Hey folks, a reminder that the next club meeting is this Sunday at the Grotto Pizza in Dover! This is an early-bird meeting, it will start at noon instead of the usual 6pm. Be there or be square!
1159 N Dupont Highway, Dover, DE https://maps.app.goo.gl/vD7AwdbBoEQpY5xTA
Weather depending I'll be there and camping. There are a few people marked tentative on Facebook.
were is AOAA at
Looks like we missed the question! AOAA is the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area, located in Coal Township, PA. Their website is https://www.aoaatrails.com/
Usually the process is to unbolt the hood hinges and use the bolts supplied with the brackets to mount the brackets into the hood going through the hinges. Post the brackets and link to the product page if you have it and I'll try to find the instructions.
This is the one I got should I think about maybe selling it and going with a larger winch? Saw that whatevah recommended at least a 9k
WARN 103250 VR EVO Series Winch 8,000lb with Steel Cable
I'd keep it! That will do well for most situations, you'll only really need more power if you're buried in mud. If you think that's a possibility, pick up a winch kit (or assemble your own) that includes a pulley/snatch block, tree saver and a couple shackles. We should probably do a recovery class at some point down the road to teach some of the finer points, but essentially if you put the snatch block on a tree and run the winch line through it and back to your Jeep it will double pulling power. Quadratec has a kits to choose from or you can assemble your own. https://www.quadratec.com/cate…covery/recovery-kits-gear For a recovery kit, you'll want at minimum a 20-30' recovery strap (no metal hooks!), two 3/4" shackles, a snatch block and a tree saver (6-10' non-stretch strap).
Wow, you don't know the can of worms you just opened.
I don't really know if there is a "best" answer anymore. Warn is still the king of electric winches. So if you want the best, look at them. Other name brands in that ballpark are Milemarker, Ramsey and Superwinch. In the last 10 years we've seen a influx of chinese-production winches of varying quality, but the quality of most of them have really improved in the last few years. I really like the Quadratec winches personally but the Harbor Freight Badlands winches are very popular lately. Things to look for... pulling strength (9000lb minimum for a JK), cable type (steel cable vs synthetic rope), cable length, fairlead type (roller vs smooth), and integrated or offset control body (affects ease of mounting and waterproofing).
If you're just looking for a decent affordable winch, I'd look at the Quadratec stealth series. Their 10,000lb winch with steel cable is a nice option, I really like that the remote control can be either wireless or wired. https://www.quadratec.com/p/qu…winch/10000lb-steel-cable
What are your goals for your Jeep this year? Mine should be dragging a travel trailer to Utah for a few weeks and spending lots of time on the trails there. I want to give it a 2" lift and 35" tires but that'll adversely affect the towing performance. On the flip side, the lift kit has been sitting in the garage for a year already...
Welcome welcome! Any plans for the JL or will you keep it mostly stock?
Hey guys, HornBlasters is supporting DEJA this season by sending a cool item for our members dinner giveaways. Be sure to check them out and return the favor if you need any air horns or compressor kits. They have a wide variety of systems but even have custom kits for the 4-door Wranglers, check them out here: https://hornblasters.com/pages…or-jku-jlu-jeep-wranglers
I think there are a few of us here that like the long distance, offroad exploration style stuff. I do mine mostly out west these days, but wish you luck and a great time!

Cleaning up my garage a bit, have 2 5-760X ujoints... anyone need them? My Gladiator doesn't need these. I think one is missing the clips. Free to a club member, I'm located near Prices Corner (19808). Send me a PM or reply here if you want them.
Registration deadline is this weekend, sign up now if you haven't already!
Assuming you already bought them, you can install them yourself. I've done it more than once in the parking lot at work. You'll need a trim tool or a wide flat-head screwdriver to remove the grill clips, and a Torx screwdriver (forget the size to remove/reinstall the headlight trim ring. Then use a T15 torx (JK) or phillips screwdriver (JL) to adjust the headlight (it'll be aimed higher or lower than the original lights).
If you don't have any tools or time to do it, any auto shop can swap out the lights, you don't need a Jeep specific shop.
Maybe I did the same thing Tonka did? I followed this link to renew my membership:
I filled out the form thinking I'd get to somehow mark it as a renewal but never did.
Can someone point me in the right direction for a membership renewal?
oy, I just noticed that... it was a typo in Steve's post. Sorry about that, I just glossed over the post since I already knew the details.
