The solar panel and mounts are back about as far back as they can go. After seeing other posts earlier where they’ve installed longer tracks, I’m thinking the cleanest way to go will be to either add another set of 42” tracks in front of the existing ones or replacing the existing ones with 60”...

Looking for ideas on how to mount 4 Maxtrax on the roof ahead of my solar panel. Anyone done it? Here’s how I’m set up now:

Thanks for the replies, folks. The steering is centered, the Procal is properly set for tire size (speedometer is within 1/2 mph of actual, according to GPS), the front electronic sway bar was replaced a couple of months back, and all worn parts of the rear Currie antirock sway bar have been...

Both sets are KO2 load range E’s, but perhaps something changed in production runs?

But not with the last set?

They’re the original 17x7.5 Rubicon wheels with 1.5” Spidertrax spacers. The spacers have been on for at least 130,000 miles and appear in good shape, no issues.

They’re load range E’s. I ran the last set at 45 psi, had no issues, and got 60,000 miles out of them. This set, however, might be different somehow, perhaps a different compound or bad batch or something? They’ve been rotated every 6,000 miles and aren’t showing any unusual wear. I’ve got...

Update: Today I swapped wheels and tires with a friend for a test run through the canyon. The tires were 255/70R18 Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts, vs. my 35x12.50R17 BFG KO2s. The borrowed tires were run at 35 psi (I’ve run my KO2s at 35, 45, and 50, with the 35s too soft and the others good) and in...

Thanks, I appreciate it. I’ll DM you to see when you’re available.

Yeah, I went by there a few weeks ago and one of his employees said they aren’t doing general work anymore; apparently they had a couple of $250K+builds they were working on.

Yep, still doesn’t like going over Grimes Cyn. No codes thrown for the clock spring. I’d definitely like another opinion, but I’m working nights and only available tomorrow afternoon/evening this week. Maybe next Monday or Tuesday afternoon or evening?

It eye-balls as centered, and my mechanic ran diagnostics while we drove it and said it was within 1 degree of center.

I’ve used the Procal for many years, but it was stolen and, once I replaced it, I reset the tire size. Perhaps I didn’t set the pins properly this time around; I’ll double-check tomorrow.

Anyone know a go-to guy for suspensions in SoCal? I’d like to get another set of eyes on it.

No codes have shown up so far; maybe the earlier JK’s weren’t set up to show as much info as later JK’s. Yep, you’re close; I’m near Sequoia and LA. I’m working this weekend, but perhaps sometime soon we could meet up.

Fair enough. I re-centered the steering wheel this evening and will check things out in the morning. Thanks for the tip on the shocks; I’ll check that out, too.

Well, the light is called the Electronic Stability Control (ESP) Indicator Light/Traction Control (TCS) Indicator Light,” so either/or? The ABS kicks in at 25+ mph.

Traction control.

Thanks. I’ll check them out again.

Just to confirm, are you talking about the rear ABS/speed sensor, or the front speed sensor that came with its harness? The rear was just the sensor.
