    Single Axle Crawler Hauler

    I was inspired by a "Built, not Bought" FB post about Fred Williams' crawler hauler. It's a single 10k axle trailer that is around 1,000 lbs. and hauls his jeep around. I started pricing a trailer build and quickly got out of the realm of financially realistic. 10k trailer axles, tires, brakes...

    I swapped a running & driving 03 5-speed donor into another jeep. Everything except the tub, transfer case, frame, and axles are from the 03. Dash, ignition, fuel, PCM, wiring harness, etc. is all from an 03. At crank, it started, ran rough for about 5 seconds then died. Following, a crank but...

    Emissions readiness reset

    My state requires emissions testing for inspection purposes on vehicles 25 years old and newer. This is done every two years. Since I've owned my 05, it's always given me issues when it comes time for inspection. I performed TSB # 25-005-13 two years ago and was able to get it to pass after...

    Single brake line to each axle: Which outlet on the proportioning valve?

    I'm running a single brake line to each axle. Out of the two ports off the side and one off the rear, which should be used and which one should be blocked? Or does it matter?

    Aluma-J

    Figured I'd share a customers build that I've been working on the past 6 months. It's also a primary reason why my stretched TJK project has been slowly progressing. 2 years ago, a local customer brought me his 12,000 mile LJ that had some major cancer going on, from the perspective of alot of...

    03 with SKIM, no start

    A friend of mine has an 03 Sahara and told me it wasn't starting. Trying to diagnose over the phone was a challenge but it pretty much stemmed from a battery change. I made my way over and performed some basics. Jeep will not start nor will it turn over. I can hear fuel pump turn on and SOME...

    Stretched TJK (bigger rubber & extra inches)

    It's been well over a year now since I cut apart a set of axles and got them into rolling axle assemblies. I've finally had some time to share my build and post.
