Snatch straps and winch cables hold a significant amount of energy, and if they break all of that energy is released at once. A snatch strap will easily fly from one vehicle to the next in under a second, and there is no way you can get out of the way. As a general rule, everyone except both drivers in a recovery needs to be at least 20 metres away. This ensures that even if the strap or cable does break, no one is in range of the deadly missile. Secondly, make sure that dampeners are used. Two are ideal, and make sure that they aren’t very heavy. A towel works extremely well. These are designed to stop the cable … Read the rest

On Board Air Compressor

A Jeep on board air-compressor is a must have for any serious Jeep off-road driver because it serves a couple very important purposes. The first purpose for the onboard air-compressor is to help re-inflate the tires in case of an emergency. In addition, depending on the terrain, tire pressure varies to provide the best ground coverage and traction for the type of terrain present. With that being said, it is important to have an air-compressor onboard to inflate or deflate your tires to the proper pressure for the terrain.

Once an air-compressor is installed on your Jeep, another great accessory that compliments the air-compressor is the hookup kit. There are several good ones on the market. … Read the rest

The engine

Being not a twin but single turbo, one might be inclined to think problems of eliminating lag without resorting to an anti-lag system (ALS) arise. You would be very wrong to think so. The Si4 petrol engine is an alluminium lightweight unit that is so quiet that you might forget there is an engine up front. Direct injection may be a long forgotten term or totally new to the younger generation who hadn’t the chance to drive a directly injected truck with a tougher-than-life steering wheel, but this tremendous SUV doesn’t shy away from going back in time. It uses the latest direct injection and advanced turbocharging resulting to an authoritative pulling power coupled with clean and smooth … Read the rest

Using a Roof Rack

Posted on by

Roof Racks are designed to carry bulky, but light weight items. Remember that the bulkier the item, the worse your fuel economy is going to be. However, if it means that you can take the item with you as a pose to leaving it at home most people will pay the extra fuel.

How to Balance Tires

Posted on by
  • Get rid of any previous wheels weights that are present on the wheel, since they pose a great challenge when it comes to wheel balancing. Then place the wheel and the tire on the balancer by way of inserting the shaft through the wheel hub and leaving it in place, bearing in mind that the wheel has to be centered on the balancer.
  • The next step is to gently spin the wheel in the balancer. During this procedure you will notice that the heaviest part of the wheel is being drawn to the bottom and the lighter part on the top. Give it time to settle in position, and then place a mark on the lightest part of the tire.
