  Quick Release Windshield Hinges with Jeff Pollock For many years I wheeled with my windshield attached to the zook until that fateful day at Livingston, KY, when I endoed (rolled end over end) the vehicle forcing me to remove my windshield frame.

They provided their new Dash Mounted Winch Controls so that we would have full control at our fingertips without leaving the drivers seat. The control panel […]

      with Bill Johnston Installing a Winch In previous issues we installed an awesome winch bumper from ShrockWorks and followed it up with a YJ front spring conversion that worked seamlessly with the bumper. But you can’t install a winch bumper without actually installing a winch, can you? It was great as a […]

      ACS Linings Vortex Spray-in Tub Liner With Bill Johnston My Samurai is older than some but newer than most of what we see on the road here in the United States, but after years of fun on the trails the carpeting had lived long past its prime. Wear spots, tears and tufts […]
