I might try another xj or maybe a wrongler. I would like to build my WK but i still need it for a DD for many more years.

I got a D60 I'll sell ya and I got 3 37" military tires. I can make a package deal...

The 60 you bought from me? Haha I'd take it

Hello. Is this group still active? I am looking to see if there are any recommended jeep shops?

KevinC506

I'm in in Jacksonville as well. I recommend Low Range 4x4 in Wilmington, super friendly and do quality work.

I mainly go to Trios Diesel and 4x4 now in Burgaw. Much closer and much cheaper. Regeared my front axle for a lot less than Low range had in the past.

I guess it can really matter on what you're trying to get done??

New_OffRoader

Well for starter the guy I bought the jeep from didn't know anything about electrical work. So I am trying not to carry it out too far till i can get the wiring fixed properly. I've been working on a low voltage issue which I'm hoping it was the starter once i drop the new one in. Are there any good shops around the J-ville area though?

KevinC506

Eh, that I'm not too sure on. I'm used to doing everything myself and have never taken it to a shop before.

New_OffRoader

Is there some kind of easy to follow guide for electrical work? I have the Haynes manual which blew my mind but if I have something that's easy to follow I can do it myself.

Haynes and Chiltons manuals are good for specifications (torque specs, capacities, fluids) and maintenance but not troubleshooting.
An FSM, field service manual, would be better but you need to narrow down the issue first.

Is the wiring issue dealing with stock wires/harness or add-ons from previous owner?
If add-ons, I would disconnect power from them until verified that installation was done correctly with relays, proper wire and connections and protected in wire looms.

A picture and basic description can go a long way on this forum also. We are familiar with these vehicles and what would be out of place, or a safety/fire issue.

What's going on ya'll. New CFer here in Jacksonville. I'm getting back into Jeeps and wheeling (East Coast). Any trips on the schedule?

KevinC506

People are always heading to Uwharrie National Forrest. I don't know of any trips as of right now, but they're common. If you can get in with any local groups, it would be beneficial.


I'm in Jacksonville too, always willing to help someone if they need help locally.

LimaCharlie

Awesome. I'll keep my ear to the ground for the next event. Thanks.
