Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Put the jeep on a diet by pulling out all of these unnecessary parts. A keen eye will recognize why these parts are all coming out. Still a couple more tomorrow then it'll go back together......in a brisk 32* garage. Rear ds is already on the table for a rebuild and the front needs full replacement. I don't think the TF rzeppa kit can save it.

If not there is a small spacer I can remove.

I have not flexed it yet, but I don't believe I will have any clearance issues. It's really kind of amazing how well the 4 door swallows 37's.

Agreed...they fit the 4 door just right to me. I installed the poison spyder crusher flares. So much room I went with the 37s too. Loving the new look on your baby! Awesome...sweet lift kit too. I have the 3.5in Rubicon Express Kit. You talked me into that Teraflex lift if I happen to need the extra 1/2 inch.

Fixed the latest round of codes and problems. I remember:

Rear wheel speed sensor
Dynamics sensor
Fuel pump pressure high

So I had no ABS or traction control (which has been surprisingly enjoyable for the last few months, I'll probably turn it off more often) and most recently the fuel pump would randomly cut out either shutting the engine down or not letting it start. That's what necessitated the fix, can't have the Jeep quitting on the highway or not starting. Turns out these three circuits share a loom that's artfully placed between the drag link and frame.



You can see this isn't the first time I've caught this harness, the last round of splices are up top. I'm sure stock it's not a problem but with the drag link flip it gets a lot closer when the wheels are turned passenger with some flex. I have the SteerSmarts drag link which has the big screw clamps, the bolt head was just brushing the frame, with the harness in between. The yellow wire was cut and that big ground was mashed up and probably not grounding everything so well. I spliced them back together for now but I plan on moving the loom over the crossmember to keep it out of the way.

ABS, TC and CE lights FINALLY off. Only thing left is a bad TPMS sensor which I'll take care of at the next tire change.
