Kid who played ball with my son pretty much has that at this point, started out with a stock JK for his first car and in the last 2 years has gotten all the goodies for it. It's pretty cool besides that completely fucked front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty but no matter how much tension you will pull the rope down through the lays and cause excessive wear. When the drum is full it should look like garbage and jacked up if it’s sythetic.. How it’s wrapped is how steel line is wrapped.... synthetic is suppose to be wrapped like this so it doesn’t suck down through the other rope lays. You want to cross wind sythetic http://www.samsonrope.com/Pages/WindingRopeWinch.aspx Edited May 29, 2018 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the fenders finally fail inspection on the boys I'll prob run some sort of black tube fenders on them rather than throwing painted OEM's on. I was going to sell it this fall but have decided to say fuck it and just see how long the thing can last him through school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to cross wind sythetic http://www.samsonrope.com/Pages/WindingRopeWinch.aspx That jeep is brand new and the winch has never been used. When you actually use a winch in the field the angle you winch from decides how the rope will wind. Once you are done for the weekend or day you are supposed to uncoil the winch line, clean and inspect it and respool it appropriately. I always level wind the last 2 layers of winch line. Those are coming off the drum when you pull the line out so it makes no difference how those layers are wrapped on the drum. I use my winches almost daily during the summer when jeeping. Never once had an issue with wire or syn winch rope getting bound down into the spool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my god. You or anyone else in the market would be way better off with a 97-06 TJ. Way better motor, transmission, suspension, interior, airbags, body, etc. There is nothing about an old CJ that compares to a TJ and you dont have to spend $10g to get a decent TJ.

That depends on where you are. 8-10k is low end going rate in the lower 48 from the research ive done.. granted just web surfing but thats what im seeing. i am focusing more so on a square body pick ups.

Woodtick Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 You can buy a clean jeepster for 10k. A CJ would have to be about brand new for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not talking about a wheeled beater here folks. Im looking at clean, tight mall crawlers loaded up with shit. Of coarse i can find a well used farm cj or Tj for short money. Not what i had in mind to flip, ya know. i found an 81 tub in pretty fair shape for 5 hundred bucks. That would flip back east quick! Now to find a good P/U for a song and i can turn them both for a buck. Im headed to denton tomorrow to check out salvage harleys for S&G Edited May 30, 2018 by old indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people think a low miles mass produced vehicle is some kind of collector car. It reminds me of the HD craze. All of those fools trying to sell their HD for more than what they paid new.

AKIQPilot Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Got back to AK this morning in time do do a little work on the TJU. It rides and drives like new. I picked up a Blue Ox tow bar in Vegas last week. I brought home the Umbilical Cord that I got with the Moho last year. Wired the TJU with a diode kit from Hopkins. Brakes, Blinkers, Tail, and battery charge all communicate from the tow vehicle to the toad. This thing is fun to drive.
