Rear locker hasn't worked for a year. I have the parts and will fix soon. But it was a real surprise that front didn't. It worked last year just fine. Yesterday, it came and went, intermittent. But compressor was cycling every few seconds, so there's a leak.
Yes indeed. Most winching I've done has been a little longer. This deal yesterday was short and sweet. But glad I had it. Once again my wife made the comment that she was happy to have a good quality winch regardless of the cost. Moral: Even an extra quality inch keeps the wife happy.
Yes sir. Indeed.

Sorry to hear about the leak. Are you going to replace the lines with stainless steel lines? Kind of a once and done fix?

My limited experience has been when the compressor kicks on and off, the leak is internal within the diff. When the compressor is constantly running, it's more likely a line leak.
The rear diff has the copper tube broken from the seal housing and I'm fixing that this next weekend. As far as the front, unknown....

Oh, that is some great information for whenever I get lockers... well hopefully you can track down whatever is going on with the front without too much trouble!

Dynatrac did my front locker install and it was fine last year. Rear locker is an entirely different story, ARB has been awesome but it's a long story. As far as front locker not working currently, who knows... Haven't diagnosed it yet.

Good to see you getting out. [emoji1303] Hopefully the front locker fix is a simple-ish one.

Me too.
It certainly was great weather to get out. Glad the Jeep held up! Fingers crossed for the rest of the year
Yes, weather was perfect.
Nope. We were hoping to see someone there but it was quiet. Can't imagine why....

Lol. I have trimmed the shit out these things just to make the 35s fit. They only rub under really specific conditions on most trails or constantly while running Chinaman Gulch.

Glad to see you got your WJ out on the trail. Still haven’t finished mine.

Oh wow. I thought yours was done. What else does it need?

I need to install the front locker, onboard air, bumpers, rock sliders, bump stops, limit straps, trim the fenders..... I think that’s most of it LOL. I want to make some modifications to my front suspension, the tires rub on the lower link arms. I want to take them off and put a 20* bend in them, and I want to redo the track bar and see if I can get some of the bump steer out of it.
Oh, and the hydro assist steering.
Long list, but I need to get it done by mid September. I have a trip planned to Moab.

Mine did the same thing when I was installing my locker. Were you able to repair it or did you have a new one?
