I have the safe jack kit, bought a bottle jack locally though. Its been pretty handy, much easier to move about than the hi-lift. stores nicely under the rear seat even.
I'm running generic seat covers bought out of oreillys, or auto zone. They've held up pretty well for a couple years, but I can tell the thinner sides are wearing out. But they're as cheap as you go.
If you didnt, it can help to lift a corner of the vehicle to give more digging room or take pressure off of the obstruction, if terrain allows. Digging is one of those lessons you learn from quickly. Glad you made it out without damage.
When we stopped ice broke off our boots. I never felt so cold. I've ridden through torrential downpours, wind storms, wildfire smoke (which is probably the most scared I've ever been in my bleeding life) and I still wouldn't trade it for anything. Every bad moment is an opportunity to learn and...
Mine is also a 13. I have heated liners from cycle gear, so I ride down to 30ºF. I might be able to get away with a little more on the Tiger as it has heated grips as well.
Delphi, Deutsch, mulitlock, molex all make weather resistant connectors, and are prevalent in cars, trucks, and motorcycles. If a connector works 5" above the road totally exposed, roof applications should be easy.
I had the chance to spend Saturday roaming around the Land between the Lakes national rec area on my triumph. And had a blast. I havent been able to get out on this bike enough, and the stock tires are mostly street biased, so I was taking it carefully. This place has something for everyone. I...
Got out a bit this weekend. Land between the lakes national rec area, with 200 miles of roads. They allow dispersed camping 3 days for $7. About 730 miles total.
I've got a BDS 6", put it on in 2007. Until now no issues. Two of the BDS shocks now have blown seals, so I'm getting Bilsteins and replacing the rear leafs+ blocks with sky jacker lift springs. BDS kits now come with FOX shocks, and you can order the lift springs as an upgrade in the kit...
When I started dating my wife she had a 2004 Silverado 1500 crew 2wd. After driving it for a couple years I was very fond of it and its set up. So when I replaced my 85 C-10 I got a 2007 K2500HD. All the things I loved, with way more capability.
Welcome to older Jeeps. the first thing I did with my 67 jeepster was have a new wiring harness put in, with more than 3 fuses. There are some headaches, but these little guys will go damn near anywhere.
I recently adjusted my rear 37" interco M16s to 35 PSI when unloaded, 42 PSI front. Its a far stretch from the 80 PSI that the OEM rear tires ran. But when I get an alignment, without fail the shop puts all tires at OEM PSI.
I saw a pic of a members rear mounted gear, with a standard cable lock loosely run through and thought I would throw this out there. These little master-locks come in various cable widths, are adjustable, and can be daisy chained for more length if needed. I got one when I bought a nicer mnt...
Hot is relative. I lived in NC and and TX, used to visit family in TN all the time. If your RTT has decent windows I would go with it, but I prefer warm over cold. The trick to that hospitality is "oh thanks, but I promised the boy we'd camp and the tent is already on the truck":smiley:
I've noticed that it is very popular to match the rim/tire combo from the towing rig to the trailer. They look great, and could give you an extra spare, but beyond that I don't see much benefit. Since 100% of the trailer tires traction is going to keeping it inline with the rig, why add the...
Interesting. Is that to keep the pintle from bouncing too much? I've yet do pull either a pintle or a ex MIL trailer, but that is the direction I am looking at going.
