Re: CJ starting problems fixed. Now blowing CJ hubs.
I changed the header seeing as this thread went sideways. Greg fixed
the solenoid. I easily explode the stock Jeep hubs themselves, Greg sent me two extras and I am on the last one, so those fuses look like an interesting option with the warn hubs, thanks for the link. I am going to ask about them at my local 4x4 shop to see what they think about them for our wheeling. We have impacts. We are hard on parts. Our trail muck usually has a hard bottom so when you go from 3rd low to the max chewing through a foot of corn snow on an ice pack to hitting solid bottom, it gives things quite the jolt. I am going to post a couple photos of the trip a couple weeks ago when I blew the last hub over on alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4. I was only 1/4 mile from getting to camp after 70 miles of insane bush trails and detours around major washouts.

Anywhere else you could put them Mike ? I don't have access to that group
from my ISP, and it doesn't seem to be hosted by google either ?
