    Did Black Bear Pass Sep 2016, hit the trail about 8:30 am, when I reached the top of the pass it started snowing real hard, with strong winds. This blizzard lasted a good 15 minutes. My wife and I were the only vehicle up there that we could see. When it cleared up, we continued on in light...

    Reprogramming needed for 33" tires on a manual transmission?

    I will be picking up the new Rubicon I ordered next week. The dealer will be changing out the stock tires and rims for my 33" tires/wheels. Do I need to have the "computer" reprogrammed as it is a manual transmission? Is this something the dealership could simply do? Thanks.

    Changing winch wire to synthetic questions

    I have a VR800 Warn winch on my JK. I would like to swap the wire to synthetic line. I hear that one should only use synthetic line on a winch designed for synthetic. Is this true? There is nothing wrong with my wire, just would like all the advantages of synthetic line. Any thoughts?
