longer mileage,,,gregg

I'm on my second set of St Maxx on my Dually. Their probably not the best tire for what I'm doing with them, but I'm limited on selecting tires for 17" rims. Plus they really look good on a truck. But I'm only getting 25k miles before needing new. I might get 30k if I push them to last little...

There ya have it, dove tail the bed a little bit and some ramps. Those low low miles on that 7.3 is just money under the mattress, it'll be there later if you sell it down the road, there's a huge community always looking for them. Pull the trigger Brotha, love watching build projects,,,gregg

Here in Ca. we can tow double trailers if the first connection is a 5th wheel and the right endorsement on your license. I don't see it often, but looks cool as well rolling down the hwy. Your current tow vehicle is very limited, sounds like storage is a issue, basically a second driver is the...

I too have ran thru in my mind the different combinations to tow a trailer and boat or the tj on certain trips. A class c motor home has limited towing, a class A diesel gets the comfort plus the towing capacity but we can't get into some of our favorite spots with it. We have a few different...

Morning guys, I know it's not a TJ and may be in the wrong section. I'm reaching out to everyone for any info on a 2019-2020 only Compass. My wife's 14' Subaru with 130k miles CVT trany needs replacing, so we are new car shopping. There are other compact suv I like, but she gets a vehicle...

Here's the way to set your castle nut. I use a long handle 1/2" drive ratchet to tighten the nut while turning the wheel to where the wheel has some drag when turning it. Back the nut loose and tighten it hand tight. Adjust the nut to the closest slot in the castle nut, forward or backward, just...

Thanks guys for pointing me to Crutchfield. I got a Alpine with Bluetooth, bt is what I was really needing, my factory stereo worked fine. This was the easiest stereo install I have ever had. Crutchfield supplied the harness adapter already wired, antenna adaptor, meta bezel and detailed...

If you get electric brakes vs surge brakes, you can adjust the brakes for any condition light to heavy using the brake controller. We just got back picking up a horse we bought out of Idaho. Our four horse gooseneck trailer is heavy as fuuk, coming down long grades, I back off on the brake...

That's a nice trailer you have, gregg

Mostly hauling hay, plus runs to the dump. I have the property to store my trailers and boats that we own. So having a bigger trailer is no big deal, but if I was in a tract house, things would be different I'm sure. I picked up another panel stall awhile go. 6 8x12' welded panels in all, if I...

I lean towards a 8' wide deck over the wheels, I can do more with a trailer like that. But others may not have needs for the extra work for their trailers. It's a much higher trailer yes, But it's still 8' wide over all, vs 8'6" or 9' with the decks between the wheels, and still not a 8' wide...

I have 16' with what I would call a modified DT, still need the ramps to get on it, yet it has decent ground clearance. My ramps are way over built, I can load a pick up with a diesel engine and they don't flex or bend. But they are getting heavier each year I get older. Ramps are a pita, if...

I make a few things out of CF for boats from time to time, Dash panels, switch panels brackets. It looks great, has some good structural strength, but scratches easy and shows those scratches proudly. Doesn't seem to me to be a good match for a off-road rig for that kind of money,,,gregg

Is this issue with all model year 06 with a 4.0? I ask because I thought I read that Jeep fixed the issue before the end of the year model run and can check the vin number to see if I have a redesigned opda. Also read Crown sells a replacement that allows oil to the upper bushing where as oem...

I have a 1 ton Dodge Dually with Cooper S/T Maxx tires. They tape out around 34 x 12 inches. Good look on the truck with beefier tires and a good load rating, we have a Arctic Fox camper that is way north 4k lbs loaded up for a trip. We have 3 acres of sand here, except where I hauled in road...

I made it to go across the roll bars just aft of the factory speaker boxes on the roll bar. It suspends lower then the roll bar as you can see in the pics. We have a couple shotguns with 30"barrels for Duck hunting. Going under the roll bar gave me the extra length for those guns. Shorter...

Marathon if you want something to take abuse and wear like iron. They are made to order, call you back before they make them to confirm everything. Pricey, but buy nice cry once,,,gregg https://www.marathonseatcovers.com

I'm finishing up my tow bar I welded up. I'm not adding assist braking but did install the Ready Break away just in case the Jeep separates from my Truck. Also used Hopkins wire kit 56202 for the lights. Factory connectors and has the diodes built in to use the Jeep's lights instead of adding...
