Keith here did cut the bumper connecting directly to the frame rails— https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/keiths-m1078a1-project-overland.157294/post-2502141

We are still working on final fit and finish, though four 31's fit without cutting out the tops, just the bottoms cut out. The tops help hold everything in place. A working, running concept proof of fit for two 2 - 31 in series battery banks in the box with a standard lid—

In SIS2GO using your serial number the 194-6722 is a part of the Sensor Group 239-2395 (which includes the o-ring). A silly question: are you sure you are returning to the correct hole? I seem to recall adding this sensor when we uprated the engine to 330hp by replacing a plug. Not sure where...

The past couple of weeks we have seen signs of a radiator leak. First, we left the truck running while dropping off something at our son's home. When we came out there was a drip under the radiator near the curb, though no sign of a leak on the radiator faces. During the following week we...

Your deaf ears? I don't know. Momma always said, "If the shoe fits, wear it." Jeep's marketing about trail rated vehicles includes the Compass. TESTED FOR THE TRAILS Trail Rated® testing begins in the state-of-the-art facilities at FCA US LLC headquarters before heading out to some of the...

Likely sent to deaf ears, though I appreciate it—

Ours with an empty cargo bed and highway tire pressure on Goodyear 395/85 measures from the ground 51" at the bed front and 55" at the bed rear—

I believe most folks do not and never will have this type of horrible experience. Since 2006 we have had: Ford F250 4x4 210,000 miles, replaced some electronic ignition parts and regular maintenance;, sold Ford Fusion 90,000 miles maintenance, good fuel mileage, but piece of crap, sold; Jeep...

My experience with Jeep Care has been similar. It is all but impossible to return parts ordered from Mopar online or get warranty service once corporate gets involved. Very disappointing, fortunately we have not had serious issues—

A CJ on 38's with a 408 that doesn't "hunt and dart all over the place like a dog chasing a rabbit..." is an oxymoron. The folks I have met over the years that value these types of units have a completely different agenda and view of enjoying the outdoors I don't understand. I do agree most...

Some posts are discussing using an older ECU unit which requires modification in newer trucks. In post #98 the schematic for M1078A1 appears to show 24v optionally from H or Z, with M unused. What the schematic doesn't make clear is how or if the options access the different programs—

A newer Jeep without the round red "Trail Rated" badge on the driver's front quarter panel it is not factory set up for off road use. In my experience most, not all, but most folks who build their own 'off road' versions do so poorly—

You may want to review the schematics in post #98 and the programming in post #99—

So, you have an Allison license for the software? $1,100 plus $500 annually, (about)?

Do you think they will fit our beadlocks?
