    My 17 JKU

    Yeah, I’m ready for it. Could have used it yesterday and made getting back to a cow pasture in ice a bunch easier lol. I haven’t decided on what I’m going to buy yet. Synthetic rope or not. A lot of the trail places I’ve been reading on are starting to require them. Then what brand I’m going to...

    My 17 JKU

    Unfortunately that is not my garage. I’m about a year away from having mine put in. This is at a friends place. Luckily I can use it pretty much whenever I want. So it might as well be mine lol. I just pay a little shop tax in the form helping out when he needs it and some natty light 🤣.

    My 17 JKU

Anyway that’s what the wife said 😂. I did want to share some ratios and information I figured out. This was...

    Shift points are terrible with 305/55R20 tires

    So I guess the next question I have is I’m going with a 35x12.50r17. Stock on mine was a 255/75r-17. Which should be a 32” inch tire if my math is right. I know I have the 3.73 rear gears. That’s a 9% increase in tire diameter. Is it necessary to re-gear with such a small increase? Or would the...

    Has anyone performed the LS Swap?

    I’ve put “ls” engines in all kinds of things. I use the quotes because most people aren’t actually using an ls. They are using an ly5 which is only slightly different than the ls. Including a tractor. Never been through a Jeep. I’d say my 17 JKU will be getting one in a few years. If you have a...

    Shift points are terrible with 305/55R20 tires

    Is using the tuner to adjust shift points an acceptable alternative?
