    How strong is unistrut?

    If any engineer can explain this to me I'd appreciate it. These are unbraced weights, but I'm not sure if I should be increasing substantially for the shaking that will occur... Obviously would have bracing as well

    How strong is unistrut?

    I'm looking at adding a rack for my RTT to my 5x8 utility trailer. I wanted something that I could mount the RTT on top of, fit bikes underneath in the future, as well as store things on the trailer itself of course. I have a lead on 1-5/8 in. x 13/16 in. 14ga unistrut, but wasn't sure if it...

    98 ZJ Roof Top Tent Rack suggestions

    Custom made is probably the cheapest/best way if you have the means to do so. Removing the factory rack and attaching to the existing holes would likely be enough, and you'd be able to make a slim and strong rack to mount to. Take your sunroof into consideration if you have one - I currently...

    Grand Cherokee ZJ Builds (Share you pictures)

    A little outdated, some of the pics have broken links...but the last of the thread you get the idea. Check my sig for my old build. I replaced the gray 98 w/ the yellow TJ and did a magnum swap...didn't like it much. I'm back in a 98 ZJ now.

    Intro and thread for updates for my 98 ZJ

    Love it! This was a great source of info when I built my ZJ. If you need any help, feel free to ask! I'm building my second 5.9L ZJ right now. Being out in the west, with that ZJ, make sure you're running a GOOD aux trans cooler. This is the one I am currently installing...

    XJ/ZJ as budget off roader

    If you're going for 3" lift, you can't go wrong with any of the 3 (XJ/ZJ/WJ) XJ's used to outnumber ZJ's/WJ's in aftermarket parts, but that is starting to not be the case. And if you're truly going to stick with "budget" and not do a TON of stuff, I'd go with ZJ/WJ for FAR SUPERIOR comfort in...

    Overlanding in North America - Toyota Hilux Surf or Jeep Cherokee?

    You came to a Jeep forum and asked about driving a toyota or a jeep? ;) In all seriousness, if you're "full time adventuring" and don't have deadlines to meet, a diesel toyota would be cool. But to say the same thing: if something breaks, you're likely stuck in that place until you can order it...

    4.56 or 4.88s?

    When I was asking between 4.10 and 3.73 for my Wrangler (only running 33's, but with a 5.9L swap) someone said, "I've never heard anyone regret going with the higher gear" I went with 4.10 and have ZERO regrets. Just a thought there. However, if they're saying the strength is greatly...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Continue to stare at it and wish I had a day to work on it... But between snow and the baby it's hard to find a good time

    Cranks but won't start

    Did you listen for it to make noise when you turned the key? You can also do a "spot check" of the fuel rail... Prime the system by turning the key and not starting it, and then use a rag to push in on the Schrader valve and see if gaS "shoots" out. Doesn't mean it has the correct fuel...
