    Engineering / Fresno CA

    This seems like an interesting / good idea. I’m not 100% sure that posting all of the requested information here is in conformance with company policies about recruiting, so I’ll limit to this: I still have Engineering Intern openings for Summer 2024 within a short commute of Fresno / Clovis /...

    Any JK ABS failures?

    So, I’m at my wits end. I may be making irrational decisions. A few weeks ago my 2014 JKUR at about 162k miles suddenly started sounding a chime and flashing a bunch of warning lights while driving on twisty mountain roads. It would cut power, the Speedo would fall toward zero, and various...

    TPMS? Battery life?

    So, multiple questions: I have a 2014 JKUR, it just turned 160,000 mostly fun miles today. I think new tires are in order, yet while examining some fault codes for a hopefully unrelated issue, I found B210A - system voltage low. I’m thinking this has something to do with the 5 sensor...

    CVT Denali Mattress - Fresno, CA - Offer

    I replaced the factory mattress in my CVT Denali with exped mats and I think the original can go now. Pickup only, Fresno CA, make me an offer. Anti-condensation mat is also included. I plan to accept offers in the relative range from 12-pack of barley soda to bottle of red grape juice. Not...

    Harbor freight coupons?

    Does anyone know if Harbor Freight still puts out the general %off one item coupons? I haven’t seen any in a very long time, and everything on the web seems to be specific to single items.

    Solar PV wire recommendations?

    Anyone who has designed or built their own solar system, either mobile or fixed, have any recommendations for PV wire brand and supplier? I’m facing total degradation of the insulation on my home panel array, and have discovered the people that built it did so with standard THHN laying in the...

    Anyone used commercial carpet tile in RTT?

    I’m thinking about drastically reducing the mattress size in my RTT, leaving some open floor space that will be basically just diamond plate aluminum. I would like to see that covered with something “nice” and was considering using commercial peel-and-stick carpet tiles directly on the...

    Pros and Cons - Tire Plug Installers

    Last night I found myself in an interesting situation. I scored a 1-1/2” Self Tapper straight through my Kenda RTs tread block. Since I noticed the head after hearing it tick on the highway, I thought I would simply plug it still on the Jeep and save some time in the 105 degree heat… insert...

    FJ40 Engine Accessory Brackets? Pics or drawings?

    Hey there Toyota fans! I got a oped into finishing a half-hack-job overhaul of a 1970 FJ40. My friend really wants to keep the original 6 cylinder engine. I believe it is an “F” engine. Someone has really messed up the brackets on the engine to make a horrible power steering conversion, and...

    Anyone ditched a Max Coupler in favor of a pintle?

    So I love my max coupler for a few characteristics. It is tight, quiet, follows nicely, and articulates like a mad dog. However, it is such a pain to align for connection, and to unload the pin for disconnection (I have no other driver, so it is all solo), that I am thinking I need something...

    Show off your partner steel in Cali?

    Hi, Recent events have me thinking about takin the dive into a 22” cook partner stove, but with prices approaching the equivalent of an actual kitchen range top, I’m a little wary of buying sight unseen. Anyone in central California or the north side of LA / Ventura county willing to take an...

    Theory of Battery Chargers

    Okay, so this is as much fireside chat as anything, because I’m not really making a technical decision, but some of you folks seem pretty technical, and I’ve always wondered: Considering the standard American home garage battery charger, 2A/10A/30 or 50 Jump. There is usually a %Charge gauge...

    Show your Jerry Can Modifications or Equivalents?

    So I’ve been starting to run low on projects and thinking about new ways to waste my time and money while avoiding the stuff my wife wants done. I realized that a lot of my hard mounting points are designed to accommodate 20L NATO cans. This brings me to ideas of either modifying Jerry cans to...

    2014 Torque Converter Problems?

    I realize this probably gets much more traction in a JK forum, but I do not have a membership at this time. I'm having a strange transmission issue, it appears to be worsening, and I'm hoping to collect some opinions prior to full-on destruction! 2014 JKUR, 121,000 Miles, Stock Size but 20-30%...

    Anyone replace a JK key?

    Not sure what happened, but my 2014 JK key fob is destroyed, it appears to be filled with oil or maybe the battery leaked. The circuit board disintegrated. The dealership wants $180 for the part, $180 for the labor, and taxes and whatnot… say $400-450. Amazon has 2 for $32 and I already have...

    Interesting? RV battery mount?

    I suppose one could always do this to mount a house battery... it probably isn’t stolen or damaged more than once every few weeks.

    CVT Rainfly Leaks

    Hey all, I have a CVT Denali Summit series that I bought used last summer. Over the winter, I discovered that even in a relatively light rain the fly leaks pretty badly, leading to a huge pool up on the extended cover of the tent. I wasn’t ever able to track it exactly, but it seems that the...

    Anyone removed an anti-condensation mat?

    I think I’m on my 4th soft shell folder tent. Currently a CVT summit series. This is the first one that has ever had an anti-condensation mat. I always thought I wanted/needed one, and was excited to get this. However, it is ridiculously stiff, keeps the mattress folded annoyingly when...

    Modifying CVT Annex Connection

    I recently moved into an extended CVT Denali. It is the first tent I’ve owned with an annex. I’m not really a fan of having to pull the travel cover to hang the annex, so I turned it around. This had a few benefits, including rolling the cover up and not removing it for setup, and a much...
