Yeah I might do it when it gets warmer and clears up some. It's been raining lately a lot here.

Little water with the rubbing compound helps.....

Yes, I have done that kind of thing in the rain. Of course, it was also 85 degrees out.... and the rain was nice and warm. (and I was drunk..... yeah, long time ago.)

If this had been an actual emergency, I would be in the basement, not at my computer.

^This, is why I listen to internet radio. No ads, no emergency broadcast testing. I get all of my alerts on my phone via the carrier's network - it's built into my phones. There is never any testing - and I only get the alerts for my location.

so im kinda irritated this mornning...

i posted the same thread, both here, and on jeep forum. com, and i got more help on here, by less people, than i did on jeep forum. most of them, instead of helping are saying its a bad diif, or it happened to them, and to dump money i dont have into it.

one person went so far as to post a pic of a hub assembly to say replace it.

there was only 1 guy, like hammer, suggested to pull the cover, and do a fluid change.

i think im just gonna post here from now on. everyone on this forum are the most helpful people compared to other forums, bar-none!

Our vet made a house call for our two shepherds, 2 cats and 1 (I don't know dog). He arrived in a 2500 HEMI long bed with some kind of super utility top and many different doors. Now, I'm not a Hemi guy, but I am a Dodge guy and I thought that's pretty cool.

I notice more and more fleet trucks are Dodge. I may have to do like Wildman or redneck_ram have one less truck replaced with a jeep product. K.

i love our jeep! i learned to drive in an 03 liberty, and my mom has an 07 liberty now(its a pos).

we had a 98 grand cherokee for the last 2 years, and picked up and 03 wj overland this year. i couldnt be happier with the 4.7HO v8! tons of torque. makes me giggle when i touch the skinny pedal.

with awd, theres no wheel spin, it just launches! it also has variloks, both, front, and rear. which is lsd... quite amazing!

They're so nice inside too! Sometimes I miss the heated leather seats and sunroof and everything else it had inside....but then I remember that my 04 wj only had the inline 6 in it and still only got around 15 mpg...there's no way i'd go back!
