    Garmin map50csx or Delorme PN40

    I am wanting to buy my first Gps unit and I need some advice. The primary use will be for navigation while hiking with my wife and kids. It would be nice to know our distance from trailhead or to our destination. I also would use the altimeter to know elevation gain/loss. I have heard that...

    Daily driver shocks for 1999?

    For about the same price as the bilsteins, you could also get Old Man Emu shocks. I have the OME shocks and HD springs on my 01. Gives a firm and controlled ride esp on rough roads. I spend a fair amount of time on craptastic logging roads and wouldn't want any other suspension under my Jeep...

    Worlds best ratchet???

    I often do scaffold erection on commercial/industrial jobs. The systems I work with require lots of tube clamps with 7/8 nuts to assemble. For ratchets, we all use Snap-on ratchets made just for scaffold with mid well sockets riveted to the 1/2 drive. We hang on these things (I am over 300#)...

    #16a Saddle Up - News and Updates

    Hello, most of you do not know me, my name is Matt. I am a Forestry student at Centralia College. Some have mentioned a need to create a good working map of this trail/trail system. Well, I am learning to use ArcGIS right now and I have my own copy of the software (retail about 15k). Meaning...

    Dead horse: OME rear leaves, owners chime in

    On my 01, I have the mediums all around with OME shocks. Gave me about 2 in. in front and 2.5 rear lift. I absolutely love the way they ride and handle. I use my Jeep for everything from running quick errands around town to 50+ mile back country adventure and even moderate trails. I am running...

    Old Man Emu kit Q's

    I have had two sets of Toyo ATs on my Jeep, 30x9.50 and 3x10.50. Do not buy Toyo tires! Wet surface traction is very poor, tread life is low, price is very high. Even when aired down to 15 psi on the 31s, offroad traction sucks. There are many other tires that cost less and perform better. On a...

    Suns - Blazers - NBA Fans?

    I am so impressed with the Blazers ability to overcome constant adversity this season and keep winning games. It is quite unfortunate that they have had so many injuries this year however, I believe that played a major role in how well this team plays together. Regardless of how the Blazer, Suns...

    How much can stock springs sag?

    How many miles are on the 01? If the miles are not excessive, and the price is reasonable, they could be a good option versus new springs. Try to find a good deal on new shocks as well. As for sag, yes both fronts and rears can sag a few inches easily. If you have any doubts about the...

    Sometimes turns but doesn't start

    Your RENIX Jeep has numerous grounds throughout the engine bay, under the dash, behind the taillights, etc. It sounds like you need to make an afternoon project of finding ALL of the grounds on your Jeep, disconnect them, scrub the wire end and body connection with baking soda and water and a...

    A proper non-budget 2" lift?

    I run the OME H.D. 2.5in lift with OME shocks on my 2001. I have never once regreted going OME. Curently I have 31x10.5 tires and they do rub some (need to bump stop more). For the size of tire you intend to run and for mostly onroad driving I think you will be fine with the light duty OME lift...

    Cheap driveshaft for SYE (and general driveline questions)

    Again, look at IRO. You can buy the h&t alone for $120 then source a used front shaft locally for about $20. Carefully inspect or replace the U joints in the used shaft and you will be good to go for about $150. Matt:yelclap:
