    The Dreaded Wabble?

    I thought that Ox lockers had a failsafe embedded so that if the cable broke, they would default to the open diff position. I could be wrong, or it could be broken. Have you called the folks at Ox to see if they can help?

    Transmission questions...

    Flush, fill, and new filter might help. Hopefully, there isn't any damage to the internals of the transmission. Even though you have fluid, if the filter is clogged then the fluid isn't going any where fast. When you remove the pan, be sure to check for metal chips in the filter or on the...

    Extending spare tire bump stops for different offset rims and larger tires

    Wow...you did have to extend quite a ways. Would've take 2 or 3 stoppers to make that distance. If you aren't happy with the PVC color, can't you spray paint them black? Krylon makes a plastic paint.

    Opinions on Xenon 4" Flat Fender Flares...

    Was wondering if anyone had experience with these. Love the look of my Sahara with the painted flares, but they've taken a beating over the years (rock chips, scratches, and tire rub). I love the flat fendered look, but wonder if they're as tough as advertised (and if they really take to...

    Gas Milage Woes in an '05 4.0

    Auto or manual transmission? I rarely get better than 15 round town with my 4-speed auto, maybe 18 on the highway. I have seen it as low as 13 and 10, though. An O2 sensor could be bad, causing the computer to add more fuel to the mix than you need. Also, if you have an auto, try a flush and...

    Driving lights wiring...do they HAVE to go through the headlights?

    Found the plug you were talking about, Steel. I was a few inches below the brake master cylinder. Since it was rubber, I just drilled a hole through the center and used it as a grommet. And I ended up wiring the lights to the 20 amp fuse for the cigarette lighter instead of the headlights. I...

    Extending spare tire bump stops for different offset rims and larger tires

    Here's what I ended up doing: Bought 2" X 1.5" rubber stoppers from the hardware store (3), and longer screws (2") with a matching thread pattern. Drilled holes through the stoppers, then mounted the stock rubber on top of them. Parts were around $12. Quick, cheap, and easy. See photos attached.

    Driving lights wiring...do they HAVE to go through the headlights?

    Yeah, JPM, they give you the option to wire into the low beams or high beams. They don't have those sort of inspections here in Augusta, so I'm not worried about that. I just think it'd be simpler to wire straight from the battery to the relay then the switch. Just didn't know if they would work...

    Driving lights wiring...do they HAVE to go through the headlights?

    Just bought a set of Hella 500 driving lights. Wiring diagram shows them being wired through the headlights (high beam/low beam options). Do they HAVE to be wired with the headlights, or can I just run them through the battery, relay, then to the switch? (To come on whether the headlights are...

    Tires

    Pro-Comp's all-terrain tires are pretty quiet on the street, as well. I went from 30" M/T's to 32" A/T's, and I'm still getting used to the lack of roar from the tires. (Personally, I liked the noisy tires, but they didn't last very long.) Plus, Pro-Comp's A/T's have a severe weather rating. I...

    Wiper Blades

    RainX and Bosch have been the best for me...even under the blazing southern sun. But, like others have posted, decreasing the friction on the wiper blades helps them last longer. If you give the windshield a RainX coating every couple of months, it will help alot. Also, I manually adjust my...

    Extending spare tire bump stops for different offset rims and larger tires

    Hockey pucks??? Awesome! Not something I would have thought about...very clever. I did find some solid rubber stoppers at the local Ace hardware store in the fasteners aisle...think I'm going to use those under the stock bump stops. Plan to drill holes, test the fit and cut as needed, then...
