    Jeep YJ Frame Rot.

    The Jeep is fixed and back on the road. Had the fuel tank dropped and new rear frame sections welded in and painted/undercoated. Cost me 200 dollars for both sides. I think that was a good price for a quality welding job.

    89 YJ Stuck in 4wd!

    The rubber hose on the front axle/differential is a breather hose. the other end should be attached high on the firewall to keep water from getting in.

    New Tires

    Thanks. I only put about 3000 miles on the Jeep a year. Mostly logging and power line trails around here. Hardly any rocks. Mostly hill climbs and mud holes. 3 hours fourwheeling = 3 days of cleaning. Washing the axles and frame.

    Smittybilt XRC Winch Free Spool

    I have the Smittybilt XRC winch and it is a pain to free spool. I searched online and found that this winch uses really cheap grease. I plan on taking it apart this weekend and cleaning out all the old grease. What is a good quality grease I should use? I was thinking Mobil One synthetic.

    I shopped around this evening and decided on the Optima Yellow Top. Just installed it and the Jeep starts right up. Hope it will last with the winch.

    Better Battery

    My red top Optima finally died after 6 years. Time to replace it. I have heard that the newer Optima batteries are now made in Mexico. Many people on the message boards say the quality has gone in the toilet. What is a better AGM battery to use with a winch?
