  1. Taillight replacement

    I just replaced my drivers side tailight. Got it off ebay for $450.00 . keep in mind if you have BLIS you will probably need to either swap out sensors or reprogram the sensor in the replacement light. I swapped them since I couldnt really find good instructions on how to reprogram.

    Did the first half of fins and things in Moab a couple weeks a go. Light scraping here and there and my exhaust tip is no longer round. I did use the locker. I can drive much more gently when I use it instead of having to come at things hard. I have 265/70 17 KO2's on. Will be putting new...

    Something else to consider is tire temperature. This is something else I keep an eye on when towing or under a load. Here is a quote from Car and Driver. "How hot does the tire get? Typical tires experience a temperature increase of roughly 50 degrees after running on the highway for a...
