Nothing else needs to be removed.
5/16" 12 point wrench to remove transfer case side.
5/16" socket to remove axle side.
Perfectly fine to drive without it.

It was the ground on the Putco harness. I didn't scrape away enough paint. I used the bolt that is right behind the turn signal. You could try adding a temporary ground to the headlight circuit with jumper cables, alligator clips or having someone hold some wire on it to see if it helps? That's all I can think of ATM.

Hello everyone , i would like to ask you guys something here about cylinder head torque that i dont undestand ; i have a cherokee 2.5td and im falowing the manual but there is a detail there that i dont undestand , in a moment they say this: " Tighten M1 bolts to 30N·m, then rotate them 85° (+-5) " what does this +-5 means? i undestand to rotate 85 degreas but what does it means this more or less 5 , anyone undestand this?

it's the weirdest thing. I mean no matter what it is I should fix it since the resistance of incandescents is just hiding the problem which could end up being something worse maybe.

On a separate note:
I haven't been able to get in contact with Blaine: what bolts do I use to mount the backing plates to the axles? The ones on the backing plates are to big to fit through the holes on the axle flange and the extra ones labeled for the d44 or 8.8 are a bit small for the backing plate holes. Or does that not really matter? Also the ones that came on the backing plate seem just as long as the original.

I think I'm leaning towards using the slightly smaller longer bolts.

Random question, saw HD offroad's vendor post. What's the point in converting to rear shock towers over the stock mounting? I can see the clearance increase.

So I got the Wolo big bad max horn. Little larger than stock horn.... any ideas on where to mount this thing? Should I just go to the stock location and hope my 33s don't rub it?
Ps just bought this xj and need a horn for inspection. Didn't wanna play with stock wiring because nothing is hooked up to the stock horn currently and looks like it could be a mess so I'm just wiring up a button independent of the stock horn.

Getting some very minimals wobble when im driving, doesnt matter the speed. The issue is when I start to brake the wobble gets worse the more i brake until a point nad then it just stops when i start to brake harder. Was thinking it was my rotors since I really feel it only while braking. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
