Pros: Your vehicle continues to exist if you happen to get water on the bumper Cons: You don't get to learn how to rebuild/replace your engine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you wheel and get around water/mud you need a snorkel. I was under the fallacy that snorkels are unnecessary and are for the desert/dust. That's wrong.. I went through a mud hole that turned out to have very deep ruts making it deeper than I thought and my engine is now toast... If you are wheeling you vehicle then a snorkel is your first upgrade. It is sheer luck I didn't kill my vehicle before since in been in deeper than this one before and she was fine. Water hits that box in the bumper the right way and your going to get a big drink of water and a mountain of trouble... That's my rant. You need a snorkel. I'll make a thread with my engine swap when I get started... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Get a can of air duster, turn it upside down, and spray sensors until you find one that resolves the issue when it gets cold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BC is incredible. My dream is to live in Washington state so you should know I am jealous. I do enjoy the Appalachian mountains but the beauty found in the Rockies and it's foothills is on another level. My heart longs for the Rockies. If I lived out there I would build a mini aluminum jet boat to traverse the beautiful mountain rivers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0kkyYyWfIoU Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Improper distance between sensor and teeth on the cog? I seem to remember reading that one of the position sensors has to be near perfect.. I could have been reading about a different vehicle altogether however.. worth checking in to since it was just replaced and after replacement the issue was resolved. Maybe the sensor wasn't secured good enough and now the sensor is out of its operating range. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Get your splash guards put back on. Or better make you some skid plates that will replace the splash guards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a sweet little hang out spot near my wife's parent's house. It is found in an abandoned neighborhood that people have turned in to unofficial hunting land and an ATV park. I was about to say that I have searched and searched for the official entrance to the Pavilion but have never been able to find it.. however I just looked with google earth and the reason I cannot find it is because it is part of a separate neighborhood. I was wondering who was cutting the grass.. haha! So I finally got to use my winch! I'll say that without locking differentials one must have a winch. The little spot I got stuck at, while quite deep, would have shamed me to whoever I would've had to call to get me unstuck. I'm so glad I bought a winch! Money well spent. There are a bunch of pictures at the end which are there because I wanted the song to play out. I'll include the beautiful views in picture below the video. The pictures are from our family trip to Gatlinburg TN. https://wistia001.wistia.com/medias/olfmjunb8a Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is Echo Lake. All the green grass used to be covered by water but now that the lake is 8ft under full pool we have a nice area to run around and play in! This is one of my favorite spots. There are many trails through the woods that I can't manage since they were cut for ATVs. I tried once and had to back out for close to a quarter mile.. We call it Echo Lake because on a still morning the echo from a shout comes back from 3-4 distances. It's quite amazing! https://wistia001.wistia.com/medias/sk4n32bj4t Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just did some reading and I think you should check your brakes out thoroughly. Jack the front up and spin the wheels backward. Try everything you can to recreate the noise. I've got a bad wheel bearing up front but it is audible in forward and reverse equally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Look for a quality used tire shop. I've got one close to me that buys wrecked sets of 3 and when he has a full set he sells them for about $100-$200 each. There was a $1500 set of 37's for $450 with at least 75% tread. You have to look but you can find good used tire shops.. be careful to look at all 4 tires if you find a good set. I found a couple sets that had 3 awesome tires and one typical used tire with 25% tread.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take all the wiring off while it is still secured. You want to put the wiring back on the new alternator after it has been secured so you know you don't have loose connections. What exactly is your problem? One of the alternator bolts won't come out? Or the belt tensioner bolt isn't working? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I've looked at all the drawings for the SFD 4in strut spacer with camber compensation and I don't feel comfortable my ability to follow what info and drawings there are. I have searched extensively and haven't found a good detailed "how to" for the SFD strut spacers. Does anyone know of one that I might have just missed?? Does anyone fabricate them on this forum? Can you order just the SFD strut spacers from Krypton? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used the "import" Carquest ATF in my Honda and its just fine. I used Castrol "Import" ATF in my JR50 and it's performing great. My opinion is that if it is stated to be compatible then most likely it is.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was wondering how plastidip holds up vs offroading. I've read stories about it holding up good if it is thick. Apparently it gets surface scratches but doesn't tear thru?? I would imagine needing 10-15 coats(or more) for the body or wheels of an offroad vehicle.. probably not worth it to do any more than emblems since it isn't exactly fun to paint with..

I didn't mess with the bleeder cap after changing my thermostat. I also didn't mess with it after the timing belt and water pump. I forgot to tell you that you need to turn your heat on wide open while it warms up.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YDMQF50/ref=pd_aw_sbs_469_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=NFVCB9TXK63YGKV7GAW0 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay try this: Jack the front of your vehicle up as high as you can get it. Or find a steep incline, then jack it up as high as you can get it. Just find a way to get the nose as high as possible.. Then, while cold of course, remove the radiator cap and crank the vehicle. Let it idle all the way to operating temperature while keeping the radiator topped off with fluid. I think you still have air in the system. That water control valve shouldn't cause you to loose water or overheat really.. If your not loosing water, then the water was never there.

Word. Well my seeping head gasket didn't cause the coolant to boil until the later stages. The only thing it did was introduce exhaust gasses into the coolant which over pressurized the coolant system, dumping all the coolant into the reservoir. As the shg got worse the gasses began to trick the thermostat into thinking the engine was cold and overheating would happen minutes into a drive. After removing the thermostat altogether the overheating stopped for a couple months. Then toward the end the coolant was superheated so quickly that short drives weren't even possible.. Then I did the blue devil that stays in, and doesn't need to be drained. The blue devil bought me a couple more months at that point.. A herniated fire ring will only allow exhaust gasses out.. some times it is even undetectable with a leak down test because the leak only occurs at high psi. I hate coolant and hg issues...
