    Winch cover, yes or no?

    I use a cover to protect my synthetic line from UV damage. But I remove it on longer road trips to increase airflow into the radiator. My cover blocks a big chunk of the grill.

    Glove box light is out, no juice. Is there any trick to this?

    This is to funny. I changed my bulb a few months back and didn't work. Assumed it was a bad connection because the bulb was new. Just started up the rig and turned on the lights. Yep it works as advertised. And checked the ashtray light, that works also. Never noticed in 14 years of...

    Key won’t lock or unlock rear doors

    I have had the same issue for years. The double tap on the drivers door lock no longer works on the passenger or rear doors. And no sound from the rears indicating it is not the motors. Unlocking the passenger door does unlock the driver and rear doors. Does anyone know the part number of D 22...

    Need some advice. Can I replace OME J springs in front only with slinky 75mm heavy duty and Icon 2.5 adjustable shocks?

    Thanks for the feedback guys After doing some more research I have ordered the Delta control arms with new bushings. Going to stick with the J springs for now to save some $. Will upgrade the springs later. Going to go back to the original nitrocharger OME shocks for simplicity.

    Need some advice. Can I replace OME J springs in front only with slinky 75mm heavy duty and Icon 2.5 adjustable shocks?

Rear tires are OK but the fronts are trashed. The Fox 2.0s has caused major cupping or scalloping. They can't take the heat of washboard...

    Low beams went kaput

    Went and checked the stock headlight plug and it looks good. I also removed all 3 relays and tested with a new one.

    Low beams went kaput

    No they worked for years. Finished a long road trip and stopped working when we got home. On a trail in Idaho, I noticed the low beams flickering over bumps. Whick make me think it is more mechanical than electrical. Thus a switch failure.

    The fan keeps running at the same speed and continues to make the same amount of noise but the airflow drops.

    Having heater issues as well. 96 with 290k miles. Replaced the HCV, flushed the heater system and the heater core, removed the rear heater and replaced all heater hoses. Here is the deal.

    Backwards trunnion race

    Did the same thing years ago. Got out the dremel and cut a slot on 2 sides. Enough to stick a screwdriver into and get a good bite. Was able to hammer them out but i did need to buy 1 new bearing and race.
