    JK new upper ball joint movement

    Helping a friend install ball joints and something I don't recall is the new upper ball joint moving in/out; up/down so easily. Side to side it's tight like it should be.

    Service axle Locker dash light

    Finally got around to installing the Z-Automotive Locker bypass on the rear locker. The plug was covered with oil, means the sensor is filled with oil which I'll deal with another time. For now everything is working fine. The spot at the base is how much oil poured out when I pulled the plug...

    Radio locked up on start

    Since Monday, 10/2/23, the radio has been locked up at every start with the following Weather & Traffic message: This locks up the radio and have to reboot it to get the message to clear and all radio functions working again. Anyone experience anything similar?
