clutch question, manual tire changer question
When I have to someday replace my clutch in my TJ, are there any "heavy
duty" clutches I can get for it? Something that would grip a bit better
than stock? I noticed I can't pull vehicles too large outta sand without
burning my stock one up a bit.
Also, I've seen manual tire changers on the internet, are they worth a damn?
Or should I just buddy up with a tire shop here in town for swapping tires
on rims? I saw this one: http://www.wikco.com/Tire.html

Re: clutch question, manual tire changer question
Things that might help your clutch are a winch, and regearing the axles.
What gear ratio is it now? A clutch is not really designed to deliver power
while slipping. Really, there are two legitimate positions for the clutch
pedal, down and up.
I have used toy tire changers before. They are not much fun.

Re: clutch question, manual tire changer question
Dad had a tire changer he got from Harbor Freight, of all places, out
on the farm before he passed away 3 years ago. The particular one had
was pretty handy - after he did a lot of welding to set up a decent
base for it. Every other toy changer I've seen/used was more work to
use than a BMFH and a decent set of irons. Well worth a few bucks
just in the time you save by having a decently equipped shop do the
dirty work IMNSHO.
