Weathertech Window Guards on the JKU!

Fan and Controller Installation for my DC Charger!
Просмотров 1012 месяца назад
I've noticed that the temperature in my Renogy DCC50S DC-DC Charger has been going above the max operating temperature. I had seen it do it before but with the recent "heat bubble" I noticed it again and started getting concerned. I decided to pull the trigger and order a fan and temperature controller to mount in the electrical box that houses the charge controller. My hope is that by dialing ...

Cold, Windy Camping at Blue Valley!
Просмотров 7696 месяцев назад
I headed back to Blue Valley to do that camp-n-hike! It was bit windy and chilly, though. You can’t tell it from the video as much of the wind stayed up high but enough would dip down into camp to let you know it was Winter! I highly suggest this as a great camp area. It’s known as a “campground” but most sites are fairly far apart, save for a cluster of 4 that are situated at an intersection. ...
Chasing the Jeep JKU Door Leak!

Well the leak has come back. It held well through some hard rains but I had a little bit of moisture in the floorboard after the last rain. A viewer pointed out that you should stop your weather stripping at the point of a "dimple" that is in the door jam which allows from some drainage. I had neglected to do that and didn't go back after their comment, opting to wait and see. I may have a bit ...
Checking Out Camping Opportunities on Blue Valley Road!
Просмотров 1779 месяцев назад
So I had been wanting to do a camp-n-hike out in the Blue Valley area of NC. Blue Valley Rd enters the area and becomes a forest road before entering the Blue Valley Experimental Forest, which lies at the base of a long ridge that runs from west of Osage Overlook over into Highlands, NC. There are great camping opportunities along the road and the spur up to the Glen Falls Lower Trailhead. Pick...

      Yeah I use mine for the floor. This isn't a bad setup at all, esp for cold camping. The Little Buddy heater flat out heats that room up. I don't have this setup anymore as I have a 270 with walls. Not as closed in as this, though. I use a ground tent separately now.

    • @unclejoejeeps
      @unclejoejeeps Год назад

      Thank you! This is the Smittybilt SRC rack and I installed it with a buddy of mine. One reason I chose this rack is because it has a much higher static and dynamic load rating. Meaning it can hold 700lbs parked and carry 300lbs while driving. Not that you want to carry that kind of weight but it gives you lots of wiggle room if you want say a rooftop tent plus awnings.

    Why you can buy an adjustable ball joints?

    • @unclejoejeeps
      @unclejoejeeps Год назад

      You can buy what are essentially sleeves, as noted, and offset ball joints as well. They are "offset" from the center of the ball join bore which will glean you a few degrees of positive or negative camber. If it was determined that the C-knuckle was forged with a bit too much of pos or neg camber you could use an offset to get some degrees back. Also, some have noted that going to taller tires may also necessitate an offset as you understandably have an outer tire edge much further from the wheels center. But there's no a solution that would give you the kind of adjustability that IFS gives and it's not really necessary for a straight-axel system. It's just different geometry. Thanks for the comment!

The heat generated at those welds would pull the tubes off-plane and thus the tube wouldn't be perfectly straight.
