LoL... could be worse Don. A few axles, some Rubber and say another $20k it will be "trendy"Yea, I'm not looking forward to this one...
I am looking forward to this build where Don extends the value and handy factor of the back up camera in upcoming months :D The "how to" article on Jeep accessorizing.
Well if you lay it on a bit thicker Don we might start swaying to the side that says you don't really like the jeep..... ::)Got me there
Recall we know you owned an h2! Lol
I know how it goes man. Kay was debating about a JK or a Power Wagon and she bought the truck. Now with the Power Wagon back on the road in my sons ownership I was worried she'd want a Jeep LoLShiny and dent free is over rated!
But as it turns out she's pressuring me hard to just restore Patch and she will drive that when the crews done. "translation" She will drive the Crew and patch will stay how it is most likely. My daily life routine doesn't lend it's self to shiny dent free equipment.
You know I had a thought this morning as you were describing your fancy new Barbie jeep. If Jesus were alive I think he might drive something like patch. Not that he as King doesn't deserve the best, nope I just think after doing some reading his vehicle might resemble an old beat up pickup. An imperfect pickup kinda like the people he surrounded himself with. But that's just my opinion & I'm a bit partial I suppose.I'd agree
I think Don misrepresented the GJ concept, I don't even see any pink highlights? I mean it has lockers, 3/4 ton (center sections anyhow) axles, the tires look legit, the t-case has 4:1 low range, I agree it has a lot of girly interior stuff similar to c-max but from the looks of what the majority here drive that's acceptable. I tend to believe the wife units decision to get a capable mall mulch bed navigating vehicle is treading in on your manly mulch bed territory & you ain't comfortable with that at the present time...... ;D
before returning (with mud, and its first scratch, err, scar!)
Pretty nifty....safe to assume you have decided a emp event isn't likely? ;DNaw, not that Norm.
Big difference between this & an old cj huh?
I think Kathy needs to make an appearance on here every now and then just to make sure that don stays straight.............;D
Well, first mine ain't as hoity toity as your wife's. Second I started thinking about the upgrades between my jk & my old tj. That in itself is a big difference. Then was thinking about your wife's jk & that old cj you spoke about. Still don't think the new jk comes close to that h2 you had though.....Nothing comes close to that H2 I had.
here you go don, you can get the frau one of these here covers................And I just ordered the headlight eyelashes!

Nothing comes close to that H2 I had.
As in nothing or anybody actually wants to.
I can't believe I purchased that
Way too heavy
10 MPG on eco cruise.
No power, ever
needed 2.5 parking spaces. 2 For the vehicle, and 1/2 more if you wanted to open the doors...
Suspension travel measured in milimeters
But it said it was a trail beast, somewhere, so a couple fools would buy it!
They still need everything. D-Max engine and transmission, and all the electronics, then remember the 14 bolt in that truck is a semi floater, so that Definitely has to go. Then you still have that 9.5" front independent junk. Do a real FF 14 bolt and a D60 SAS and then, finally you have a way too wide Jeep. It doesn't even tow well because it is so short.Nothing comes close to that H2 I had.

LoL @ Beat it like his Deere...
LoL @ Beat it like his Deere...Duane was down at the farm with me today. Watching me fall off things
True story... I once applied for a position durability testing Oskosh equipment at their proving grounds. I was told after the test drive "no thanks, your not an average user" LoL
That up in WI? Reason I ask is shop I used to gm we were the OME supplier on quite a few parts. If memory serves me correctly most went to WI but I believe some went out to CT as well.
Nice jeep Don! It will look good in your lineup.Thanks Ash!
No picture?
Set out on a quest, and found itNo picture?
Of the jeep, or her catching the fish while wearing heels? ;) LOL

Hey Tate, isn't that the Chinese owned outfit? :popcorn:
uh oh... Not lights again...Reflection off the hood??
Rigid 48" light bar across the top of the windshield for the jeep. Will turn night time into daylight...
So I had to get the rotary file out and elongate the holes to get the hoop to bolt up. That is really poor for a brand new part. THis is nothing more than more chinese junk!
I need a Canadian to give me a spell check on the "eh" please...Yer good Chief :likebutton:

What did those lights cost Don?Cheap Norm, wanna say $50ish
Especially if she put gas in it. lol
I think the boss was talkin' 'bout Cmax up there^^^
Don, P1082 is the fuel vacuum switch (lift pump inop, restriction between injection pump and tank, ice....)
P128e= low fuel pressure
and P2510 is an issue with the PCM power relay. That code can be caused by low/bad batteries, possibly from her cranking it too long. The first code is the important one.
I think they make stiffening tubes that go inside the axle housing. Slide out the shafts, slide in the axle stiffener and reinstall the shafts.

