    Scared to drive ol' Red: another death wobble story

    Bang on comment . Solid front axles were used in quite a few trucks & the original SUV’s like Bromcos & Blazers back in the day . Knew a few who owned them.. Wobble was never an issue . Seems the Wrangler is highly sensitive if geometry is out . Also prone to wearing out components like...

    A couple weeks ago posted some pics on here of the Mt Aerosmith area ., Tried to access trails we could see across the valley . Sadly heavily gated so no access . Went back to Lake Cowichan and explored an area never been to . It was awesome . Shelf roads as far as the eyes could see .

    Yes Gatekeeper is the company that makes them. $160 ish CDN . Well I hope Puppers seizures are able to be sorted out . I imagine vet is trying different variations of anti seizure meds to get that under control . He is a beautiful looking pup. Keep us in the loop with Puppers .

    While reading your post I was like “ steerable light brackets ?” Took to Google & UTube . Genius Ducking Genius ! Going to order a set of brackets soon for the Jeep . They look fantastic on your Jeep . Have you had a chance to use them on the trail ?

    2010 JKU will not shut off when the key is removed from the ignition

    I don’t know but will the Jeep even turn over/start without the steering wheel attached ?

    My seemingly never ending death wobble journey

    Everything our fellow Jeepers said is accurate . 100 percent . I’m guessing you purchased Jeep with a 4” lif as you were unsure of brand . As @Chris mentioned adjustable Lower / Upper control arms will help you dial in caster and pinion angle . When I replaced my track bar with a Yeti Steer...
