I ordered a new trailer hitch for my wife's Toyota Highlander and it came with a new set of bolts. The factory bolts are stamped with an 11 and the new bolts are stamped with an 8.8. I know there are differences in hardnesses between metric and SAE bolts, but my assumption is these would both...

I've got a comealong, but never take it offroad. It just feels janky and a bit dangerous, with the metal hooks and cables. I get nervous thinking about a cable snapping while I'm right on top of it cranking. I like the idea of a winch with a remote and synthetic line. I've also got a hi-lift...

Man, I hadn't thought of any of that. I do think I need a winch, and will probably buy one anyway, but darn.

I've found one that seems to fit my description from Under Cover Fabworks: https://undercoverfab.com/carbon-steel-winch-plates/24-ucf-carbon-steel-winch-plate-for-jeep-tj.html It's 1/4 inch steel and comes bare metal. The rub is that it's $150 plus shipping. I'm torn because I could get one...

After getting stuck a few times on my trip out to Burning Rock offroad park, I've decided to pick up a winch. My plan is to buy the Badlands Apex 12,000 LB winch from Harbor Freight https://www.harborfreight.com/12000-lb-winch-with-synthetic-rope-and-wireless-remote-56385.html The one thing...

Those are some serious rock lights. Makes mine look like mood lights :cautious:

The ruts were pretty deep. Took about 30 minutes to get un-stuck.

I spent the weekend at Burning Rock Offroad Park in Sophia West Virginia, and it was a great time. There are plenty of trails, and they are well marked. They even had a free android app (maprika) that would show you were you were on the trail. It had been raining for a few days before we showed...

Took me a minute before I figured it out : The first one is for a 6 cylinder Jeep. The second one is for a 4 cylinder Jeep.

Man, that looks awesome. We haven't seen a lick of snow here in Virginia Beach.

Factory fan clutch was 100% seized. Even when the Jeep set overnight. I installed a new four seasons fan clutch and I can move it by hand. I can't really spin it more than halfway by flicking my wrist, but it does move. I'll take it on interstate tomorrow and see how it performs. I've heard...

I noticed what I think is another problem. My fan is fully engaged 100% of the time. Right now the Jeep is stone cold, and I can't spin the fan by hand. If I really pull on it, I can get the entire belt to move, but the fan doesn't spin freely. From what I understand, this means the fan...

Maybe a vacuum leak, dirty idle air controller, or dirty throttle body. Does it throw any codes?

Back on the road again! I ended up getting a genuine Mopar waterpump for only $91. It was an Amazon warehouse return (i.e. someone bought and returned it). It was a bit of a gamble, but the pump looked pristine and came with the gasket (the box itself was beat to heck). The job ended up...
