I checked all fuses because there is no marker for the horn fuse. Its a mess under there. I straight wired to the horn and the other wire to the battery from a push button but it still didn't work. What am I missing? Do I need to ground the horn or at the button end? Electrical is not my thing! Body and basic engine.. I'm good but electrical kills me everytime. Sorry for the simple question but I don't get it! And thanks!

 

Looks good from what I can see. Post a pic from straight in front so we can see your track bar and drag link angles.

 

Alright best I could get the pic. Doesn't seem too bad. Might need a drop pitman at some point but who knows.

And I like how 33x12.50s are $3 more than 35x12.50s at americas tire lol. i wish I could run 35s, stupid 27 spline 8.25 and its stock gears.

 

Do you know if the horns ever worked? It is possible for both horns to go but not highly likely. The push button should complete the circuit so therefore check for your 12 volts on your power side and make sure that you have the horns connected to their brackets to complete the ground side of the circuit. If everything is hooked up and you have 12v to power, voltage drop the ground side at different points at each horn and make sure you see around or less than .1v on the ground

 

Should be wired Battery--->switch--->horn--->ground.

Easiest way to figure out wiring is to think of it like water, flows from + to -. if something isnt getting power when its supposed to, follow it upstream to the culprit.

 

What is your guys stand on the harbor freight winches? Buddy of mine says his 12k winch from HF is the bomb diggity. I'm in the market for a winch so I've been looking for a good deal obviously.. But I deff want something that is super strong and has good reliability.

 

will an np231 out of a v8 grand cherokee fit in my l6?

 

Most came with a 249... What year?

 

nvm, found this. That is a negative Ghostrider.

btw it was a 93 GC 318 v8 auto tranny with np231 tcase. At least thats what the CL ad said (http://fargo.craigslist.org/pts/3687543633.html)

 

Any idea as to why my 98's cruise control wont engage?

 

Isn't cruise control vacuum activated? Don't quote me on that cuz it may be for pre-97s.

 

Superwinch? I can't remember if this was regarding the Superwinch units or Quadratec, but one of the two was apparently a real brand winch but with a higher rating. So an 8000 lb unit under $BRAND_NAME was 12k under $GENERIC.

IMO if you're going to be actually relying on a piece of equipment, I'd rather pay more for a good part up front and depend on it to work instead of cheap and getting a warranty. Like an Autozone CPS - warranty isn't worth **** if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere.

 

Cruise on post '97s has a few systems but is indeed vacuum actuated. If it looks like it SHOULD be working (light comes on in the dash) then go looking for vacuum leaks. It hangs off of that pesky reservoir that hides in the bumper

 

I've heard an equal amount of good and bad with them... the one key factor in the equation though is people's definition of "hardcore" and "abuse".... some people will say "I wheel hardcore with it all the time and have to use it a lot" when in reality they mean, they're pulling straight line out of a gooey mudhole using a snatchblock... then they say they abuse it - what they mean is they're pulling a stump out of the ground with it....

I personally want to make sure when I get a winch that it's from a reputable company that will stand behind the winch and not give me any hassle if something goes wrong and it needs parts/replacement/service...

With that in mind, this is something I'm considering:

Wow, pretty brave of you to open up that can o' worms, lol.

But since you brought it up, the old style Central Machinery 10K was nice simply because it was such low draw (a vastly under-appreciated feature IMHO). I'd like to have another just to put on the XJ. No additional batteries or electrical upgrades needed. Sweet.

(A local guy actually advertised a NIB one around here in January, but he was asking a ridiculous $400 for it ...I paid $175 for the one on the TJ, and be damned if I'll pay almost twice as much for one off C/L as I can get a new 9K one for at HF ...that said, I offered him as much as I would have paid for the 9K model, just because of the 10K's low draw. No dealie. I'm a patient person though: one will show up sooner or later lol, and I ain't in no hurry.)
