Preparing for and Surviving a Rollover
You may not be planning to roll your pride and joy, but not being prepared is the biggest mistake you can make. If you are a regular four-wheeler, we’ve found that it’s probably not a matter of if you’re going to roll over, but when

Raingler Net in WJ
Raingler's Cargo Net systems are very popular on the TJ's that I have seen and since I no longer have my TJ and now a WJ, that extra space needs to be just as safe, since extra gear as well as my two dogs need to be restrained in the rear....

When I received the Rock Hard roll cage it was packaged in a single box and came in an unfinished state. After a thorough inspection I was very satisfied with the quality of the craftsmanship. The welds were tight with good penetration and all welds were uniform with no spatter.

Rolling over- be prepared
Rolling over
This is one event that most people don’t ever want to do, at least not in their own rig.
Here are some tips on how to survive and recover the vehicle safely.
So you screwed up on a line, or just slid off the line. There is that point when you realize “Well, here it goes – I’m going to roll”.
First step – being prepared before it happens.

Vehicle Fires
Vehicle fires usually start in one of three places:
1. The engine compartment, from fuel or
oil leaks.
2. Under the dash, from electrical shorts.
3. The back seat, from lighted cigarettes.

Wilderness Survival Tips
But don't make the mistake of thinking that being in a survival situation would be fun. Wilderness Survival is not a game, there is no reward challenges, and there is no immunity. How do you think you would fare in a survival situation? Could you build a shelter? Could you light a fire without matches? Could you forage for food and purify water?

Winter 4-Wheeling Tips
In theory, and using computer models developed by engineers, the 4WD drivetrain is 4WD. All four tires get some amount of torsional relationship via the drivetrain. In reality, it is only two tires (when the transfer case is in 4WD mode) getting the full benefit of power application from the engine. I’m not here to start a debate about how much torque goes to which tire, but to shed some light about traction conditions when driving what a majority of people think is really 4-wheel drive!
When in 4WD mode on the snowy, icy highways, the vehicle can stop no better than before. The increased traction and forward control (to a degree anyway) is actually reduced by the lack of stopping power due to road conditions. Driving like we have all the traction in the world only gets us in the ditch, upside down, in the guard rail, under a trailer rig and usually in a lot of trouble!
Sitting up high should offer us better reaction time than the average Honda Accord. gives us a false s
