Put a high drain load on what should be your aux battery and measure the voltage of the 2 batts to make sure you are draining from the second battery not the starting battery. You could use a couple of driving lights or something similar....

Got it servied and finished cutting down springs for go.jeeps add a leaf mod.
After pressure testing radiator is now leaking....
Auto is also apparently due for a service. I told them to leave both of them, ill do them myself.
One thing that has got me confused it the Compression test results. They came back 165 to 180psi, yet factory service manual says they should be 120 to 150psi....

compression numbers should be noted on the 3rd rotation. they continued cranking beyond that until compression peaked explaining the higher readings. good healthy numbers there tho.

Fitted new front slotted disk rotors. RDA brand $180 pair.
The inside corner of the hub bit rubs a little on the backing plate now, so need to do a bit of adjusting!
