Caught the Bug
I literally had the exact same thing with my front locker last weekend. Was able to take the pins out and fix the connection.

I thought about trying to fix this one. It had multiple problems, plus I mangled the pins getting them out.
I'm sure I could make it work, but I will have more peace of mind with a new plug.
Well, it would be nice to have again.
Maybe save another broken front axle.
Absolutely ready to get out. I'm ready anytime you are, except tomorrow, I have to work a half day or so.

Thanks! Ready to dive in a little deeper in the next week or two depending on what the economy looks like.

While in quarantine, hitting the garage for some temporary social distancing from the family. Added the Excessive Industries Gatekeeper Tire carrier and a new rear Adams Drive Shaft. Glad companies are still shipping as I ordered a Rock Hard sport cage to give me something to do over the next week.

60s and 40s! I was hoping to have it all done before a trip planned to Utah in May, but who knows at this point. :idontknow:

Nice to see another Gatekeeper in here.
I have a love/hate relationship with mine.
Love the look, hate the space I don't have.
Looks good color matched

Finally got around to replacing my last sensor hopefully. No more lights. [emoji106]

Just the last speed sensor, but I do have a new set of gaskets for the valve covers and oil pan! Maybe a clock spring if I keep getting annoyed by that beeping! [emoji849]

Jeep looks awesome! Are you going to body color the fenders?
I almost went with those tires, I ended up getting the 40” Nittos due to availability when I needed to order them. With the nemesis fenders, use the rear fender as a guide for most of the cut line. And the bottom, you’ll get into the foam on the front and back.
With the front. I had to push my front axle forward about 1/2”-3/4” to get it to clear the bottom of the front nemesis fender at full turn. I still need to add about a 1/2” more bump stop at full flex.

Thank you! I do plan on having them color matched.
I was going back and forth on tires too. There wasn’t a ton of feedback on the new KM3. I wanted to get the blue label krawlers in 39. But after speaking with Jackson Motorsport. They informed me that BFG discontinued the 39” blue label krawler because of the new KM3. Supposedly its the same inner carcass and tire compound. Only time will tell.
That is what I read and Nemesis recommended too. To use the fender as a guide.
I had to adjust my arms to move my front axle forward too. Roughly 1/2”. I cycled my suspension and adjusted my bumps. I have two pucks on the front. I have fox bumps. So they do allow for easier adjustment. I have yet to actually flex out the suspension. Hopefully soon!!
