Don't wear no shoes 'cause my dogs can't breath! :lol:

Okay, forget Optima but since your rigs sits for so long at a time I would seriously suggest a battery designated as deep cycle/starting or recommend you use something like a Battery Tender to maintain the battery while it sits. Odessey makes killer AGM deep cycle batteries but a PC1500 will...

Something like this? TJ Speaker & Storage Lockbox Set for Jeep Wrangler TJ

My thoughts... "- 'goose' the 4-banger with a few of the 'tweaks' ... " Nah, just not enough bang for the bucks invested. Bottom line is that a 4 cylinder was, is, and will be...a 4 cylinder. "- go with a supercharger ... " Certainly a possibility but bear in mind that if you're going to...

Wow Mikey, I learned something new! I've never heard the term "calichi" before and am wondering if it is the same thing as described here... Caliche (mineral) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It sounds like you guys wheel in the stuff that used to be in my baby's diapers. LOL!!! :lol:

Disagree with the A/T tread suggestion if your off road wheeling involves Texas gumbo. 20 feet in and you'll be running on slicks. You're going to have to compromise here a bit. At one end of the scale you're looking for a long life tread and on the other end of the scale a tread that will...

IMHO an 8,000 lb. winch would be minimum. My preference would be 9,500 lb. While it is true that most recommendations for winch size are based upon either th 1 1/2 or 2 times vehicle weight, this is totally misleading because many, many recovery situations will far exceed those figures. Is...

I agree with Mikey here, somethings up if you are running 3.07 gears in the front axle and 3.73's in the rear. While it's not an absolute must for the front and rear gear ratios to be identical they need to be within 1% for on-road use and you might be able to get away with as much as 2%...

Mine: 9.5ti Thermometric Self-Recovery Winch You get what you pay for. Top Rated. Have ran it since 2003 and never needed customer support. Performs flawlessly.

What brand CAI did you run? I don't run in mud and I've heard of dust passing through the wet-oiled type filters such as on the AirAid but my intake tube was always clean. Now I've never tried to get 60,000 miles between cleaning the filter either, more like once or maybe twice a year.

This is always a big time debate issue. Is the stock air box really that bad? Are these really "cold" air intakes? Dry filter versus wet-oiled? And on and on. My take on this has been: Forget Throttle Body Spacers. I did seem to gain about 1-1 1/2 mpg when I ran an AirAid. Better yet is the...

Glad I could share, even though mine is certainly not the end-all solution to towing your rig. Of the 3 possible ways to transport, I eliminated the tow dolly because it was not recommended in the Owner's Manual and the work-around of removing drive shaft(s) didn't sound practical when...

X2 what Bounty_Hunter said, with exception to the "Can 'O' Worms" #6. There are dozens of tires out there that will fit your requirements. Me, I'm a Goodyear MT/R w/Kevlar kinda guy and as long as I stay out of the sticky gumbo stuff, they've done everything I've asked of them. And you would...

As you can see from most of the comments, no need to lose sleep over your gear choice, it's gonna be fine unless you're just into serious crawlin' then, in which case I'd be thinking about an Atlas 2-speed. For what it's worth, here's a look at your overall Crawl Ratio: > 2.84 trans 1st...

To reinforce what jps4jeep says here, the Blue Ox Safety Sheets for all models of theri tow bars state: Do Not Back Up when towing. Damage to both vehicles and towing system may occur.

Yep, the brake away unit is in the lower right corner. I've towed my Jeep with and without this unit and I must say I really prefer to have the added braking power. What I really like is (1) it is proportional, applies just what is necessary, and (2) the sensitivity and pressure can be user...

I agree with Bounty Hunter. Yellow = Highway Driving, Good Fuel Economy Green = Daily Driver, Best Overall Performance Blue = Most Power and Towing, Reduced Fuel Economy As you can see in the chart (borrowed from Quadratec), with the change from 3.73 to 4.56 on 35's, you've gone from just...

I'm running the new MT/R Kevlar's on my rig and really like them but my use is totally different from yours. For a rig that stays mostly off the asphalt and on the farm, on typical dirt roads, fields and mud, I'd go with something in the Interco Swamper line...possibly the TSL Bias or SX for a...

I flat tow my rig behind our motor home all the time. Here's my setup: Blue Ox Aventa LX Tow Bar - it is a ball in socket design that incorporates a spherical joint instead of the traditional bolted together flex joint. This design reduces wear points and allows for an extremely strong and...

Hey Mikey, I've got the same problem right now. Getting a P0442 - minor vacuum leak code. I've been looking at lines but so far...nada. Having a hard time trying to determine just how many vacuum lines there are. I've got an '03 but it should be relatively the same from 97 to at least '06...
