    Ford connectors/terminal.

    Crash, go to Bickford in snohomish. For a while Bickford had the retail parts counter shut down due to a building remodel. The retail customers had to go back to the service department parts counter. On the wall at the service department counter was a huge poster with pictures of the commmon...

    tuning a cb radio without swr meter

    Yea...You cant tune it if you have no meter to tune to. How about simply not tuning it. If you've hooked it up using normal parts and practices its gonna work. Certainly tuning it will make it as efficent as possible. If you have a short circuit in the antenna it wont transmit.

    CB Radio's

    I have two Uniden 520XL's. They're cheep 60 bucks and have been reliable. The key thing to remember is that a vehicle is a HORRIBLE platform for a radio station. There is a ton of radio interference from wiring, ignition and mostly the electronic fuel pump. All the installation tips you...

    ? 4 u tube benders

    Thats big enough you may be better off cutting, mitering and re-welding. You could do a two or 3 piece miter and tig weld it. It would be full strength and look pretty nice.

    Which joint is best with DD

    I have Rubicon Express Superflex joints on front and rear controll arms. (The Superflex are pretty much the same thing as a Johnny Joint.) With 3000 miles these joints are still tight: some remain so tight they wont take grease yet. Definitely a high quality, long wearing joint. Got my...

    Jeep fender flare measurements please!

    Hey Boonie, I have a set of 6" Warn flares for a TJ that are in great shape that I'd sell cheep. Is this what your looking for ?? They will legally cover a 10" wide wheel. I had them installed for a season but didn't like them as they hid a lot of the tire from the drivers view.

    Compressor (I want one)

    What ever you do DONT get a diaphram/vibrator pump compressor. A 2-3 horse will run a media cabinet OK with a stop here and there for the pump to catch up.

    floor jack welder ???

    Matt bit on the welder, I'll bite on the jack: Those little 2-1/2 to 3 ton floor jacks are actually pretty good for lifting a Jeep or Toyota. I would recomend you invest heavily in wooden blocks. Not 2x4 stuff but ends cut from 6x6's, 8x12's and so on. When you need to lift your rig put one...

    tires

    Based on many members avatars, Thornbirds seem to be a popular choice. Hell, I thought they were great too for a hundred posts or so!

    DOM vs. Moly

    The roll cage benefit of DOM or 4130 is not about the alloy. The benefit is in how both tubes are rolled at the mill. In either case the tubes are are extruded to a greater degree and at higher temperature. This produces a very fine grained piece of tubing. The fine grain makes the tube...

    Strut Compressor Alternative?

    Most all rental shops rent spring compressors. I've heard that Pep Boys will loan a tool for no charge with a deposit. You can just about buy a set at Harbor freight for 50 bucks.

    tj or yj im am in a rutt. please help pull me out

    Sooooo.... Just to answer the TJ Vs YJ debate only. Here are a couple basic facts (challenges invited as this is a good question). 1) On the highway a lifted YJ is outright scary to drive. A lifted TJ won't handle perfectly but feels much safer and more controlled. (Jeeps became every day...

    For good pricing: Costco has had some good deals on rollaways, also look at Grizzly Industrial in Bellingham. Grizzly has a webcatalog.

    ***Warn Winch Expert Wanted***

    Sorry man, its worth nothing. Luck for you however, I'm on my way to the dump; I'll swing by, pick it up and throw it away for you. :D Seriously though. Many people feel the 8274 is THE best winch ever made. It probably worth 500 bones. Not sure what you mean by the "controller box"...

    Looking at buying a JD2

    JD squared is the top of the line. Don't spend the money on the degree ring and don't spend your money on the hydraulic power kit, you really don't need them. The bender (frame and die holder) is actually the cheap part. It's the dies that will kill you as each differant bend radius and...

    What Battery do you Prefer?

    Your best battery is a big 'ol hurking lead acid battery. Unfortunately, they wont fit in most rigs. The advent of the spiral cell /cinamon roll dry Optima type batterys is not because they are better in terms of draw down and reliability: they're not. It's because they can produce adequate...

    ATK High Performance Engines??

    You might want to think about simply replacing it with a stock 4.0 liter. Its a damn good engine. That basic engine has been around since 1964 and was first used in Ramblers. You start going bigger (as in V8) and you will start breaking stuff. Hell, with your stock engine you can break...
