E-brake light can come on if you have a disconnected ABS sensor FYI!

 

Mine comes on when my left rear brake squeals enough to set off 3 Amigos. Brake light comes on too. Reset Amigos and they all go off.

 

This is the price you pay for "enjoying" mudding, along with taking care of numerous problems created from all that "enjoyment."

With light on, you have no traction control functioning; on 2003, you have no center differential lock, so one wheel, if free, can spin while you sit and hope. Essentially, in that condition, you have one wheel drive, because if one wheel, front or rear spins, you are stuck. As other guys expressed on this thread, is it really worth having that much mudding fun? More importantly, is it worth all the pain, labor, expense, to have that fun?

 

I have to admit, when I was his age, it was WELL worth it! But, the older I get, the harder it is to climb under the truck to clean it out. And, the less I want to part with my money for parts. But, I've had my Mudding Days, and they were definitely worth it, at least for those moments the mud was flying!!!

 

To be honest, I thought mudding was cool and fun when I first got my Rover.

Now I don't care to get near a mud pit. More fun to do technical trails.

I never did it; thought it was stupid, when one could do soooo many other more enjoyable things instead, with Rover too, and enjoy them wayyy more. I loved to go into places nobody else would dare to go, places almost hidden away from any human soul, just to see what I could find--in Montana, Idaho, Oregon especially, my home----you would be amazed what is out there. I learned all about mud, when I was two or three years old, and played in it!

 

You've missed out on one of the true joys in life. I to have spent many years on the road, and off the road to find those places. I also enjoy being places most others don't get to go. I've found numerous places in Oregon that are just awesome! Mining Caves, Natural Caves, Beaches, Mountains, Logging Roads, Rogue River Rafting, etc... Been all over the state. Nice place to live and visit, I've done both.

 

There's not much besides mud in Vermont.

 

and you can't always go around it. I have accidentally gone mudding way more times than on purpose. not one to turn around

 

Yeah, I'm not one to turn around either. If I've left the house and am down the driveway, I'll leave behind whatever I need. My wife gives me grief about it all the time...

I do make her turn around all the time, but that's another story... I'm a little afraid to turn around, ever since that one time in college...
