I've haven't even owned it a month and I've spent $500 on it to make it run and stop right.

Replaced my 90 amp alternator with a 120 amp alternator for a 5.2L V8 jeep and repainted my hood. The best part...I got the alternator for free. The guys at the store felt bad about all the tihs I've been dealing with so they hooked me up. Can't complain about free new stuff. Next on the list is the starter.

Lol no. there were a couple following us until we went up the side of the bone. Then they never came up. Saw a zj locked 4linked try to go up right before us. He broke a shaft and still kept trying lol. I was with a couple buggies and a tj but we didn't have any problems getting up.

That's what happens when ya wheel it.. You can make a gasket, of sorts, by applying a silicone ring to either side of the gap that you can see (when assembled) when looking at breaks from under jeep. Then fill the area with a petroleum jelly like Vaseline. Applied right before muddin will definately reduce the amount of dirt that can get in there.

Check the run of your wire, If it's shielded and the grounding. I've seen this issue on the forum before. Good luck with it

No it was to the left of it. It was way to slick out from all the rain we got last week. It just gets worse too everytime we go from so many people trying.
