    Northern Region deer- Pilot Mtn area?

    I just looked at Google maps and the Pilot range appears to be mostly in Utah. My son and I spent some time jeeping out there a couple of years ago and it looked like a good area to look for deer. We saw tracks and lots of good habitat but not many deer. We didn't hike up into the best looking...

    What to use for paint on a battery box ?

    I have some but I haven't had much luck getting it to stick to new metal. I have cleaned the surfaces and used their metal prep and still it comes off. Maybe I should let it get rusty first.

    What to use for paint on a battery box ?

    The box is more of a tray and nothing should short out. I have used Metal Craft before and the first thing I had them do was very reasonable but the last small thing I had done was pricey.

    What to use for paint on a battery box ?

    I welded up a heavy duty battery tray for my Commando project and wanted some ideas as to what paint I should use. I want something that will help with corrosion yet will stick to new metal well. Should I get it galvanized ? if so does anyone know who does that in town ?

    Tent Heaters

    When I camp in the winter I slip my lightweight summer bag inside of my winter bag and sleep on a 4 inch foam pad on a cot. I have used this method at Flaming Gorge where we sleep on the ice at way below zero and stay comfy all night. I would use the heater only to take the chill off before...

    Electrical Gurus.... help?

    There are electrical circuits that could do that but would most likely require a custom design. There are speedometer T connectors that allow two VSS units to be used at the same time. You could use two different units and switch the signal going to the PCM between the two.

    XJ fuel strainer issues

    My fuel pump also sits tight against the bottom and what you suggest would keep the strainer from falling off but my goal was to make sure that the pump couldn't pull anything in that didn't go through the strainer which requires a tight fit on the joint between the pump and strainer.

    XJ fuel strainer issues

    I have an XJ fuel pump in my Scrambler custom tank and had the new pump die last weekend. What I found is that the new fuel strainer doesn't fit tight over the end of the pump which I believe allowed some gunk to get sucked into the pump and jam it up. I went on a quest to find a strainer that...

    87 4.0 Jeep engine

    We finally got around to swapping the 4.0 in my son's Comanche and have his old motor in the garage. It has high miles but was running fine when we took it out (We found one with lower miles). It had no knocks and didn't blow smoke. It could use a few seals but would give some more service to...

    Wanted 242 transfer case

    I was digging in my parts pile and came across a box of Mopar rebuild parts for a 242. I was holding on to them for my ZJ but I sold it. These parts would allow you to rebuild your case. They are all brand new parts in boxes. Let me know if you want to rebuild your instead of buying another case.

    would you...

    Last spring we were coming back from Flat Iron Mesa and a guy in a Ford SUV was towing a Dodge Turbo diesel 1Ton pickup that had a flatbed jeep trailer on back of it. I betting he had to have the tranny rebuilt when he got to Moab.
