I was towing a friends 26ft boat up the boat ramp at a private boat ramp a few weeks ago and tires started spinning on ramp. Jeep slid sideways and rear tire slid off boat ramp.
I put a straight edfe on it again a few minutes ago and apparently it's not bent. Straight edge I was using earlier apparently wasn't that straight.
Still having driveline issues. I'm taking it to Oliver the week of the 27th to figure it out.

So drove up to PA today to visit family no problems till I got to a red light by his house. The check gauges light came on and oil pressure was at 0 gave it some gas went away got pressure. Gonna check oil and all see if its low or something oil was just changed 1000 miles ago. Any other things I should look for?
Mine does this cause I've been too lazy to change the ospu

You know why?
Common problem TJ's and XJ's post 96....the new gauge cluster's pins lose their mating surface...the dead giveaway is the check gauges....
If it is a 97+, you take out the gauge cluster...SLIGHTLY bend the pins, smother them in dielectric grease, and reinstall. Problem gone forever,
Their is a Service Bulletin regarding this...had to do it to mine...year later...no issues.
