To get to the shifter (trans and tcase) lights, I gotta take the center console out right?
So how do I get the trans shift handle off? It just pops off?

Hey guys, anyone ever have any problems with the roof rack bars? I'm in the military and just got orders to move across the country, so I've been getting the ol' jeep ready for the long drive. A neighbor gave me one of those "aerodynamic" rooftop cargo boxes, but when I went to install it, I ran into a weird problem. The cross bars on my roof wont budge! On 3 out of 4 buttons you can press them in but the rack wont slide, and on the 4th one the button depressed and then wont pop out. What gives? Anyone have any ideas?
And also, semi-related, if you were preparing for a 2,500 mile trip in a jeep with 180xxx miles on it, what would you change/flush/check/install/etc before you left?
For our trip I just replaced the front & rear differential fluid, the transfer case fluid, the tranny fluid, and oil & filter. Along with a lot of gas on several occasions.
No problems in the drive, fully loaded inside (barely squeezed my wife into the driver seat and towing a loaded up utility trailer ...I was driving a 28 foot or somethin' Penske truck, towing the Wrangler on a trailer: it was quite a caravan lol).

So tomorrow Im going to be taking my doors off and since I have power everything I was going to use Grand Cherokee door plugs for my wiring. My only concern is the female connector on the body side seems a little open to water and mud getting inside of it. Could this be a problem for the electronics?

ALL fluids. Don't forget your coolant system! Grease the greasables and check your steering, driveline, and suspension for loose and worn bits.
