web non-sense : blog on web design, photography, music and jeeps

Many jeepers are looking for ways to mount their hi-lift jack on their Jeep. I decided that I wanted to keep mine as far away from Mother Nature as possible, especially with all the salt that goes on our streets in the winter time.

So with that in mind, I found out that many were mounting it behind the backseat on the rollcage. Found a few write-ups and went on from there. Notably one found on JonFund.com with a few modifications since I didn’t have a welder.

Here’s what it looks like:

The SAAQ clearly states in their special documents for modified vehicles that:

“La partie supérieure de chaque roue doit être recouverte d’une aile sur toute la largeur de la bande de roulement.”

In english that would translate to

“The higher part of each wheel must be covered with a wing over all the bandwidth of bearing.”

As you can see from this picture, my tires stick out at about 1″ to 1 1/2″

Are your Jeep flares loosing their luster? Black looks more like washed-up gray?

There’s a really easy fix for that. It’s called Krylon Fusion paint cans. Seriously!

What you’ll need:

1. 3 cans of Krylon Fusion Black Satin paint cans
2. Very light sand paper

I actually started blogging more seriously back in 2003 or around that time. I had a few Jeep write-ups then which I found out through WP.com stats that I’m still getting referrers from various Jeeps forums so… with that in mind I decided to “revive” some of my old posts (there’s still in the database collecting dust).

Now I need to find all the pictures that were associated with all those write-ups and put them up on flickr so I can reference them again.
