He has the pages of the electrical service manuals that show where the connections are. They are in a Facebook chat with me. He would need the one for the crossbody harness and one that runs back on the drivers side.

Thanks for reminding me that I have those in our message chat. The others will be helpful too.

I ran it a couple times, it’s not braided as tight, always worked well for me. In my opinion I’m. It sure why it costs soooooo much less.

 

[ExTankerGuy]

Found some on Amazon as well. $100 for 3/8".

I think that's what Rob has been running on his Smittybilt for a couple years now. Cheap but works. I think he later found it like 40% and carries a spare now lol

I'm running the smittybilt rope on my winch, I have some of that eBay rope laying around because it was so cheap and I wanted to check it out. Haven't used it yet though.

Moab prep? No I just wanted to cover the dented quarters LOL:





What you wanna bet that I break those brand new tail lights on the first outing?

 

[need-a-bow]

Hmm Ive been thinking about these, but i really want tail light boxes. No fun cracking them

Same here. If they offered light boxes I would be on board. Eventually I will get JCR or ARES quarters with light boxes, I always seem to tag the p/s taillight at Redbird.

I'm using "Moab prep" as justification for all Jeep purchases this year

These are the ones I'll probably go with, and add tubee flares.

Back when I was cool, I built my own tail light boxes. They were grossly overbuilt n weighed as much as a boat anchor. They were similar to the Farmer Matt ones. Yeah, being cool long ago was kinda cool.

 

[need-a-bow]

Had to look those up. A thread from 04 came up, I think I was in third grade around that time....

Hahahaha i wondered who remembered farmer matt boxes

mac ‘good stuff’ gyvr

Ahhh, the early 2000's, that was my hay day, I was cut down in my prime.

Now I have a shop full of fab tools that collect dust. I guess I did sell my bender to Jessie though.

 

[need-a-bow]

Fab day at cheeseland?

Man, I am all out of the fab biz now a days, I just weld when something is broke around the farm. I have lost my spark on making Jeep stuff over the years. This vintage MX racing bug has me ate up, so my shop is full of vintage MX bikes and stand up jet skis. My mantra now a days is "mixing gas and hauling ass!".......well, at least until I get hurt again

Anyone have one of these? I was thinking of getting an HF vise and hitch mount, but that still adds up to around $100 for a 6" vise and 44Lbs.

This vise opens up 8" and only weighs 17lbs. So should be big enough to press out U joints. Still Im a cheap bastard, so figured Id ask if you guys got another alternative.

 

[macgyvr]

Thats pretty cool...and pricey

I made a plate and had a vice that i mounted on the back of my xj back when you were in grade school.

mac ‘only ever used it once’ gyvr

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Lol, we have had the same thing made for the farm/service truck for 20 years! Simple n effective.
