nuts.jpg Nuts and Bolts about Fasteners, Chapter Two - Nuts
In this installment of our discussion about fasteners, we'll travel into the boring but equally as critical properties of nuts and washers. We'll show you the different types of nuts that are common to our assemblies and modifications.
Exploring "Two Tracks" in the Arizona Desert
Every now and again between modifications, repairs and maintenance we get the urge to go hit the dirt, finding new and revisited off road sites. In this article we hope to rekindle the urge to just day trip and explore your hometown back roads!
disassembled.jpg Project Comanche- Gearing and Locker
The Comanche labored to turn the previous 30" tires; the new 33" tires were hopeless. The larger diameter, increased weight, and greater rolling resistance all combined to toss a virtual anchor behind my Comanche. At least the solution to this problem was easy to come by: new differential gears. And since the differentials had to be disassembled, it seemed like the perfect time to add an ARB Air Locker to the mix.
NWMP 32-Gallon Replacement Gas Tank in a Cherokee XJ
Five gallon Jerry cans are a common accessory on Jeeps. I don't have the room for an extra can on my Cherokee XJ, but I still want the reserve fuel. With a new Northwest Metal Products 32-gallon replacement gas tank from Rocky Road Outfitters, I can carry three extra cans of gas!
Project Comanche - Fixed Yoke Kit
The Comanche driveline gets an update with the addition of an SYE kit. Installing a suspension lift and big tires has an effect on every related component and will often find your vehicle's weakest link and exploit it. If this happens out in the wilderness, it can make for a long day. I'll take the convenience of floorjacks and air tools instead of blocking the middle of the trail.
