I figured before I went unhinged on my radio I'd ask the collective for suggestions. I got a radio a while back and, being the tightwad I am and having never done this before, decided to try and install it myself. Can't be that hard right? ...

This is all purely hypothetical for a dream build...... but if you swapped late model Power Wagon axles into a 4door JK, would the wheel speed sensors be compatible with the Jeep's computer? JKs have all them whizbang electrominically controlled...

I have a 1990 F350 with no key! The steering column is locked and I would prefer to not have to change out the column. Is there a way to get a key with the vin number or a way to change out the tumbler? Any Ideas? It also has a 1996 351w...

So my alternator when out on my truck this morning and I am looking to upgrade... The standard is a 95 amp and I was wondering if I can just buy a higher amp alternator and not harm anything. It is a 96 F250 w/ 5.8 Imput?

hey guys, I have a heavy draw that is seriously killing my batteries. I have checked all the fuses and major relays. None of these is the cause of the draw. I have replaced the batteries and the alternator twice, now. I am at my wits end. Do you...

I've got a drain on my ZJ I'm trying to track down rightnow myself. I've already pulled each individual fuse for all my aftermarket accessories, but the battery is still dead after about 2 days. Last night I read the FSM and have a few ideas. ...

I have a new CB I need to install in my jeep but I don't have an antenna, anybody know where to get one in town?

The cute little light under the hood would really only ever let you see well enough to find the dipstick or hook up jumper cables (if you're not the dead one) so I thought a little extra under-hood lighting might come in handy. About $10 at...

I had purchased a T-Max Boomer box (winch controller) for my winch a few months ago because I wanted the wireless feature. I didn't get around to installing it until I burned up the solenoids on my Warn controller. So now I have to install the...

After waiting for what seemed like weeks for these to get here, I had to start the install right after the delivery man left the door. It is a ready to install kit when it got here, but I wanted to make a few modifications along the way for ease of...

Probelm: I hook up the isolator and the fuze block gets no power. I can see why comparing the pictures to the digram. This is the way I had it just like the digram from the manual. I connected the alternator output from the Maxifuze...

Is it safe to ground a winch to the frame if you're running it on an isolated 2nd battery? 1 of the 2 receptacles I got my hands on has a heavy duty grounding strap. I want to use that one for the rear bumper which actually is a frame crossmember....

I have been doing some looking and i think a liberty 136amp alt might fit anyone try this yet?

Working with Nates/Dovers/Marks/Justins old Jeep - now it belongs to a friend of mine named Thomas. It drains the battery overnight. Somehow - somewhere. How do you find an electrical drain when nothing is obviously on?

Can you use a TJ alternator on a 91 XJ? I figure if the plugs are the same you can. I guess I'll try to figure it out before napa closes. I looked on their site and they are different part numbers.

soooooooooo....you can help me diagnose the issues with mine? :p

I have been letting my diesel burb sit at my momshouse for a while and after trying to start it, draining the battery then charging it, it now has no power running thru it at all. No lights, no horn turn the key on and nothing even with jumpers...

Open to anyone. 3 rigs at a time, inside a heated garage. SWR meter will be available, as well as fabrication for antenna mounts. No date set yet, but probably the 2nd Saturday in January. December is filling up fast, and the first Sat is booked....
