JEEPWERX CJ7 Buggy Style

i would venture they are not made to deal with temperature, moisture, dust, ect.


300 amps in an AC controlled test lab is diff than on a race car that gets power washed lol 

i will say the ones that give you data for different loads are typically higher quality, that have actually be tested / validated.


they do not list the duty cycle recovery time however. 




HF units are like 100 HF amps 

[etk300ex]

100A @ 3 sec

[mr.mindless]

100A @ 3 sec

1% duty, 5 min recovery.

I went with a marine shut off specifically because of the moisture issues we encounter.

My best guess after looking up my old switch on summit is that it's the Moroso 300 amp 2k surge model.

in 572 the two batteries are in the back- i ran ground to chassis, power up to disco supply.  power for winch is then connected to disco supply also.  keeps wire lenght down, only big "hot wire" running around you.

I like the idea of not running winch cables all the way to behind the passenger seat. (New location)
Thought it would help transfer some weight to the rear of the Jeep.
I'm focusing on getting jeep up and running now. Swapping battery cables and or shut offs  can be done later I guess if it becomes and issue.

I'm not even gonna post the size of my current ( no pun intended) disconnect switch.

Let's just say it must have been very inexpensive.
Same model worked fine in both our jeeps... no winch.

I'll give the new one a try can't be worse than the old one.
But def gonna need bigger power lead from battery to disconnect if I attach the winch.

the HF unit does not list a rating

[M4wdFab]

real radiator fans that draw 26amps static plus 4 other fans in the car is probably our difference

True true

I guess I should order some springs for my coilovers... Prob work better that way.

Where are you guys getting springs?

[JEEPWERX]

Looks like summit has QA1 for 33 dollars.
7" listed in catalog No 8"
Catalog doesn't list inside dimension either.

[JEEPWERX]

Current set up 16" in front
14" in rear
I may swap fronts to 14" but figured I'd decide after I test.

Found 8" in both 200 & 250 but No listing on site for 7 x 200
Was going to start with 200 over 250.
Unless you guys advise otherwise?

for 16" shocks you need a 18" and 16" spring

For 14" shocks you need a 16" and 14" spring.

What diamenter coilovers do you have?
