    That would require me getting off my fat ass and doing something... :mad:

    ARB bumper, warn 9.5 winch. carbon fiber hood. Leer top with thule racks and MOAB from thule. Electric fans, blue sea fuse block, Sony dvd Head unit, Xm tuner and HD tuner. New carpet and new racing seats. ( other half doesnt like them i think). Nwor springs and adjustable coil overs. Sky jacker rear shocks. Slot and drilled rotors. Engine Titanium ceramic coated headers, no cat, jba cat back. URD Rear Sensor Simulator. Leds all around and inside cab and HID H4 hi/lo beams.
    Only way to know for sure is to use a scan tool on it or if you can run ohms across it and if you have a value range you could trace it that way. By the sounds of it you have a sensor thats just barely in range and the abs computer is picking it up.

    I would if you do alot of wheeling and your wheels are under water alot, i would look at the connections for corrosion and or wiring that could be nicked also causing the failure also.

    Just purchased a set of 265/75 R16 Kumho Road Venture's KL78, so far I'm happy with them. I put them on the highway and they handled great, I switched over from BFG Rugged Trails and I can definitely tell the the difference. Only complaint I have the minor rubbing on sharp turns, I'm hoping once I install the 5100's and Eibach coils the rubbing stops

    here's a shot of one of the tires, I'll get better pics tomorrow in the daylight

    Building the rear, and now the front has really given me an appreciation for the work that goes into designing and fabricating some of the awesome bumpers from the various vendors... alottt of work, but I am so far very pleased with the outcome :D

    The rear cost me about $90 including gas to pick up the steel, the front will end up costing me right around the $80 range. Front and rear armor for around $170 :D

    This truck is a work truck - not a lot of fancy mod's here, but it's getting the job done!
    Painting my truck: Here's the progress so far... going from white to battleship gray with a black bedliner below the trim line... So far, I have the gray on... plan on finishing by Monday. Also, I debadged the truck and am painting the chrome on the grille and bumpers to a metallic black, with the plastic bits bedlined...

    Before: Notice dents on cab, surface rust abounding and chrome grille surround...

    Well, rebuilt the coilovers, replaced the LCA's, replaced the bushings in the new-to-me LCA's, replaced the lower ball joints, replaced an upper balljoint, replaced a wheel bearing, and an alignment over the last couple weeks. Flushing the radiator today and hopefully ordering a new steering pump and a rear axle. Shit, its been an expensive winter break.

    Drained the oil and refilled with G-Oil Biodegradable 5W-30.
    Drained and refilled the transmission, transfer case and rear differential.
    New air and fuel filters.
    Painted the front skid.
    AND...
    Stripped out the drain plug on the front differential trying to remove it. A new one will be ordered and I will figure some way to remove the old one, probably involve a welder and throw-away allen key.

    I did, but I think I bitched it up a little in the past. This was it's last straw.
