Orion

The stock rear lower arms have been bugging me since I put the stage 2 enforcer lift on... Simple upgrade to stage 3:

Stock arms look like a #2 pencil next to EVO’s..

Much Better.

Blew the large 40amp Maxi fuses on the ARB twin last week... been racking my brain trying to figure out why... checked all the connections and everything is fine... through in new fuses and its working fine. I thought the motor stalled when the fuses blew... But now I think I forgot to start the engine while running the compressor and the battery drained... causing resistance and strain on the fuses...

Also removed the RH skid... it’s hitting the crossover enough to cause a rattle... I’ll beat on it tomorrow.

Any chance the positive feed wire rubbed on something metal somewhere?

ARB does a pretty good job of protecting those wires... I saw no pinches, or rips in the protective covering. If it happens again, I’ll be removing the whole harness and the wire covers.
 
Sounds like an over-current condition if you were running the compressor with the engine off. As the battery voltage dropped the motors need to draw more amps.

Exactly... And thinking back, the Jeep struggled to start. I must of shut the engine off and between the other three jeeps running, compressors going... I got sidetracked with the noise.
 
3rd try on the stabilizer... The Fox 2.0 was still pulling enough to annoy me.. This Rancho 5000 shock is perfect.. Swapped in the 1/2” bushings from the fox...and it bolted right up. I should have listened to others here regarding pressurized shocks. Lesson learned. I’ll be painting it black.

Took the kids up Angeles Crest to play in the Snow.

Lol. That's twice you didn't take my advice. I guess you like spending money and doing things twice... Or 3 times. [emoji23]

Glad the Rancho is working out for you. Just make sure you mount it parallel as possible or it will blow out and you'll be doing it a 4th time.
