Why were you in 4LO for that?
Mud = wheelspeed = high range
Those videos just made me reconsider getting A/Ts lol

he seems to not like being in the jeep when it starts getting bumpy, as long as Im wheelin slow enough, which is most trails, I always let him out to run around. I just keep a few towels or old blankets to try and dry him off and throw on the back seats.
also whenever I come to a water crossing i just throw a stick and use him as a depth gauge. if he stays on his feet and doesn't have to swim its doable for my stock ZJ.

If this was on this side of the country, I seriously would be on my way to buy it. I have the cash in hand too. I dont buy his inflated HP number though

For real! Theres no way a k&N intake and Edelcrap headers are making that thing 325hp. I dont think every bolt on possible would get it to that. he would need a bigger cam for sure and probably porting too.

so ever since I went down and helped my buddy pull out his stuck bronco 3 or 4 weeks ago my brakes have been making this real annoying noise.(screeching almost like nails on a chalkboard) I dont know if its the rotors or what, or if theres small rocks or sand in there, but I haven't had the money to fix it. Anyway today I realized a line of rust developing on my rear wheels.
drivers side
passenger side
I dont know what the Fu** is going on, but I'm almost to my last nerve with this jeep and feel like driving it off a cliff.
sorry for that quick vent, but can anyone help diagnose why my wheels are starting to rust and if it is brake related ?

Its probably brake dust that is rusting. Or it could be that they are cheap steel wheels. They will do that if they arent waxed regularly and washed regularly.
