That ATF+4 is a totally different fluid. It's almost like the CVT fluid. Viscosity is almost like water.

I'm looking to get new control arms. I have 3 inches of lift and my bumpstops hit my springs (sometimes) plus they are bent and the bushings are in horrible shape. Do I need uppers? Or just lowers. Also I'm looking at IRO fixed with bend lca's. I don't plan on going any higher. Any feedback on them?

I have the IROs, and I love them. Very sturdy, worth every penny.

I believe when opening and closing the door either the switch is loosing power of the switch has power and while holding it and finding the sweet spot the wires to the window motor are not getting power.

I'm looking to rig up a switch or something to the window motor to get it to work properly. Where would I start. I assume a 2 way toggle with a center off position would work but how would I wire it in to power the window up and down.

Any help is appreciated, also I have looked for bare wires in the door and jam and cannot locate anything that's not normal.
My windows did the same thing, When it happened to me it was all the connectors in the windows switch had come loose. I used this video to fix mine. and it works great since.

It could be a ground wire, but all of your windows wouldn't work if that was the case.

Good luck hope this helps!

At 3" you only need lowers. At 4.5" you're looking at uppers, too. I got the 0-6.5" adjustable with bend so I can go higher without replacing them. I'm stock right now.

Does Allot USA make a good t-case chain?

I'm getting replacement fork pads, and there's a chain for $62 on amazon. I though about getting it because the case has 180k (or more speedo didn't work so...)

There's also Omix-Ada one but it's more exspensive.
