got a photo of where this is found in a caddy? applicable years?

I'm curious as to whether airing down to 5psi and taking it super slow might have meant floating on the crust.

my 06 Liberty used to know which one was the spare, no matter which rim was actually there. I mean, those sensors are all long gone now since swapping out the rims, but it used to.

gotta give a shout out to Thompson's Used Auto Parts near Greenville SC. Nice people and they allowed us to pull our own parts. it's been a couple years since I was there, but they had like 30 grand cherokees and a handful of cherokees and one lonely MJ (that was pretty dang stipped) 9 Ridgecrest Dr, Fountain Inn, SC 29644

pretty sure we have a few pet threads

some things I've learned over the years: -33s only give 1" more ground clearance than 31s but quadruples the headaches -wheeling your daily hard can cause all sorts of problems when monday rolls around -closer to stock = better daily driver -a reliable running truck is the most important thing -recovery points are a close second -armor is a close 3rd -lockers are 4th -spending money on things you don't actually need depletes your resources and makes it harder to maintain the daily driver status a 3" lift with good 31s and the proper bumpers and rocker guards makes for a great daily and will easily handle 4x4 duty on the weekends. you don't need giant tires to go have fun.

what's your budget for the project?

what do you plan to do with the truck once it's done?

I hate fixing stuff. but I loooove upgrades!

turbines are always a win

sounds like the same guy that painted it painted my trailer too. the pressure washer just started cleaving off huge swaths of paint. prep people! prep is everything! sounds like you've got a great project going on.

hurray!

always hard to lose family

this new virus is incredibly contagious and kids are notorious germ spreaders. if a school district wants to go full virtual for a while, I can't blame them for erring on the side of caution. I know my old school district in Michigan is doing testing and contact tracing and a friends elementary age kid was sent home along with the entire class for 2 weeks of virtual classes after one of the kids in it turned up positive. after that they went back to regular classes again. no one alive has ever had to deal with a pandemic on this scale and so different people have different ideas of how best to stay safe but keep regular life going. be patient and keep your learning the priority.

why not ask for ideas now? we have a whole Tech forum dedicated to that

just now scrolled by that on FB and saw a bunch of "you need to make this again" in the comments. careful what you wish for people! IFS/IRS with a cutesy grille and no payload abilities could be coming your way. my emotions are torn between: "yay! they acknowledged our existence!" and "seriously?, that's what we get? Kinda wish they'd just forget about us again."

this build is completely epic. and so I shall move it to the appropriate forum. kudos to all the hard work!

a tip I find super important is to write down where I left off and leave that paper in the truck when I know I won't get back to it any time soon.

the REM is a godsend. with 30 year old trucks, it's usually a combination of old parts that causes frustrations.

yeah, when my folks bought their first trailer I found out just what people meant when they told me that trailers were not built to the same standards as cars. the initial run though found only a couple problems, but the next couple years found sooooo many more. thankfully they have me around so that the trailer wasn't stuck in the shop more than at a campground. it helped immensely to join a forum dedicated to our trailer's brand so I could find out what others had done.

story of my life.

did you get your package?

upgrade shafts with the bigger joints will make for a strong axle.

find someone with a welder and they can fix that up in 5 seconds.
