It's called werk-aah-haul-lick desease. No cure, can be terminal and detramental to relationships.

Only detrimental when only one has it. In our case both have it so it is compatible. On a side note. You know we like to find things at thrift shops. I found the prize. A Saidhead 2008 Watkins Glen green tie-dye t-shirt with bushy headed Saidhead skulls. Roc washed it and I have wore it for two days! It is so coooool!

She is back together. Very very quiet and I am very pleased. I only lowered 1 3/4" - 2". I could have lowered another 1" - 1 1/2" but not worth the extra work. I would have had to cut the hitch brace off and relocate. Only thing remaining is reinstalling the muffler (10 minutes), skid plate ( 30 minutes) and a few miscellaneous things (15 minutes). It does seem to be smoother but could be the power of suggestion, I wanted it to be quieter. This is the end of this STORY!

I lied, I'm back!

Went for a drive down the frontage road next to the freeway today. At 60 mph it was GREAT! I had not put the skid plate under the motor on and thought maybe I will leave it off. I have never had one on any of my Jeeps or sand buggies in that location. WELL, I looked at the skid plate to see if it had been used in past adventures. The thing has huge deep marks from encounters with rocks. Guess it is going back on. I had to top off the Trans gear oil but decided Royal Purple was too expensive and went with Castro Syn. Gear Oil (Half the Price). She is washed and boy was she dusty. I have to apologize to everyone who came to Farmington. I looked for some where with good terrain & cool temps. Over looked if it would be dry for months before resulting in DUST! Sorry about that! Well we are taking her to Baja or Yuma / Palm Springs this winter. Maybe we will see someone there! In the mean time We are back in our hills here at home. The monsoons have started and the DUST is gone. Have fun!

      When we first heard the noise, we immediately stopped driving it...at first we thought it might be a linkage issue, but after further inspection looks like the sound/jolting is coming from the rear diff. Took a video below...
      Anyone know what is creating the diff to skip/jump like this? We drained the diff oil and didn't look terrible, no metal.
      Other info that may be useful:
      1400 miles on it
      Recently tightened the E brake
      P.s. never posted on this forum before, let me know if the video does not work

      Howdy new member here . My hobby's Rabbit dogs , gamefowl . I'm retired from my real job but I stay busy with the hounds and gamefowl . So to help around the farm I ran across an old 2007 CC Big Country 4x2 to haul feed , water , sprayer and my sorry a$$ .It is in pretty good shape , 781 hrs. good plastic , tires, ect. . But as anything outside and 18 years old it needs seats ! The thing I have found wrong mechically the Diff. Lock Acturtor is broken where it mounts to the bracket ( partly why Im here ) . Hoping someone here can help  ! Just my wish list but Id like to find a roll cage and a composit/plastic top for it Im thinking I'll need a donor to salvage these things from ( again partly why Im here ) .Is there another brand that uses this same actuator? If anyone reads this and has or knows of any of threse parts PLEASE HOLLER !! 
      Again Howdy brothers & sisters

      Unfortunately my rear Diff housing cracked on my 2013 and I need to replace it or find a good used complete differential.  I think the same one was used from 2013-2016?  Any help or referrals appreciated.  Thanks, Gary  (949)370-2575 (in UT)

      Has anyone purchased a rear differential from Alibaba, they want $432.00 for diff and $35.00 for shipping. This would be a great deal if I can trust them any thoughts?
