    TJ LED front turn signals

    Strange, current in the loop should be the same at all points in the circuit.

    TJ LED front turn signals

    The 12.8V is across the resistor and LED combined, the resistor alone isn't seeing the full 12.8V. Easiest way to verify the power being drawn by the resistor is to measure the voltage drop across the resistor with a multimeter and plug that voltage value into the P=(V x V)/R formula.

    TJ LED front turn signals

    I have non polar LEDs in the side facing lights. They will flash when running are off, but they stop flashing when running lights are on because of the reason I mentioned before. This is when I wired in the rectifier and resistors.

    TJ LED front turn signals

    Yeah... just using a rectifier on it's own might not work if you also have a LED bulb installed at the front facing signal light. Originally with filament bulbs, the circuit relies on the 2 different resistances of the high and low filament of the that front facing bulb to change the brightness...

    TJ LED front turn signals

    A full wave rectifier chip is just 4 diodes in one package. The 2 extra diodes aren't really required in this application since we're working with DC power as input. But you can just wire in the resistor into the running light input to achieve the dimming of the running light.

    TJ LED front turn signals

    If you're putting in LED bulbs in the side facing fender flare signal lights then yes, it does need to be rewired in order to work. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/help-wiring-led-front-turn-signals.35646/

    Hard start after battery cable upgrade?

    That is not true, yes dielectric grease is an insulator but that is why you can use it on electric connections. The dielectric grease will not conduct electricity itself and cause short circuits where you don't want it. Dielectric grease will not interfere with conduction across a good metal to...

    Can someone tell me the name of these headlights or where I can find them

    I think they are probably one of these: https://www.hidprojectors.com/collections/7-inch-headlights Edit: Looks like the Monster LED - Stage 1

    Kill Switch Ideas?

    I have a latching relay interrupting my ASD relay circuit. The switch is hidden at the base of my 4wd selector switch. When I start the Jeep, I turn the key to the on position, hit the kill switch button so the relay latches and then crank the engine. I also have a bypass switch hidden behind...

    Frame Replacement

    I did a frame and tub swap in 2018. I was lucky that a local guy purchases wrecked TJs from auctions and parts them out so I got everything from him. Bought the frame and tub for 300 and 500 CAD. The frame wasn't exactly rust free but it was solid and I just keep up with the fluid film treatment...

    Denso Radiator for TJ

    I've been running the Denso radiator in my TJ, but only installed for about 2 years. So far no issues.

    Shock Comparison: Rancho RS5000X vs Skyjacker Black Max vs KYB Monotube

    No problem! In a gas charged shock, it is pressurized with nitrogen, that pressure is what causes it to expand. A hydro shock like the black max doesn't have that pressure inside.

    Shock Comparison: Rancho RS5000X vs Skyjacker Black Max vs KYB Monotube

    It is normal as they are not a gas charged shock.

    AX-15 maintenance

    MTL is still GL4, just different weight. https://www.redlineoil.com/mtl-75w80-gl-4-gear-oil Also, GL5 rating doesn't necessarily mean it's not safe for brass synchros. Some GL5 oils specifically state that it is safe for use with yellow metals.
