What was done to your rig this week?

With a long weekend off and lots of quarantine time I pulled off the crappy teraflex sliders and put on evo boatside bombers, and the quarter pounder was an impulse buy.

I think I found my locker problem.

Wire was broken inside the plug. It was hard to see at first because the rubber gasket on the wire was holding it in place.

This time it was out far enough to tell something was wrong, and when I gently pulled it popped out and you could tell it's been broken for a while.

The plug was not in good shape either, so I ordered a new plug with wires for it.

Hopefully that is all that is wrong.

In addition, changed gear oil F&R, and engine oil.

He got a bath as well,

I literally had the exact same thing with my front locker last weekend. Was able to take the pins out and fix the connection.

I thought about trying to fix this one. It had multiple problems, plus I mangled the pins getting them out.

I'm sure I could make it work, but I will have more peace of mind with a new plug.

Glad you found this ... although at this point feels like you haven’t used the rear locker for so long you don’t need it haha jk

Well, it would be nice to have again.

Maybe save another broken front axle.

Absolutely ready to get out. I'm ready anytime you are, except tomorrow, I have to work a half day or so.
 
While in quarantine, hitting the garage for some temporary social distancing from the family. Added the Excessive Industries Gatekeeper Tire carrier and a new rear Adams Drive Shaft. Glad companies are still shipping as I ordered a Rock Hard sport cage to give me something to do over the next week.

Nice to see another Gatekeeper in here.

I have a love/hate relationship with mine.
Love the look, hate the space I don't have.

Looks good color matched 👌

Jeep looks awesome! Are you going to body color the fenders?

I almost went with those tires, I ended up getting the 40” Nittos due to availability when I needed to order them. With the nemesis fenders, use the rear fender as a guide for most of the cut line. And the bottom, you’ll get into the foam on the front and back.

With the front. I had to push my front axle forward about 1/2”-3/4” to get it to clear the bottom of the front nemesis fender at full turn. I still need to add about a 1/2” more bump stop at full flex.

Thank you! I do plan on having them color matched.

I was going back and forth on tires too. There wasn’t a ton of feedback on the new KM3. I wanted to get the blue label krawlers in 39. But after speaking with Jackson Motorsport. They informed me that BFG discontinued the 39” blue label krawler because of the new KM3. Supposedly its the same inner carcass and tire compound. Only time will tell.

That is what I read and Nemesis recommended too. To use the fender as a guide.

I had to adjust my arms to move my front axle forward too. Roughly 1/2”. I cycled my suspension and adjusted my bumps. I have two pucks on the front. I have fox bumps. So they do allow for easier adjustment. I have yet to actually flex out the suspension. Hopefully soon!!
