    Open Road Panther Series Winches

    This is what Warn wants you to believe. Meanwhile, Sherpa (arguably) makes a superior product. Just about any 8k+ winch from a reputable company will serve the average jeepers for a long time. Especially on a lighter yj. Just research what options you want: -Badland -Mile Marker -Ramsey -Sherpa...

    Need front seats for 94 YJ

    If your seat is in decent condition, this might work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/114605608408?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5337789113&toolid=20001&mkevt=1 Might need an upholstery shop to install it though.

    What oil weight and brand are you running in your 4.0 YJ?

    I always recommend Rotella or Dello 10w30 diesel oil. Either one is a good oil at a good price. Both have sufficient zinc ZDDP to keep your flat tappet cam happy for a long time.

    In need of lift and tire advice

    Perhaps an unpopular opinion. If you actually want a "tiny lift" I recommend a 1" body lift from Prothane or daystar. If you add some 5"to 5½" long shackles, you will end up just shy of 2" lift for about $250. You could probably run 31s without too much rubbing. These mods will pair well with...

    Anyone running a Dana 35 with a True-Trac?

    For the record, I ended up installing a super 35, eaton E-locker setup. ...so far, so good 👍

    Has anyone installed dual batteries?

    I'm rockin' an un-insulated metal building with extension cords for power. However, my buddy Jacob (Journeyman concrete finisher) hooked me up with the smoothest, flatest concrete floor I have ever had the pleasure of rolling around on. I'm not complaining 😌

    MC 2100 swap question

    Mine was doing that, pulled my hair out looking for vacuum leaks. Turns out the tps was partially unplugged. You might take a quick look.

    How much lift do I need for 265/75R16 tires?

    No issues with the UFC skid plate and no BL? The whole reason I installed a 1" BL was to accommodate the Extra clearance skid plate.

    How much lift do I need for 265/75R16 tires?

    That's basically a 31x10.50. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ those should fit fine, but they would probably rub a little at full flex (if you're worried about that kind of thing). If you're not doing stoopid stuff, that setup should work fine. Not sure how much back space would be needed. On...

    Has anyone installed dual batteries?

    Not in the jeep, but I've done it in my plow trucks ('73 Jimmy & '91 Bronco) Depending on why you need dual batteries, there are a couple different ways to wire them up. Personally, I hook them up in parallel, with an isolation solenoid between them so they're separated when the key is off...

    Onboard air

    Sanden 709 conversion. The whole thing cost me less than $100 to build, it works friggin great! I also carry a HF 12v unit as a backup. (2 is 1, 1 is none) The Harbor Freight pump works decent enough, and I feel better having a backup...

    Auxiliary backup light

    This is a 7" light bar from Amazon. It lasted about a year and a half before it burned out, but it cost about 10 bucks and takes 10 minutes to swap out. I was replacing it and decided to post a couple pics. The brackets are made out of a flat piece of aluminum, bent to shape. This mod was cheap...

    Exhaust manifold replacement: what else should I do at the same time? Share some wisdom & save me some time

    My YJ had a bad exhaust manifold gasket when I got it. Drove it for 2 days before I couldn't take it anymore and ripped it apart. I replaced the gasket and about $450 worth of other miscellaneous parts. Wife was like "Why are you dumping money into a car you just bought 2 days ago?" 🤪 ...this...

    How much should I pay to get track bars removed?

    I would. I 💯 recommend relocating the track bars to the scrap heap.

    Well, that was expensive

    Different vehicles. Some I removed when I sold the rig and transfered to new rig. Usually get 10 years or so out of one. The winch may be a factor on the Jeep.

    Well, that was expensive

    It was tagged 6/16. But it had a hard life. Ran dead multiple times, stored for months at a time. Etc. It was tired. I use a Noco Genius charger. It is a smart charger with AGM settings. I've had good luck with red top batteries over the past 20 years. I've owned at least a half a dozen and...

    Well, that was expensive

    I just replaced my Red Top Battery. It was almost $300 after tax 😲 That's about a hundred bucks more than the last one I bought 💸💰💲🤷 Just Empty Every Pocket 😓
