I got myself a 135dB air horn.

Sliding in rain is usually due to 2 issues. Bad tires, and/or excessive speed. I slid a few times in rain with my previous all-season tires. Then I bought my Mastercraft Courser MSR tires which are a hybrid snow/mud/rain tire. They have tons of siping in the tread which helps with snow and rain traction. Haven't had a problem in rain since. Does your jeep have ABS? If it has an 8.25 rear axle it won't, and then even some with the D35 didn't either.

I am pretty sure it has ABS. And I wasn't going fast at all. 30mpg at most since I was anticipating having to stop. Tires are brand new as of this spring.

Wow... not the same here man. It starts raining in September usually and stops sometime in May. lol That is what it is like living in a rain forest I guess? Oh and it gets cold for like a few weeks too.

To the Jeep, I drove it to and from work. I also ordered an exterior temp sensor for the Overhead Console I still have to install.

On my way into town to volunteer at the Childrens Museum, I started to slow down for stopped traffic on a wet road. Problem was that I didn't slow down, my tires locked........cranked the wheels right and ended up on top the sidewalk. Backed it up and took off with no damage.

Now my question, I didn't feel my ABS pulsing on the pedal. Is it probably not working? Also, it is my brakes causing traction issues in rain or my tires?

If you have a D35 as your profile states, you could have ABS, best way to tell is to look for the ABS modulator under the hood on the left side in front of the master cylinder IIRC.

Went wheeling and flooded the inside again. Second time this month. Really need to fix that hole in my floor.

 

[RacerX]

Went wheeling with the SBNF Ranger and we had to move a rock out of the road to get though, but not until I got some photos on it and trying to use it as a anchor...

Um, why did it need to be moved? Looks like plenty of room to me...

I think you should have just blasted it ! lol - The extra gravel would help the trail :-D

[240kat]

replaced the front pinion seal...


...for the second time (forgot the sealant on the inside of the seal the first go around).

Since this is my first post, I've also:
-replaced the valve cover and gasket, cap, rotor, wire, plugs, upper rad hose and the intake filter

I'll post pictures soon; it's the best vehicle I've ever owned. Love it!

Theres a sealant you need to put on them? what would this be cause I've got to do the same thing soon for both my front and rear pinion seals.

I am pretty sure it has ABS. And I wasn't going fast at all. 30mpg at most since I was anticipating having to stop. Tires are brand new as of this spring.

If it has ABS there should be a module inbetween the brake booster and the computer on the driverside under the hood. I'll see if I can get a pic of mine. With my previous '00 XJ, it had the 8.25 and occasionally my brakes would lock up in the rain. Not fun with small crappy tires. Oh and 30mpg is not that fast in a jeep. :rofl:

J/K man. But what kind of tires do you have?

 

[AoA]

took out my hatch carpet and vacuumed it out.

 

[99goldxj]

I need to paint this or something at some point, that is ugly.

Tire.

anything really. I used gutter sealant, but really any kind of liquid gasket works fine. Some axle grease on the seal itself (where the yoke gets inserted) is a good thing too. In the FAQ thread of the tech section, you can find a write-up on replacing it. I did the front one in about 45 minutes.
