Sandbox Adventures

Sandbox Adventures

Sandbox Adventures is all about off-road fun in the Sandbox - our 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ rock crawler. Follow us as we traverse some of the most rugged trails America has to offer! And of course, since things don't always go as planned while climbing over giant rocks, you can expect DIY repairs and upgrades to the Sandbox to be a reoccurring theme on the channel.

    how did you repair the wire after stabbing it

  • @sandbox_adventures
    @sandbox_adventures24 күн бұрын

    The multi meter prong should be able to get a reading without actually puncturing the protective wire coating. But if it did, I’d use some electrical tape to cover it. If the wire somehow got really damage (very unlikely really), I’d splice it with a solder stick connection.

    Well, I'm a couple of days late getting to see your video, but as they say, better late than never. I really like the new jack, I would love to have one myself. You guys are ready for NASCR now. Been thinking about selling my old 88 XJ but haven't made up my mind. Don't get to ride it much these days and I hate to see it setting. Mom says don't get rid of it, so who knows. Y'all take care in this heat and next time you go on the trail think about this old man Preston and have fun!

Santa's going to have to leave something special for both of you under the tree this year. On a side note, Preston's smile in infectious and Mrs. Claus says Preston is "Just the cutest and most precious mechanic she's ever seen."

    Thank you for sharing the math on how much the stiffeners add to the frame. Curious as to how much variation that end result has based on how/where the stiffeners attach. Does that make much if any difference?

  • @sandbox_adventures
    @sandbox_adventures3 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the question, it’s a good one. And yes, it does make a difference where you add the stiffeners. Max deflection is typically near the center between your supports so that would be the ideal location for stiffeners but variation in your stiffness and where the load is applied (think rock crawler twisting and flexing and changing angles) can shift that max deflection around a lot. When we add our mid frame stiffeners, I think I might quickly cover how much welding is really needed.

    Can’t say for sure if I could tell the difference when we hit the trail later that day, but then again we still need to do the mid and front stiffeners and the trail was pretty mild without too much flexing. Preston said he could tell lol
