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 yaNow 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!)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.

How did you loose fingers Don? I only see the pre-ranger working.Does look good though. Tell the pre-ranger he did a good job.I do hear they like to bend the 44 axle tubes.
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.
If ya take off the top and knock out the windshield, they pick up power noticeably. Per my hired hands claim anyway. 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.
Quote from: TexasRedNeck on December 28, 2017, 06:39:58 AMI think they make stiffening tubes that go inside the axle housing. Slide out the shafts, slide in the axle stiffener and reinstall the shafts. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThey 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.....
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

Glad to hear Don, and looks like it was pretty easy to use as well?
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.
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.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Ken needs to elaborate? Tec hasn’t changed? Physics still say the front brakes need the stopping weightSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Physics still say the front brakes need the stopping weightSent from my iPhone using TapatalkWhat’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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
