I just purchased an 88 fj62 and It looks super-clean. I have a 91 Grand wagoner that I'm getting rid of that just seems to give me problems. I'm not very mechanicly skilled, so I have to rely on auto shops. Before I sell the Jeep, I swapped the wheels and tires from the jeep (Goodyear AT 31 x ? with American Racing wheels) to the cruiser. I was told that if the lug pattern matched-up, I was good to go.I popped on a front wheel and seemed to fit snug as a bug. I spent hours polishing those wheels, then rotated tires from on vehical to the other. I was taking off the last tire off the cruiser and stripped a bolt (dang) and as I popped the other tire on and cranked down the lugs, I spun the tire around, and it hung up on something. It was one of those balancing weights on inside of the tire hiitting the brake caliper. So, I knocked it off and seems to spin just fine. My concern is, even though nothings rubbing, is it to close? Did I f**k-up, and use the wrong wheel? Was all that polishing for nothing?
2nd question. The 4wd light is on. According to the manual, it says light goes on when in 4wd lo or 4wd high. I checked the front hubs, were Free. It's in H2. I asked a few friends and they said maybe a bad swich. They said disconnect switch and hit the wires together and should here clicking up front, then you know switch is bad. Sounds easy enough. I just don't want to driving around and be screwing up my new baby. Am I at risk for damage?
Lastly, It's super-clean under the hood but to me, it's like looking at the Chineese alphabet. I noticed the check connecter ( I think thats what it is according to the manual) is open and has a wire stuck in it( a service wire?) I asked a few people what they thought. Some said don't worry about it, to others who said get it checked out, something could hit the wire and short it out. What do you guys think?
Thanks for your help.
