OP
I'm going to replace them with 3 wire button lights and put them in the same area as @DrDmoney. The stock 2 wire they sent only works with the headlights on or off, not both.
Imagine if you had more lift and shorter arms.I was able to push the axle 4 rotations forward. I had to modify the TB a bit but it clears now. Crossing my fingers I didn't take out enough to cause any issues down the line.
Wheelbase seems to be exactly 93.5" so I'm not quite sure what I accomplished pushing the front all the way forward and the rear all the way backView attachment 230833
Huh
but I thought everyone said metal cloak didn't offer any extra clearance over a tube fender.
Alex - that actually looks pretty tight in the rear. Have you flexed it at full stuff / full lock?
OP
I did, I made that comment without thinking of turning so "tons" isn't accurate. I have enough room to turn the tires at full lock. Not much but enough.
OP
Alex,About time.
Me: (like 6 months ago to Alex...) I think you should start a build thread.
Him: my builds already done no more work to do.
was looking for something I read in your build thread and came across this prophetic conversation...LOL!
OP
Being addicted to rocks does crazy things to your mind... and wallet.
LOL, he's not even halfway down the rabbit hole.
I'm confused, they work in the off position? my Markers are 2 wire but I think 01 they are different for some reason.
yup, were still waiting for dynatrac 80s, 20" travel coils and a 454 big block swapLOL, he's not even halfway down the rabbit hole.
so much more to accomplish.yup, were still waiting for dynatrac 80s, 20" travel coils and a 454 big block swap
and here im thinking about outboarding but have no idea how... then theres thisso much more to accomplish.
Hats off to you alex, this rig is a beast!
OP
I have 3 wire to work with. Don't quote me on the colors since I'm going off memory but the jeep has Black-purple, grey, a blue.
I can get the flasher to work by hooking up black purple and grey with the lights OFF but they no longer work when the lights are ON.
If I hook up blue and Grey I can get the flashers to work with the lights ON but not OFF.
If I hook up grey. and combine blue and black purple the flashers are ALWAYS on.
I've read you can fix it by adding a diode or resistor to the wiring but adding a 3 wire LED seems like a simpler solution.
Edit: by lights I'm referring to headlights.
OP
I'd be happy to walk you through it one day. If I recall correctly though you have short arms so you'd need to fab up a new rear TB mount. @Nickgsjeep would be a great jeep to reference.and here im thinking about outboarding but have no idea how... then theres this

OP
After all the cutting, grinding, and welding of the midarm the outboard isn't that intimidating anymore.I would outboard when I spurge to the midarm
I've been daydreaming lately of cutting the rear section of my frame off and doing the BCE.
LOL. we're all going to the same place, just arriving at different times.I would outboard when I spurge to the midarm
I definitely foresee it in my future
