    First wheeling trip to Moab - Suggestions?

    I will be making my first trip to Moab the first week of April. I will be heading out there with a pack of side by side guys. I think I will mostly be riding in their side by side but will also tow my TJ out there. I am hoping some Moab locals or others that have wheeled there can give me a few...

    1997 with disabled ABS and a whooshing brake pedal

    I have a 1997 TJ that came with ABS. About a decade ago, I disabled the ABS by pulling the relay when I replaced my Dana 35 with a Dana 44 that did not accommodate ABS. The rest of the ABS is still in place. I have been running a 15” Big Brake Kit for over a decade as well. I recently started having...

    Are these the same relays?

    I am trying to find a replacement relay for some lights. I have included a picture of my current relay and a picture of a readily available one. They are slightly different. My current one does not have a “slash” through the box that represents the coil between pins 85 & 86. Most of the ones I...

    Cross nuts vs rivnut

    Just a rambling thought about fasteners… I ran across a guy using these cross nuts when installing shelving and such in his van. On the surface, it seems that they might provide better resistance to spinning and pulling out than rivnuts. The obvious downsides are the depth and maybe width...

    Rubicon Trail Trip Spare Axles?

    Edit: I ran the Rubicon Trail several years ago in the Jeep described below with Jeep Jamboree and didn’t recall finding it as difficult as I thought it would be but my memory may not be the best and everything seems easier when enough time has passed. Likely that was due to some great spotting...

    Differences between Dana 44 drum brake and disc brake axle shafts

    I was poking around on Revolution Gear website looking at Dana 44 axles shafts. They make a distinction between shafts for a Dana 44 with drum vs disc brakes. They do not elaborate on the differences. Anyone care to educate me on the differences?
