Hey, just passing through and saw this post, figured why not chime in. I have a 2018 JLU Sport S which has had an OX locker in the rear, Eaton TruTrac up front and 4.56 Revolution gears. I'm not sure what you're talking about axle swaps for, as OX makes lockers to fit our M200 (Dana 35). I have...
Glad you asked. I went from 33s to 34s finally to 35s. The 34s were an accident, thinking they were 35s. Do NOT get the metric version of tires. Always use inches for these things. a 315/70R75 is classified as a 35 on websites but they are not even 34". I am running 35x12.5x17 BFG KM3s on FUEL...
My 2018 JLU has just over 40k now. Had to replace rear pads 2x already. Last May it failed inspection due to parking brake not holding at idle. I adjusted myself and it passed, but now I need another sticker sometime next month and no matter how tight I adjust the tension it will not hold for...
Anytime after it hits 100mi RTE. I just like knowing I have enough to bug out quick if the shit hits the fan ??‍♂️ Not a fan of running on E out of fear of running out
You will be fine installing and driving with 315 or 12.5in (same thing, almost) tires on the stock 7.9" wheels. No rubbing or anything, but you will not have much, if any, tire poke from the fenders. They will be flush or inset, like stock, but obviously a bit wider. Probably get you to the edge...
M200 Dana 35 in back, M186 Dana 30 up front on my model. Just changed the diff fluid this morning, way early, just wanted to. Went with Royal Purple Max Gear synthetic. 75W-140 in back, 75W-90 up front. Not sure what the shop used when lockers and gears were installed last November, but I swear...
I love the fact that the TruTrac just works when it's supposed to as long as you're in 4wd. The rear can be engaged in 2wd, so that's pretty slick as well. I'm sure OX is working diligently as we type... peace!
I upgraded to a JKS adjustable track bar. Wasn't really necessary, as it lined up fine, but my stock bent on a run so I had to go big or go home. Aside from that, the Mopar lift doesn't really need much more than the kit comes with to ride true. My Mpoar 2" lift gave me 4" true height...
The OX was hands-down the best thing I've purchased, aside from the lift and 35s of course. Insane how it boosts your confidence. I generally don't wait to have an issue or start slipping, I just look at the obstacle and engage and power through. Hell, that's why I paid for it! After using it a...
A little late to the party, but if Jeep prints 130ft-lb in the manual, why is there even a debate or question? If they feel 130ft-lb is proper torque, then that's that, in black and white. I was just here to make sure my spacers were torqued adequately, which they are, but mine didn't come with...
I got the Flashcal F5 because I trust the Superchip name and company, first off, and more importantly, I like that the flashcal is a handheld unit that you plug in when you want to use specific features and it's easy to use. I would rather that than navigate through the cruise control/menu...
What about the Superchips - Amp'd Throttle Booster? They have two; one with a controller with unnecessary settings (400% boost is unrealistic and unnecessary) and one that is a fixed mount near the pedal. I chose the cheaper, fixed unit. It offers 50 and 100% boost. I tried 100 for a few days...
Thanks! I actually helped Foster_WV out a bit with questions regarding lift and tires and possibly steps for his wife :)
So the OX is bulletproof, so I've heard. Very solid choice. I wanted tough, simple and effective. I chose the cable due to simplicity and ease of use. And if it fails, I have...
:I've only been driving the Jeep since Wednesday afternoon, not enough time to really tell. My average is reading 16.6 now, with a mix of wheeling, city and highway. I'll reset trip meter after a fill-up this weekend and get a good reading. I don't use the on the fly mpg reading. Fluctuates too...
I was running stock gears on my 35s for months now, 8spd auto. I didn't notice much change in performance after the tires, calibrated for 35s and all so shifting was perfect and rpms were fine. I just had lockers installed this week, regeared while there. Went from 3.45 to 4.56. Holy shit I had...
Very nice my man, and thanks for the kind words. It was a pleasure passing along my info and helping a fellow Jeeper! Can't wait to see your progression with the build.
sup man, fancy stumbling upon your post here as well! I had the NFAB steps in the attached pics. I did absolutely love them for a while, until I joined my Jeep club and found out the hard way why I should have gotten sliders, not steps, in the first place. A $400 error, tossed in my shed with...
