She's under the knife again finally! Sincer we're not towing with her anymore, she's getting an Ironman nitro lift. 2.5" in the front to overcome the rake and heavier bumper/winch and 2" in the rear. Also deleting the XREAS system, obviously. It definitely perked her up a bit, but she...

Does anyone know of any powder coat options that are close to the blizzard pearl on the Limited? I've googled around but haven't been able to find anything definitive. I have found colors like pearl frost, pearl sparkle, diamond pearl, white pearl, and pearlized white. They all sound like...

So, I wasn't planning on solving this problem today, but that's kind of how it went down. winchy_woman and I were cleaning up the garage and she noticed that her taillights were randomly on, with nobody doing anything to the 4R. I had been suspecting the main body ECU since everything else...

I'm not convinced on the photocell either but there doesn't seem to be a way to test it without an oscilloscope. I ordered one for $20 off ebay so it's not a big loss if that doesn't resolve it. Only reason I an leary of the photocell is that I don't even get dash lights dimming when I cover...

Parking lights do turn on That's my next step us to start looking for grounds from the ECU for the relay. But I'm camping for a bit so this will have to wait till I get back. I've seen a lot of references to Techstream in the FSM but do you have a good source on where I can get this? Seems...

The parking brake is not engaged (this happened while she was driving), but I won't rule out a grounded parking brake wire. I'll chase it down in the schematics!

Hey everyone! Hoping someone can help My wife was driving her 2014 Limited home from hockey practice the other evening and she said her headlights flipped over to night mode, then flipped back to daylight mode, but since then her headlights do not work at all. No DRLs, no low beams, no high...

Sooo, after this weekend, I might be rethinking this. We were out on a pretty aggressive trail and the antenna got bent. So I straightened it the best I could without breaking it and later on, it got bent again. That location does seem a bit prone to damage from branches, but I can't think of...

It's not bad. At first it's noticeable but you get used to the placement pretty quick. I don't think I'd change the placement if I had to do it again.

Things are slowing down on the build. As pictured, we filled out the lights in the bumper. We went Rigid fog lights for the DOT compliance and an Oz-USA light bar. The Oz got good reviews and came with a nice harness. I swapped out the switch for a MICTUNING Toyota style switch to keep...

Finally got the winch finished up. I had to fab a bracket to relocate the solenoid box. Relocating the solenoid box meant lengthening the cables to the winch. To fill the fog light holes, we've decided on Rigid fog lights. Still trying to decide on light bars.

The winch solenoid box won't fit on top of the winch because the AC lines run right across that area. We're going to relocate the box under the hood. The handle for the clutch release also interferes, so we'll need to figure out a solution there; either seeing if we can rotate it, or bend it...

No issues with our Limited. I would take it somewhere else. Do you have the Yokohama tires?

Given that the M.U.L.E. is our family car and we travel a lot in the winter, I'm going to donate the winch off my Jeep to the cause. Now I need to find out what people are doing for winch controls...

Adding a pic of the Yaesu remote mount faceplate since the transceiver is kind of boring :P The Larsen dual band antenna. Not sure if I'm crazy about this mount. It's a PL-259 drilled out to hold an NMO fixture. 1.1 SWR though so it's hard to complain about that. (and probably the reason I...
