    Electrical Fire

    You need to take that to someone who knows what there doing in electrical wiring dept. I see alot of after market alarm stuff in there. All that needs to come out and find what's shorted out and repair correctly all the burnt wiring.

    To eliminate the abs module pull the big fuse for abs. Yellow light will not come on and you'll have regular brakes no abs. Then if it still acts up you'll know it's not ABS module.

    That's the oil they're going to tell you to use in south. The stroker motor is a whole different ball game than the stock motor, it's a high performance motor. When you get a motor from them you just get long block, you have to put oil pump and pickup on and a ton of stuff from your old motor...

    2 problems 04 Wrangler 4.0

    On the brakes I would clean and adjust rear brakes first . I think your Jeep has rear drum brakes, that's a maintenance thing on rear drums. You need to fill out your profile on your Jeep.

    Dana 35 carrier bearing replacement shim question

    I hate to say but that's what the shim driver keeps you from doing ! Carriers are always SOBs to but back in, how easy was it to take out ? You may have to go to a dealer and order shims if you don't have a good drive train shop nearby. Order the one that's broken. Before you start back in on...

    Downsizing from 4 inch to 2 inch lift

    Welcome to the forum there old guy 😉, I'm up there too in age , same problem getting in! I started going from 33" tires to 29" inch wider tires on 18" rims and it helped a bunch on the getting in part! I'd do that and then think about lift coming down. Good luck.

    TJ is really hard to turn

    Sounds like your power steering pump has gone out . it can have fluid in it and not work , shaft can break inside it. It's not that bad to change if you have a pulley puller/ installer. You can rent that at big part stores, then all you need is hand tools. Good luck
