    Tailgate Mounted Tire Carrier

Personally my rig will be used for overland and expedition of canadian rockies. for me i need the cargo space and that means rear tire carrier. If i could afford all the upgrades i'd be headed for...

    Does anyone know what the factory amperage draw is?

    Folks, Under normal use conditions what is the amperage requirement to support the jeeps electrical system? i know an alternator at idle doesn't produce its advertised current. The situation i described was not at idle. it was rolling down the road. This "situation" is also a mute point...

    Does anyone know what the factory amperage draw is?

    Thats what i'm getting at. I'm wondering what the "free" amperage is so i can plan accordingly for what i have right now. if running and rolling down the road requires 65A i know i have 60A worth of auxillary with 11A left to charge. i dont plan on going crazy with accessories but i'd like to...

    Does anyone know what the factory amperage draw is?

I'm running a 136 alternator and am planning my accessories.... lights, winch, compressor, aux power for fridge.

    i'm going to be running 37x13.5r17 rubber on beadlocks. After a long time of searching for the perfect tire carrier i realized a few things. A) Most people with larger than stock tires go bumper mount Pros - Strong, usually can mount extra goodies Cons - Added weight, you get...

    ARB locker / compressor knockoff

    honestly for the 112 canadian it would be interesting to see the quality. but i agree, any time there is a knockoff you should expect knockoff quality and reliability.

    2005 LJ on 35s: going the distance

    Crazy long time since my last post. Update is there is no update.... Engine is still pulled and waiting on a new piston. Up side is after honing the block we only had to get a single piston 0.003" over size.

    2005 LJ on 35s: going the distance

    fun story..... engine was running horrible and making a sound that was similar to that of a cummins 12 valve. dropped the pan to see what was going on to find that the piston in cyl 1 could be moved by hand...... engine is pulled and back at the machine shop.... yay.

    2005 LJ on 35s: going the distance

    i think i narrowed down an issue with why the engine is running like crap. i'm suspecting that the timing chain might have been installed incorrectly and the cam is advanced way too far forward. intake center line is 107 Lobe Sep:113 Intake duration: 254 Exhaust duration: 262 if by some chance...

    Found 2005 LJ Rubicon

    A friend of mine sold his Camaro in the states and it wasn't much to import. Salt and rust is only an issue if the person didn't maintain the vehicle. It's not like living on a coast or near a body of water. Its relatively dry up here. Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk
