    thinking about new rims

    ha ha, no c.v. axles here, its a '93. technically the fronts will be open caps for the lockout hubs. though i guess i could run caps on all 4 and lock the hubs when i rotate tires in the fall, but with a pinion seal thats been leaking some, i pretty much just lock 'em when its needed. if i didnt...

    thinking about new rims

    both sets of tires i run on my ranger need replaced, im thinking of retiring my alloys to trailer service (the tires on those rims have a really high load rating, still have good tread, they just dont get a good grip on wet pavement due to being old) and the '01 jeep wrangler rims hold water...

    Largest Thing you've towed

    6 x 10 box trailer, weighs 1,000 empty, had a load of oak firewood in it one time that was heavy enough to cause weight transfer off of the front truck tires, when stopping the front tires would slide, dont know how much weight was there. went through town in 4L with hubs unlocked, felt like a...

    What kind of brakes and rotors do you use?

    im only on my 2nd set of front rotors, original set went over 15 years/130,000 miles. both sides developed a crack which caused some horrible pedal pulsating when braking. i just went with the basic autozone replacement parts, pads are the mid-grade stuff from autozone also, rear shoes are the...

    What is your favorite mod or mods you've done?

    screen grille mod, helps keep the chipmonks out, ha ha, seriosly though, i hated this style grille and the potential for something large being able to take out the a/c and possibly the radiator. i used fiberglass cloth/resin and a few bolts along with some expanded metal, i did this a few years...
