I took off my 285's today and threw on my stock tires and rims. I was then looking around underneath and I'm missing the bolt that holds the panhard bar to the driver side of the axle!!!! I took it for a spin and it rides horrible as it wobbles all over the place. I guess tommorrow I'll go get a new bolt from the dealer (??) and try to nudge it in there. How could this have happened? It didnt ride like this until i took off the 285s.

Next, I have a leaking rear axle seal so I guess I need to fix that!

And for the grand finale.... I went to start my car after all this hell and it didnt start! The dome lights were really dull and nothing else worked. I switched on the driving lights and left them on even though they didnt work. I looked under my hood and the battery cables were on tight, they were clean, and the battery is brand new. Then a weird noise started coming from the fuse box. Then a few seconds later, my driving lights came on and the dome lights lit up! So I walked around and the car started perfectly!!! WHAT IN TARNATION IS WRONG???

 

Possibly a relay going bad?

 

BUMP Help Por Favor!

 

maybe a bad connection on the battery?

 

Ok, got a new bolt in the panhard and bought a battery terminal cleaner which i'll use to clean the hell out the terminals. Hopefully its all good now.

 

I lost the same bolt while wheeling one time, before I had the SS panhard rod. If you don't have a drop bracket or an extended panhard rod it will happen again. Call Schaefer and get it fixed right.

 

the SS panhard rod is awesome, by the way. totally fixed the squirrel-y-ness of my truck.

 

Ok, so I go to start my runner again today and it didnt work. So I turn on the lights and the emergence blinkers and there is a ticking noise coming out of the dash and out of the fuse box under the hood like CRAZY. Then a few minutes later, it starts up perfectly. Any ideas?
