    Wiring an aux (anything)

    Oh, does that go to M7? sorry, I have a Sport, no fancy stuff here, My M7 was wide open. If you want to avoid that circuit, you will have to "ring out" another open connector, It gets involved, but just follow a procedure. I can explain how to ring out a new one if you wish. (someone should do...

    What was done to your rig this week?

    This electrical system is getting quite involved... Finishing up the on-board air system. This is a Thomas 315CD air compressor feeding my air tank, and air chucks front and rear. It is mounted in the left-rear quarter panel to be out of the way.

    Jeep JK/TJ Led lighting info

    Seems pretty straight forward... just a little deciphering. The Yellow plug goes to the bottom plug on the LED pod. The female plug on the adapter cable can be cut. The White adapter wire goes to OEM Black The Red adapter wire goes to OEM White/yellow The Black adapter wire goes to OEM...

    Mistakes you've made while working on your Jeep

    Two non-jeep stories, cause my jeep babies are too precious to dish! Time to change the brakes on my girls MASSIVE 2001 F350 Triton V10 6.8L (Better mileage then her dads new F250 V8!), Only had a small cement pad to work on, Jack up the offending wheel and get it all apart. The other three...

    Jeep jk Battery Terminal

    Right off the bat, The nut closest to the lead terminal is the clamping nut. If you look underneath it, the nut is convex shaped, and there is a channel in the metal. That nut needs to slide along that channel as it is getting clamped down. Those accessories are removing its ability to clamp to...

    Yet Another Gearing Question

    2013 JKUS auto on Kanati 35" (34.5" actual) with 3.21:1? I have not found a single cross reference to whats going on in my differentials. - Build sheet from Jeep Site (linked) says 3.21:1 - Jacked up the rear and spun both tires once, drive shaft spins about 3 1/4 turns, sounds like 3.21:1 - at...

    What was done to your rig this week?

    Stirrups for the passengers and bull horns for some attitude. I'm thinking she should be called "Borracho del Torro"!

    Random Willys of the day

    Going back through the awesome history here, this small feature caught my eye. The keychain on this GPW would seem innocuous, and frankly out of place... Except it is the same color scheme as the Vietnam ribbon award. Nice touch.

    Mounting rear work light.

    Nice setup! That looks like a GPS antenna too? How have you mounted your switches? Here's an idea for the switches I mounted mine on a post that extends up to the roof

    Ebayazon LED headlight taken apart.

    I've heard of people using fabric dye in the epoxy, RIT is a popular brand. You could experiment with coloring the elements with different types of markers before casting as well. I had a DVR camera in my windshield that had very bright LEDS. I took apart the camera and covered the LED and the...

    Thoughts on power inverter

    I've used my inverter on occasion, not very often though. This setup uses a 400 watt Harbor Freight inverter. Pretty small for my needs, but I cant argue with free. thats only 3 amps at 120V, so 33 amps at 12V. I used some 8 gauge jumper cable wire to get the power back there. That should...

    The utility of a snorkel

    What about Prefilters? I can see them being useful in dry climates in-line with the stock filter box. These clear ones use a vortex to fling the dust out of the air. You see them mostly on farm tractors. Rugged Ridge sells a set that puts it on the top of their snorkel. I would like to do...

    ATTENTION: Know Your Jeep JK Wrangler Coolants and Save Your Engine!

    The purple dye was a half-arsed idea. Yea, it distinguishes the different fluids... but not always. If you shine a light down into the reservoir, the dye won't reflect, and you will see orange. If you shine a light THROUGH the coolant, the dye will work then. This is brand new OAT full...

    Arduino Based Switch Panel?

    Certainly doing a manual wiring job can get complicated real quick. If I were to use a microcontroller, I would definitely put the relay modules closer to the loads. That would reduce the massive bundles of wiring heading everywhere. SDG, I like the PIC idea. I lack the patience to develop a...

    LED cube taken apart. Interesting.

    My thoughts exactly. Ill bet the extruded body is the most expensive part. though I guess even that gets cheaper in large quantities. Other than QA, I dont see much of a difference between a decent chinese set and an expensive name-brand set. Since its not a life saving feature, even QA doesn't...
