    2004 Rubicon Rear Locker Troubleshooting (Air Pump / Pressure Okay)

    So in theory I could pull the carrier and remove the broken LSD bits and go my way? Assuming you can run like an open diff with a broken and self removed LSD? Sorry for the dumb question Ive never tinkered around with a mechanical LSD. I have one in my BMW M3 but I havent had to open it up yet...

    2004 Rubicon Rear Locker Troubleshooting (Air Pump / Pressure Okay)

    My rear locker was "locked" for the entire trail because I knew about the fragile LSD. However, I am starting to have think that this locker was broken the day I bought the Jeep almost a year ago. The reason I never noticed it was because I was assuming all things were good with the dashboard...

    2004 Rubicon Rear Locker Troubleshooting (Air Pump / Pressure Okay)

    Yes the pump shuts off after probably 2 secs after it hits 5 psi. If you watch the video you can see its actually activating the locker collar. Ive tried the axle test you mentioned and the locker does not lock with a raised wheel off the ground. It free spins as if the diff was open. Finally...

    I have a bit of a weird one, my 04 Rubicon is having issues engaging it's rear locker. The compressor is working fine and generates the required 5 psi and then shuts off, the rear locker light comes on and stays on steady. However, the rear axle remains open. Has anyone experienced this...

    04 Rubicon Ratcheting Noise Under Heavy Drivetrain Load

    So I have a 2004 5 sp Rubicon on a 3.5" lift and double cardan drive shaft. Over the weekend I took it on the actual Rubicon Trail here in CA and got to put it through its paces.

    Smittybuilt XRC Rock Sliders

    I’m trying to identify what kind of rock sliders I have on this thing. They appear to be Smittybilt XRCs? If yes are these stout enough to put a hi lift on? I’m not psyched about them but if they work they work.

    Troubleshooting a PO300 and PO306 CEL on a 2004 Rubicon

    I recently purchased a 2004 Rubicon 5MT with 92,000 miles on it about a month ago and everything has been smooth sailing for the most part. The other day while driving home from an OHV park I had an intermittent CEL flash on the dash and then go away. When I got home I pulled a P0300 and P0306...
