    Picked up a Bantam BT3-C trailer. <<UPDATE 2017>>

    Got a good deal ($300) on a Bantam BT3-C trailer. Lots of rust underneath and the floor is pretty much shot. This was bought to haul my kayaks and camping gear. I figured I could get it sandblasted, maybe new floor (or just put wood) and still be ahead. I got a few quotes to get it blasted and...

    Help removing a winch plate

    The previous owner thought it would be a good idea to weld a small tab on each of the four winch plate bolts. I'd like to swap out the bumper but I need to take these off first, can anyone please recommend how I can get the welded bolts off? Here is a pic for better understanding

    REI Half Dome 2 Plus - Great for cot users!

    I've loved camping cots since I was a kid. I had a GI Joe play set that had a cot and always thought it was the coolest thing ever. I currently use a 79in L cot and its been hard to find a tent for it. The problem is most tents that will fit are for 4 or 6 people. Way too big for my needs. I...

    Lets talk portable air compressors

    I've had an Superflow MV-50 for about 6 years now. The plan was to use this thing till I got my OBA set up or till it died. I re-plumbed it to a standard fitting and got a long large diameter hose that works as a pseudo-tank. Truth is it's worked so well for me that I put that OBA money to other...

    Tires and Fuel

    06 LJ I6 4.0 I'm coming up for new tires in about 3 months. I currently run 285/75/R16 M/T with the stock 4:10 gears. I've been kicking around the idea of dropping down a size to 265/75/R16 M/T. I don't really wheel that hard anymore and with gas going up this has become a factor. My rig has...

    Any manifold chefs here??

    I love to cook on the manifold. Going up to big bear, I always make awesome chicken burritos wrapped in foil. Sometimes I wrap potatoes, corn (takes a long time), hot dogs, etc. whatever else I have around. This usually works best when you are rock crawling or just going slow and steady. The...

    Rebuilding my NP-231, best kit?

    my NP-231 t-case is leaking like a sieve. 1990 YJ close to 200k. I thought about buying a rebuilt one but after some research I found it would be much cheaper to rebuild mine. Now this is a daily driven 99% street jeep. Very little if any off-road since I use my LJ for that. Should I even...
