Or if it's serious, try swapping in a new writing harness from another jeep. It's a lot of work, but the jeep is always worth it

Darn factory security system. It's shutting the jeep down all the time. I'm goin with the Econ box plan. Can't let the jeep go unless it's for another one.

went out to de soto at around 9 p.m. with a couple of friends. Never been to this place before so i didnt know what to expect. Usually i do trailing. Not just a mud fest. The spot ended up being in a plowed field with no bottom. I was driving my 2010 JK with 4.5 inches of lift and 33 mud terrains. my two friends had a 80s chevy and a ford bronco. The chevy got stuck. I tried getting him out until like 2 in the morning. as we started to leave because we couldnt do anything else i got stuck just turning around to get out. (keep in mind this isnt our property. Its a farm) So by this time all of our straps broke and my JK is buried. So my friend had to drive all the way back to overland park to get a strap. came back around 5. a.m. so we were wheeling in a field just next to a street going by. just the field was a little more sunk in. so we were a little below the street. Just then as we were getting in the bronco to leave. A cop pulls a guy over right on the part of the street next to us. We wait 30 min for them to leave. He shines the spotlight on our trucks. Definatley see's them but leaves. Idk why guessing he thought we were gone and he would get it in the morning. so we finally get out. I get home at 6:30. My dad finds out and gets pissed and we go back around 8. dig it out with shovels and leave. The jeep starts wobbling like crazy over 40 mph. (thats still happening i need help on what that might be). my friend comes to late to get the chevy and they tow it. He talks to the farmer who owns the land. And its 500 bucks for his truck back. I didnt sleep for 28 hours or something.

Wobble is probably mud inside the rim throwing the balance of the tires off.

Yeah the wobble is what we thought it was. but when we got home we cleaned it out all the way. and it still happens. We spent the whole day cleaning it off. So i think i have a bigger problem. And yeah i trail around the KC area. There is this place by renner road. Its in a old quarry.
