    Fuse won't seat in fuse box

    I have a location in my dash fuse box where I had installed an add a circuit fuse tap to power up a radio. The tap will no longer seat and it appears the pins that the fuse prongs slide into have been pushed back into the box. Do I just unscrew the box and push the pins back out or is the fix...

    Rollover valve repair/replace ideas?

    Posting for a friend of mine with an 06 LJ with an evap leak "My dilemma is that the leak is from the rollover valve, which is a NON-REPLACEABLE item. It is bonded/plastic welded to the plastic tank at the factory. Where the nipple broke off is right next to the body of the valve. I’ve had...

    Will the LJ fit into my toy hauler?

    My LJ in trail ready condition weighs about 4600 (armor, bigger tires, winch, bumpers, tools, etc. increases the weight significantly from factory). Remember you also have to include all the stuff you pack into your trailer when traveling (beer, water, firewood, food, clothes, tools, parts...

    I’m just gonna say it, Detroit lockers suck

    I know what my rear axle feels like when it locks and it ain't happenin, at least noticeably so. Maybe because with an auto, lo gear is still too fast for the kind of descents I'm talking about. When this happens I'm usually also braking so maybe this back-torque you mention isn't coming into...

    I’m just gonna say it, Detroit lockers suck

    All I can say is I haven't noticed any loss of control when backing on steep gravelly switchbacks due to the rear Detroit locking up. My experience is that it has been extremely reliable and controllable in all the trail conditions I've experienced with it. I find having this Detroit in the...

    I’m just gonna say it, Detroit lockers suck

    I have a Detroit in the rear and love it - it just works. My experience with it is that as long as it is not under load, it's not locked. In your example of descending I'm not sure why it would affect the ability to steer since you're normally braking or in lo gear, you're not accelerating...
