recommend everyone get an arb bumper
Yeah, it could have been worse. This also happened last night in Toronto. The kj survived but the mazda and its occupants were not so fortunate. http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20081101/crash_york_081101/20081101/?hub=TorontoNewHome- icarl

Skid Row tranny skid pics
Yes, thanks. It looks like it does offer more protection. At least better than the mopar one.- icarl

Skid Row tranny skid pics
i've already looked for pictures. None show what i want to know and that is how well it protects the DS vulnerable areas like the dust boots. I can see from pictures it is wider and could potentially work but there isn't a good pic with it mounted.- icarl

Skid Row tranny skid pics
I'm mounting the mopar tranny skid plate today and noticed it leaves a lot exposed under the vehicle. Does anyone have a picture of the skid row tranny skid mounted under their vehicle? I would like to see how well it protects underneath. Specifically i would like to see how well it protects...- icarl

Arb
Nice. You seem to have a healthy amount of lift over those 265/75 tires. What lift are you running? Frankenlift?- icarl

Anyone ever used a Titan Air Jack?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0HOQJ0Molw They look good but i haven't have much luck with inflatables. I once went through 2 inflatable kayaks from Canadian Tire before giving up on them. They leaked while i was in the middle of the lake. Also, i had an inflatable bed that I spent more...- icarl

Anyone ever used a Titan Air Jack?
heres one from Canada: http://titanwinches.webs.com/snatchstrapxjack.htm These types of jacks would work better for those situations where a regular jack would be difficult to support like in soft mud or water.- icarl

4x2 vs 4x4. Need Help
Lots of times when i am coming up to the lights if i hit the brakes i will start sliding if its icy. However if i shift the auto into 2nd or 1st gear, depending on how fast i am going, the engine will slow me down and i will not slide as easy. However if i am going like 50 mph and i throw it...- icarl

4x2 vs 4x4. Need Help
This is true. However, you can help improve this by using winter tires and by putting some weight over the rear axle. The weight will give you more traction like the FWD has. The FWD has more traction because the engine is sitting on top of it. A better Solution - relocate the engine to the...- icarl

4x2 vs 4x4. Need Help
Engine braking in 4x4 or 4x2 does help you to skid less on sheer ice than brakes alone. The maximum stopping traction of a tire is when it is slightly skidding. But locked up on ice is easy to do with brakes. Engine braking helps control skidding easier. This is something abs tries to do as...- icarl

4x2 vs 4x4. Need Help
If you like the vehicle then what does it matter if its 4x2. If you want 4x4 trade it in on a 4x4. If you are worried about safety in light snow city driving you would probably do better to use winter rated tires than a 4x4 anyway. 4x4 helps you get going faster and helps a little around the...- icarl

Leveling Suggestions???
If all you want is the daystar lift then you should replace your rear shocks but it is not necessary to replace the front struts. Besides dampening all the rear shocks do is limit droop. So with longer springs then you will have less travel. So to restore that travel use longer shocks. In the...- icarl

Stiffer Springs
I just measured. I have less than 100 pounds of equipment in the back. If i take it all out it makes less than a quarter of an inch of difference. The difference in clearance between the top of the tire and the fender flares is 1.75" between the front and back. So to try and even it out i...- icarl

What about swapping in a set of these 4" lift coil springs from jeepinbyal. How stiff are these and would they work with OME long travel shocks?- icarl

265/70/17's and wheel spacers...
I understand what you guys are saying but i still disagree. You can buy spacers for the wheels that do the same thing as the washers (http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-7_32__Wheel_Spacers-491.aspx). Granted, the spacers do not provide any support which is why people use the spidertrax version that...- icarl

which kit???
OME lift - 2 to 2.5" lift. A modest or cheaper lift that still maintains an OME quality ride. Allows for tires up to 245/75 R16 or 31". This lift gives you less wear on driveline components and thus should be cheaper in the long run. Note: you can add spacers as needed to the lift to create...- icarl
