  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Winch and Battery Issues

    I'm 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999% sure that tag we see is a negative symbol and that the cables are installed backwards. That jacketing over the one cable is to prevent chaffing from every day vibrations and to prevent the accidental grounding of a hot lead to the chassis. I don't...

    Winch and Battery Issues

    Looks like you have positive and negative cables hooked up to the incorrect terminals on your battery. I have a X20 10K winch also and IIRC the cable with the jacketing on it should be hooked up to the positive terminal. Unfortunately, I am in Colorado at the moment and my Jeep is in Ohio so I...

    Jerry Can, Rotopax, etc. which do you like?

    My Hi-Lift Jack mount and Rotopax carrier are one of the modular accessories offered by Maximus-3 that are for their Jeep JK spare tire mount. It works well located where it is and makes use of the space between the spare tire and the hi-lift jack very well. If I want, I can remove the jack and...

    Why you need to buy a quality Handheld (Portable) radio.

    Well so far they aren't saying anything about my Jeep so I am happy with that. Back on topic. Since I am working for the next couple of weeks in Las Vegas I went to Gigaparts and bought an HT unit. I got a Kenwood TH-D74A tri-band. It was a lot of money up front, but at least I am not...

    Why you need to buy a quality Handheld (Portable) radio.

    I am new to the Ham radio world and will be taking my technicians test in a couple of weeks. I am thinking about this: for use on the trail in my Jeep Wrangler 4 Door. I currently have a Uniden 520XL CB in it with a 4' Firestick. I have about 1.2:1 SWR across 1, 20, and 40. I know that if I...

    Jeep Owners Represent!

    This is my '17 Hard Rock. I'm hoping to take it to Rausch Creek and take a few of their offroading classes in a few weeks before heading out into the wild with it.

    New from Ohio

    Hello, New here and from N.E. Ohio. Not necessarily new to overlanding but not a veteran either. Always wanting to learn something new and I figure this place would make a good addition to the Jeep forums I am on. Been to Moab a couple of times but had my F350 and it had 6000 pounds of tools...
