By what mechanism would one damage the z array fuses while doing the neg cable+F42 pull aux delete? Seems like we’ve seen this issue when folks were tackling a full aux removal or aux replacement where you have disconnected pos cables possibly shorting to the body. But seemingly with just the...

It also might matter on which wheels you have. I kept my sport stock wheels and got a 5th from eBay for $80 and got 5 better tires. If you have nicer rims, that 5th one can be pricey. If you don’t do the 5 tire rotation, still want to drop/raise the spare once in a while as there have been...

There are couple of additional benefits to 5 tire rotation though. If you’re only ever having those 4 tires on the ground, when you do need your spare due to a puncture, it’s going to be of a different diameter than the other 3. Rotating it in regularly ensures it wears at the same rate as the...

…if your bed has sufficient open space. Many different use scenarios for a Jeep, not all of them involve rock crawling or mudding with an empty bed. To the OP, HDPE plastic is pretty tough and slick, and more importantly easy to cut. Maybe consider fabricating something at home?

Have you noticed any additional wind noise?

Corrosion susceptibility is also a consideration for many of us in the northern states. Can’t imagine 40lb making a difference to someone, but being rust free for the life of the rack would to me.

I think that says 2029 in the letter text, but is very light.

Just a random pic from the internet, we’re right around $3 now

Almost every gas station in Wisconsin has 88 gas, which is 15% ethanol. It might be a regional difference. https://www.kwiktrip.com/unleaded88

When I installed my winch, I did try to get a before and after measurement, but had to move the truck before the project was completed. Assuming I got it back to the same spot where I took the before measurement, I dropped 1/4 inch after the install, but can’t be certain that is accurate due to...

Guessing you mean “should not change”? I am also curious on this topic. I put a winch+plate into my plastic bumper on my 22 sport. Added aluminum skids from quadratec, and typically have quite a bit of stuff in the bed. Wondering if I measure the bump stop distance now, how it would compare to a...

For me coming from stock sport shocks with no lift, they are quite a bit more firm. Very few miles on them yet so they may soften up still. Have not tried the fox shocks, but the OP might’ve

I used a ratchet strap to compress and hold the shocks at the approximate length on the garage floor (on a rubber mat) and only took another 30 secs once the top bolt was installed loosely to fiddle with the strap lever to get it to perfect length to slip the bottom bolt in. Then release the...

If the start/stop could have been implemented without the added cost of an Aux battery, I bet they would have done it in a heartbeat. Good to hear there have been no complications, but there must be some scenario that 1 battery can’t support?

Honestly can’t believe all the false info in this thread. The sport rear bumper is at least 200 lb and replacing it with a shiny new aluminum one would save a ton of weight. Unrelated follow up question, is your wife going to weight the OEM bumper after you remove it?

Update from my shock replacement: I have been unable to trigger the wobble on a few stretches of road where I previously had it pretty bad. At least in my case, it appears that the new bistein 5100s on all 4 corners have tamed the wobble. I def had signs of a bad shock before, but even after...

Not sure if you’ve come across this video, seems to be exactly what we’re experiencing. I’m with you, if you have signs of a bad shock, def have to replace that. But if that doesn’t solve it, these track bars don’t seem that expensive.

Another thing that occurred to me while I was checking things under the truck, was the sheer number of welds that we count on when we torque things down. If any one of those welds broke, you’d have slop in the system no matter how well you torqued things. I don’t have a lift, so on the garage...

Thanks for the video, I am experiencing the exact same symptoms, but my Jeep is stock height and suspension, 29k miles, except for replacing the stock tires with mild AT Cooper discoverer 255 75x17 AT3 SL a couple of years ago. The wobble just started with the colder weather at highway speeds...
