I doubt the living party (in custody) was carrying legally.
The dead party probably wished that he was carrying and trained.
Let it go folks. Road rage is just pride and stupidity.
You want quiet and durable. Got it.
Small world, EVO did my custom YJ steering maybe 8 or 10 years ago.
I hit the heim joints with a liquid spray, WD40, CLP, or Break Free on occasion. No noise. But we don't use that Jeep much anymore.
You must wheel it hard and a lot. Good for you...
Take it to a 4wd specialty shop. Get a digital or serious alignment. Have them spin balance the tires.
4WP is really good for parts. But I wouldn't let their techs touch my Jeeps.
I went to heim joints, custom steering on our YJ Crawler years ago. Not a daily driver though. You might look into heim joints.
Hitting them on rocks will destroy any joint tho.
Or you might have an asymmetrical issue. Maybe flex ramp it and look for binding.
He might be a AI bot.
He might be the actual Caped Crusader.
I hope he isn't, and comes back so he can educate us on running the fuel tank to 1 gallon with regularity. And as to why that makes sense.
He might be a genius. He might be.
I got into the 25 mpg range for a few miles in flatish Nebraska a few times. I am guessing it was mild downhill, but I couldn't know for sure. Maybe a tailwind.
The way my wife drives with a heavy foot, we usually average 19 to 21 mpg on long cross country drives. She likes to go fast.
We...
Good guess.
I think the 5.7 it's too outdated.
My take on it....
Base will be the 3.6 Pentastar.
Upgrade is 3.0 Turbo Hurricane.
Hardcore & wealtly can order the 6.4. (Which is less power and torque of the Hurricane... but it is a V8 N/A).
The electric stuff I left out. 4XE may be in...
The OP, according to his posts, runs the tank down to "1 gallon" with frequency.
It's not a emergent - once and a while dealio. OP does it a lot.
He owns this fubar.
I love that stuff. Got tractors and winches on my trucks and ATVs.
I would be there for you if a close neighbor. Iowa is a distance from me tho.
If you were drunk I would let you sleep it off in my house and pull you out of the field the next day. Maybe call your pops if you are under...
I understand, the OP is here for help. He calls it " Pow or Shazaam" or whatever.
Then he details the issue. "So. I had One gallon of fuel left". On a diesel!!!
End of story.
You can't help stupid.
I am now a farmer. In 2022 we had a couple blizzards come thru. -16 degrees F. My...
Yeah OK. Lol
Most don't care if the OP called it KaBoom or ShaZaam. A mild bomb going off or a 1960's caped crusader punching the Joker or Riddler... et al.
I just can't understand why the OP would run it down to "One gallon"? And how the OP knew that it was "One gallon left"...
What NOT TO DO: (My personal opinion)
20" or bigger wheels and low profile tires
Stick out with above
Chrome ANYTHING
Body lift
Wear Speedos when driving it with the doors off
Angry grill ( as mentioned)
Curb indicators or feelers
Wear white framed sunglasses when driving it, unless you...
Nice looking Jeep! Leave it alone except for rock rails.
IMO, Since you do actually go offroad...
Rock rails or sliders 1st. The JT has a long wheelbase.
Sway bar discos should be on the 'Last to buy' list, especially if you have the rear locker. Disco links are cheap to buy but a PITA...
Are you serious? Cracked the windshield on the inside because of a ring on his finger? Must have been one hell of a mosquito.
What's the real story?
There are anger management resources out there.
Just sayin'
All in good fun... But that is an amazing story.
From a former owner of a couple diesel 3/4 ton trucks, and it was already mentioned.....
1 gallon of fuel left? Are you serious? How did that happen? AND... How do you know there was 1 gallon left? Was it showing a half inch below empty on the dash guage?
You probabaly fried the fuel...
I bought my JT because of it's solid front axle in a world of IFS.
Also because I never bought a Scrambler or Commanche and wished that I had.
& a retirement gift to myself.
I needed another truck like a hole in my head.
I don't really care if the new body style has a wrangler style cab.
The...
So. Since this thread went to suspension systems... from Stella engines...
It's a free for all...
Here's mine...
Max the bearded terrier (terror) and BC the love pup. Both mutts. Both the love of my life.
Which is better? Both. Both full of love.
Be well. Jeep on.

Me too.
The world would be covered in Jeep JTs with the 5.7 in 5 years if Stella would cut the profit margin the first 2 years. And reap the benefits the next 10 years.
You know more than most can believe that you do. Hard to believe on the internet.
You are an awesome resource of knowledge. Or completely full of shit...
But...
I think that you are legit. Thank you.
Be well. Jeep on.
