What did you do to your Jeep today?

Went coyote hunting, then forgot about the coyotes and cruised the trails and took in some views.

After rebalancing and rotating the tires the other day I got a vibration around 50-55.

I watched the tech balance all the tires to "0". So the tire is balanced perfect but still is out of balance.

I've came to the conclusion the tire either has a busted belt or is out of round.
I've had this tire on the jeep 3 times now and taken it back off after a few hundred miles each time. I always figured the tech got lazy on one wheel and didn't get it completely balanced, but this time I watched him closely....

I put it back on the tailgate, I'll see if I can get it replaced.

Could be a bad rim also.

I hope not they are brand new. That rim and tire combo probably have less than 1000 miles on it...
I'm going to get it checked later this week

Took the tire that I've been having trouble balancing to get looked at.
So it appears that I've got a bent rim :( not sure how, its been a spare its whole life. Must have been bent when I got it. I'm going to see if I can get it warrantied, I think I'm outside the warranty period.

Contacted 4wheelparts about my bent rim and I'm getting ready to sent it back for a replacement :)

Put the stock spare back on so I can return the bent wheel... I knew I saved all the old junk for a reason

Finished installing a Ford Taurus 2-speed fan and tying it in with the factory Wrangler A/C....
I've included the wiring diagram to help those who have A/C...
