At the risk of sounding like an enormous weenie.........if we get the weather currently being forcasted, I don't intend on schlepping to Rausch. That's right, I said schlepping. Heck, I'm still trying to de-ice my trailer (unsucessfully) from the last storm.  A few inches, no problem- several feet, not so much.

Anybody else feeling the same?  Is there a day/time we should check back here for a verdict? Whay say you fellas Ryan, Kevin and Mort?

That's how it always goes........lol

You'll probably find an issue near the ignition switch. I just went through this on a friends 99TJ, ignition switch was bad.

Zach....

If I'm thinking right, isnt the actual solenoid located basically with the starter?

Also, I remove the starter relay and just use some wire to jump, correct?

Jim....I know, I'm a moron....never had this issue before....past vehicles I've replaced a solenoid that was mounted on the firewall or side of the engine compartment....I've even rebuilt a starter in the past....but have never had an issue with my Jeep....

The solenoid is on the starter, the RELAY is in the PDC box by the air cleaner. Jump at the RELAY with a paper clip or some thing similar. You are breaking it in  two halves this way (key switch, dash wiring, clutch switch and relay socket) and (battery, starter, starter solenoid and cabling)If I remember correctly, the two pins you jump will be at the 12 and 6 oclock position when standing with your belly against the RS fender.

You could quickly determine which half of the system the issue lies in by jumping the starter relay in the under-hood junction box.

If you jump the control side of the relay with the key in the on position and the engine cranks, it's in the ignition side.

( Make sure it's out of gear ! )

Technical Advice and Questions / Re: How much lift

« on: October 29, 2013, 12:02:44 pm »

Mort,

Of course this is just my opinion and school of thought.

I don't think I would put too much thought into the current lift now.....

If you are looking to re-configure what you have now I would look at a JKS 1.25" Body lift first. This would allow you to run 1" taller motor mounts and install high clearnace belly pan and fuel tank skid that pushes the tank back up in the frame 1.5" like those from Rokmen.

Then, you could look at some control arms with Johhny Joints, also from Rokmen. This would take some stress off of those mounts.

In the end all you are left with is the coils and shocks, which I would assume you could have your pick accross the price range. Currie on the high end and RC on the lower end......3 to 4 inch coils should be plenty at that point.

Regradless you can't overlook the step of setting up extended bumpstops. You can always limit your uptravel to keep the tires out of the body.

know where to jeep is a great business. I buy everything thru them. eric and his crew are great they have the big stand right across from quadratec at our jeep show every year. one of the few companies I will vouch for.

Thanks Hillbilly-

Good to know. Now that you mentioin it, I know the stand you are talking about.

I googled it, they are right around the corner from where I work. That sounds like it might come in handy.  I didn't realize it was a brick and mortar place I could go t to get things.

From everything I've heard, the Nth degree design and product line was very highly regarded. I'm interested in checking out the products as you tool up. Sounds like a great idea, and good luck!

On another note, this may be just me.....I live and have lived in York all my life and have never heard of your company. Can you elaborate just a little bit....is it an online store or a brick and mortar? Is it associiated with a shop or only a retailer? Was it previously named anything else.?
