Random Link: links4jeeps.com > Storage Jerry Can Modifications Submitted 582 day(s) ago on 07/21/04 by themajor Tired of your "Blitz" can not blitzing very fast? Finding yourself holding your jerry can forever as the gas slowly trickles into your tank? Wait no more, as this easy inexpensive fix will have the gas flowing like it should. What this fix will do is replace that tiny air hole with a larger hole and will prevent massive amounts of fuel from spilling onto the ground or all over the side of your vehicle.

Hi-Lift Handle Keeper
Submitted 2 day(s) ago on 02/21/06 by kizer
Since Hi-Lifts have been around they have been one of two things. A great poor mans recovery gear and a dangerous tool if not used correctly that could hurt you if not used correctly. I've seen countless times where somebody has used the jack to lift their vehicle and never held the handle taking a chance that the handle was going to stay in the place where it was left. For a few years I've kept a piece of rope on my handle to tie off my jack when/If I had to use it.

I was talking with Jerry over at FatBoysOffroad, which is very close to Hi-Lift themselves. A product has been out for a while and thought I should take a look at it. A few days later this package arrives and its a single piece of Poly cut out to fit the Hi-Lift Jack. Of course I threw it on and my initial thought was well it fits. Ok now what? A piece of rope can do the samething. So can a bungee cord or a piece of velcro. Not Even!

LED Fast Flasher Relay Fix 2000 TJ

When I first installed my LED tail lights I knew I would have a fast flasher and I would eventually take care of it. Little did I know that after 2weeks of fast flashers people behind me where more annoyed than I was in the cab.

Very Cheap - Portal axle on trailer

If you are anything like me, I like cheap but good stuff. GM makes decent equipment (OK, I love Chevy and GM stuff) that can be put onto Jeeps and Jeep accessories easily (and cheaply from the auto-wreckers).

DIY Oil Catch Can for Jeep 4.0L Engine
Submitted 12 day(s) ago on 02/11/06 by themajor
When combustion occurs, small amounts of combustion gases leak past the piston rings (blow-by) and down into the sump. These gases accumulate inside the crankcase and unless they are scavenged, the pressure inside the crankcase increases causing oil seals (especially the crankshaft rear main seal) and gaskets to leak. Vapours of unburnt fuel from the combustion process also accumulate and unless these are removed, they contaminate the engine oil and cause it to break down.
The oil/air mist is sucked out from underneath the valve cover by the vacuum in the intake manifold. It passes through a pipe that communicates between the grommet at the rear of the valve cover and the manifold, where it is directed into the cylinders and burnt. Filtered, fresh air is drawn into the crankcase from the airbox through a pipe that joins onto the grommet at the front of the valve cover.

Jeep 231 Transfercase and SYE leak fix
Submitted 36 day(s) ago on 01/18/06 by kizer
On my last trip down to Tillamook state forest in Oregon, climbing up a rocky, muddy hill I was bouncing around pretty good and wacked my rear diff a few times. I got out and noticed what appeared to be some red fluid. I shrugged my shoulders and figured it was either the guy in front of me or I must have a small leak. Needless to say after getting out of what I was in and parked at the top of the trail I smelt burning Transfercase fluid. Looked under my Jeep and sure enough I was leaking. I feared the worst. Oh, NO we are going to loose the Transfercase on the trail. I was really worried since its never leaked before so of course I was a bit excited.

One of the guys with me suggested that possibly my vent was clogged and blew free or I was leaking out from the rubber washer behind the yoke. At first I thought he was totally nuts and wouldn't accept that answer. Reached the top of the trail head and after a while we ended up at the staging area. I barrowed some Transfercase fluid and make sure it was topped off. Drove my Jeep over to a friends house for the evening before returning home the next day. I was to address my leak as soon as I got home.

Needless to say there wasn't a leak anymore and hey it must of been a fluke? WRONG, a month later I was doing some playing at work and climbing a hill or two and when I got back home there was a puddle of what looked like Transfercase fluid under my Jeep. Ive determined in my mind it must be when the Jeep is climbing, which puts pressure on the rubber star washer allowing the leak. Ok, this is it, Im mad. Im going to figure this out yet. I did some looking at below is what I found out. Needless to say. I was wrong and the little rubber star washer was the bad person.
