@AN470 Finally got around too checking the manual like you suggested. Like you said, the VSC TRAC light should not come on (meaning it's off).
@AN470 This switch goes behind the button on the dash, right?
No this is the switch on the actual transfer case, not the button on the dash. There are 2 or 3 switches on the transfer case, can't remember which one it is. But there is definitely a thread that describes the location and includes pictures.
@AN470 Thank you! You’re so helpful!!
I’m not really good at finding things or using forums. Still learning. Any chance you could help track down the thread?
Finally got around to putting the reflective heat shield wrap around the fuel lines coming from the gas tank and runs parallel to the driver's side cat and exhaust. Hopefully this will alleviate some of that vapor build up in the gas tank whenever I go to open up the gas cap.
1.5 wheel spacers, painted the rims and center caps and lower control arm shields
Paint detail, washed, compound, waxed.
Windshield and molding replaced since I had to above windshield rust repair from bad windshield replacement from previous owner.
White knuckle sliders added.

Installed new Granite Alloy wheels, 18X9 with 275/70R18 Duratracs.
Do you have aftermarket tint in the rear ? If so what percent
In the last two weeks:
Timing belt/water pump/radiator/alternator/Ts, brake booster, rubber hoses, finished coastal rear bumper and skid plate, installed dfg drawer system (same as dobinson but way cheaper) so I could take it to my property in the mountains. I have two water crossings, so my other cars are out.
I also replaced the pair of power steering lines that rusted and sprung a leak while it was on the lift. I just might have jb welded over some other questionable looking lines to get me by. Still need to do the gas tank/skid when i get home and order frame sliders. I'm waiting on a ladder to be bent by Brandon at coastal to mount in the other swingout space.

Damn fine looking rig man!
Had to replace the leaking heater core a few weekends back. It’s really tucked in there…
It is aftermarket tint, the vehicle was purchased from the original owner from Dallas, she was an older lady who rescued a lot of dogs hence the tint perhaps. If I had to guess I would say it is between 10 and 15%. Also, here are some pictures to show stance, pay no attention the driveway/lawn….I gave up on it this year!
Thank you! It's been quite the pain in the ass!

Lol! I’m probably one of the rustier ones on here…
Swapped out the bumpstops all the way around with Wheeler Offroad SuperBumps. This was way harder than it should have been. Getting the front factory bumps to break loose was time consuming because of lack of space. Had to remove the shocks bolt and slide out of the way and remove a little splash panel from the front of the control arm. The rears were a little more straight forward although the passenger rear bump was completely broke off already. They are considerably bigger than the factory equipment.

Replaced the spark plugs all around and the ignition coil for cylinder 1 due to a misfire code on cylinder 1. Checked the heater “t’s”, which are both shiny black with no cracking, (thank you PO). Cleaned off some battery corrosion from the bar holding it in place. Noted that my power steering fluid reservoir is yellowed and starting to crack, so ordered a replacement. Then straightened out an MT rock rail after allowing an off-road recovery guy to use my slider as a jack point. Which pushed the rail into the pinch weld at the bottom of the chassis and created a really annoying squeak any time the chassis would shift a little on the frame.
I bent a couple of pry bars, before coming up with this solution. This did the trick, and now I have a more reliable off-road jack and the knowledge of where to place it, to prevent the same from happening again.

My apologies, it was pretty unpleasant to see first hand. I thought I could be clever and take as little apart as possible. Nope. No way around it- pretty much everything from the center console to the steering column needs to go.
