I LOVE seeing someone use their rig like this. You're definitely enjoying it.Sorry for this late reply. The Jeep is completely stock except for skid plates, hood struts and Falcon shocks. I have had the power steering hot/steering may be limited (not the right term but you get the idea), added power steering fluid to just over amount needed. I have not had it come on since, that was a long time ago. I have had the dreaded service 4wd light come on a few times. I have the service bulletin to show the dealer but the light never comes on when I go there for the oil changes, I live over an hour away from any dealer. All it does is engage part time 4 wheel drive. I shut off the engine and start it back up and it's gone and everything is normal. That is it, nothing else. Over the years I have learned that mods can cause problems, been down that road more than once. I also believe that if you don't use it as a daily driver there will be problems. I have been down that road as well, obviously this jeep does not sit in the garage long. Last, I wheel this jeep just like I have with other jeeps and vehicles in the past. The only difference is we stay away from hard core trails but with that being said we did do Iron Chest Mine with snow that made the rocks slippery which is rated an 8 on onX.
I am sure there will be some skeptics on this post but it is the truth, I have no need to lie. This jeep has been a blast for what is now 104,000 miles. Thanks for the interest.
Keep on Jeepin' on.
