Finally, after years of trying and coming so close I was able to find a full set of 5 MOAB´s!:head3::Rock on: Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. Life threw me a loss of a loved one but time and family/friends have helped get me through it.

What style Moabs?

Moabs will cure what ails ya...seriously, sorry to hear about your loss. Let us know if we can help in anyway.

somebody stole one of my MOAB's recently. joke's on them though; 3 of the bolt holes were so wallered out and one was torch damaged, the wheel was unusable. I'd thought of taking it to a shop and having them "fix" it, but I'd never trust it.

They'll be bringing it back :happy175:

I don't know what the Wrangler equivalent of fancy rims is, but a couple years ago someone went through a local dealer lot and stole the spare tires off of five Jeeps. I guess they could have gotten by with stealing just four tires but they obviously knew the value of having a new spare tire...

I didn't do anything, but my husband fixed the passenger rear turn signal. Bulb wasn't toast, the contacts were cruddy. He cleaned them and reseated the bulb, all is well.

While he was doing that, I serviced the rear differential on my '05 Astro.

I drove three hours through icy roads and salt spray, so I need to find a car wash soon. Also, I had the ESP/BAS, ABS, and TRAC lights all come on at the same time. I imagine some salt got into a connector somewhere. I actually felt better with those not working...

Ya Winter is ******* the KJ if you leave the Salt on.
Power Washing & under body, rear back braking plates etc is a must do.

Today I checked the Lugs torque.

I guess the cold air lowered the air pressure, they were all down 6 psi.
(been a while since I checked them)

Also add screws for the best traction in snow.

Put one ARP stud in my CRD and lost all confidence in my cheap clicker torque wrench. Can't see the pointer AND hold my beam torque wrench steady enough to get a good reading. Plus or minus 15 footpounds isn't going to work.

Any recommendations on good torque wrenches?

Something that beeps but doesn't need batteries?

No idea on one that beeps with no batteries (maybe the Roadrunner?). I've got an assortment of Craftsman Tq wrenches that seem okay (by feel) but I haven't actually had them 'checked". I really should since the one is getting pretty old. I know if I use them in the overlap zone they seem to be pretty similar.

Started sorting out some garage totes/ boxes this evening
Forgot I even had a bunch of these MOPAR and MOOG parts for KJs
calipers, brake pads, tie rod ends, sway bar bushings etc
Almost like Christmas here !
Bought them 6-7 years ago from a JEEP Tech when he sold his KJ
( he was stockpiling for himself ) still a bunch to go through

Actually had a guy try that years ago
Had us mount new tires on wheels but not on his Toyota
Week later he was in mad as all heck saying how all 4 kept losing air
and the tires were junk
Yep put metal screws in all of the stud holes :emotions34::emotions34:

My dash lighted up yesterday because of a 'rear speed sensor error," or something like that. I guess that's something to mess with in the future.

Yesterday: greased Ujoints and replaced the rear brake pads. Passenger rear caliper was seized up, so I think I only had 3/4 brakes. Feels so much better. Seems like I get about 2-3 years on average from the Cardone remanned calipers. I've had to replace the rear ones.

You've already replaced the rear calipers ? wow
My 03 still has stock ones all around yet.
All working good, just rotated tires and checked them all
( plus I found the 4 new Mopar ones, thought I'd replace but may wait)
