Since I have pandemic time on my hands I actually got the second episode done in a timely fashion. I hope you all are staying safe and looking forward to wheeling and adventuring. In the mean time here is a little something to bide the time.

Hi everyone. Hope you are all making it thru this pandemic unscathed. I have been working toward making Jeep Overlanding type videos for the last year. This is my first (of many) entries in that endeavor. I hope you enjoy it. At the very least it's not another post about toilet paper shortages...

What happens if you break a Dana 30 Axle Shaft when you are out wheeling? This question is related to some budget strategies/planning I am doing regarding axle/locker upgrades for my stock axles (Dana 30/Dana 35 on a 2001 TJ Sport). I think I know what happens if you break an axle shaft on a...

I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.0L. Does anyone know what normal Vacuum Pressure should be? I am asking because I have a P0455 code (evap system gross leak) and I have ruled out the gas cap. My OBDii app can show me the Vacuum Pressure in real time but I have no idea what "normal" should...

My 2001 TJ (4.0L) gave me a "P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak)" code yesterday. It happened about 10 minutes into a drive. I had driven the vehicle about a half tank since the last fill-up. The gas cap was secured (it's old so it might have worn out and need to...

I got this jeep on a title trade for a 1974 Steyer-Puch Pinzgauer 710K. It ran but needed new brakes. The brake job turned into a rear wheel seal replacement, which turned into a rear spider gear replacement. After 3 months in the garage waiting for me to get time to make it road worthy. This is...

Does anyone know if I have this seal installed correctly? This is a Dana 35 on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ. This started as a brake job and then morphed into a bunch of work on the rear axle. When I removed the old brake drum on the drivers side I found the brakes coated in oil. I replaced the...

Please see the video. I honestly don't know if these gears are "done". Could use some advice. If I can, my goal is to leave them as is and just keep driving the jeep. What are the pros/cons of that plan? Also, am I correct, these are the spider gears, right? Info: 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport...

I recently installed a Smittybilt XRC (9500lbs, model #97495) Winch. Does anyone know if you can paint the steel cable? Are there any pros/cons? I would mostly be doing this for cosmetic purposes, so I am mostly just asking in case doing something like that would damage the cable (I would think...

Anyone know what to Torque my Spacers and Tires to? I recently got a 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ. It came with 33x12 tires that were bald. I picked up a set of JK Wheels with Goodyear Duratrac Tires that have some tread life left for the price of a single new tire. So I am acctually downsizing my...
