Took it for a trail ride got it high centerd when I tried to go around a tight spot spent a couple hours. Cutting up a tree and jacking up all 4 corners so my tires were able to get some grip then while getting turned back around I managed to rip off a flair and crinkle a fender my first bit of body damage.

yesterday figured out why my brakes were sounding like they were grinding. the ABS sensor was loose and hitting something..so now its taped up till i can get a new one..not sure why the ABS light is on though..working on the jeep in 104 degree weather on blacktop isnt fun.but still something worth looking forward to when at work. then today did some light offroading and broke the backseat in again(if ya know what i mean, added some more love stains to the seat hah)

If the light is on your brakes will work but the ABS has shut down until it can be serviced. ABS does not stop your car faster it just allows you to steer easier under hard braking. You will ne fine as long as you drive sensibly.

If you had to tape up your abs sensor ring because it was rubbing on something.....pretty much would guess that is why your abs light is on.....it done broke junior
