You went with a bigger tire, diameter as well as tread width? Did you have the toe-in checked. We want this...Toe-In Not this...Toe-Out

Hey, don't worry about logs on the fire. We're just having a discussion, I hope. I am curious as how information contained in Billavista's Recovery Bible, based upon solid mechanical engineering principals pan out in real world application, that's all. Just sharing thoughts, ideas, and...

Hmmm, I dunno. My '03 Rubicon's GVW is 4,600lbs. I've added bumpers, tire carrier, winch, full body armor, suspension lift, bigger tires and wheels, full roll cage, and a heavier battery. Off-roading I typically carry a pretty complete tool bag, recovery gear bags (shackles, snatch blocks...

Guys, if this thread is confusing, someone jump in and help clear it up. A winch is too important a recovery tool with far too much potential for injury or death to leave the uninitiated with muddled or inaccurate information. If I have made a mistake here please correct me. I don't want to...

Maybe it's me but I'm getting confused here. When we talk about the pulling capacity of a winch it is not when there is more line on the drum but just the opposite, when there is less line wrapped on the drum. The maximum pulling capacity occurs on the first layer of wire rope on the drum...

Overkill. Absolutely not but it really depends on what kind of wheeling you do. Stuck to your axles in mud, buried in sand, or trying to winch up a near vertical rock strewn waterfall and the actual load you will place on that winch can easily be twice the weight of your rig. My 9.5Ti has...

Generally speaking, on our short wheelbase TJ's you are usually good to go up to about 4-inches without driveshaft concerns. At 4" and above the driveline angles get a little crazy causing nasty vibrations. You will have two choices (1) transfer case lowering kit, which is kind of...

Nope. 1997-2006 Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, X, SE - 2000 lb tow rating, 200 lb tongue weight rating for 6-cylinder engine; 1000-lb tow rating, 100-lb tongue weight rating for 4-cylinder engine.

Not real sure where this is at. Checked Google Earth and it looks like some interesting area but couldn't pinpoint "Main Divide". Do you have more information? Also, if you drive it post up some GPS coordinates and pics, as well.

You want to make sure your trailer tongue remains parallel to the ground when hooked up to your Jeep. If your rig is lifted you will need a drop hitch for your receiver that is approximately equal to your lift height. Also, watch your speed. It may be a bit ridiculous here in California...

Nope, no way, no how do I go to the mall anymore. Last time there I got high-centered on a parking curb and had to be strapped by a Prius. :redface:

THIS IS CRITICAL. If not mounted in the exact location spelled out you run the risk of having your badge knocked off by someone's car door while parked at the mall.

Okay, that's not my grandkid. Wife has the camera and is out of town on business. I should be able to post some pics by this weekend. Little guy is still in the hospital, may get to come home tomorrow. Turns out he was a bit more premature than originally thought, had some jaundice and had...

Here ya go...

With a stated top deck capacity of 950 lbs., it looks like the idea was to allow you to carry 3 or 4 motorcycles, an ATV or two, generator, or other bulky equipment. However, if it's made of steel it can be modified with some skill, ingenuity and the right tools.

Check this out...tent and trailer only 880 lbs. and you've got a trailer that does a whole lot more than just camp! Costco - Lifetime® Camping Tent Trailer

This morning at 2:20 a.m., my first Grandson was born! Dominic Philip Jones came in a couple weeks early at 5 lbs. 12 oz. and 19-3/4" long, but otherwise health as a horse. Looks like I may need that back seat after all. ;)

Warn, Ramsey and Superwinch are all top tier winches to my way of thinking. These have been around for a long time and have proved themselves over and over. As for where they are "made," I just had this conversation with the folks at Warn a few weeks ago. While they claim their Warn and Tabor...

If I'm not mistaken the towing capacity of your rig is officially only 1,000 pounds. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a pop-up tent trailer, outfitted with all your camping gear, to fall within that limitation. You've already got 4.10 gears with 33" tires on a 27-spline Dana 35 rear axle...

Sorry, can't help myself...just a quick hihack... http://www.youtube.com/v/CmVvgo1wxh4?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param
