I dont get the point of the deflators...can you just use a screw driver?

 

Deflaters are awesome. Can you let air out of all 4 tires at once?

 

Sure it makes the process faster but I have never been in a situation where I needed them to deflate my tires that quick. Walking around works just as well for me and my trail prep. Now if someone gave me some, I would gladly use them. Plus they seem to be pretty inaccurate, either one doesn't drop down enough or they all keep on deflating past what they're set at.


Shirley, you have to wheel on rocks to understand :P

 

Hey dick. Did I ask why you deflate them? No. I know what its for.

I asked why use deflators when you can do it with a screw driver or something. Now I know its so you can do them all at once so its quicker.

 

Don't get your knickers twisted dude. Don't have to take everything people say to you at face value.

One of the cleanest and well put together mild builds of an XJ.

We're going to be twins once I get the same tires. Then you'll just need a front bumper

 

Don't forget about my xj lol

 

Its not only quicker because all four are going... Do you have any idea how much air is in a 31 or 33" tire? You will sit there a while, deflators let out alot of air. I got an ARB deflator as a gift. Thing works great, it removes the valve stem...

 

And you can set good deflators to whatever PSI you want.

 

Gotcha. From the picture you posted vs the color card it appears to have a more gunmetal hue than black. Am I seeing that right? Just trying to clarify cause you've motivated me to finally do my lower door panels, jams and wells.

 

yea more of a dark gunmetal.

And i've learned deflators are nice since you can screw them on then go do other stuff while they deflate, like pay the park fee or disconnect my swaybar. Or just stand there and talk.

So I go to work yesterday morning - headlights work fine. Come out from work, no headlights. Drive home with my parking lights and fogs.

Investigate - connectors are fine. If i plug the bulb into the stock plug instead of my upgrade harness, bulb works fine.

Oh...what's this?



Well that could be why...it gets more interesting:




So... the power feed wires for my harness got crushed below the battery tray somehow enough to rub the insulation off the wires. The result was looks like it was a fun party as the wires arc welded themselves to my fender and burned the battery and tray. Well that could have gone worse....


Lucky 7s i guess....

 

Did you have fuses ran on the harness?

 

yea but the wire that burnt up is the section between the battery and fuse

 

Naturally. Isn't that Murphy's law?