That Dana 44 is smaller than the gearbox on my bush hog!
Anyhow, I took it for a drive, and I have to say, it rides great! Much quieter, and all the square sides of the previous tires are gone. It has suffered a noticeable loss of power, and since it never had any to begin with it is not a good thing. In cruise at 70 mph, it was dropping down a gear in hills. It never did that before. Maybe the engine will explode, blowing the thing apart which will get it out of my driveway...One can only dream!
Couple of poser shots for ya
Now back to cleaning bathrooms and doing dishes. I(I need something more interesting to do to liven my spirits after that frozen wasteland wrench party!)
How did you loose fingers Don? I only see the pre-ranger working.Well, it turns out I only thought I lost em'
Does look good though. Tell the pre-ranger he did a good job.
I do hear they like to bend the 44 axle tubes.
Tater, the rubies come with a 3.73 as the baseline, hers has 4.10's, the optional gear. I had to look high and low to find one with the 4.10 gear.That Dana 44 is smaller than the gearbox on my bush hog!

Looks great. They are pretty gutless out of the box, and adding the larger tires doesn't help much. if it's an auto, then probably 3.21 gears factory. A set of 4.11 would fix her up just right, but that's just another wrench party in the cold, plus you'd need to program to correct it. The tube stiffeners would be appropriate if you were using it as God intended, off road, but not for a daily unless the tuck has a lot of really big pot holes and mulch piles to navigate. Even then, I would imagine the Frau would be able to negotiate those obstacles even with two different shoes.

Any concerns on that rear track bar relocate bracket? It looks a bit “flimsy” from the angle those pictures were snapped. As you know there is a whole lot of force on that bracket, on my ome kit they dropped it on the frame side & it’s pretty beefy.It seemed pretty stout to me.
If ya take off the top and knock out the windshield, they pick up power noticeably. Per my hired hands claim anyway.Now Norm, just stop it
He is now swapping a Hemi into it because...I guess I over pay him.
Dang, without all the usual bells and whistles most jokers bolt on to those I didn't think it was a rubi. with 4.11 and 33" you should be able to get your power back with a tuner, just need to re-set the shift points. AEV makes a good one.OK, then, off to AEV!
Well this jeep has one of several courses laid out in front of itI think they make stiffening tubes that go inside the axle housing. Slide out the shafts, slide in the axle stiffener and reinstall the shafts.

They make weld in tubes (internal) using plug welds for front as well as outer reinforcement tube weld on. The inner c’s bend too & they have gusset kits. It’s all just a bandaid, not that HH6 will probably bend any of it pounding pavement or a muddy dirt track to the hide. Not sure about rear upgrades as I don’t think they are as weak being non steer axle.
I figured after that last guy the army would have the T crew covered.....As much as I HATE to admit it, you're probably right!
Let me know how the Superchips works out for you. I like to have more referral resources at my disposal. AEV has been my go to due to their JK specific nature, but superchips has been a staple for all other things programmer related for years.Copy that, Wilco.

Superchips has a 2.25" color screen which you toggle through like the Diablo and others I have used over the years. If you watch the vid on the AEV programmer, the guy is using a knife point to move these really small dip switches. Now put that in the context of someone without perfect eyesight and I think you have the recipe for big trouble.
Super Chips avoids all that mess in my view
Chief, just got an email from Cummins, the 2.8 has free shipping through the end of the year!!! which as the subject states “FREE SHIPPING ENDS IN THREE DAYS”

Glad to hear Don, and looks like it was pretty easy to use as well?Couple of selections, Tate, then "OK", wait and its all done
And there it is. The good news is you've both come to admit that you have a problem which is the first step. Jeep-itis is highly infectious, costly, and incurable. Good luck to you sir.Hopefully it will get stolen, burn up, sink in some shallow mud hole or similar and I'll be done with the thing. Build here an early Bob-tail Bronco, Scout, K5, D-90, or similar and forget we ever compromised to owning this girly jeep!
Pretty typical for Mopar nowadays. I'm seeing a lot of the same, even other brands. Chevy trucks also...basically 2 sets of rears to every one set of fronts.OK, that's new on me.

Ken needs to elaborate? Tec hasn’t changed? Physics still say the front brakes need the stopping weight

What’s to elaborate? It’s kinda the same theory as using your foot brake on your dirt bike. It would appear the manufacturers are proportioning them heavier to the rear. My thinking though it’s more the computer and stability control doing this....
I hadn’t thought of the stability control kicking on and off braking the vehicle while turning corners because of th slipping. Don. Show the wife how to turn that button off and see how the next 60k miles go.

The rear pads are tiny as compared to the fronts, maybe half the surface area. Also the rear rotors are solid and skinny, about 1/2" thick whereas the front brakes are still ventilated discs with much larger calipers.
I think the rears are just designed not to be able to stop very much...???
These days modifying your intake amounts to taking off the air filter and a couple air pipes...
It used to mean doing some real wrenching. Removing a cast iron or inefficient aluminum design and replacing with a new Edelbrock piece. Getting coolant spilled everywhere, scraping gaskets, torquing real bolts.
I recently noted that the wrists of these latest "pretty men" could be severely damaged (Slight pain the next morning) by torquing bolts over 25 ft lbs. I heard the severe soreness caused several of these FM (Feminine men) or girly men (GM) to miss the hole in their ears with the stud (Which they are not, actually more like drones in a bee hive) when putting in their earrings, causing a slight abrasion, or in severe cases an actual puncture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Devastating, I know!
In one case there was a drop of blood seen which caused the unsuspecting and suffering GM to faint, falling on his man-bun and wrinkling that all up.
Guys these days...Just give me my dogs and bypass, please!
